Cover photo by BIL BOWDEN for SMART: Jan Swarthout, 49 of York Township, balances her diet by eating small meals every 2 to 3 hours. “It’s really not a diet,” Swarthout said, contrary to what most people think. “It’s a lifestyle change.” She lost about 75 pounds in a year after doctors diagnosed her as a diabetic with hypothyroidism. Now she’s a personal trainer and a competitive powerlifter. Find more information on Swarthout at www.shapemeup.biz. Find more myths debunked on pages 28-29.

Smart choices will keep you on your toes.
I’ve never lived on a farm. You could guess that by how I wince at country smells, or how fast I run when I see a snake. Still, country music holds a place in my heart. And I confess that my cowgirl boots are my favorite shoes. And when the weather warms, you can find me at farmers markets, orchards and farm stands. Buying fresh, local produce, dairy and meat not only supports the community, but also reduces food imports and carbon emissions. I’d like to think the food is healthier, too, with fewer preservatives. So, naturally, I was overjoyed when I heard how Anna MacBurney of Fawn Township makes yogurt using milk from her Nubian goats. When I visited Anna, it was clear how much the lives of her and her three grandchildren — Michael, 17, Jacob, 11, and Hannah, 10 — revolve around the animals. Anna keeps the newborn goats warm in her kitchen and feeds them every two hours. Every morning and evening, she milks the does. Anna uses the milk to make yogurt, cheese, baked goods and soap. To read more about her yogurtmaking, see pages 22-23. Anna’s cooking tips aren’t the only

When Laurie Adler of Windsor Township found a vintage floral sheet at a thrift store for $1.99, she saw more than a bed cover. The 38-year-old mother of two turned it into a pillow with little more than a needle, thread and some stuffing she had on hand. “I try to rescue a lot of things and reuse something that was going to be tossed,” she said. It helps the budget and makes her feel as if she is doing her part to care for the environment, the stay-at-home mom said. But pillows are just the beginning.

Catholic High School. She said she’s found the skill useful as she’s gotten older. After hitting every store for the perfect chair cushion for her dorm room, Connor and her mom covered an inexpensive one with sheet fabric in her favorite print – robots. “It’s one of a kind, and it still looks great,” Connor said. Sheets make great duvet covers (sew two sheets together and close with buttons); curtains (the length and width are big advantages over buying
regular curtain panels); pillow and chair covers; and valances. Connor said the upside of sheets is that you can make your own accessories for a quarter of the price that the manufacturer might offer the items for. “You can use the sheets to make things like matching curtains, throw

pillows, shams, dust ruffles and stool covers,” she said. Not only can you turn sheets into versatile home goods, but, Adler said, they make great clothes. Adler made a skirt with a ruffle for a young girl and plans to make a blouse for herself. “I like the older vintage sheets,” she said. “There is just something about them that you aren’t going to find at the mall.” Whether you use old sheets from your house or a thrift store or buy new, there are dozens of ways to take a block of fabric and turn it into something fabulous.

How to handle your mantel
Decorating your mantel can add focus to a room 10 | smart
By BETH VRABEL for Smart
During the holidays, the fireplace mantel shines with glittering decorations and stockings that are waiting to be filled. The rest of the year, it probably houses dusty, framed photos and a couple of candlesticks. But no matter what time of year, the mantel shouldn’t be ignored. It says a lot about a homeowner’s style and taste. “You should always make a mantel the focal point of the room. Always,” said Judy Brillhart, owner of the Strawberry Shop in North Codorus Township. But that doesn’t mean decorating your mantel should be time intensive or expensive.
Sandy Long, owner of The Sandy Woods in Hanover, said the trick is to figure out what you want, what you like, and go from there. “If you’re not comfortable with it, don’t do it,” Long said. “It’s not life or death here.” For a magnificent mantel all year...
Evaluate the space.
Draw an imaginary square around your fireplace, encompassing the mantel. Add a rectangle below it. Think of this as your mantel space, Long said. “You don’t have to confine your mantel decorations to the mantel itself.”
Think same colors, different textures. Brillhart said she keeps two things in mind when decorating her mantel: monochromatic and monobotantical. “You want to keep it clean and simple,” she said. Keep the colors to three or fewer. “You can put a lot of things on a mantel, but they have to be related. If you put too many colors, the eye has too much to look at.” In the spring, Brillhart’s mantel has either pink or white cherry blossoms. If she goes with pink, the rest of her décor has varying shades of pink. Keep it symmetrical. Sort of. If you add a tall candlestick to the right of your mantel, you need to do the same to the left, right? Wrong! “This is not like when you wore a handbag and matching shoes,” Long said. “We’re not there anymore.” Instead, even out the space by adding statuary to the left of the hearth, she said. Make it easy to freshen up. A favorite trick is to use a suction cup that holds 25™ pounds.
Brillhart adheres it to a mirror propped on the mantel and hangs an illuminated wreath on it in the winter. In the spring, she drapes fresh or artificial cherry blossoms catty-corner on the mirror.
THE DESIGNERS
SMART TIP: Corded lights don’t have to be restricted to the holidays. The Strawberry Shop offers different colored cords, including white, green and brown. So you could decorate a spring mantel piece with artificial grape vine, with brown corded lights running through it. In the winter, decorate with white icy garland and white corded lights, Brillhart said.
PHOTO BY JASON PLOTKIN for Smart
Take it easy on yourself. Long takes issue with TV programs that show designers sweeping in and leaving a stylish home in their wake an hour later. Décor isn’t so simple. Brillhart agrees. “If you’re not comfortable with experimenting and trying new things, I’d probably stick to very simple things,” she said. And, if you still don’t know what to do, ask for help.
Judy Brillhart Occupation: owner of the Strawberry Shop, 1189 Strawberry Lane in North Codorus Township. Brillhart also offers interior design and decorates the governor’s mansion for the holidays each year. Design style: She says it’s eclectic transitional, which is “traditional but not frou-frou frumpy traditional.” www.thestrawberryshop york.com or 792-0920
Sandy Long Occupation: owner of The Sandy Woods, 40 Broadway in Hanover Design style: “I don’t like matchy, matchy. I like things that go well together (with a) strong sense of practicality. And I like it to be pretty, however you define pretty.” www.thesandywoods.com or 637-2577

Flying grand How to display the flag By TARA HAWKINS for Smart
‘Tis the season for patriotic displays. Flags line the sidewalks and Old Glory flies from every flag pole. In celebrating America and its flag, there are a few rules to remember to treat this emblem with the dignity and respect it deserves. While there is no set etiquette for displaying small decorative flags, there are standards for regulation-size flags of 3 by 5 feet and larger. Gerry Clauser of York is a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and manager of the White Rose VFW Post 556 in York. She shared these guidelines.
12 | smart
The flag always flies at the top. All other flags, including the Pennsylvania flag, must be flown lower. Additional flags must also be smaller than the American flag. If flying a 3-by-5foot flag, others should be no larger than 2 by 3 feet.
The Stars and Stripes should be lowered every evening and hoisted every morning. The flag should never be left up at night unless there is a light shining on it. If it rains, the flag does not need to be lowered. However, if the weather is severe, the flag should be preserved.
York County Veterans Honor Guard member Paul Hershey of York New Salem is framed by an American flag held by Charles Schlein of Dover before the unveiling of an Abraham Lincoln bust at the Hanover Junction Train Station.
A household flag can be flown at half-staff. There are certain holidays that the flag can be flown at half-staff. On Memorial Day, the flag should be flown as such until noon. If a dignitary dies, the President of the United States might issue an order. Governors of individual states, territories or possessions of the United States can also issue an order, according to the U.S. Code of Patriotic Customs.
Never drape the flag over your body in an attempt to be patriotic. The flag was never meant to be used as a clothing garment.
The flag should never be on the floor.
The flag from a different perspective
It is best to store the flag in a plastic bag for long-term storage. Keeping the flag from touching the floor is a sign of honor. Once it has touched the floor, it must be retired — not burned.
The Court of Valor Memorial Amid the veterans’ section of the historic Prospect Hill Cemetery in Manchester Township, sits the Court of Valor Memorial. The structure includes a beam from the World Trade Center. Just below, flies a 6-by-10-foot American flag. According to Jack Sommer of York Township, who is the managing partner at Prospect Hill, the flag flies for all veterans. Flown vertically, the Stars and Stripes should display the union to the left of the observer. Because the memorial can be viewed from any angle, sometimes the flag appears to be hanging incorrectly. To view properly, you must see it from the north. The flag is kept in place with grommets at all four corners and is lit every night.
Flags can be retired at a VFW or American Legion Post. Most posts conduct a retiring ceremony. The White Rose VFW retires 500 to 800 flags per year. If a replacement flag is needed, the VFW sells flags that are strictly made in the United States.

Make your walls stand out When you paint, ensure people notice.
By HOLLY WHITE for Smart
Looking for an easy, affordable way to spruce up your home’s interior? Consider faux painting techniques. Common methods include: Ragging: Paint a darker base-coat color, and then apply paint with a scrunched up rag with a second color (usually a color similar to the bottom layer) on top. Sponging: The same basic steps as ragging, but use a real sea sponge to stipple on the top coat. Striping: Use painters tape to hide sections of the wall after applying a base coat. Then, apply a second coat with a roller. Peel away the tape after the paint has dried to reveal the stripes. For a creative twist, use the same color of paint with a different finish. Wall stenciling: Use a stencil to guide a pattern or border on the base coat color. Color washing: In “x” motions, use a textured brush to paint a second layer, either the same shade or a tainted glaze. Combing: Create vertical lines, waves or horizontal stripes by combing through the base color. Crackling: Give your wall a distress or aged antique look with fine lines or pronounced cracking.
Ford applied a glaze to faux paint on a vaulted ceiling inside the home.
What the professionals say There are some interesting types of paint, like Venetian plasters and shimmer-stone colors.

Dads say the darndest things The men of the house share their words of wisdom By TARA HAWKINS for Smart
You just said it — the one thing your parents said to you as a kid that you never thought you would repeat. Even worse, you just made up something new that will go down in history. In dispensing fatherly wisdom, there are bound to be a few adages that just miss the mark. In honor of Father’s Day, a few local dads share their favorites.

Lives in: West Manchester Township Children: Kristen, 35; Nate, 33; Angela, 27 Stepdaughters: Chelsea, 17; Darion, 15 The saying: “If you’re going to be dumb, you better be tough.” “My stepdaughter insists on not listening to us concerning dressing warmly enough. She went to homecoming this past fall. She went out to dinner and then to the school dance. It was rather chilly for a little dress with no cover up. A few days later, she had the swine flu. All I could say was that if you’re gonna be dumb, then you better be tough.”

Lives in: Manchester Township Children: Tyson, 14 The saying: “If you know you are wrong, you are right.” “By never owning up to the fact that you are wrong, you will not learn from it. So by knowing and saying you are wrong, you are actually doing the right thing. I tell this to my son when he knows that he did the wrong thing and admits it.”
Carl Atkinson III, 38 Lives in: York Township Children: Roy, 7; Hanna, 5
The saying: “Go ask your mother.” “This is a very helpful phrase. All fathers should first understand that it has pros and cons. I use it sparingly. On the plus side, it instantly shifts the child’s focus from you to your wife — very helpful during sporting events. However, your wife then gets to decide whatever needs deciding. It might require even more participation from you than just answering the question would have.”

Raising kids who want to be stars By TERESA McMINN for Smart
So, your child wants to be a star. But not every kid has the talent to make it to the big time, local experts say. Parents should know that rejection is part of the business, said Joe Kelly, who has modeled for some of the biggest names in the fashion industry. He’s signed with the Ford agency, was featured in a Gillette razor and other television commercials and has ties to modeling and acting agencies around the world. Kelly, who runs a photography studio in York County, uses his experience on both sides of the camera to help budding professionals develop their portfolio and career. 20 | smart
And that includes an honest opinion and straight talk on what it takes to make it in the industry. “Modeling ... is rough,” Kelly said. “It’s hard not to take it personally,” he said of rejection. “Not everyone is going to like you.” Kelly also warns parents to be aware of rip-off scams that lead to expensive lessons and broken hearts. Scam artists will promise the world and charge a price for it, he said. “You shouldn’t have to pay to get involved,” he said of entering the modeling field. “Your jobs come from an agency. That’s it ... You do not need to attend modeling school or go to classes to be a model.” There are legitimate agencies, managers and photographers in the industry that are helpful, he said. “Do your research,” Kelly said of finding reputable professionals. Recently, Kelly updated a portfolio for Alexa Pretty, 15, an aspiring model. Her dad, Ralph Pretty, of Loganville said he and his daughter have been fortunate so far and have met reputable people in the industry.
Alexa is signed with Stewart Talent in Chicago, he said. But it’s harder to break into professional modeling than most folks might think. “Be careful ... some places set up in hotels ... charge you,” he said. Like Ralph Pretty, parents should make sure their child wants to pursue modeling, acting or performing, said Eric Miller, Kelly’s studio manager. “Make sure your kid is into it,” Miller said. “(Parents) have to be educated on what their kid gets into.”
Tips for parents dealing with a child who wants to be a star: •Teach your child that rejection is part of the business. • Beware of rip-off scams that promise to make your child a star. • Research to make sure the modeling agency, or anyone who claims to be an expert in the industry, is reputable. • Don’t push your child to be famous.

MacBurney’s helpful hints for yogurt-making: 1. Rinse your pot and crock with boiling water to sterilize them before use. 2. Higher fat milk sets up faster and yogurt tastes less tart. Lower fat milk takes longer to set and yogurt is tarter. 3. If you are using raw milk, use fresh milk from that day’s milking. 4. Store yogurt in the refrigerator no longer than two weeks. Freeze up to three months.
What kind of milk? You can use any kind of milk in your homemade yogurt recipe — cow or goat, raw or pasteurized. With raw milk, you must heat it to a higher temperature in the initial step, MacBurney said. “A lot of people prefer goats’ milk because it’s more digestible than cows’ milk,” she said. MacBurney likes using unprocessed or “raw” milk because it contains the cream and butterfat which gives yogurt a better consistency and makes it set up faster. PHOTOS BY JASON PLOTKIN for Smart
Anna MacBurney feeds Cayley, one of the nine milkable doe on her Fawn Township farm. She uses the raw goat milk to make her own yogurt.
Got yogurt?
Making homemade yogurt is easier than you think By BETH BENCE REINKE for Smart
When most of us want yogurt, we grab a little plastic cup from the refrigerator. But Anna MacBurney’s family eats yogurt from a crock she takes out of the oven. It might sound strange, but allowing the mixture to sit in a warm oven overnight is part of the make-it-yourself yogurt process. If you think making yogurt is complicated, you’re in for a pleasant surprise, said MacBurney, a dairy goat farmer from Fawn Township. “Making homemade yogurt is probably one of the easiest things that I’ve done,” she said. “In fact, it kind of just sits and makes itself.” With about 30 registered Nubian goats, MacBurney has plenty of milk for her yogurt-making habit. She feels good about having fresh yogurt available for her family because of its health benefits. “Yogurt is good for your digestive tract because it contains active cultures, plus it contains calcium,” she said. Are you ready to give homemade yogurt a try? Here’s everything you need to know:
MacBurney pours some of her homemade yogurt into a cup.
22 | smart
HOMEMADE YOGURT RECIPE Ingredients: 2 quarts milk 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water 2 tablespoons live, active cultures (organic plain yogurt such as Stonyfield Farms brand) Equipment: heavy 5-quart stew pot wooden spoon candy thermometer (kind that clips on the side of the pot) 1-gallon crock cheese cloth, 3-4 layers thick large rubber band Directions for making yogurt with pasteurized milk: Heat & stir: 1) Heat milk in a clean pot, stirring constantly, until the temperature reaches 130 degrees. Remove pot from heat and add sugar and unflavored gelatin. 2) When the temperature drops to between 105-130 degrees, add live, active cultures. Stir well so the cultures are evenly distributed through the milk.
Cooking with yogurt
Hopewell Township resident Susie Kranz said her family eats yogurt anytime from breakfast to dessert. “We always have a refrigerator full of yogurt,” she said. Whether you prefer homemade or store-bought, yogurt can be used as an ingredient in cooking. Kranz said her favorite way to use plain yogurt in cooking is as a healthier substitution for heavy cream — in her cranberry scone recipe, for example. Her interest in yogurt stems partly from her year as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa where she and a friend made their own yogurt every day, Kranz said. Today she uses yogurt as an ingredient in marinades and side dishes, such as raita. “Raita is a yogurt mixture served with spicy Indian food — it cools the palate.” Grated cucumber and mint are usually mixed with yogurt to make the refreshing dish, she said, but you can also use fennel seeds, grapes or bananas.
MacBurney stirs her yogurt after it’s been stored in a crock overnight.
Pour & store: 3) Pour into a warm, sterilized crock. Cover with 3-4 layers of cheese cloth and secure with a rubber band. 4) Store the crock at a temperature of 80 degrees for 8 hours or overnight. If you have a gas stove, just slide the crock into the oven and the pilot light will keep it warm enough. For an electric stove, set it to 100 degrees for ten minutes, then turn the oven off and slide the crock in. Freeze and flavor: 5) The next morning, take the crock out of the oven. If you plan on making more
yogurt, freeze 1/2 cup in a sterile container to be the live, active culture for your next batch. 6) Stir in flavorings, if desired. For vanilla yogurt, add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract per quart. Add fresh or frozen fruit. If you use frozen fruit, thaw it in a colander to allow the excess water to drain before adding to yogurt. Store yogurt in the refrigerator. To make yogurt with raw milk, bring the initial temperature of the milk in step 1 to 180 degrees. Remove the pot from heat and add sugar and gelatin. Then follow steps 2-6 as above.
Cranberry Scones
2-1/4 cup unsifted flour 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 cup butter 1 cup plain yogurt 3/4 cup dried cranberries Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cloves. With pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 2 teaspoons yogurt. Add remaining yogurt and cranberries to dry ingredients. Mix lightly with fork until mixture clings together forming a soft dough. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 7-inch circle. Cut into 4 wedges. Place scones 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet. Pierce tops with tines of fork. Brush tops with reserved yogurt. Bake scones 15-20 minutes. Serve warm. Susie Kranz, Hopewell Township, adapted from “Country Living Magazine,” Feb. 1989 issue
Fruity Raita
1-1/2 cups plain yogurt 15 seedless grapes, quartered 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped 2 small bananas, sliced 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon cumin Mix sugar and cumin into yogurt. Add grapes and walnuts and stir. Slice bananas directly into the bowl and fold in gently, coating the bananas to prevent browning. Garnish with a sprinkle of cumin.

Talking to your hairstylist

Open communication will ensure a perfect ’do By NICKI STIGER for Smart
There is nothing more frustrating for a hairstylist than having a client who can’t communicate what she wants. Kelly Immel, a stylist at Salon 144 in Glen Rock, said she hopes her warm smile and friendly demeanor help even the most shy clients open up to share the cut and style they want. “A good stylist will listen to what they say and do it,” she said. We want to know what they do, she said. If they are a runner and need to keep their hair up, that is important. Some clients don’t like to spend a lot of time styling their hair, which is another helpful tip. Chance Backert of Glen Rock said 24 | smart
she has developed a good relationship with her stylist at Salon 144, Sarah Kury. Backert takes the bold approach in getting the look she desires. “I come in and tell her what I want,” she said. If you aren’t as outgoing as Backert, Immel said it’s best to bring a picture to get the conversation started. But beware, just because a hairdo looks good on Angelina Jolie, doesn’t mean it’s going to look good on you. “There is a lot to take into consideration,” Immel said. Kury said some face shapes just don’t lend themselves to certain haircuts. She prefers to be honest with her clients.
“A lot of people want the wedge, the stacked look,” she said. “That doesn’t work for everyone.” If you don’t like your cut or style, tell the stylist before you leave. Immel and Kury both agreed that they prefer to fix the ’do rather than lose the business. “I tell them to be honest at the end of a haircut,” Kury said. “It’s a good thing to know what they think.” Immel has a strategy to avoid an it’stoo-short reaction. “If a client tells me to shave their head, I leave a little on,” she said. “It leaves room for fixing.” “It’s all about communication,” Immel said. “If you tell us what you want, we can do it.”

How to grow out bangs:
What should you tip?
Ladies who opted for side bangs during the past few years are lucky. Growing them out isn’t nearly as hard as it was to grow out the full-forehead bangs of the ‘80s and ‘90s. • Use accessories, such as pins, clips or headbands, to hold them back. • Don’t cut them yourself. • Be patient. Hair grows about a half inch a month. • Train them to go to one side by using a blow dryer or hairspray. • Part your hair differently to keep it versatile.
A good tip at the hair salon shows your stylist how much you appreciate his or her effort. Chance Backert of Glen Rock has been seeing the same hairstylist for two years. She tips 20 percent. “If someone takes care of you, I believe you should take care of them,” the 37-year-old said. CNNMoney.com states that 15 to 20 percent of the bill is customary to tip a hairdresser.

Aging the healthy way
Keep up exams, screenings through the years
20s
By NICKI STIGER for Smart
When you’re 20, the immediate health effects of smoking or excessive eating and drinking are hard to imagine. Yet, fast forward decades down the road and diabetes, high cholesterol and clogged arteries will start to interfere with your lifestyle. Dr. Julie Drolet of the Women’s Institute for Gynecology in York said how you treat your body in your younger years is a good indicator of what kind of senior you will be. “What I do now in my 40s is going to influence how I will be when I finally get to retire,” she said. Here are a few tips for staying hip and healthy through the decades.
Reproductive: HPV vaccine recommended for ages 9-26 to prevent against certain types of HPV as well as genital warts. Annual pap smear at age 21 (or sooner in certain conditions) and STD screening. If you are trying to become pregnant, consider genetic screening and prenatal counseling. Heart: Have your blood pressure checked at least once every two years. Have your doctor work up a baseline cholesterol panel once in the decade. Eyes and Ears: Have a baseline vision and hearing exam.
At every age: ■ Be physically active. ■ Be nutritionally smart. ■ Be in-the-know about preventative screenings. ■ Don’t smoke. ■ Bring a list of questions to ask your doctor.

myths Nutrition
debunked Don’t be fooled by fairy tales about food and nutrition
By BETH BENCE REINKE for Smart
ILLUSTRATION BY SAMANTHA DELLINGER for Smart
SMART TIP:
These days, nutrition advice is offered everywhere — online, in magazines, on television — and much of it is conflicting. Sometimes, a falsehood is repeated until it’s widely accepted as truth — and a nutrition myth is born. “So much confusing information comes out that it’s hard for consumers to figure out what is real and what is not,” said Susan Kopins, registered dietitian for The Women’s Healthcare Group in Spring Garden Township. To learn the truth, we asked Kopins and Sherry Reck, director of nutrition services at Rest Haven in Spring Garden Township, to give us the straight scoop on some common nutrition myths.
If you need nutrition advice, Kopins recommends speaking with a registered dietitian. A registered dietitian must have a four-year college degree, complete an accredited internship and take an exam to earn the credential. To find a local dietitian for your specific nutrition needs, go to www.EatRight.org and click on “find a registered dietitian.”
28 | smart
MYTH: Skipping meals helps you lose weight. TRUTH: Actually the opposite might be true, Reck said. When you skip meals, your metabolism isn’t getting fueled properly so it slows down, which makes your body want to store fat to preserve itself, Kopins said. Skipping meals also increases your hunger, so it’s easy to overeat at the next meal. MYTH: All carbohydrates are bad and eating them makes you fat. TRUTH: There are good carbs and bad carbs. Fuel up with good carbs — such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lowfat dairy products — which contribute to health and wellness. Too many bad carbs — such as sugary foods, soda, candy, cookies, doughnuts and chips — are the ones that can make you fat. “Limit bad carbs to 100-200 calories per day,” Kopins said. MYTH: Eating eggs will raise your blood cholesterol. TRUTH: Eggs can be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet, Reck said, because they contain high-quality protein and a wide variety of essential vitamins
and minerals. Studies have shown that eating an egg per day should not increase a healthy person’s risk for heart disease. If you have heart disease, limit your egg intake to two whole eggs per week, but eat as many whites as you want, Kopins said. MYTH: Fat-free products have fewer calories and are healthier. TRUTH: When fat is removed, something has to be added to replace the flavor — such as sugar, artificial sweeteners or other chemicals — so the end result could have more calories. Reck and Kopins said people tend to eat more than the recommended serving size of low-fat and fat-free products, so calories add up and foil weight-loss efforts. MYTH: Avoid nuts, because they’re fattening. TRUTH: Nuts are high in calories and fat, but it’s the healthy unsaturated fats. The trick with nuts is to watch your portion size and limit yourself to one serving per day. “Eaten in moderation, nuts can be a great source of protein, fiber and healthy fats,” Reck said.

MYTH: During pregnancy, you’re “eating for two.” TRUTH: “You’re only eating for 1.1,” said Kopins. Gaining too many pounds during pregnancy increases risk for developing preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and gestational high blood pressure. Plus, added weight can slow labor and increase the likelihood of a C-section. All of those risk factors are preventable through managing weight gain and by controlling food intake, she said. MYTH: If your diet is poor, a multivitamin will fix it. TRUTH: Not necessarily. Whole foods offer substances, such as antioxidants, that can’t be replicated in a pill. Reck and Kopins recommend eating lots of whole foods and supplementing with a multivitamin for added protection. MYTH: All fast food is bad. TRUTH: Not anymore. Today’s fast food restaurants are no longer just hamburger joints. Every restaurant has a salad or two and many offer healthy options like grilled meats, fruit, low-fat dairy and whole grain buns.

Spring and summer are seasons of change. “Everyone wants a new look or a pick-me-up,” says Erin McCarthy of the beauty brand Make Up For Ever. “These pastel colors work really well for that. It’s a pop of something fun but it’s not too much, not too scary. It’s a safe experiment.” McCarthy says she saw a lot of peach and pinks on the fashion runways — and they’ve already made it to the street. “It’s a very girlie, feminine look.” Some tips from makeup experts on how to wear these shades:
E
Pick one area to play up, either the eyes, lips or cheeks, says Dominic Driguglio, Stila celebrity makeup artist, but don’t do it all at once. You’ll get the brightest pop on your eyes, he says. Use a bright blue or green shadow on the lid, no eyeliner and lots of black mascara, he says, or, alternatively, you can do a mix of pink, purple and blue shadows — the pink goes in the center of the lid, purple to contour the corners and the blue at the inner corner — with purple eyeliner applied in a subtle cat-eye shape. Colors will appear even brighter if you prep the eye area beforehand with a neutral primer.
CHEEKS A creamy product is easier to blend than a powder, says McCarthy, Make Up For Ever’s education manager. It’ll also look more natural, she adds. She recommends applying blush with your fingers. But, just like with the eyes, you need to even out the skin tone first, says Driguglio. If your complexion has traces of green or yellow, you risk looking

sick if the cheeks are very pink, and pink makeup on very pink skin can make you look tired, he explains. He does, however, recommend sticking to the same color family for lips and cheeks.
LIPS Any lip with a lot of color, be it pink, red, purple or fuchsia, is best complemented with an otherwise neutral face, says E.L.F.’s Dunaway. (Think Sandra Bullock at the Oscars, she says.) The candy-colored lip would go well with another seasonal must-have: the little white dress, she says. For newbies to the world of brighter lipstick, Dunaway suggests starting with a pink that has a noticeable purple undertone. It’s likely going to be lighter and sheerer — and more wearable — than you are expecting, she says. Another way to tone down a deeply pigmented lipstick is to apply a layer of clear gloss on top, Dunaway says, which acts as a filter. Stila’s Driguglio’s favorite shades right now are a youthful watermelon lip gloss or a flirty bubble-gum pink called Giggle that is offered in a lip enamel (which he promises isn’t as sticky as a gloss, so blowing hair in the wind isn’t a problem). They both will announce a new playful, fun-loving attitude, he says. “I think pastels are synonymous with brunch or sundresses. There are no places you can’t wear them, you just have to wear them right.”

Hear sounds you might not have heard in years!
Keeping up on what your neighbors are reading By TARA HAWKINS for Smart
Tara’s Smart Pick
“The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows ISBN 0385340990 Before packing up for vacation, pick up “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” to tuck inside of your beach bag. This charming book is a collection of fictional correspondence sent by Juliet Ashton, an uninspired British author. In search of new material for a book, Juliet builds unlikely relationships with the residents of the remote island of Guernsey. After reading this lovely little tale, you might be inspired to do some non-electronic correspondence of your own, so include a pack of stationery in your luggage.
“Doesn’t She Look Natural” by Angela Elwell Hunt
ISBN 1414311699 This is the first in the three-book Fairlawn series. Who read it? Beverly Glatfelter, Dover Township “The story is about a young, single, unemployed mother of two boys. She inherits a large funeral home in Florida and moves there. She then studies to become a mortician and renovates the huge place. The story is humorous as the story unfolds about the life of one who prepares expired people for burial.”
Proudly Featuring:
The Hearing Journal estimates that only 17% of people with hearing impairments are actually using a hearing aid.
What are you reading? E-mail your picks to yoursmartbook@yahoo.com. Please include your full name and municipality with your recommendation.
“Redemption” by Karen Kingsbury with Gary Smalley ISBN 1414333005 This is the first in a five-book series that follows the Baxter family. It was the 2005 winner of Christian Retailing’s Retailers Choice Award for Best Series. In this first novel, the characters must deal with the aftermath of an extramarital affair. Who read it? Linda Caudill, West Manchester Township “In this book, the Baxters have their faith tested over and over, but they still remain true to God. This book makes you wonder what you would do in their situation. It will make you cry!”

ONE SMART WOMAN
Chance at a new life Humane police officer saves animals, helps people What is the worst situation that you have witnessed? Wow, I’ve seen a lot. But the worst was when a dog was abandoned in her home. The owners separated and left the house. Two dogs were left behind. The only way she survived was by eating the other dog when it died. Thankfully, she is now living a beautiful life.
By TARA HAWKINS for Smart
Have you always wanted to work with animals? Yes. I used to go to work with my mom at a veterinarian’s office. I couldn’t touch the animals, but they would let me help out around the office with filing. I always wanted to be a vet. Why did you choose to become a humane police officer? When I was 18, I answered an ad to be a volunteer at the SPCA. After being there about three months, I began working as an adoption counselor. Later, I started school in Maryland to become a veterinary technician. While there, I realized that people who take their animals to the vet already care for them. I wanted to help those animals that nobody cared about. At 19, I took over the job of humane police officer at the York County SPCA. I’ve been doing it ever since.
Do things like that make it hard to keep doing your job? I love my job. It is nice when these animals get a chance at a new life. A lot of times animals come in very thin. They attach themselves to you because you are now feeding them. Once they regain weight, many become overly aggressive and need to be euthanized. I don’t check up on the animals anymore. It is too hard, but the good stories do help.
What does a humane officer do? I investigate and prosecute cases of cruelty to animals. It might be something as simple as an animal not being fed each day. Other times, an animal might be starving to death. Is the job what you thought it would be? I did think that I would be working with animals, but it turned out to be a lot more about dealing with humans. I get to know a lot of people. I really try to be helpful rather than coming down too hard on them. I see a lot of horrifying things. When you are doing this work, your heart is always involved. I try to put myself in their shoes and try to convince them of what is best for their animals. But, I have to abide by the law. I can only do what a police officer can do. Sometimes, that means that I need to get search warrants. It has personally made me change. I see many harsh things that have made me a different person. I really try to keep a good sense of humor.
What should you do if you suspect that an animal is being mistreated? Contact Boyer at 764-6109. Everything is kept anonymous. If you see animal fighting or physical abuse, immediately call 911.
