Planting the Seeds of Good Health... for Generations! ½¶»»ºº ½¾ÇÄÅǶ¸É¾¸ º¶ÉÊÇºÈ Ç ¯¶¸½ ¶¼ºÇ I will never forget my first adjustment! As a young child my cousin, who is a Chiropractor, adjusted me for the first time and that was an experience that has since changed my life. I grew up in Canton, Ohio and during High School I was in a Health Tech Program that allowed me to explore many health care professions. Having been adjusted regualryly for many years made me realize Chiropractor was clearly the path for me. What intrigued me the most was the alternative approach to helping healthy people stay healthy and people in pain get well. I first graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Exercise Science then went onto Logan College of Chiropractic. At Logan I worked with several universities including the University of Missouri, Missouri Baptist University and Lindenwood University to provide chiropractic care to their athletes. Growing up I competed in basketball, baseball and football, so I have passion for working with athletes. In addition, I love working with a wide range of patients from young children to the elderly. It is truly amazing to see how the body can optimally function when it is provided with regular chiropractic adjustments. It is my goal to be able to provide the community with an alternative option to conservatively treat many conditions that impact your everyday lives.

have to say, as a recent college graduate and temoporarily living with my family once again, I cannot relate as readily to this theme of “homemakers” as I have to some of our other topics. I can, however, say that when I do have a household of my own to maintain, I will owe everything I have learned to my own amazing mother. With all three kids living under the same roof once again, life can get a little hectic for my mom. She still finds time to do the laundry, pack us lunches when we need it, and prepare a meal for us when we come home at the end of a long day. (She even finds time to be my own personal photographer for my editotial shoots.) Then she spends her evenings listening to us vent about our jobs and the latest drama at school. Being a stay-at-home mom is a full-time job! I can only hope those peaceful moments provide a little rest and rejuvenation when we’ve all gone off to work and school for the day. In this edition of HerSide we salute the hardworking women who take on double lives. They wash the dirty dishes, fold the laundry, prepare a fantastic meal and see the children off to school every day. They kiss booboos, wipe runny noses and tuck the little ones in to bed. In today’s economy, they may even be juggling a career. How does one find time for herself, when all she does is give for others? We’ve compiled an edition that focuses on the hardworking mom and how she can become the queen of her household. In this edition you will find articles on spring cleaning, tips for managing time as a family and finding time for yourself, health and beauty tips, recipes and much more. As the weather takes a turn for the better and the temperatures finally remain above freezing, everyone in northeast Ohio will be itching to get outside. Make plans to start your own garden or spruce up the landscape with some flowers and lawn décor. We reached out to local garden experts to share their expertise with you. Our spotlight showcases a local woman and mother of three children who decided to pursue her dream of owning her own business. Her career-driven attitude led her to create a business that focused on her love of animals, specifically her dogs. Learn how Stephanie Waniewski balances a career and a full house. Women around the globe are working to support their families. In some countries, a woman can only earn her place in society by working and providing an income for her family. World Crafts in Kidron, is working to secure a better life for families of developing countries. You will find crafts made of sustainable and the most unusual materials. When you purchase a

piece of jewelry, a scarf or a home décor item, you can take comfort in knowing that your purchase is benefiting someone in need. Learn more about Fair Trade on page 8. While I am not a mom myself, and I know that I will never truly understand until I experience those joys and discomforts firsthand, I can comfortably say that I have seen a hardworking mom in action. I hope to be a great mom like her one day and instill the same morals and values in my kids as she did for us. I know I won’t be living with my parents forever (and I am thankful that they were able to let me move back in after college) but I can’t help but soak up a little extra pampering from my mom while I’m here. Thank you mom!

Book Review

a true story of a young amish woman struggling to find her identity

6

Reviewed by Catie Noyes • Editor

Saloma Miller is an Amish woman struggling to find her identity in her home community of Burton, Ohio. No matter how hard she tries to fit in, Saloma finds herself pushing farther and farther away from her Amish life, but her obedience keeps her from parting at first. Keeping a secret stash of “Vermont Life” magazines, Saloma begins to fantasize about running away. Her home life is a struggle, dealing with an abusive father and brother. As a young woman in her twenties, she has a hard time being the submissive Amish woman that is expected of her. Until now, Saloma had only dreamed of seeing the pictures in her “Vermont Life” magazine come to life. She finds her escape with the help of a local “Yankee,” (Amish term for non-Amish used by this particular community) that she works for. When Saloma arrives in Vermont she seeks shelter at a YWCA in Burlington, where she quickly makes new friends. A couple of the women help her to become familiar with the area and she lands her dream job, waitressing at a Pizza Hut. She also meets a young woman, Barbara Lalancettes, who will become a true friend and companion as she struggles to find her way in this world. Saloma also meets David, a young man that will become her future husband even if she may resist him at first. Saloma finds a relationship in David she has never experienced before and grows to care for him deeply. Meanwhile, her Amish community is unsettled by Saloma’s abrupt leaving and feels they can still convince her to come home and repent with the church and the community. Saloma is not ready to leave and evades their first attempts to come and get her, but she is then guilted by letters from friends and family in the community. When her brother and sister return to Vermont with the Bishop, Saloma gives in and returns to the community.

Saloma tries her hardest to do right by her peers and God, and be a submissive Amish woman. Through all her attempts, she is still belittled by her community and begins to feel those feelings of not fitting in once again. Her Vermont life calls to her and she feels the pull of those who cared for her and accepted her there. Saloma must make a choice for good this time. This book gave a new insight into a stricter Amish community. My heart went out to Saloma as I followed her on her journey in finding herself. I felt her hurt, I felt her rage and I felt her happiness as she shared her story. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know the struggle of leaving an Amish community after becoming a part of the church.

pring is a time of year when many people resolve to give their homes or apartments a thorough cleaning. Spring cleaning projects help people revitalize their homes for the warm months ahead, when windows are once again opened, fresh air pervades homes and items that might have accumulated over a dark and dreary winter have become a distant memory. Many families have spring cleaning rituals that allow them to efficiently clean their homes in a single weekend. But it's just as important for spring cleaners to place as great an emphasis on the environment as they do on efficiency when cleaning a home. Ecofriendly spring cleaning practices produce less waste and rely on less chemicals to rejuvenate a home and get it ready for those seasons when huddling inside under the covers takes a backseat to lounging around the house as fresh air washes into the home. The following are a handful of ways to efficiently clean a home while also protecting the environment. * Clear out the clutter. Clutter is an enemy to homeowners and the environment alike. That's because addressing clutter is often an inefficient process in which homeowners methodically go through items that have accumulated over the years, individually choosing which items to keep and which items to discard. Clutter can also prove harmful to the environment because rooms filled with clutter tend to collect dust, reducing air quality and leading to more indoor air pollution that can prove harmful to human health. When sifting through clutter in a home, discard those items that have gone ignored for years, as they likely have little or no financial value and it's safe to assume they serve no practical purpose as well. Once clutter has been cleared out, prevent more of it from accumulating by making a conscious effort to discard items once they no longer serve any practical purpose.

This includes old newspapers and magazines, as well as any other items that are likely to sit in a pile or on a shelf for months on end. Preventing the buildup of clutter reduces the amount of time you need to spend spring cleaning next year while also improving indoor air quality. * Use cleaners only when windows are open. Many people get a head start on spring cleaning in late winter, when the weather might have started to warm up but has not yet warmed to the point when windows throughout the home can be opened. Though there's nothing wrong with starting early, avoid using cleaning products on days when you can't open the windows. Many cleaning products contain ample or even just trace amounts of chemicals that can compromise indoor air quality and may exacerbate existing medical conditions like respiratory ailments. When using cleaning products, try to do so only when the windows are open and fresh air can enter the home. * Ensure appliances are working at peak efficiency. Spring cleaning is a great time to inspect appliances to make sure they are operating efficiently. Clean or replace filters on window air conditioning units. Dusty or dirty filters will force the air conditioner to work harder and use more energy to cool a room. In addition, dirty or dusty filters make units less efficient, which means rooms won't cool as quickly on those scorching summer afternoons. Appliances forced to work harder also cost more money, and those costs can be considerable. When checking appliances, be sure to check the refrigerator as well. Refrigerators are plugged in all day long, and those that are not operating at peak efficiency can cost you a lot of money in the long run. Periodically clean the coils on the back of your refrigerator so it can operate more efficiently, saving energy and money. Vacuum cleaners should also be inspected before each use to make sure reels are not covered in hair, which can make it nearly impossible for the machine to collect dirt and dust from the floors. * Use reusable cloths. Another way to turn spring cleaning into a more eco-friendly affair is to forgo using paper towels in favor of reusable cloths. Reusable wash cloths can be just as effective at wiping down counters as paper towels, which require more and more trees to be cut down and eventually end up in landfills. If you are feeling especially eco-friendly, you can go the extra mile and create your own reusable cleaning cloths out of old clothes or linens, saving you money and making use of items that might otherwise have been headed straight for a landfill. Spring cleaning can rejuvenate a home after a long winter. Emphasizing eco-friendly techniques when cleaning can ensure your home's revival is as beneficial to the environment as it is to the home's inhabitants.

Fighting Global Poverty One craft at a time!

ne small craft store, found in Kidron, is making a difference in lives around the world. By supporting artisans in underprivileged countries, Lisa Zuercher and her many volunteers at World Crafts are working to provide a sustainable, global economic system and eradicate global poverty. “In a lot of cultures around the world, women are not valued,” said Zuercher, World Crafts manager. “If a woman is able to use her gift in creating beautiful works of art, it becomes valuable to her and she can contribute to her family. It gives her a sense of respect among her community.” World Crafts got its start in the 1980s as a part of the Orrville Gift and Thrift. In 1985, Lois Lehman began putting fair trade products in Lehman's Hardware and discovered they were selling pretty well. When Jay Lehman decided to build a large building behind the hardware store for other business ventures, Lois saw a storefront possibility for a store that focused on fair trade products. In 1990, World Crafts became one of the first storefronts in the building.

Fair Trade Fair Trade focuses on the hard work of talented people trying to make a living in underdeveloped and developing countries. It provides a sustainable way of life and supports the conservation of the environment. Zuercher recognizes the importance of Fair Trade products and the difference it can make in the lives of an individual struggling to make ends meet. "It's all about the people making the product," said Zuercher. "We're trying to help them to support their families." By supporting Fair Trade, World Crafts is providing good working conditions for artisans, no child labor and opportunities for increasing income. "We are looking for the people that only make one dollar a day and increasing that to two dollars a day," said Zuercher. This could potentially be the opportunity for a woman to send her child to school or purchase a chicken to supply their family with fresh eggs. Women who are disabled, widowed or divorced, and rural women who are landless, are often cast out by their communities. Fair Trade reaches out to these women and offers them the opportunity to earn money for a skill. Fair trade may also offer loans to families and even offer banking options for women to save money for their families. Lorene Amstutz, assistant manager said, young women in Bangladesh are sold and married off at the young age of 11 or 12. They have no choices over their life as they come from impoverished families. “If their mom were involved in a craft, the daughter would be needed to stay at home and learn the craft as well,â€? said Amstutz. Eventually the mother can earn enough money to send her daughter to school and eventually earn some money for herself and have more choices for her life. After visiting families in need, Fair Trade organizations reach out to underprivileged countries and show them how they can use resources to develop a craft, explained Amstutz. “Eventually they make enough money to feed their families and make their homes more livable.â€? Under Fair Trade policies, artisans have a market for their product. Fair wages are offered to both men and women (gender equality) and artisans don’t have to give up their cultural identity. You can see this cultural identity reected in the unique crafts that are sold in the store.

The Crafts: Artisans will use whatever resources are available to them such as recycled metal, paper, etc. This skill is often passed down from generation to generation and becomes a part of their culture. Some organizations are speciďŹ c with the type of craft they make while other groups (that have been around longer) may have more diverse crafts. A doctor in Columbia needed a second job to make ends meet. She saw orange peels on the side of the street and began thinking of ways to turn them into a craft. She eventually left her practice in order to start her co-op and hire workers to make Continued on next page

the ornaments. It took a lot of trial and error but her co-op became successful enough to support her and give her the opportunity to hire other workers. Beautiful, woven earrings, stone rings and egg shell ornaments are made from co-ops in Peru. Fashionable scarves come from India and home décor items like tea light holders, paper roses and lamps are from Bangladesh. A co-op in Uganda makes baskets and a special hat from the bark of a tree that grows locally. Once the bark is harvested, the tree is covered with banana leaves and fresh bark will grow back in three months. A co-op in Vietnam uses recycled paper, newspaper, old posters and other paper products to create unique bowls, vases, lamps and clocks. “Most Fair Trades crafts are made from sustainable materials. It’s all about preserving the earth versus destroying it,” said Zuercher. World Crafts has made it a goal to educate its customers on what Fair Trade is and the importance of supporting sustainability for underprivileged communities. "We want to educate people that they have purchasing power and the ability to make a difference in someone's life," said Zuercher. Amstutz loves to educate shoppers on the products. “I use it as a teaching tool,” she said. She points to the orange peel ornaments and asks, “What do you think that is made out of?” and “Can you imagine trying to make something like this out of an orange peel?” “Sometimes I just tell people about our products and how it is helping others, and I may not sell anything at all. But I am educating them on Fair Trade and that’s OK,” said Amstutz. “Americans have a lot of spending power. How often do we ask ourselves, do our purchases matter? If you make a Fair Trade purchase there is a certification that you are indeed making a difference,” said Zuercher. World Crafts is located at 13110 Emerson Road, Kidron. Store hours are Monday-Saturday from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Call 330-857-0590 for more information.

Enjoy homemade Italian on a weeknight! Whipping up a hearty homecooked meal on a weeknight can be difficult. Commitments to work and family limit the time many parents have to cook dinner each night, so an easily prepared meal like the following recipe for "Chicken Piccata" from the "Incredibly Easy Italian" cookbook (Publications International, Ltd.) is perfect for a busy, middle-of-the-week homemade meal. Serves 4 Ingredients: *3 tablespoons all-purpose flour *1/2 teaspoon salt *1/4 teaspoon black pepper *4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 ounces each) *1 tablespoon olive oil *1 tablespoon butter *2 cloves garlic, minced *3/4 cup chicken broth *1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice *2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley *1 tablespoon drained capers *Lemon slices and fresh parsley (optional) Directions: 1.

2. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap. Using flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin, pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Coat chicken with flour mixture, shaking off excess. 3. Heat oil and butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until butter is melted. Cook chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink in center. Transfer to serving platter and cover loosely with foil. 4. Add garlic to same skillet; cook and stir over medium heat 1 minute. Add reserved flour mixture; cook and stir 1 minute.

5RDVWHG 9HJHWDEOH )RFDFFLD 6DQGZLFK Ingredients: *1 medium eggplant *1 large zucchini *1 tablespoon olive oil *2 garlic cloves, pressed *Salt and coarsely ground black pepper *2 balls fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced *1 medium tomato, sliced *1 loaf focaccia bread, about 12 ounces *1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise *1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves

Serves 4 Ingredients: *1 pound ground beef or ground sirloin *1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce *1/2 teaspoon each of salt and freshly ground black pepper *4 thick-seeded buns or Kaiser rolls “Fixins” *4 tablespoons mayonnaise *4 pieces crisp iceberg lettuce *4 thin beefsteak tomato slices *16 pickle slices or peppadew peppers *4 paper-thin slices red onion *Yellow mustard and ketchup *French fries, to serve

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Cut eggplant and zucchini crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine eggplant zucchini and oil in a mixing bowl. Press garlic into mixing bowl using a garlic press; toss to coat. Season with salt and black pepper. 2. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on a stoneware pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender and deep golden brown. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. 3. Meanwhile, cut mozzarella and tomato into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut bread in half horizontally. Spread mayonnaise on cut surfaces. 4. To assemble sandwich, arrange basil leaves, vegetables, tomato slices and mozzarella slices over bottom half of bread.

Squirt some ketchup on each and top with the tomatoes, pickle and onions. Top with the other side of the bun. Serve with french fries.

he days when single income households were the norm are long gone, as nowadays both Mom and Dad must work in order to make ends meet. That reality has left many women juggling the obligations of motherhood with the obligations of a successful career. Such a juggling act is seldom easy, and many mothers find themselves neglecting one obligation for the benefit of another. The following are a few tips to make balancing work and family a little easier. * Share the responsibilities. While the days of the single-income household may be a thing of the past, many of the conventions of those days remain. Women may still feel the responsibility to cook family meals, clean up after the children and make it to all of their children's sporting events or other school-related events. But those responsibilities should be shared so women can ensure they're giving both their careers and families the attention each deserves. Devise a schedule where both parents tackle such responsibilities equally so each parent knows when they have some wiggle room. For example, if your husband routinely cooks on Tuesdays, then you know you won't need to rush home on Tuesday night and you might be able to stay at the office a little later to work on a project or catch up on work. Such sharing and scheduling can considerably reduce the stress of juggling a family and a career. * Exercise daily. Juggling a family and a career is often stressful, and stress can have a very adverse effect on your health. Women with high stress levels are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and cardiovascular disease. But the American Psychological Association

notes the positive impact of exercise as a means to alleviating stress, citing studies that have shown that physically active people have lower rates of anxiety and depression than people who are sedentary. It's easy to become irritable when stressed, and no mother wants to be irritable in the presence of her children. Incorporating exercise into your daily routine is a great way to alleviate the stress of juggling a family and a career, and you can even incorporate your family into your exercise routine, going for nightly walks after dinner or playing with your children in the yard. * Stay involved with your child's school. Many mothers find staying active with their children's school is a great opportunity for them to bond with their kids and keep abreast of developments at their school. Such involvement can be minimal, such as attending a monthly luncheon with kids or agreeing to be a chaperone on one or two class trips per year. Such events are typically scheduled months in advance, so you should have ample time to arrange a break from the office without neglecting your professional responsibilities. * Take advantage of work-from-home policies.

As technology has advanced, many companies have become much more lenient with regard to employees

working from home. If your company allows you to work from home, even if it's only once per week, then take advantage of that offer. This can provide more time with your kids, it will likely save you money on childcare, and you are certain to appreciate the opportunity to skip your daily commute, even if it is only once a week or a couple of times per month. * Plan ahead. Looking ahead is another way to make juggling a family and a career easier. Plan meals in advance to cut down on preparation time when it's your night to cook. This can involve placing foods in a slow cooker in the morning or preparing part of the meal in advance so it's ready to go in the oven the moment you arrive home.

Another way to plan ahead is to look at kids' school schedules and plan trips during the school year when school won't be in session. A three-day weekend is a perfect opportunity to plan a getaway to a nearby locale where the whole family can relax and reconnect without the pressures of daily life. Juggling a family and career is not always easy, but there are ways that today's mothers can raise a happy family and still have a successful career.

Simple Solutions for Life • Sticky notes are wonderful! If you have a loved one who could use a pick-me-up, write your sentiments on a sticky note and place it on the bathroom mirror. Even a note in their car could mean the difference between a so-so start to their day or a bright start! Write on! • A crumbled and reopened piece of waxed paper will stay on top of a dish you are microwaving much better than just laying a flat piece on the top. An extra bonus is that the wrinkles will allow the waxed paper to vent the dish. • Starting seeds? A bit of dryer lint in the bottom of each cell keeps soil from washing away. • Dryer lint is a popular material for birds to add into their nesting material. Bits of yarn or small strips of fabric are great too. Place them in a mesh bag leftover from onions or potatoes and place outside or just leave them near a bush where they will blow around and catch the eyes of the birds. • When preparing to water your indoor plants, it’s a good idea to allow the container of water to stand for several hours or overnight so the chlorine will evaporate. Your plants will thank you! • Here is an idea that has worked for me over many years: I keep a watering can on both my front and back porches. When the can is full, the spout is pointed away from my house, when empty, the spout is pointed toward the house. This helps me to remember to fill the watering cans when I am outside doing my regular watering. Now, picture this, I am rushing out the door for work when I notice a planter needs a drink. With a full watering can, I am able to water the planter and save the parched plant or at least allow it less stress until I can get back to give it a thorough watering!

Making the Most of Your Outdoor Room Preparing a gourmet meal, soaking in the tub, catching the latest movie release on DVD, warming yourself by the fire, entertaining friends or family, enjoying an afternoon nap, reading your favorite magazine, listening to music... any or all of these would make someone's list of favorite leisure activities. They all have something else in common as well: this year each and every one of these activities could be enjoyed outdoors on your deck or patio. At Runions' Furniture and Roomscapes, we maintain that there's an extra room on your property hiding in plain site- one without walls or windows. It's the outdoor area accessible from your back door, and in the months ahead there's no better place to forget the long harsh winter we've all been through. Fortunately, there have never been more options to help you enjoy outdoor living to the fullest. We've covered many of them before in this space, but this year our attention has turned to the outdoor kitchen. How many times have we heard the kitchen described as the "heart" of the home? Indoors, it's where everyone seems to gather- to share time together, to plan and prepare a meal, to linger in conversation. What better activities to enjoy outdoors as well, especially in warm weather when the heat of cooking isn't particularly welcome inside. If you're new to the idea of outdoor kitchens, prepare for your jaw to drop...the old Weber kettle many of us grew up with has been joined by a sophisticated galaxy of outdoor kitchen appliances from refrigerators to cook-tops, ceramic charcoal grills, smokers, and infrared cookers- all designed to make the fun of cooking outdoors accessible to the gourmet chef and the reluctant cook alike. Outdoor kitchen designs incorporate counter surfaces, seating or bar areas, pergolas for shade, outdoor TV's for catching the ball game, and even fire-pits for stretching the outdoor season into the cooler evenings in spring and fall. Outdoor refrigerators and storage drawers bring everything you need within reach. Your outdoor cooking method of choice- gas grill, charcoal, or wood-fired oven-can be incorporated into the design of your outdoor kitchen. (Here's an aside- if you grill with gas, the recent winter spike in propane prices serves as a reminder that there may be no better time to have natural gas piped directly

to your outdoor grill. If you use natural gas inside your home, you already know that prices have been falling on this fuel source as extraction methods for gas expand in Ohio and elsewhere. That's not likely to change soon, but what could change is no more rushing to the grill bottle exchange station because the tank's empty and the guests are hungry! ) To start planning your outdoor kitchen area, start with the foundation. Most code-compliant wood or woodalternative decks are adequate to support an outdoor kitchen setup, even sizeable layouts incorporating stone facing and several appliances. If your surface is uneven, like a stone patio, you may wish to start with a cement pad poured as a base for the kitchen. Consider access to electric, gas, and/or water if these will be connected to your kitchen. Many kitchens are designed so that they can plug into a heavy duty extension cord running from your GFCI-protected outdoor electric outlet. Finally, you'll want to consider prevailing wind direction in order to locate your kitchen downwind from seating areas or the house entrance. If you're planning landscape changes as well, a landscape architect or garden center can advise how nearby plants may be affected by outdoor cooking. Increasingly, landscape designers are being asked to include outdoor kitchen designs into their projects, so this season Runions' Furniture made the decision to enter the outdoor kitchen market. The custom outdoor kitchens we offer are factory built to your specs, so they do have the advantage of being portable, even if they look like they're not. If you move, your outdoor kitchen can even follow you! And that's good, because we think you'll soon find your new outdoor room your favorite place to be. Decorating or design questions about your home's interior (or exterior!) living areas can be directed to "info@runionsfurniture.com" All questions will receive an individual response, and selected responses may be reprinted in future editions of Homefront.

I want to keep my family heart healthy. What can we do with our diet to help?

Lots! Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It makes sense to follow a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, and make healthy lifestyle choices to reduce the risk of heart disease. There are many great plans for heart health. All have core ideas in common: • Eat a diet rich in vegetables and fruits • Choose whole grain, high fiber foods • Limit saturated fats • Minimize foods and beverages with added sugars • Decrease added salt • If you drink alcohol do so in moderation. • Control and reduce stress.

slice with the bread you use now for sandwiches. • Choose lean cuts of meat and remove visible fat or skin from meat or poultry before cooking. Use lower fat dairy products. • Limit foods and beverages high in sugar including regular sodas, fruit punches, sweetened tea, coffee drinks, jelly, cookies, cake and candy. • Limit processed meats like bacon, sausage, hotdogs, and frozen and prepared dinners - choose reduced salt versions. Rinse canned beans before cooking and limit the amount of salty condiments like ketchup and soy sauce.

• Make half your daily intake vegetables. Use them as a side dish or chop them into sauces. Try a new recipe and make a goal to eat more than one color a day. Include fruit at every meal.

• Move more! Decrease time spent watching TV, sitting at a computer or video game. Incorporate movement into everyday activities by taking the stairs, parking away from the door and making multiple trips for groceries or laundry. Increase exercise gradually and build up to 30 minutes or more on most days of the week – 60 minutes for children.

• Choose whole grains whenever possible – in bread, brown rice, or oatmeal. Not sure about whole grain bread? Try one

Heart healthy living is good for the entire family, all the time. We have one heart- let’s feed it right!

These ideas can be easily practiced with a few practical tips and guidelines:

@=C Can iron alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome? Irritability, bloating, pain, and depression are all side effects of premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. PMS can be a minor annoyance for some but debilitating to others. Diet can play a role in the severity of PMS symptoms. A study conducted at the University of Massachusetts Amherst published in the American Journal of Epidemiology links a diet rich in iron and zinc with reduced symptoms of PMS. Women whose diets were full of plant-based iron were onethird less likely to develop symptoms of PMS than women who consumed less iron. Nonmeat sources of iron include dried beans and green, leafy vegetables like spinach and kale. The study found women who consumed the most iron had up to a 40 percent lower risk for PMS than other studied groups. And women who consumed 10 milligrams of zinc per day were found to have a lower risk of developing symptoms of PMS as well.

Researchers are not sure why iron and zinc play such a critical role in PMS symptom reduction, but some suggest that it has to do with serotonin production. Iron is involved in serotonin production, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and appetite. Low serotonin levels play a role in clinical depression, and other studies have previously linked low serotonin levels to PMS symptoms. Women should know that supplementing a diet with high doses of zinc and iron is unadvisable, as these minerals could cause serious health problems if taken above the recommended levels. Zinc and iron obtained from natural food sources is recommended over oral supplements that supply zinc and iron. There are other natural remedies that could help with PMS treatment and prevention. Increasing calcium and magnesium intake can help as both nutrients can relax muscles and alleviate cramping. Using evening primrose oil, which contains gamma linoleic acid, can reduce inammation that may cause cramps and breast tenderness. Although many women refrain from exercise when battling PMS, such activity actually may help ease PMS symptoms. Aerobic or cardio exercise reduces stress, boosts circulation, releases endorphins, and has been shown to reduce the uncomfortable symptoms of PMS. A well-balanced diet and exercise are two ways women might be able to relieve symptoms of PMS. Keep in mind that severe PMS is not typical and any emotional or physical symptoms that seem abnormal should be addressed by a gynecologist or family doctor.

t’s been an exceptionally cold winter this year and everyone has been itching to get out. We’ve been teased with short-lived warm snaps but once the weather turns for good, people everywhere will be flocking to the outdoors. Signs of spring are present in the local greenhouses as flowers begin to blossom and vegetables begin to sprout from their plastic containers. These small, but promising signs of spring make you want to start flowerbeds and vegetable gardens of your own. But gardening has grown to encompass so much more than just flowers and vegetables. “Vegetable and herb gardening is going to be very popular this year,” predicted Marty Feliciano of The Greenhouse Shoppe in Wooster. Vegetables like tomatoes and peppers are top sellers at the Mt. Eaton Greenhouse and herb gardening can be done just about anywhere. The “Home Grown Movement” began around 2008 and 2009 when the economy first began to go down, explained an Amish woman from Mt. Eaton Greenhouse who wished to remain anonymous. “With food prices going up people want to cut costs by growing their own food and they want to feel confident knowing where their food is coming from,” said Marty. When planning your garden plots, “always put down some type of fertilizer, whether it is a flower or vegetable garden because the plants will soak up the nutrients in the soil,” explained Marty. Marty suggests any type of organic fertilizer and compost options for your garden. Using compost instead of mulches will keep the soil loose for next year’s garden and it returns essential nutrients to the soil. Mt. Eaton Greenhouse suggests using a timerelease fertilizer that can be put directly into the hole with the seed. Once your plants are in the ground and happily germinating and growing, keep an eye out for pesky bugs that could get into your vegetables. Keep the weeds down to ensure maximum growing potential. Mt. Eaton Greenhouse suggests that geraniums, petunias and begonias will be the most sought after flowers. These flowers come in a variety of colors and are hearty plants that can be grown in just about any condition. “Begonias and petunias are good with a lot of sun and give you instant color.

Gardening Sponsors and sweet potato vine to give it texture,” said Donna Feliciano, of The Greenhouse Shoppe. Flowers can be planted in hanging baskets and large clay pots with a variety of flowers. These “container gardens” can be easily moved from place to place and can even hold vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. “People are making their own little oasis’ and places to go in their own backyards,” said Donna. “Everyone needs a place to escape.” Accent fountains of all shapes and sizes can give your little garden that touch of serenity. Picture yourself sitting on a bench, listening to the bubbling of your garden fountain, surrounded by your favorite flowers and reading a good book on a warm spring afternoon. “Rustic pieces are all the rage,” explained the Amish woman of Mt. Eaton Greenhouse. Pottery and gazing balls, along with birdbaths and old benches are all typical landscaping additions that give your garden that sense of wonder and elegance. “Regardless of your space, you can have some type of garden,” said Marty. Vegetables can easily be planted in pots and flower boxes if you don’t have access to space for a large garden. Fairy gardens and miniature gardens have been on the rise for the past couple of years and allow for gardening indoors and outdoors. Deborah Singer of Deborah’s Garden Market in Wooster, specializes in repurposing items for small gardens. Fashioning a small garden of succulents and moss, she turned an old sewing box into a miniature garden complete with clay gnome statues. Succulents are perfect for indoor planting and can be incorporated into just about any small garden - they even grow well in wine corks and can be used as gifts. Terrariums are perfect for kids to help out with. They can theme it with their favorite animals or action hero toys as they go on adventures. They can also learn to take care of the plants and develop responsibilities caring for their imaginary worlds. “I love working with nature,” said Deborah. “Upcycling and re-purposing are very big this year.” Plants can be planted in just about anything that will hold a little dirt and water. Gardening can be therapeutic as you get on your hands and knees and work the earth. Anyone can have some type of garden no matter how big or small of a space is at your disposal.

It’s just another day in the Waniewski household as Stephanie; her three children - Cora, Ashton & Grayson; four dogs - Panda Bear, Lola, Mooey & Cheech; and rabbit, Izzy; pile in bed to start the day. Story by Emily Roebuck • HerSide Contributor Photos by Catie Noyes • Editor

:

hen Stephanie Wasniewski sees a problem in the world she does everything she can to solve it, and reaches out to people in the community who are facing the same struggles and issues. Stephanie's husband Darrin had gone back to school to focus on getting his MBA and Stephanie was a stay-athome mom when the idea to start a natural pet market first came to her. At the time, she had been researching treatment options for their dog Cheech, who had been having health problems. “Charlie (who also goes by Cheech) had allergies,” Stephanie remembered. “I had left a job in finance at the hospital and was at home with the kids. Once Darrin was finished with school I was realizing more and more that I wanted to be working again. Through everything that happened with Charlie, I learned about holistic and natural pet products. I knew that there was a need for that in this area.”

dogs piled in the Wasniewski's bedroom, (most often on the bed) especially on a Saturday morning. “I like to take time to check my emails and do a little planning and research each morning to start my business day at home before the store opens,” said Stephanie. The decision to stay at home was one that Stephanie struggled with, after realizing that she had a strong desire to be active in a career where she could serve the community.

-Stephanie Wasniewski

Stephanie, who is also a mother of three, brought the idea for the store, Lola, Cheech & Mooey's Natural Pet Market, to life in November of 2012. “Having our own business was something that we had always envisioned and we knew it would be a legacy to our kids and a way to give back to the community,” said Stephanie. One thing she has been challenged by in starting a new business, is the constant need to create and execute new ideas and keep the excitement up. Recently, Stephanie attended the 2014 Spirit of Women in Business Conference at Kent State University. The event allowed her to meet with other women who are business owners and hear some of the amazing stories of their successes. “It was so great to refocus and be reminded of how important networking, mentoring and connecting with each other is for women as entrepreneurs,” Stephanie said. On most mornings, the first goal is to get breakfast made for the kids and the dogs. Grabbing a cup or two of coffee, the kitchen is the place where Stephanie and the family start their day. There are usually kids and

“I have always loved working and while I love being with the kids, I just knew something was missing. I wasn't fully enjoying what I was doing and I wasn't happy. I knew how important it was for myself and for my family that I be doing something that I love,” Stephanie remembered. Stephanie also works with local veterinary clinics in the area through her store. When a pet owner sees the vet there are many non-invasive treatment options, such as diet changes, that can help a pet with health issues. The veterinarian will send patients to the store and Stephanie and Darrin can then help guide them through what their options are and put a plan in place to help get their pet back in good health. A local therapy dog named Sherman came through Stephanie's doors, struggling with weight, allergies and other health issues. The transformation he has gone through with non-invasive treatment has been amazing. The biggest reward for Stephanie, is knowing that Sherman can now bring joy to the lives of people who are in the hospital. Sherman is helping others to heal thanks to a health plan and a new diet, coordinated by his vet and Lola, Cheech & Mooey's. “My whole life I have been drawn to animals,” said Stephanie. “My parents were always encouraging and Continued on next page

understanding when I would bring home the dog with three legs or the sick kitten that I had found and wanted to nurse back to health.” The “Barkery” is part of the pet pampering at Lola, Cheech & Mooey's and all of the products made from scratch are conceived and produced by Stephanie. With a background in natural, holistic foods and experience in artisan bread making she has taken her talents to the pet world. Treats, doggy cupcakes and other products have been showered on lucky pets by their pet parents. This year Stephanie plans to bring new products out for the Easter season (such as carob bunnies) and pet owners can pick and choose treats to make up an Easter basket for their pup. There are also cakes available to order for pet birthdays. “In everything we do we make sure each service and product is the best it can possibly be,” Stephanie said. “What we put on the market is safe and healthy because we have done the research to back it up.” This year there are plans to expand into the raw foods arena. More pet owners and experts will be brought on board to help educate the customer base on different feeding options. In the long term plan for Lola, Cheech & Mooey's, Stephanie hopes to one day have a location for a positive reinforcement training and behavioral center for pets in conjunction with the retail store, which is located at 133 North Vine Street in Orrville. Information and updates on their monthly events can be found via social media, at www.YourNaturalPetMarket.com or by calling 330-682-6820. Every second Saturday the store holds a celebration for a specific pet organization they are partnering with that month. All proceeds brought in from the self pet wash and the $5 nail trims on different days are donated to help animals in need. Partners include: Mercy's Door Pet Rescue, Caring Therapy K-9s, Ohio Greyhound Gathering & Adoption, Give Pets A Chance, Wolfspirits Toy Breed, Star Mar Rescue, Wayne County Humane Society and Hand Me Down Dobes. Each Ohio-based rescue organization is registered with the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Every third Saturday of the month, pets and pet parents can be part of the birthday party hosted by the store for any pet celebrating that month. “We know that there are other options for pets and their owners,” said Stephanie. “The last thing we want is to have a pet owner who has to put their pet on medication for the rest of their life when a change in diet or habits could do the same thing. I have so much respect for these animals and want that to carry over into the quality of life they have.” The lasting legacy that Stephanie and her husband Darrin hope to leave for their children is servantship to the community and a strong spirit and drive to work hard, which was instilled in Stephanie by her mother, who worked and had a career outside the home. “Our kids know that our time cannot always be focused completely on them,” Stephanie added. “My mom was employed and as kids, my sister and I used that as a lesson. We saw that she worked hard for everything we had and it also helped us to grow up and be more independent. The best lesson we can teach our kids is that if they see a problem in the world around them, no matter what it is, they can be the ones to solve it. We want them to ask, why not me?”

Change these Bad Beauty Habits

/

ooking good and feeling healthy are top priorities for many women. In addition to spending hours researching the latest beauty regimens and spending thousands on products that promise everything from turning back the hands of time to making hair thicker and more resilient, women could be engaging in a few habits that may be doing more harm than good. As cosmetic procedures and beauty trends are passed down from generation to generation, some women may be unsure what is best for them and which habits need tweaking. According to a recent survey from YouBeauty.com, a majority of women say they spend anywhere from $5 to $15 per month on beauty products, not including skincare products. But are those efforts fruitful? Here are some common beauty faux pas that women likely want to avoid. * Scrubbing skin: Dermatologists say the skin naturally sheds dead cells, so for most people it is unnecessary to use harsh exfoliants or scouring pads to rid the skin of dead cells. In fact, exfoliating the skin too much can cause irritation and excess dryness over time. Try to exfoliate your face and body no more than twice a week, advises the American Board of Dermatology. Even those with oily skin should scale back, as exfoliating too frequently can actually cause oil glands to produce more oil. Use an easy hand when exfoliating to avoid redness. * Popping pimples: Both women and men are guilty of popping pimples. It can be quite difďŹ cult to resist popping a pimple that has sprouted in the middle of your face, but doing so can cause irritation and spread

bacteria, and you may end up getting more blemishes as a result. If you cannot resist popping the pimple, cleanse the area ďŹ rst, use a warm cloth or steam to help bring the blemish to a head and use tissue-covered ďŹ ngers to apply gentle pressure. Then use an antibacterial cleanser to clean the area again. * Wrapping wet hair in a towel turban: Gathering wet locks together and twisting them into a towel is a recipe for damage and breakage. Wet hair is more delicate than dry hair, and it can stretch or break more easily. Gently squeeze hair dry with the towel and then use a detangling spray to make it easier to comb out knots. Putting hair too tightly in elastics and wearing them for long periods of time can result in thinning of the hair or a condition known as traction alopecia over time. * Failing to clean makeup tools: All of those brushes, wands and applicators need to be routinely washed with a mild cleanser and allowed to air dry. Otherwise, they become harbingers of bacteria and even mold. You can risk infection if you are using a dirty brush near the eyes or nasal passages. Aim to wash cosmetic tools at least once a week if you wear makeup every day. * Layering products: You may have a relative beauty arsenal tucked into your medicine cabinet, but while these products may work well on their own, there is no way to know how they will interact. Less is more when using different beauty serums. Experiment with each item separately to gauge skin reaction and if an allergy is present. * Poor washing habits: Some women fall into bed at night without washing makeup from their faces. While this is alright once in a while, it may lead to irritation or blemishes over time. Surprisingly, too much washing of the face can be just as bad, especially if you are soaping up in the morning as well. You could be stripping your face of helpful oils at the start of the day, when skin needs added protection from the elements. Stick to washing your face at night so it can naturally restore itself while you sleep. Looking good requires effort, but some beauty habits popular among women might be doing more harm than good.
