Being a hero means being brave and being YOU Farah Jadran
I
n all our life journeys, we have discovered heroes - people who inspire us to be better or to work harder. These are people who have paved the way for us to have new opportunities, freedoms and experiences. Reflecting on this month’s tribute to heroes, I started to think about personal experiences and conversations with others about moments in their lives where they “wished they were stronger,” or wanted to go back in time. We cannot go back and get “do overs,” but we can go forward and strive to be stronger. Aside from that, it’s about being yourself. It’s about loving who you are in every sense of the term. I am going to share a few (although there were many) disturbing instances I experienced when I was teenager. I only repeat the circumstances and the words used to help anyone reading understand what happened. Many of you know I am a long-time runner. I have been on many teams and in clubs for both cross country and track. While on one team in particular, six girls would regularly use racist language toward me. On hot summer running days, we would run in shorts and sports bras, but some girls would wrap their T-shirts on their heads and yell at me - telling me they were “being Arabs.” After a long run, we would all be sweaty - there’s nothing unusual about that. However, some of the girls would jump out of our team van and say the following, “I’m so sweaty, I feel like a dirty Mexican.” Others would say, “We piled into that van like a bunch of Mexicans.”

I will never understand if this was meant to make fun of my heritage, make me feel inferior or scare me into being less of a talented runner God made me to be. Regardless, I pressed on and personally felt I was and continue to be the person I was meant to be and I am proud of where I came from. I love who I am. I would not change a thing. I am proud to be a representation of my beautiful parents and to share my culture with others. I remember those aforementioned instances because they’re simply things that happened so often, they don’t go away, but I don’t let them overtake me or define me. Like my Mama always says to me, stand up for yourself and pray for those who cannot and who spend time putting others down. We can all be heroes in our own rights - even if it means we are just heroes for ourselves as we work to become stronger, smarter and more kind. None of us is perfect and we never will be, but we can celebrate what makes us special and share it with others. Kindness can change someone’s heart. It can help others realize there is a world around them and more to life than possessions and petty arguments. Kindness can be the message you wear and walk with because you choose to live life with genuine gratitude for each day you are given. Tomorrow is not promised. Why not spend today being kind and being positive? SWM Farah Jadran is the anchor of CBS5 This Morning and CBS5 News at Noon for CNYCentral in Syracuse.

MOMSENSE
In honor of our classroom heroes By Jennifer Wing
W
e’ve seen the stories, rife with accolades about our frontline healthcare workers, first responders and even retail store workers, all of whom have made it possible for our communities to survive in this uncertain time. Those accolades, of course, are well-deserved. But I’d like to discuss other heroes, the ones who lift up our children on a day-to-day basis, putting them first despite a myriad of challenges this year has presented: the special people who work in our local school districts. And I don’t only mean teachers, either, although that’s a great place to start. Imagine this: You are tasked with keeping children engaged, interested and up-to-date in all of the most recent, department of education-approved curricula - tailored to fit the ages of students you are teaching, the subject matter and currently-accepted teaching methods and criteria. Then add to that the need to have such a task be accomplished not only in a traditional, inperson setting, but also online, with all of the variables and challenges that can bring. It’s fairly mind-boggling that these teachers are able accomplish this, and yet they do so on a dayto-day basis. And I’ve heard from fellow parents that many of these “humble heroes” also are checking in, informing them when their child is stumbling and guiding them with practical solutions to help them stay the course. (no pun intended.) It’s obvious that, for these professionals, it’s more than “just a job.” In addition, teacher’s aides are the staff members that are often hands-on with students who are struggling - often with kids with developmental disabilities who have difficulties with changes in routine and may have difficulty with concepts like social distancing and masks. They are definitely some of the unsung heroes. School administrators and boards of education have been advocates for the students in their buildings and districts - championing them in many ways, both small and huge. School counselors have kept the students’ wellbeing a priority - ready and willing to help them with problems - both academic and personal - and guide them along their K-12 education and beyond. I have had some experience with this myself, as my son, a senior at Fayetteville-Manlius, has had to go through the college application process in a very new way. His counselor made himself available via email as well as through Zoom calls with my son, my husband and me to answer questions. This is obviously someone who truly cares about a student’s future success. Along with these amazing school staff members, there are other true heroes in and around our schools that are pivotal in keeping our children successful in so many ways. School nurses and attendance employees have had to figure out ways to keep students and staff safe and in school whenever possible with ever-changing guidelines and restrictions. Early in the pandemic, cafeteria supervisors and employees helped distribute food to children who relied upon those nutritious meals. These caring individuals have made and continue to make all the difference throughout the pandemic. School bus drivers have masked up and made sure that the students on their routes make it to school safely. This important routine lends a touch of normalcy for the children in an anythingbut-normal time. The maintenance staff have kept the schools safe and welcoming for our children while easing the worries of parents. Coaches have stepped up and answered the call, taking time and care to follow the regulations imposed due to COVID-19 while, as always, instilling school pride and a spirit of competition, good sportsmanship and camaraderie so key in a child’s development. These coaches, even before the start of their respective seasons, have kept athletes informed of what is to come, and kept them hopeful and optimistic that they will play. To me, that optimism is so important, so crucial, since so many of our children have had to face disappointments this past year. My son is about to play football during early spring, an unheard-of time of year for the sport, with rules and regulations in place that we would never have expected. But he will play. He will step onto that field during this, his last season at F-M. He will have that experience, create that memory. And I am grateful to all of the heroes in our schools for making such moments possible. Jennifer Wing is the managing editor of Eagle News. March 2021

SPECIAL SECTION: SPRING FASHION
A sunny outlook for our 2021 Fashion Forecast Angela Antonello
T
his time last year, no one could have predicted tie-dye sweatsuits would become a uniform for many, as working from home became the new way of life. While I enjoyed my tie-dye sweatsuits as much as the next gal, it’s safe to say 2020 was kind of a wash in terms of fashion. Many of the earmarked trends fell by the wayside in favor of function and comfort and we can expect more of that in 2021. No one wants to wear anything constricting anymore. After many months of pandemic living in our sweatpants and daytime pajamas there’s a collective move to a more generous silhouette — whether it’s wide-leg pants or an oversized blazer, comfort and function but in a new form are here to stay. One staple piece in every women’s wardrobe should be a pair of wide leg trousers. Wide-leg pants are so versatile and perfect for sitting if you have multiple zoom meetings a day. They are available in many styles — from knit, to denim and even vintage. For a more pulled together look, I suggest pairing wide-leg pants with an "on trend" second-skin top. Second-skin tops are essentially any top that grazes so close to your body, it might as well be a second layer of skin. While that might sound rather scary to some, the tops themselves are very comfortable, you'll forget all about the trend name. They are relevant across every season, are easy to wear, layer, and style, and come in so many variations and price points you are destined to find one to fit your style. After a long however-many-months in quarantine, the last thing you will want to do come springtime is wear head-to-toe black. Luckily, that is not in the fashion forecast thanks to a variety of bold hues spotted on the runway. From sunny yellows to pretty pinks and striking silvers, Spring 2021 will be happy and bright. Pantone announced that it had chosen two colors of the year for 2021: Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, a combination of dull, familiar gray and the bright yellow of lemon skin. This lends to say there is truly light at the end of the tunnel! Although accessories took a back burner in 2020, they have always been a great way to update your look for the new year. Waist up dressing is having a revival in the Zoom age and that’s a boon for jewelry lovers. Videoconferencing - not to mention the masks we’re all wearing - has inspired designers to create a sort of halo effect. In 2021 you will see certain statement pieces making a big comeback, and one of those is the large, chunky chain. Chokers were the length of choice and silver links will be seen everywhere. For many seasons yellow gold has been the metal of choice, but for Spring/Summer 2021, designers are on a silver streak. From oversized chain-links to thick cuff bracelets, fashion houses like Louis Vuitton and Hermès, prove that silver is a sterling choice. Along with silver, pearls will still be trending, but say goodbye to your classic strand and trade it in for more unique, freshwater shapes. Also on the rise are lab-grown diamonds, easy on your bank account yet just as beautiful as the real thing. Last but not least, beautiful beads will be everywhere, from thin, flat and neutral to big, bold and round. That’s right, folks - they’re bringing arm candy back. On that note, although most of us embark on fewer outings these days, the need to schlep around our belongings remains. Whether we're carrying groceries, a variety of PPE, or essentials for a quick weekend getaway, women are still very much relying on our handbags. The palette pleaser this season is yellow. Yellow bags have taken over the runways and the streets. This trend is easy to replicate and it is timeless – choose a small clutch to spice up an outfit or find a mustard tote for your daily needs. There are so many shades to choose from that suit your taste, and they look incredible when paired with other vibrant hues or a monochromatic ensemble. Many designers anticipate that in 2021 we will want to have more fun with our outfits and project a sunny outlook, whether that's via a rainbow print or wearing the most fabulous dress imaginable. Let’s make 2021 the year to enjoy clothes again! SWM

n Syracuse, the winter months are long and dreary. What doesn’t help that? Throw a pandemic, remote work and remote learning into the mix! As March approaches, it’s safe to say we are ready for spring, to renew and refresh. This spring with venues reopening, there is no better time to trade in the sweatpants and get some fresh, bold colors to brighten up your wardrobe. Spring fashion is always a favorite for many as it takes us into new looks and bright color. This Spring 2021 there are two major pantone colors of the year “illuminating” a yellow hue and “ultimate gray” a classic grey which can be paired with many different color combinations such as yellow and navy or grey and mint but the possibilities are endless. Of course, working from home may not give you that confidence boost to jump out of your pajamas into a cute spring outfit but let’s make it easy for you because when you look good, you feel look good and feeling good can help your productivity. Grab your favorite crew neck t-shirt perhaps yellow paired with a stretchy denim jean and a floral or solid colored cardigan. Cardigans are always a great transitional piece especially from winter to spring in Central New York - and they are comfy! Cardigans are truly a staple piece in a woman’s wardrobe, they give the finishing touch to every outfit! Not into this look? A couple other "on trend" looks this spring will be the flowy floor length bold print maxi dresses inspired by the 1970s. They are a comfortable and fashionable look and require no overthinking. Or you can always go with the matching sweat suit outfit. Tie dye is huge this year with some studded earrings! When working from home these go-to outfits are a great choice. Heading into the office? The latest trend is the loose-fitting pant. Dig into your closest and grab your flare or wide leg bottoms because ladies they are back! Pair a floral or polka dot top. Don’t be afraid to mix colors or patterns. It’s in and it’s trending. The bolder the better! Looking to keep it simple? No problem. Grab a pair of colored crop pants (always a great easy go-to) with a short sleeve top preferably a print to offset your solid pant, throw on a statement necklace and don’t forget to add that black blazer, it’s a must-have piece that can spice up your whole attire to that stylish business chic look. This spring is a time to dress up and show up. Whether you are stuck at home or heading into the office, it’s time to boost your self esteem with some bold colors in your world - or shall we say wardrobe.

SPECIAL FEATURE THE LEADING WOMEN OF WANDERER'S REST HUMANE ASSOCIATION
Putting the Human in Humane: THE LEADING WOMEN OF WANDERERS’ REST HUMANE ASSOCIATION Sarah Tietje-Mietz
W
innie the Pooh author A.A. Milne once wrote, “Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.” Thankfully, the dedicated staff and volunteers at Wanderers' Rest Humane Association are listening to - and advocating for - the dogs and cats of the Madison County region. Wanderers' Rest, located at 7138 Sutherland Drive in Canastota, is celebrating 40 years of providing the “highest quality care and compassion for the animals entrusted to us while leading our community in creating a more humane society.” A trio of tenacious and capable women are together driving this mission forward: adoption coordinator Vicky Arnold, office manager Danielle Schermerhorn, and executive shelter manager Sabrina Wilcox at the helm. “This is the most emotional job I've ever experienced. When you see dogs or cats come in, in some of the conditions they do or you hear their stories, it's heartbreaking. And your goal is to get those animals a better life,” said Wilcox. “And I have the staff who does it. They are the voices of the animals. They stand up for them, and that's the most important thing.” Wilcox began her career with the non-profit in 2015 as a part-time dog kennel attendant with a bachelor’s degree in wildlife science, and in six years transitioned into the fulltime leadership role while simultaneously earning a master’s degree in anthrozoology. The leadership and direction Wilcox has brought in her role at Wanderers’ Rest is impressive. In 2019 alone, the organization hosted 90 offsite adoption events, facilitated 340 adoptions, created multiple opportunities for animal education
March 2021
and, most notably, officially transitioned to a no-kill facility. A capital campaign effort is underway to raise funds for a new facility in Oneida, which will expand the work done on-site and center them as a more integral resource for the community. Wilcox is quick to credit her team with making the achievements of the organization possible. The close-knit staff of eight wears many hats, and none hesitate to jump in and roll up their sleeves when needed. They have gone so far as helping people locate animal-friendly housing to avoid separating the animals from their humans. Arnold can often be found washing the armloads of bedding for the animals when not scheduling spay and neuter appointments with vets, fielding a majority of incoming calls, or facilitating surrenders and adoptions. Arnold’s own cat, Pickle, came through Wanderers' Rest almost three years ago. He initially went home with Arnold as a foster, but quickly established himself permanently in her heart and home. Photos, letters, and updates from families of adopted animals are treasured mementos for the team at Wanderers' Rest, having all invested so much of themselves into making these adoptions possible. Though each animal’s stay is not permanent, the impact each one has on the staff is long lasting. “They say that with shelter animals, you can literally see the gratitude in their eyes, and they know that something really good is happening,” said Arnold. “It's just a great feeling when they leave the shelter. They're not leaving our hearts; they're going to stay in our hearts forever.” Schermerhorn echoed the sentiment, adding that knowing there are more people out there to match with sheltered and fostered animals helps keep her going in her job. Schermerhorn is a long-time animal advocate and joined the team at Wanderers' Rest after initially coming on as a volunteer a few years back. Her role allows her to continue her advocacy work through humane education and outreach events that engage community participation and awareness. To her, the community’s engagement is invaluable to the work done at Wanderer’s Rest, be it volunteering, donating,

or by sharing information about the animals and events. Despite the pandemic, there are still many volunteer and engagement opportunities for the public - on site or from home with Wanderers' Rest. Schermerhorn stresses that if someone is interested in helping, all they need to do is reach out and the team will help facilitate it. Aside from volunteering, the community can help in other ways by adopting or fostering pets or by dropping off donations like blankets, cleaning supplies, or food for their food bank program. No effort or donation is too small, especially when it comes to financial gifts, which all three women stressed as the most impactful way to support Wanderers' Rest. It all goes a long way in supporting their mission, and at its core, the animals. Because for Schermerhorn,
Syracuse Woman Magazine
and everyone at Wanderers’ Rest, it is all about the animals. “You know, when you come in the morning and seeing those faces is the best part of the day,” said Schermerhorn. “I work with animals all day. Everything I do contributes to an animal, so what better job could you have?” If you are interested in supporting Wanderers' Rest, or are looking to foster or adopt, please call 315-697-4065, or visit: wanderersrest.org/.

hen it feels like you have a million problems to solve and a thousand responsibilities to fulfill, it’s hard to prioritize what comes first. For local mother Annie Taylor, the answer is simple. With her family by her side, the growth of her small business, continual volunteerism and the desire to spread kindness whenever she can, Taylor strives to put everyone first, and that’s what makes her a true hero. Taylor and her husband Kevin live in Syracuse with their three sons, Nolan, Lincoln and Sullivan, all between the ages of eight and 13. Combined with three rescue dogs and one pet hamster, there’s always a constant energy in the Taylor household, especially during the pandemic. “We’re always together, and it’s awesome, but sometimes it’s hard to navigate just never getting a break from each other,” Taylor said. “The Taylor Family has ridden the roller coaster like most other families. Some days we are cruising along, getting what we need to [do] done and enjoying the time together. Other days it’s a real struggle.” But no matter how many meals are prepared, dishes washed, laundry folded, surfaces cleaned and sibling fights reignited and dissolved, Taylor said her family is continuing to grow and navigate the outside pressures of the pandemic with the quality time they spend together. “There’s no social calendar anymore, so it’s a lot of together-time and figuring out what we enjoy doing as a family,” she said. Parenting in general during the pandemic hasn’t been easy, so Taylor said one thing she’s learned is the value in taking time for yourself whenever there’s an opportunity, whether it’s taking a walk for some fresh air or getting some extra sleep at night. “[The pandemic] is so hard for everybody,” she said. “As parents, we have this motto of just taking it one day at a time. It’s too overwhelming, and if I beat myself up over feeling like I’m not doing enough, it’s something that spreads down to the kids. So we’re trying to be kinder to ourselves, and I feel like our self-care routine is something we’ve prioritized and learned is crucial for our sanity, even if it’s going into your own bedroom and closing the door. And there’s nothing wrong with that.” Taylor’s family has also been her support system since she first launched her small business in 2005. Annie Taylor Design is a custom stationery online store that sells notepads, notecards, calendars, prints, invitations, tote bags, T-shirts and more. Her products are designed for not only those who love to stay organized but also those who value the importance of spreading positivity, kindness and joy. Taylor started the business after being inspired to create her own personalized wedding invitations, which later evolved into creating many of her friends’ wedding stationery, and her business only grew from there. ATD shifted away from weddings in 2015 and began creating the custom to-do lists, calendars and checklists on her website today.
“It’s about making sure we are thankful and showing it. It has to be taught. You have to teach kids to give back and lead by example.” — Annie Taylor

COVER STORY ANNIE TAYLOR
A hero at home from page 21 But a lot of things changed in the business world this past year. ATD was one of many small businesses in Central New York that had to make some adjustments in the pandemic. Not being out in the community to sell her products felt difficult at first. “I always participated in local gift shows and in-person school fundraisers and holiday pop-up shops, and none of that could happen, so I really did worry that my business was going to sink,” she said. However, the increase in online shopping worldwide caused ATD sales to climb overall, and Taylor became more present on social media. She has posted videos on Instagram of her business behind the scenes, her life at home and even enlisted her son Sullivan to help her record videos of him reading children’s books and post them with links to free downloadable craft projects for her followers. Taylor also blog-posts about her personal life and other inspiring messages on her website. The community around her, both locally and online, lifted her up to start doing even more. “When something like this happens in your community, people really do care,” she said. “I felt really supported by the community here in Syracuse, and it really helped grow my business because more people knew I was out there.” In January of last year, Taylor was ready to launch GratiKids, a new line of ATD that focuses on teaching children gratitude through action. The Gratitude Activity Kits include kid-friendly thank-you notes, kindness notes, inspirational prints and a daily checklist, all designed to help guide children to give back to their communities through small acts of kindness. But while she was worried the kits wouldn’t sell due to the timing of its release, Taylor said it ended up being one of the best-selling products on her website. “The Gratitude Activity Kits ended up being more successful than I imagined because of the pandemic,” she said. “I think parents were looking for ways to get kids off screens, while keeping them involved and connected to others and motivated by something positive.” Outside of her business, and before the pandemic, Taylor and her family were no strangers to volunteerism and community service. Over the years, she and her family have packed lunches and care packages to hand-deliver to the homeless, decorated framed inspirational quotes for patients at Golisano Children’s Hospital, cleaned up litter in public parks, written thank-you notes to essential workers and pen-pal letters to seniors in nursing homes and visited cats and dogs in local animal shelters. Taylor believes teaching volunteerism to children from a young age has the biggest impact on them as adults who continue giving back throughout their lives. March 2021

You have to teach kids to give back and lead by example.” Taylor knows giving back, spreading positivity and showing gratitude are important lessons in order to teach her family how to be heroes, but for those who want to be a hero to their own family these days, Taylor said it’s all about finding what inspires you to make the most of every day and running with it. “There are opportunities and information everywhere, so you just have to seek it out,” she said. “It really starts with what interests you. You don’t have to go far to figure out how to get involved.” SWM

Periods:
HOW TO TURN A MONTHLY FOE INTO A FRIEND Dinah Olson
I
s your “monthly friend” not very friendly? Do you wish she would quit stopping by every single month? Whatever you call that time of the month: Aunt Flo, Mother Nature, Strawberry Week, Shark Week, Girl Flu; it does not have to be such an unwelcome visitor. In both primary care and gynecologic specialty offices women often seek care because they are unable to function for one or more days every month due symptoms associated with their menstrual periods. They may have pain and or bleeding that interrupts school, work, athletic or social activities. Often patients have suffered for years without seeking help because they thought, or were told, that it is a normal part of being a woman. While the menstrual cycle is indeed a normal bodily function, disruption of your life is not. The idea that women should just learn to live with menstrual symptoms that interrupt their lives is outdated and dismissive.
Too painful? Are your periods painful? Do you find yourself stuck in bed clutching a heating pad or with your skin shriveling up from long hot baths? You have dysmenorrhea, which is the medical term for menstrual cramps that originate in the uterus. Sometimes pain may radiate into the back or down the legs. For some women the pain is a minor inconvenience. For others, symptoms are severe enough to result in the complete loss of one more days of functionality every single month.
March 2021
Why are some women more affected by menstrual pain than others? Research indicates prostaglandin levels may be elevated in women who suffer from primary dysmenorrhea. Prostaglandins are chemicals made by our own cells and are involved in the body’s inflammatory response and regulation of contraction and relaxation of muscles. This includes the very strong muscles that are contained in the uterus. It is important to distinguish between two main types of dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to the condition of painful periods without any known physical problem that may cause pelvic pain. Onset for most women is when ovulatory menstrual cycles begin, usually within six to 12 months of menarche (the very first menstrual period). Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to painful menses or pelvic pain due to pelvic pathology or a recognized medical condition. Those condition include pelvic infection, endometriosis, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids or other pelvic structural abnormalities. By seeing your healthcare provider you can determine which category you fall into and what treatment approach is best for you.
Too heavy? Do you refer to your friend as Bloody Mary, Red Wedding, Code Red? Are you spending too much money on feminine hygiene products and replacing ruined clothing? Then you may suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). HMB is the medical
Heroes, Families & Pets Edition

term used to refer to menstrual bleeding that comes on a regular cyclic interval and is heavy or prolonged. Any of the following is considered to be heavy menstrual bleeding: • Bleeding that lasts longer than seven days. • Bleeding that soaks through one or more tampons or pads every hour for several hours in a row. • Needing to wear more than one pad at a time to control menstrual flow. • Needing to change pads or tampons during the night. • Menstrual flow with blood clots that are as big as a quarter or larger.
What to do about painful or heavy periods Fear not, there are many treatments available for primary dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding. But first, consider seeing your primary care or gynecologic health care provider. Tell your story. They can help determine if there are secondary causes for your dysmenorrhea or worrisome causes for heavy menstrual bleeding.
Treatment for primary dysmenorrhea Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). The most common first line of treatment for painful periods are NSAIDS. Remember the inflammatory factors called prostaglandins we talked about earlier? Bingo! That’s why we first try medications such as over the counter ibuprofen or naproxen. There are also prescription NSAIDS available. See your health care provider about what the best medication and dosing strategy is safest for you. Other medications. Aspirin (another NSAID) and acetaminophen (not an NSAID) are pain relievers that may be helpful but appear to be less effective than non-aspirin NSAIDS. There is some evidence that montelukast, a medication that is used for asthma and allergies may help some patients. Hormonal mediation. A frequent next step if NSAIDS are not effective is hormonal medications. These are most commonly birth control methods. • Birth control pills - taken by mouth once daily. There are a wide variety of pills available so if one isn’t right for you there are others to try. • Contraceptive patch - worn on the skin of the upper arm, lower abdomen, upper or lower back. It is changed weekly. • Vaginal ring - is worn in the upper vagina. Currently there are two versions available. One that you discard every month and one that is reusable for 13 cycles. Using the pill, patch or ring most people have a monthly period but they usually experience less painful periods. Some treatment may be prescribed as extended cycling (have a period every three months) or continuous cycling (no period at all). With fewer or no periods, women have less pain.

• Medroxyprogesterone acetate, a.k.a. “the shot” - is given by injection every 11 to 13 weeks, so about every three months. Commonly women using this method stop menstruating all together and thus, do not have pain associated with bleeding. • Contraceptive subdermal implant - inserted under the skin of the upper arm by your trained healthcare provider. Some women using this method experience fewer menstrual cramps. • IUD with hormones - the intrauterine devices are placed in the uterus by your trained healthcare provider. Many women using this method experience fewer menstrual cramps.
Big pharma is not my thing. Any other options? Studies are somewhat limited on the use of complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments for primary dysmenorrhea. There is some evidence the following may be helpful and generally thought to be of low risk. • Low fat vegetarian diet • Increased dietary dairy • TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) • Acupressure (including self acupressure-there’s an app for that) • Acupuncture • Relaxation techniques • Traditional Chinese herbal medicine • Thiamine • Vitamins such as E, B1, B12, D • Fish oil supplements • Ginger powder
Treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding Hormonal methods. The pill, patch, vaginal ring, depo provera and hormonal IUD described above are all treatment options for most women with heavy menstrual bleeding. The subdermal implant may help some women with heavy bleeding. After evaluation of your bleeding, your healthcare provider can help you choose the option best for you. Nonhormonal medications. For those women who do not need birth control and only want to take medication on the days they bleed, Tranexemic acid may be an option to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. Use requires evaluation and prescription from your healthcare provider. Whatever your situation is, there is help available. You do not have to suffer from painful and heavy periods. Keep the friends you love and say goodbye to monthly dread. Say hello to being your best self every single day of the month.

The sweet escape SWEET DREAM CANDY SHOPPE PERSEVERES DURING PANDEMIC Ashley M. Casey
N
avigating the coronavirus pandemic has been difficult for all business owners, but it has been an especially trying time for fledgling entrepreneurs. Fortunately for Robin Mack, owner of Sweet Dream Candy Shoppe in Baldwinsville, her business is buoyed by the tight-knit B’ville community. Less than a year into her post-retirement venture — Mack spent 20 years as a nurse for St. Joseph’s Health — COVID-19 brought everyday life to a screeching halt. Weddings, showers and other special events for which Mack was supplying favors and candy buffets were put on hold. “We were just starting to get going with that when we first opened in 2019, and I had booked a bunch of weddings in 2020. I had to regroup and figure out how to keep going,” Mack said. Thanks to her devoted fan base — Sweet Dream has nearly 2,600 Facebook likes and over 1,100 followers on Instagram — and the support of her family and fellow business owners, Mack has

been able to persevere. “The support that we each show each other just trying to keep each other going is huge,” she said. When most businesses were closed to foot traffic, Mack implemented curbside pickup and began taking orders over social media. She offers free delivery in the Baldwinsville area. “People [have been] nervous about going out in public,” she said. Sweet Dream has partnered with other Baldwinsville businesses for small, private events. In December, Sweet Dream and Bliss Bridal hosted the Red Wine Soirée, which featured wines from Strigo Vineyards and catering by Angry Garlic.

The wine tasting had two sessions and capped attendance so no more than 10 people would be in the shop at a time. Sweet Dream also collaborated with Pizza Man Pub for Thursday date night packages and family dinners at Greens ’N’ Grains, which opened next door to the candy shop in 2020. As Central New York families adjusted to working, learning and playing from home, Sweet Dream developed new products to entertain chocolate lovers of all ages. Mack created scavenger hunt kits and chocolate charades for children and an escape room kit for adults. While she’s no longer putting in shifts at the hospital, Mack is
acutely aware of the pressures facing workers on the front lines of the COVID crisis. “I have good friends that are still working in the hospitals, and they are definitely struggling,” she said. “The thing that’s hard, too, is nurses were feeling burned out before the pandemic. I can’t even imagine the stressors that they’re feeling.” To show her appreciation, Mack put together 50 candy gift baskets for first responders last spring. She is looking to repeat the gesture this year. Mack has carried lessons from her nursing career into her new business. “That fast pace of working in the emergency room

prepared me for being busy here,” she said. “It’s given me perspective — obviously, nobody’s going to die if they don’t get candy — [but] there are candy emergencies.” With the last-minute candy emergencies of Valentine’s Day behind her, Mack is looking ahead to Easter, which falls on April 4 this year.

rin Czadzeck will tell you herself: she won’t let anything get in her way. Not even a pesky lamp or a chair that hasn’t been pushed into the table properly will stop her for long, though a pair of shoes left in the middle of the family room floor is liable to trip her up just a bit. Diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at the age of 4, Czadzeck experienced gradual loss of sight in the ensuing years. By the time she was in her early 20s, she could no longer tell apart faces or colors, finding only enough vision to distinguish between light and dark while recognizing a minimal amount of movement. Erin’s father, John Scala, remembers noticing signs of impairment when she was about three and a half, back when she would grab her mother’s hand in the dimly lit restaurants and movie theaters the family entered. At first Scala chalked it up to a fear of the dark, but his daughter’s tendency to stumble over objects in her path and turn her head during a game of catch, denoting a reliance on a specific part of the retina, led him to believe otherwise. Upon being diagnosed with the condition in 1990, doctors revealed to Czadzeck that total blindness was a potential end result, so as a grade schooler in the Baldwinsville School District, she reluctantly began learning Braille at the urging of her parents. Amid that stage of life, when she found herself perfectly able to read with her eyes and keep up in organized sports — even excelling in some — Czadzeck didn’t see the need to acquaint herself with the tactile code, which she now uses for everything from labeling medicine to writing grocery lists. “I’m extremely grateful that that was a decision made on my behalf because I use it on a daily basis,” Czadzeck, now going on 35, said. Her visual decline happened to set in sooner than it has for others with the same genetic disorder, some of whom can, in their 70s, still read large-print materials and recognize faces.

“High school I think is where it really started to hit,” Czadzeck said. “My eyes would get fatigued very quickly and things would just blur. I couldn’t read as much as I needed to or wanted to, so I had things read to me by a teaching assistant.” In addition to attending VISIONS Conferences with Erin, for well over a decade the Scalas annually held golf tournaments that doubled as fundraisers for research. They also started a Syracuse chapter of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, then called the National Retinitis Pigmentosa Foundation. For those who were around her day in and day out, including an older brother and two older sisters, the routine of helping Erin find her way around eventually became second nature. During her college years, however, she concluded that a successful future would result from learning more skills herself, a realization that she said steered her toward six months of training at a center for the blind in Littleton, Colorado. There she learned how to use a cane, navigate a city and cook a meal that would feed over 50 people. “Don’t let the fact that you have a visual impairment or blindness stop you from chasing your dreams or reaching for the stars,” Czadzeck said. “Everybody has bumps or roadblocks along the way. That’s just part of being a human. You figure it out and roll with the punches.” Now that she has a son to raise, Czadzeck has also had to get used to dressing him in the morning on top of changing diapers and making bottles of baby formula. Following a suggestion made by her husband, Tim, she decided to start an online journal in April 2020 at the address blindmommy blog.com, which she uses to relay how she manages to keep one step ahead not just as a blind woman, but as a mother to one-yearold Noah. On that site, Czadzeck catalogues her thoughts as well as recipes, humorous anecdotes and tips for those new to parenting. For one, she has recommended accessible toys that can be created from household items, such as a rice-filled water bottle that Noah uses as a rattle of sorts. She also posted last November about the types of crib sheets, sippy cups and laundry soap that have best served her and her husband. Though unsure about how exactly her retinal disorder was passed down through the lineage, Czadzeck does remain certain of one thing: that her son, who she refers to as “the cutest little munchkin,” has brought her a wealth of happiness despite the sleepless nights. “He’s just the joy of my world,” she said.

Mrs. Syracuse turns focus to heart health, STEM
AMANDA RICHIE TERZIAN DEDICATES HERSELF TO THE NEW STEM GOES RED INITIATIVE

March 2021 2021
ven though her career trajectory has largely landed her in journalistic endeavors, heart health has been at the back of Amanda Richie Terzian’s mind all the while. As a lifelong running enthusiast, having participated in 32 half marathons and six full ones, the current Mrs. Syracuse places an emphasis on keeping in shape and staying active. Not only that: she also takes into account how cardiovascular disease runs in her family. Her mother lives with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, while her father began having heart murmurs in his late teens. Later he found himself unable to make it a full city block without becoming exhausted, at which point he discovered he had aortic valve stenosis and would need a pacemaker. “There were no ifs, ands or buts about it that heart health and education was going to be my mission going forth,” Terzian said. At the beginning of this year, she became the chair of the Syracusebased STEM Goes Red initiative, part of a countrywide undertaking by the American Heart Association centered around the encouragement of young women who wish to enter the STEM field. Though STEM wasn’t always on her radar, Terzian had helped the not-for-profit association raise donations in the past. Without forcing young learners down the STEM path, Terzian said she wants to connect high schoolers, college students and recent college graduates who show promise with professional mentors as well as organizations willing to give out scholarships to both women and men. Sponsored mainly by National Grid as of mid-February, this STEM Goes Red initiative will also involve half-day conferences geared toward young women in the area. The committee at the helm will put effort into making the percentage of women in the STEM workforce “reflective of what society looks like” according to Terzian, who cited a statistic that only three out of every 100 female STEM degree holders secure a job in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. “I understand that when you go to study something, that may not always be the career that you go into, but specifically for STEM, that number needs to be higher,” Terzian said. “It’s an intimidating field when you don’t see yourself represented.”

Terzian said she would be “ecstatic” if women accounted for 70% of STEM workers in the United States by the end of the decade. “That means all of this work and these ideas and these hopes will have paid off,” she said. At that point, she said she would welcome the sprouting of an initiative to get more men into the STEM field. “For me, it’s serving the community and being a motivator and a positive force,” Terzian said. “Sometimes people are discouraged and they don’t think they can do something, but I want to be that inspiration to say ‘look, you can do it.’” That attitude, she claims, is part of what the Mrs. Syracuse pageant is all about. Before becoming this year’s holder of that winning title, she worked on branding and marketing herself around the city. Furthermore, she has sung “The Star-Spangled Banner” at public events and volunteered at various establishments in town. The state pageant in Rochester, which has been set to take place in July, will involve questions from a panel of judges and an onstage competition complete with opening numbers, swim-suits and evening gowns. Before making her way to Syracuse, Terzian — who grew up in Garland, Texas — had lived for years in New York City, much of that time spent in the vicinity of news journalist Dan Rather. While at Sam Houston State University, which boasts a communications building named after the former evening anchor, Terzian was awarded an internship connected with an hourlong, weekly investigate journalism show he hosted on HDNet called Dan Rather Reports. After the internship’s completion, she earned a full-time employee position. Over 11 years, she went from answering phones to applying Rather’s makeup to becoming a full-fledged producer on The Big Interview, which has found Rather conversing with entertainment figures, oftentimes musicians such as Dolly Parton and Bryan Adams. “It was an incredible experi-ence,” Terzian said. Amanda Richie Terzian lives in downtown Syracuse with her “energetic” two-year-old son James, her 15-year-old Yorkipoo Maddie and her husband of five years, Jim, a radiologist in the area.

Crouse Health receives $125,000 grant for addiction treatment services
Crouse Health has been awarded a $125,000 grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation to help support and expand services for individuals in treatment for substance use disorders. The grant will expand access to Certified Recovery Peer Advocates (CRPA) outside of traditional treatment hours. CRPAs are individuals with lived experience who understand the toll of addiction and the treatment process. The grant will also help sustain a therapy aide as part of the multidisciplinary treatment team who supports patients and the counseling staff with a range of services, including help accessing child care and navigating paperwork. In addition, the grant will allow Crouse to add additional counselor hours to its Celebrating Families program, which is held outside of typical clinic hours, usually on a Saturday morning, to make it more convenient for families to participate. “We are so grateful to the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation for recognizing the need for enhanced support for individuals undergoing substance use treatment,” says Crouse Addiction Treatment Services Medical Director Dr. Tolani Ajagbe, adding that demand for opioid treatment services has increased significantly in the area since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic last year. “Getting services to people where they live, especially during a pandemic, is critically important,” added Dr. Ajagbe. To address this, the grant will also help support the purchase of equipment and software to provide more robust telehealth services for those who request it. “These grants demonstrate our continued commitment to support a wide range of organizations like Crouse Health that are March 2021
