Why I picked my specialty: Not only do I have the privilege to cure skin cancer on a daily basis, I also get to apply my artistic/ creative side in reconstructive surgery and cosmetic procedures.

Advice to the younger me: Wear sunscreen and take care of your skin. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

A life-defining moment: Becoming a father to twins.

The last book I read was: Spot Loves His Daddy to my twins, and the next book I’ll read is, well, probably the same book several dozen more times.

Have a question for Dr. Molenda?

Send your questions to AskTheDerm@braviaderm.com

Winter Skin Care How can I protect my skin from cold, harsh weather?

I recommend bathing with a gentle non-soap cleanser with moisturizers and lukewarm water. Soaps and hot water strip the natural protective barrier and oils from the skin, causing dryness and irritation. After bathing, I recommend patting the skin “damp” (not rubbing dry) and immediately applying a fragrance free, ceramide-containing moisturizer.

Is sunscreen necessary in the winter?

Yes, for exposed areas like the face, neck and ears.

While most people spend less time outdoors during the winter months, Ultra-violet A (UVA) radiation still gets through window glass and causes DNA damage.

You can also get a sunburn while shoveling snow or skiing. Some people call it “wind burn” in the winter, but it is often actually a sunburn. In fact, the white snow is very reflective and can make sun exposure even more intense. I recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher that contains zinc oxide or titanium oxide (physical mineral sunscreens).

Aging Gracefully Mind, Body and Spirit We can do this

By Pat Nowak 50-80 is growing quickly. The longer lifespan means your skin needs a lot of special attention to age gracefully, for both men and women.

She recommends Keeping your healthy glow two products that are found in drug Dr. Erin Hennessey from Blush stores, Cetaphil and CeraVe, which Aesthetics (named because she are priced quite reasonably and wants your skin to have a healthy are not harmful. CeraVe is proteinglow) knows about skin care. based and time-released.

Two weeks later most of us have abandoned our latest resolution and are back to the our old habits. But what if we concentrate on one or two or three things that can make a difference in our lives?

Modern ways to maintain

While Dr. Hennessey supports the use of Retin A, she maintains that many skins cannot tolerate it and the cost is high. Some newer products on the market are gentler to the skin at a lower price, including Alastin and Avene.

The doctor suggested costeffective recommendations to help combat the aging process, recommending Forever Young BBL (Broad Band Light) and Halo Laser. No longer cumbersome, BBL, the light broadband treatment, stimulates collagen, makes your skin brighter, can assist with acne and rosacea, all with minimal downtime. It is hoped that in a couple of years, the process will become a skin-cancer preventative.

For those who need a bit more attention, Halo Laser helps with sun damage, visible signs of aging, poor texture and skin tone. While this treatment used to take two weeks to heal, now you can get it done on a Friday and be back to work on Monday.

Worth a shot

Dr. Hennessey reports that Botox use is on the rise, most notably with millennials, who use it to prevent the deep-set wrinkles that those over 50 are fighting. What can a woman over 50 do? The doctor emphatically says: use a good skin cleanser, an antioxidant so that the sun can be used well, a

While very apprehensive for no apparent reason, I was a willing participant in having a Broad band light (BBL) procedure done by Hennessey. I was amazed at how easy it was; it took 20 minutes and the only discomfort felt like a tap with a light band. I was amazed how much brighter my skin looks and how tight it feels. A procedure like this costs $395 and you will need two or three appointments; after that it is totally maintenance.

Yoga improves your mind and body Yoga is a form of exercise that is accessible to everyone. I was overwhelmed by the available choices available.

Keep calm and Hatha

I visited Sharon Kripke, who has the Yoga Alliance’s highest teaching designation, E-RYT 500, as well as certifications from Yoga for Golfers and Prenatal Yoga.

Kripke has practiced yoga for 25 years, studying Hatha Yoga, and received her Hatha Yoga Teacher’s Certificate in 2008, opening Yoga Journey in 2009.

Sugar is really, really terrible for us!

It is so addicting and affects the aging process on so many levels.

Cardio yoga

“Yoga is a great way to enrich your mind, body and soul,” Kripke says. “The practice of yoga involves moving through a series of poses using specified breathing techniques. By deeply inhaling and exhaling, you are able to build strength, energy and flexibility.”

“Yoga has been proven to increase energy, improve focus, reduce blood pressure, and relieve stress along with many additional benefits to overall wellness. It instantly improves posture and

builds core strength, both of which are essential to preventing injuries and back pain. Yoga has become a staple for professional and everyday athletes, because of its extraordinary impact on performance,” she states.

According to the Sanskrit term “hatha” actually refers to any yoga that teaches physical postures. So, in reality, all yoga is hatha yoga,” This type of yoga seems to be best for beginners. It has a slower pace and is great if you are starting yoga. Kripke’s class was very relaxing. I felt less stressed after working with her.

I then visited Renee Mason at The Fitness Shack introducing the newest rage in yoga. Buti Yoga workouts transform body and soul with cardio-intensive bursts of tribal dance, primal movement and conditioning woven into a dynamic yoga practice.

Buti yoga is “a cure that had been hidden or kept secret.” The Buti community, considered a tribe, uses this workout for cardio and body sculpting. Created by Celebrity Trainer Bizzie Gold, Buti Yoga utilizes the Spiral Structure Technique to tone deep abdominal muscles that stabilize and strengthen the body.

www.mlivingnews.com

Most of the women in the class were younger and thoroughly enjoying the powerful workout, while I just barely kept up. I prefer one of the more sedate yoga sessions at The Fitness Shack, which also offers open gym, row and tone, circuit training and a host of classes seven days a week.

All you need to get started is a yoga mat and a commitment to learn something wonderful for yourself. Remember to focus on your breathing. Inhale for energy and strength. Exhale for deeper flexibility. Let your mind and body work in harmony— Namaste!

Entertainment Hit The Slopes

The Toledo Ski Club is for all seasons

By Pamela S. Crabtree, MLS

You want adventure? You want thrills? You want socializing! Or maybe just plain fun mixed with some exercise? The Toledo Ski Club (TSC) has it all. TSC is not just for challenging and conquering the slopes, it’s also for playing tennis, golf, volleyball and maybe even a trip to Put-In-Bay. Every year they also make charity part of their mission.

Variety of activities

The TSC’s website, toledoskiclub.net states they also “host and attend parties and events. It is not unusual for members to meet at local watering holes and festivals for food and drinks, for friendship and camaraderie. We are more than just a ski club, we are a social club.”

Rick Popiolek, TSC President boasts of the Club’s 70th anniversary celebration, explaining “we have 340 members, around 225 families and around 100 single people and single parents. Anyone over the age of 21 can join.”

Using the Club’s lodge

The location of the lodge is 47 South Shore, Boyne City, Michigan, with the closest slope being “Boyne Mountain which is 7 miles away, 14 miles away is Boyne Highland and there’s another one called Nubs Nob also about 14 miles away. More people go up there for skiing no doubt, but there are really great golf courses up there. Six of Michigan’s top ten golf courses are within a ½ hour drive (from the TSC lodge),” said Popiolek.

The lodge is cozy and “members can go up all year long as long as they make a reservation. Reservations range from $13 to $44 dollars a night. Christmas time is the busiest and then usually MLK weekend and President’s Day weekend are always full during that time. We have 12 bedrooms, there are 2 men’s restrooms, 2 women’s restrooms and 12 showers,” Popiolek relates.

Though skiing is the key missing of the club, TSC’s Vice President Sandy Hamilton ,a retired lawyer and a TSC member since 1992, said, “I don’t ski as much but the social events that we have like the mixers, usually on Friday nights, are a lot of fun.” Ms. Hamilton is also active in the TSC Tennis League explaining “we play Sunday nights and it’s been going on for years and years. A couple arrange it with Shadow Valley every year and we play starting in October, take a little break at Christmas, and then start up again in January.”

Good for the community

The TSC is also benevolent as the Club does fundraisers at Christmas time, selecting a charity and donating the proceeds to them, according to Popiolek. The latest charity to receive the TSC’s generosity was Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet. “Membership dues are really reasonable” said Ms. Hamilton and according to their website, a single membership is $48.27, single parent (1 adult and their children under 21) is $64.35 and a family membership (2 adults and their children under 21) is $80.44. The membership year is September 1 thru August 31.

Skiing time

According to The National Ski Areas Association website (nsaa.org), January is “Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month” and details information on ski safety, using protective gear and cautioning about chairlift safety.

With almost 10 million skiers and snowboarders in the USA (according to statista.com), there is a constant need for ski and snowboard equipment and gear. TSC has a Ski Swap once a year, selling used used ski equipment and clothing, held at Mountain Man at 2735 Reynolds Road.

Update Your Web Browser.

Surfing the web without an updated browser is like swimming with sharks.

It’s not really a matter of if, but when, a cybercriminal will spot you floundering without a cage and attack. Web browsers often have security updates.

To make sure you’re using the latest version, visit the homepage of the browser.

Use Antivirus Software.

A firewall acts like a traffic cop, directing cars at an intersection. It enforces security by preventing unauthorized or potentially dangerous internet-based materials from getting to your computer.

Antivirus software detects these kinds of malicious materials. Another option is a security suite­—a one-stop solution that typically includes antivirus, firewall, anti spam, parental control, and some sort of additional privacy protection, such as protection against phishing sites. See PCMag.com for recommendations.

Be Cautious With Public Wi-Fi.

Never use your credit card information for online shopping or access sensitive online activities, like your bank, on a public wi-fi network.

Guard Your Physical Devices.

While you can do a lot to prevent a hacker from remotely accessing your devices, a criminal will have an easier time extracting or corrupting information if your physical device gets into their hands. So, don’t leave your phone or laptop unattended in public places.

Pet Tips For A New Year

Afraid of losing everything you’ve saved to the high cost of nursing care?

By Dr. Bob Esplin Happy New Year to all pet-loving readers. This month I am passing on some information that all pet owners should know. n It seems anytime we or our pet gets get a cut or scrape, the first thing we grab is the hydrogen peroxide. It sure looks effective as the H2O2 bubbles and foams when mixed with blood. In reality you are doing much more harm to the tissue than you are helping. Hydrogen peroxide does the same thing to living cells that it does to your hair when applied. Instead of peroxide, use liberal amounts of soap and water to cleanse and dilute the wound contamination. Of course, if there is significant bleeding, applying direct pressure and calling for an immediate vet appointment is indicated. If home care seems possible to you, apply Polysporin or Bacitracin, not Neosporin, and cover with a light wrap. Any wound with pulsing bleeding needs to be seen immediately by a professional, as that means an artery has been cut. n The normal body temperature for a dog or cat is higher than the normal human temp of 98.6 degrees. That is one reason why hugging your dog or cat feels so good. For both species, normal temperature is 101 degrees plus/minus one degree.

Excitement, ambient temperature and exercise can raise a pet body temperature several degrees. If a pet is not feeling well and its temperature is over 103-104 degrees, call and schedule a same-day appointment. Of course, never leave your pet in a locked car

during the day, even on a sunny winter day, as hyperthermia can come on very fast.

Brown spots on the lawn are a real problem for some dog owners. Urine is composed of urea molecules which is also used as a fertilizer.

Therefore, brown spots are actually a fertilizer burn which damages the grass. Soil pH and the type of grass also play a role in the problem. The pH of the urine plays no role in the cause or prevention of the brown spots. Products are sold that claim to prevent urine damage but may actually predispose your dog to urinary infections or bladder stones. Dilution is the solution to brown spots on the lawn. Increase your dog’s water consumption so it voids more diluted urine. Dump a bucket of water on its pee spot or turn on the sprinklers. A pee place with mulch or stone can be created so that the lawn remains clean and green. n There was some controversy concerning the vaccine for canine influenza virus until late last year when NW Ohio experienced a severe outbreak. One simple statement: get your dog vaccinated against the canine flu. It is a severe disease that must be prevented, just like Parvo, and other infectious diseases. Only frequent locations with your pet that require all dogs to be protected. n

Fear-free moment: Adaptil for dogs and Feliway for cats is a safe and inexpensive way to reduce anxiety in your pet. Buy some and use it regularly in times of stress.

Health Another Look At Breast Cancer

Compassion, competence and communication

By Pamela S. Crabtree, MLS “First, do no harm” is a guiding principle for physicians emphasizing that the patient’s well-being is the primary consideration. One physician who personifies that principle and has been helping men and women with breast health concerns and diagnoses for 30-years is Dr. Robin Shermis of the ProMedica Breast Care Center (located in the Harris McIntosh Tower on the Toledo Hospital Campus, 2121 Hughes Dr.) Competence Dr. Shermis, 61, a radiologist, received his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine followed by a his residency at the University of Michigan. He said “I always had a strong interest in breast cancer and breast imaging” and consider myself “a champion” in the fight against breast cancer.

Dr. Robin Shermis, a radiologist with the ProMedica Breast Care Center.

Compassion A retired bank employee and bookkeeper, Diana LaPlante, 67, formerly of Toledo and now a resident of Pickerington Ohi, she explained how she came to know Dr. Shermis and how he helped her cope with her fear: “In May of 2015 I had a mammogram

91% Customer Satisfaction • 4 Star Quality Measures

that looked not right so they brought him (Dr. Shermis) in and he said there was a little spot on my mammogram and he wanted me to come back in six months. When I came back, as he suspected, it got a little bigger although it never got very big and so he caught it right away, performed a biopsy and found it was cancer. He knew I was upset and talked to me in his office and showed me my mammogram and explained what was going to happen.

I felt a little more comfortable after his explanation. He was very sympathetic and compassionate, so caring and I was happy and relieved I was under his care. I am grateful to him.”

In January 2016, Ms. LaPlante had a lumpectomy, since that time she has had two mammograms that were negative.

According to the American Cancer Society, men should see a health care professional if they experience all or some of the following symptoms: “A lump or swelling, which is usually (but not always) painless, skin dimpling or puckering, nipple retraction (turning inward), redness or scaling of the nipple or breast skin, discharge from the nipple.”

recommend women begin screening at age 50. Dr. Shermis takes extreme issue with screening at 50.

He said “(Screening) unequivocally should begin at the age of 40 with a mammogram every year. That controversy has been stimulated by people who are trying to save money not trying to save lives,” said Dr. Shermis, adding “People should know that our goal is to detect breast cancers early, when are they more curable. The treatments and the ability

Communication One point of controversy is when women should begin mammogram screening. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force mammogram guidelines

According to breastcancer.org, “About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. In 2017, an estimated 252,710 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 63,410 new cases of noninvasive (in situ) breast cancer. About 2,470 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2017. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000

Health Notes Caring for Parkinson’s

Approximately one million Americans currently live with Parkinson’s disease, with 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year. With no definitive diagnostic test, and a large variety of symptoms, many physicians say, “No two people have the same Parkinson’s disease.” Since symptoms of the neurodegenerative disorder vary so much, the rate of misdiagnosis is around 25 percent, a truly shocking number. To combat this issue, and help train a new generation of medical professionals to care for the unique needs of these patients, the University of Findlay offers an elective course, focused on Parkinson’s, during the spring 2018 semester. Led by pharmacist and associate professor Charles Mosler, Pharm.D (pictured above). The course will focus on issues such as sleep disorders, patient self-care, and recognizing symptoms. Contact Dr. Mosler at 419-434-4440 or mosler@findlay.edu.

Dini ng out Generations of Family Dining at Schmucker’s Restaurant Good food at a reasonable price

By Jeff McGinnis Doug Schmucker, the current owner of the staple Toledo diner, is pointing out customers in the dining room: “Jerry comes in every Monday. He always orders goulash. Joann, on the other hand, gets two eggs and toast— lightly buttered. Some regulars come in Monday through Saturday.” But like the diner, regulars also take Sunday off— the day Schmucker’s is closed.

For many, the North Reynolds Road diner is a staple of the Toledo landscape. Its’ classic diner fare and legendary pies have been a Glass City culinary tradition for almost 70 years, with generations making Schmucker’s a part of their lives.

“It’s an authentic, family diner where you get to feel like part of the family,” said Doug. “We serve good, homemade food, mostly made from scratch. We peel our own potatoes, chop our own french fries, and our hamburgers are portioned and pattied daily. Even our gravy is made from the drippings of our slow cooked roast beef.”

The history

In 1948, Doug Schmucker’s grandfather, Harvey, decided to take a chance. He borrowed $20,000— not exactly chump change at the time— from two of his brothers and opened Schmucker’s Dairy Bar, originally more of an ice cream and pie shop than a diner. The menu items were all completely homemade, literally— Harvey’s wife Nola would make the Mon–Thurs 11am-11pm | Fri & Sat 11am-12 Midnight

pies in their home down the road.

While pies are now made in the restaurant, a lot of the basics from that original menu are still intact all these years later.

“My father worked here his whole life, before passing away in 2000 at age 68,” said Doug. “He was 16 when Grandma and Grandpa opened this place and he was a mainstay. My mother was also a staple here and made the pies for many years.”

When Doug started, he was 12; 48 years later he and his wife Patty own it. “We have stayed true to our roots,” Doug explains. “Grandpa believed that if you provide quality food at a reasonable price, and make sure that the customer didn’t leave hungry, they would be back. I’ve never lost focus of that.”

The decor

Walking into Schmucker’s can feel like traveling back in time. The same stools that were installed in 1948 still sit at the counter. “We are who we are and we want to stay true to that, so there has been minimal change over the years,” Doug explained. “And people love that. They come in and say, ‘I moved away 30 years ago, and I’m so glad that this is what I remember. It hasn’t changed at all.’”

A few small concessions have been made to modern sensibilities— a flat screen TV, a book rack selling modern tomes— are all that breaks the spell of being surrounded by old school

The fare

Don’t expect anything fancy on the menu, or come for culinary excitement— a visit to Schmucker’s delivers more like a hug. From breakfast offerings like a classic Sunrise Special (one egg, home fries, bacon and toast) to lunch and dinner fare, such as hamburgers or a classic Ribeye steak, the fare is mouth-watering, belly-filling, and never too expensive.

And then, there’s the pie— oh, the glorious pie— with a dizzying variety of fresh-made pies offered every day: Lemon Chiffon. Blackberry. Choco-

late Chip Pecan. Strawberry Banana.

OH-IO Buckeye Pie. Each flavor tantalizing. Every recipe a closely guarded secret.

“With today’s fast food and our fast lifestyles— to step back and get that warm, nostalgic feeling of the way that things can still be­— offers a good feeling full stomach,” Doug said.

How true.

Home 2018 Decorating Trends Flair is limitless

By Pat Nowak

Does your house need an update?

Are you getting ready to make a few changes? Before you do, consider this year’s new decorating trends.

Art

Accenting your color palette are vintage lighting fixtures in bronze and aged copper. Terra cotta is seen in tiles, home accents and vases while the glossy art tile designs, glass, and metal elements bring in stylish accompaniments. Stones again are the most popular and marble and granite continue their dominance.

Minimalist designs still are important and metal furniture creates a beautiful look especially when teamed with wood and upholstery fabrics— a look of simplicity that speaks volumes in its popularity. If you own oversized furniture, even in leather, don’t throw it out just yet as the trend is coming back.

Color

Space

People are embracing the open floor concept using fresher simple designs; wanting their homes to be timeless according to Jennifer Diehl from Design Classics in Holland. “People want to be connected to the kitchen so they are eliminating formal dining rooms in favor of informal dining space.”.

There are a multitude of 2018 color ideas. One trend suggests combining striking blue and fuchsia and using brown as the neutralizer. If blue is not your thing, blend green and brown but in softer hues so they literally melt together.

Stay away from using stark dark and light unless you are decorating in classic black and white. The freshest news is connectivity in color and when using the softer colors be sure to accent them with red, orange and yellow.

Kitchens are seeing the most change with color and look for sinks made with materials like stone, copper, concrete, and

granite. Linda Leganik from Cabinet Impressions in Maumee states “people in NW Ohio still prefer the natural products such as granite and the trend still continues to be sleek cabinets with simple doors.

White and grey seem to be the color of choice but wood is always in style.”

Vintage fixtures and light bulbs compliment contemporary designs famously.

Accents

Another accent is floral wallpaper. It is not the paper of old, boasting realistic color, easy to handle and clean, it looks great. Color sets the stage for everything else in design: the furniture you choose and the accents you invest in.

Pro-Tips

According to Kathy Prokup from Ethan Allen Furniture in Perrysburg, some tips to consider are: n Use smaller-scale furniture with ex-

posed legs which make a room look larger. Ottomans are so very versatile and can be used anywhere

n Black and white are a sure bet to never go out of style

and remain the best classic look.

n Hurricane Lamps can be used for so many different

occasions also and are very popular right now.

n You don’t have to throw everything away to be current;

Wood

just add pillows, faux fur for luxurious, luscious texture or something with shine or sparkle.

Are you ready to look at wood? Forecasters say natural wood in light colors is modern and dark wood continues to be a trend because it appears luxurious. Want to try something new?

n Not all wood pieces need to match in color. Mixing

Cork is another beautiful material; look for it on cabinet doors and floors.

n Every year brings an exciting fresh array of decorating

Cork options available on the market

20

things up a bit warms up a room and makes it feel homey.

n Area rugs are great to define a space.

Wallpaper makes a striking comeback with bold prints and vibrant color

ideas. You can use all of them or just a few to update what you currently have.
