Planning Tips for Your Spring Break Trips Writer / Lindsey Thompson Photography Provided

The weeks after Winter Break can drag on and on, especially during an exceptionally cold and dreary winter. A little Spring Break planning can be just the thing to get you out of the winter doldrums and looking forward to some time away. Whether you stay close or travel far, here are some tips for planning your Spring Break trip. 1. Book Early Lots of people travel during Spring Break so booking early assures you can get better flights, hotel rooms and attraction tickets. Schools typically release their yearly calendars at the beginning of the school year, giving you plenty of heads up to book Spring Break early. When you book early, you have a better chance of getting a better deal and making sure you book just the right flight or hotel for your family. The longer you wait to book flights, for example, the less likely you are to get seats together or even be on the same flight. 2. Set a Budget Lay out a travel budget for your Spring Break trip and stick to it. Making family memories on a vacation may be priceless, but taking a trip you can’t afford isn’t worth going into debt. Just like it’s beneficial to book early, it also helps to save early for your Spring Break trip. Spring Break doesn’t fall too far after Christmas, another expensive time for your family budget, so planning ahead allows you to spend money on both. Use a budget management tool like Mint to help you plan and save. 3. Dial into Deals Travel deals abound, you just have to do a little digging to find them. Not just for massages and Thai food deals, Groupon and LivingSocial both have travel sections full of deals. Groupon has a special Spring Break page that offers lots of great ideas and travel deals including Smoky Mountain cabins, indoor water parks and beach getaways. Online travel agencies like Expedia, Travelocity


and Kayak allow you to search for travel deals all around the world. Many even have special Spring Break pages, providing trip suggestions for flights, hotels and activities. If you’ll be traveling by air, some travel experts suggest the best time to purchase airline tickets is on a Tuesday, as prices tend to drop that day each week. Sign up for airline and hotel emails to unlock other deals.

own city. Staying local helps cut down on travel costs and gives you an opportunity to see your town through different eyes. Visit that local museum you’ve never been to, try a new restaurant or cheer on the hometown sports team. Book a local hotel or bed and breakfast, or even find an Airbnb in a different part of town. Just like out-of-town visitors, locals

4. Utilize Apps Tons of apps exist to help take the stress out of Spring Break travel planning. Hopper is an excellent tool for finding the best flights, as the app lets you set up alerts for different itineraries and even allows you to book right from your phone. TripIt helps you keep all your reservations and itineraries organized, putting everything (flights, hotel reservations, car rentals, etc.) right at your fingertips. If you’ll be traveling by car, Roadtrippers takes the hassle out of mapping your route, giving you suggestions for stops along the way and up-to-date road conditions. 5. Think Outside the Box Florida, Mexico, Disney. These might be great Spring Break destinations, but they’re also some of the most popular and most crowded and most expensive. Avoid the crowds and consider an alternative Spring Break destination. Washington D.C. is affordable and offers something for the whole family, from museums to monuments. Sedona, Arizona offers an escape from the cold and amazing outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking. If your passport is up-to-date, consider running for the Northern border and visiting one of Canada’s great cities. Montreal is an eclectic mix of French colonial architecture, Bohemian attitude and modern-day sites. Calgary’s natural beauty and small-town feel makes it a great choice for the outdoorsy type and Niagara Falls has fun for the whole family. 6. Look Local Don’t overlook a Spring Break trip to a local destination or a staycation in your AvonMagazine.com / FEBRUARY 2020 / AVON MAGAZINE / 7

can take advantage of special deals and discounts through organizations like the visitor’s bureau. They often have coupons on their websites and at their offices for attractions, restaurants and hotels. Regardless of where you go or how you get there, with a little planning you can have the Spring Break trip your family will remember for years. Happy planning!

n the mid-90s, Terry Varvel was asked by Paul Strychalski, a member of his church, if he would be willing to dress up like a security guard as part of a comedy/drama performance the church was doing for the community. Varvel agreed and then Strychalski threw out an idea. “I want you to do it as Barney Fife,” he suggested. Varvel, 35 at the time, had been a longtime fan of the "Andy Griffith Show” so he was all in. A police officer friend, Bill Wright, hooked him up with a uniform for the performance. A few months later, Clermont was having a parade that included the Mayberry car from Danville’s Mayberry Cafe. Once again Varvel was asked to play the part of bumbling and loveable Barney Fife, a character that was brought to life by the late Don Knotts. For the parade, Varvel wore a hat, a Mayberry badge, and a new tan uniform that Wright got for him. He quickly settled into character. “I was pretty shy in high school so I never had the nerve to try out for school plays,” Varvel says. By his mid-20s, however, he enjoyed entertaining friends with his Jack Nicholson and George H.W. Bush impersonations. When he was in his 30s, he saw a comedian do a Don Knotts impersonation, soon thereafter, Strychalski asked him to perform in the church show. “Because I’m four inches taller than Don Knotts was and don’t particularly look like him, I try to mimic his voice and his mannerisms,” says Varvel, who continues to work on his craft each time he dons the uniform. For the past three years, he has participated in Danville’s Mayberry in the Midwest, a three-day event that started in 2014 and includes live music as well as tribute artists who mingle with the crowd and reenact scenes from the show. David Browning, who is known as The Mayberry Deputy, played Fife the first three years. Browning and Allan Newsome (who has played Floyd for 27 years) are the two guys who got the tribute artists up and running. One of the tributes is Dixie Griffith, Andy’s daughter, FEBRUARY 2020


"It’s been amazing becoming part of the Mayberry community. It really is a fun job.” - Terry Varvel

who plays one of the “Fun Girls,” along with Michelle Bryson. “Michelle told me recently that I’ve come a long way in the past three years and that made me feel good because I’m always trying to improve what I’m doing,” says Varvel, a lifelong Hendricks County resident, who grew up in Danville. Before his first Mayberry in the Midwest, Varvel reached out to Browning for advice. “He was supportive and told me to just have fun,” Varvel recalls. “‘When you have fun, everyone else will, too. And besides, everyone wants to see Barney.’” At Mayberry in the Midwest, Varvel writes fake citations from his ticket book that includes his photo, email address and phone number so that fans can reach him. Last year as Varvel and his wife, Tonya, were leaving the event, they found a car parked illegally so Varvel wrote out a ticket that said, “You’ve been ticketed by Deputy Barney Fife” and stuck it on the vehicle’s windshield. A few days later, he received an email from the owner who asked if the citation was real. Varvel wrote back and explained that he’s a Barney Fife impersonator.

“But I added, ‘P.S. You were illegally parked, though!’” Varvel says. For the past 25 years, Varvel has transformed himself into Fife for various parties, festivals, parades and community events. There’s an annual

festival in Mount Airy, North Carolina, called Mayberry Days that lasts an entire week. Varvel has participated in the event for the past two years when Kenneth Junkin (Otis) invited him to join the fun. According to Varvel, in total there are about a dozen Mayberry shows and festivals across the country, most of which occur in the south and Midwest. Though most teenagers have no clue who Barney Fife is, a good number of preschoolers are familiar with the character thanks to babysitting grandparents who watch the “Andy Griffith Show” in reruns. There is the occasional 20-something who geeks out to Barney Fife, however. For instance, last September when Varvel was working Mayberry Days, a group of college students told him that they had traveled to North Carolina from Minnesota to attend the festival. Varvel was shocked that they would come from such a distance. “We love the Andy Griffith Show!” they said. “We watch it all the time!” Earlier this fall, Varvel was dressed as Fife for a two-day car show at Conner Prairie. While there, Varvel issued a speeding ticket to “The Munsters” Eddie Munster (Butch Patrick) that was shown on WTHR 13

Sunday Morning News. On the way home, Varvel and his wife decided to grab a meal at the Mayberry Cafe in Danville. Still in uniform, Varvel walked around to a few of the tables, cutting up with the customers. “It was fun, and hey — I got a free meal out of it!” says Varvel with a chuckle. Tracy Whetstone of Visit Hendricks County has asked Varvel to perform as Fife when they have groups meeting at the Mayberry Cafe or a tour bus comes through town with a group of seniors. The owners of the Mayberry Cafe, Brad and Christine Borne, are also big fans of Varvel’s Barney. “They’ve been so supportive of me. I don’t think any of this would have happened if it wasn’t for the Mayberry Cafe,” says Varvel, who this year was also asked to travel to Kentucky to play Fife for a car show. “It was an organization that was raising money for a search-and-rescue team in their town,” says Varvel, who plans to go back in June when they pair the car show with a town celebration. Avon Police Deputy Chief Brian Nugent FEBRUARY 2020

asked Varvel to entertain at Avon’s National Night Out Against Crime for the past two years. It was there that Varvel issued a citation for vagrancy to WTHR 13’s Kelly Greene during one of her location spots. Browning and the Mayberry tribute artists do a big fundraiser every year in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for an organization called Eagle’s Wings that helps adults with special needs. “Those folks are so loving,” Varvel says. “They just love when the tributes come in and do their thing.” Varvel, at 59, is relatively new to the Mayberry community. Several of the other tribute actors were fortunate enough to meet Don Knotts, Andy Griffith and some of the other cast members. Browning even opened Don Knotts’ show in Branson, Missouri, dressed as Barney Fife. “Don Knotts gave the okay for David to be Barney Fife. That’s incredible to me,” says Varvel, who would have loved to have met those guys. He did, however, meet Betty Lynn, the actress who played Thelma Lou. He also met Knotts’ daughter Karen, a comedian who performs a one-act show


called “The Deputy’s Daughter." Varvel does get compensated for some of these appearances, however, it’s not enough to pay the rent so he works as a graphic specialist for 5MetaCom, an ad agency in Indianapolis. Varvel and his wife have two grown children: Alec, who married Natalie in 2018, and Alivia, a recent graduate of Ball State. “It’s been amazing becoming part of the Mayberry community,” says Varvel, who hopes to continue to score more gigs as Fife simply because it makes his heart happy. “It really is a fun job.” This year Mayberry in the Midwest will take place May 15-17. For more information about Varvel or to hire him for a party or event, call 317-4602768 or email tavarvel@gmail.com.

February is

Children’s Dental Health Month! To celebrate Children’s Dental Health Month, Dr. Blair Bumgardner is helping us answer some common questions parents have about teething. What are some common signs of teething?

This February, Dr. Blair Bumgardner and her team will move across the street to 7900 E. US Highway 36 in Avon. The new space will feature larger rooms, convenient parking and a kid-friendly atmosphere. Although our name and address will change, you can expect the same great care from the same great team.

When your child is teething, you’ll often find them chewing on objects or fingers because of their sore and tender gums. The gums may be puffy in the area where the tooth is about to erupt. You’re also likely to see an increase in salivation and, sometimes, a lowgrade fever of around 99°F. Your little one might even be a bit more irritable than usual.

What is the best way for parents to care for emerging teeth? Parents should run a clean, damp washcloth or soft infant toothbrush over your baby’s gums every day. This cleansing can keep bacteria from building up in your baby’s mouth. The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry recommends brushing with a rice-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. If your infant is still feeding at night, brush or wipe erupting teeth once feeding is over. To help alleviate your child’s discomfort, you can use oral pain medications, such as Infant or Children’s Tylenol or Motrin, and chilled teething rings. Over-the-counter teething gels are not recommended.

When should my child see the dentist for the first time? The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend scheduling a dental visit once the first tooth appears and no later than his or her first birthday. Dr. Blair Bumgardner is a board-certified pediatric dentist.

Kevin and Molly Pattison

A Reunited Love Local Couple Finds One Another 21 Years Later Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / H. Cole Photography

FEBRUARY 2020


T

he eighth-grade school trip to Washington, D.C. is all about diving into our country’s history. But for Kevin and Molly Pattison, the trip was historic for another reason. The year was 1991, and the students at Brownsburg Junior High were about to board their flight when Molly, a selfdescribed nerd, discreetly pointed out a cute boy to her mom. Convinced that Kevin Pattison was out of her league, Molly initially admired him from afar. During the trip, however, she worked up the nerve to approach him and when she returned home, she told her mom, ‘Remember that boy I told you

about? He’s my boyfriend now!’” Their first official date involved Kevin’s sister driving them to Applebee’s and then to Lafayette Square Mall. The pair dated for nine glorious months before splitting up. “The last time I saw him was at our high school graduation ceremony in 1996,” Molly says. Though they went on to live separate lives — Kevin joined the Marine Corps and Molly went to Ball State and later earned a degree in Health Information Management from IUPUI — somewhere deep in their hearts, a connection still lingered.

“​I thought of him every year on his birthday. He was born on 7/7/77 so how could I forget?” says Molly, who had dreams of them reuniting. But dreams are just that — fun slices of fantasy reserved for our subconscious. Molly moved on with her life, marrying and having two children. When that relationship faltered, she threw herself into a fitness routine to improve both her physical and emotional well-being. One day in 2012, her gym posted her progress pic on social media. Kevin happened to see it and messaged Molly to congratulate her. “My mouth fell wide open when I heard from him,” Molly says. “It had been 21 years since we were boyfriend and girlfriend, My initial feeling was nervous but then excited.” When Kevin messaged Molly, he hadn’t a clue that she was finalizing her divorce. As it turns out, he was doing the same. In many ways, their lives paralleled each other and, once again, their interest in the other was syncing up. There was just one minor glitch. Kevin was stationed in Japan serving in the Marine Corps. He was about to be sent to California to serve for an additional two years. First, he was coming home for a twoweek visit with family. “I’d like to see you,” Kevin said. As soon as he got back to Indiana, they met up at Arbuckle Acres in Brownsburg. “It was late at night and we hung out on the playground. We thought it would be fun to act like kids again,” says Molly, who confesses that she momentarily lost her breath when she first laid eyes on her eighth-grade sweetheart. As for Kevin, he says, “It felt like we just picked up where we left off — like we never had 21 years in between. It was natural.” The two were inseparable during that twoweek period. “We spent every day together and fell back in love very quickly,” Molly says. “It’s funny. We didn’t even talk about whether we’d date long-distance. We just knew we were going to make it work.” And they did. Molly flew out to California

FEBRUARY 2020


three or four times per year and he flew home once or twice per year. They talked, texted and Skyped daily. On November 5, 2013, after a year and a half of dating, Molly got gussied up and accompanied Kevin to the Marine Corps Ball. Throughout the entire shindig, Kevin concealed an engagement ring beneath his hat. He invited her to go outside in front of the hotel’s giant fountain where he got down on one knee and privately popped the question. When they went back inside, the DJ announced their engagement to a roaring crowd. “It was the coolest thing to have a room full of Marines screaming in celebration,” Molly says.

Marrying meant officially blending their families (Molly had two children from her previous marriage and Kevin had four from his). Thankfully, the transition was rather seamless.


The pair married on July 3, 2015 — exactly 24 years to the date that eighth-grade Kevin penned a letter to Molly while on vacation at his family’s cabin in Connecticut. That letter is framed and sits on the couple’s living room mantle. Sadly, Kevin's dad passed away from cancer eight months before their nuptials. “We honored him by having a chair designated with his picture in the front row of the wedding,” Molly says. “Our first fast dance included our kids and was to “Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Our first slow dance was to “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers — the song Kevin and I danced to for the first time at an eighth-grade dance.” Kevin served in the Marine Corps for

18-plus years, retiring in August 2014. He was stationed in Marine Corps bases in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, Camp Hansen in Okinawa, Japan and Camp Pendleton in California. He did two tours in Iraq. During his Marine Corps career, he also visited South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Brunei, Singapore, Guam and Kuwait. After his retirement ceremony, Kevin and Molly hopped into his two-seater Chevy pick-up truck and drove cross-country along Route 66. They stopped at March Air Field Museum in Arizona, the Grand Canyon, Devil’s Rope Museum in Texas, Cadillac Ranch in Texas and the Blue Whale of Catoosa in Oklahoma. Today the family — Ryan (18), Justin

(16), Mark (15), Taylor (14), Gracie (12) and Emily (12) — resides in Avon. ​ Kevin is a Generator Technician for W.W. Williams, working primarily commercial but also residential generators doing installs, repairs and maintenance. Molly is a coding consultant in the medical field. One of Molly’s all-time favorite memories of her husband is from when they were in eighth grade and shared a Christmas Eve kiss beneath the mistletoe. “It was the best kiss I’ve ever had in my life,” Molly says. “I literally felt like I was lifted off the ground.” Kevin still vividly recalls their first date in eighth grade. He stood in Molly’s entryway, at the bottom of the stairs, wearing a Cubs jersey and holding a single

red rose he had spritzed with Drakkar (the primo cologne of the 90s). Though drawing one in by utilizing olfactory senses certainly works, Molly cites communication as the key ingredient to maintaining a healthy marriage. And to communicate most effectively, Molly suggests learning your spouse’s primary love language. “Mine is physical touch so I like to hold hands, kiss and hug,” she says. “Kevin and I are very affectionate. The kids love it now that they’re teenagers— not! Kevin’s main love language is acts of service. He enjoys when I do little things for him like pack him a lunch or make his favorite dessert.” And we must never underestimate the power of laughter. For instance, during the March 2018 spring break snowstorm, Kevin suggested that they don swimsuits and sunglasses and lounge in the fluffy white stuff for a photoshoot. Molly was all in. “We like to make each other laugh,” Molly says. “I have video of him dancing in the aisle at Walmart on New Year’s Eve. I can be quite the goof as well.” Breakfast Served Until 10:30AM

Neither Molly nor Kevin take for granted this second chance at love that they were given.

FORCING A LITTLE SPRING! Writer / Carrie Petty

Forcing bulbs to bloom indoors in the winter can make gray days feel sunny. Once you experience the satisfaction of forcing blooms in the winter, you’ll likely not let another year pass without planning for your indoor flower oasis. This is a fun and easy process. The bulb already contains everything it needs to grow and bloom. They are self-contained little miracles. Sleeping under the brown, onion-like layers lies enough energy to produce one or two beautifully intricate flowers. A bulb is essentially a self-contained,

underground pantry of food for a bloom. Roots are sent down from the bulbs base to find water and nutrients for stocking the “pantry,” and the stem grows up towards the sun to support the bloom. Once a bloom is finished giving you its full beauty (usually from one to two weeks) the foliage dies back. Often a forced bloom is too poopedto-pop again in the garden, so I put them in the compost bin. Amaryllis, however, can be left to grow out their foliage and this helps to replenish the bulb for another year. The fun begins with the selection of the bulbs. Flowers of the Narcissus family, or Jonquils, Paperwhites, Amaryllis and FEBRUARY 2020

Daffodils, are the easiest for indoor forcing. They are readily available in most garden centers. Select bulbs that are already ‘cooled’ or ready to force. The bulbs you choose should be well developed and hard to a thumb’s press, with no damaged or soft areas. The bigger the bulb, the larger the bloom. The brown paper-like covering should be left on to protect the fleshy layers beneath. Now, all you need is a decorative container, a few small stones, sunshine and water. Select a pot or saucer, which is “watersealed” to protect your furniture. Moisture will build under the dish so put it on a plate


or pretty platter. Always use containers that you love! Place small stones in the base of the dish and arrange you bulbs. I prefer the water method for forcing bulbs. But bulbs planted three-fourths deep in soil, just so the tips peek-out works perfectly. Once the bulbs are in the dish, just fill with water about one-third the way up. A great little tip is to place a small piece of charcoal under the stones, this helps keep the water supply fresh!

Place you beautiful dish in a sunny window and keep an eye on the water level each day. Within a few weeks you will be greeted with happy green sprouts. I love every, single growing stage. And I love having the fresh, crisp color of garden green in my kitchen window. It is crazy to me that the bloom is sound asleep inside the bulb, just waiting to come out! This is a fantastic task to do with children, it teaches them to take care of nature and to appreciate the beauty that surrounds them each day. Taking pleasure in the smallest of miracles.

To make your indoor blooms even more interesting, I suggest you sprinkle grass seed on top of bulbs planted in soil. Grass takes about seven to 12 days to germinate (when the seed breaks open and shoots emerge). I love having grass seed around for dinner party planters and special little pots placed at the head of each plate for place card holders. Gardening is a year-around event in the Petty household. Forcing flowers in the winter, it’s all a part of helping to teach you, “How to Grow a Beautiful Life!”

Writer / Stephanie Weber Photographer / Collin Weber

I don’t know about you, but I feel like the temperature in Indy dropped drastically this year. I was ready for the change in weather though because my chunky knit sweaters were calling my name, although I might have a different opinion as the weather gets colder. If you’re like me, you’re probably having a slightly difficult time rolling out of bed in the morning to get dressed for the day. Your warm bed probably sounds much better

than putting on your work clothes and heading out into the crisp winter morning. To give you some inspiration, I wanted to share a few winter trends that are easy to include in your wardrobe this year. 1. STATEMENT JACKETS

I have to be honest in saying that I don’t always love to feel like a marshmallow in my winter coat and driving in it is the worst. It does keep me warm, but it’s great to have some variety with statement coats. We’ve seen the teddy jacket all over Instagram and Pinterest so that’s the one FEBRUARY 2019 2020

I’m adding to my coat closet this year. It’s soft, generally not too bulky and easy to layer. Statement coats are great for the day when you want to actually wear your coat as part of your outfit. 2. SHERPAS

Oh, they’re back! And still just as cozy. This was a trend we saw in every store last winter. It seemed like these oversized, cuddly pullovers were designed in every color, with pockets or without pockets. Sherpas are great for your weekend running around or your evening routine with your kiddos.


seeing a little bit of everything when it comes to animal print this year. Snakeskin booties or mules have been hugely popular with cowl neck cardigans and denim. I personally own at least three leopard sweaters or cardigans and a couple of shoes in the print. It’s neutral enough to be dressy and not overstated.

3. PLEATED SKIRTS

Now hear me out before you think, “no way.” Pleated skirts were seen all over the runways for winter this year. They are being styled with sweaters, band tees and moto jackets, turtlenecks and statement coats. I personally love these skirts because the length is appropriate for work or cocktail hour and the 6. SHADES OF BROWNS shoe possibilities are endless to complete the look. These skirts are also great for the holiday It feels like we went back to the 70s for this color to become a trend again, but designers are parties you have coming up. eating it up. Brown is one of those colors that I like because it’s different and can be used in a 4. OVERSIZED CARDIGANS variety of staple pieces. From sweaters to pants Sweater weather, cardi party, whatever term to dresses, you can find this shade in all of it. works for you, cardigans are in! It seems that the more oversized they are, the better. I personally 7. SLOUCHY BOOTS style these chunky knits with a striped long The boots I’m wearing here are some of my sleeve tee underneath and my comfortable favorite of all time. They combine two trends Hudson denim from Evereve. You’ll also find that I’m generally wearing a comfortable bootie with the plaid print and it’s funny how much these actually go with. Slouchy boots are great of some type for a relaxed look. with skirts or denim. 8. BLAZERS

5. ANIMAL PRINT

Hello zebra, leopard and snakeskin. We are

essential. I personally rock blazers with band tees, lace tanks, regular white tees or even over sweaters. You can do so much with this piece in your daily life and transition it across seasons so, for me, it’s a must. 9. PLAID

It’s the last trend I want to highlight, but probably one of the most relatable for those of us in Indy who enjoy a good sweater or cardigan layered with our favorite plaid flannel, curled up by the fire, sipping a White Russian. You can see the picture I’m painting and likely have a plaid in your closet right now. So, cheers to you, you’re on trend. Winter fashion is a great time to play with layers, new colors and even a fun print or two. If you’re wondering more about how to style these trends you can visit trendyinindy. com or head on over to Pinterest for some inspiration. Cheers to winter trends at their best!

Bring on the blazers because this is a wardrobe

What to Do If a Loved One is Having a Heart Attack Dr. Omar Batal, Cardiology

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 790,000 Americans have a heart attack each year. A heart attack can happen to anyone at any moment. Dr. Omar Batal, cardiologist at IU Health West Hospital, provides steps to take if you believe your loved one is having a heart attack. Call 9-1-1 Symptoms are usually more-than-mild (moderate or severe) chest pain, or discomfort in the middle of the chest that is unprovoked (sudden onset) and lasts more than 15 minutes (or if it resolves, comes back with activity). Sometimes symptoms can be tricky and perceived as chest burning, arm pain, throat pain or back pain, but would be sudden in onset and outside of a person’s comfort level. First and foremost, dial 9-1-1. Do not drive your loved one to the hospital if they are experiencing symptoms or discomfort. It is important to begin treatment right away, and emergency responders can begin treating your loved one in the ambulance. Stay on the line with the dispatcher and wait for their instructions

until the ambulance arrives. While your initial reaction might be to physically try and help them, it’s important to understand that you are helping your loved one by getting them medical attention as soon as possible. Use aspirin If you know your loved one is not allergic to aspirin, give them one aspirin (325 mg) to swallow or chew. Aspirin helps to prevent blood clots, which can lead to a heart attack. When someone is having a heart attack, the aspirin works to keep their blood flowing. Have your loved one chew the aspirin to speed up the effects. Perform CPR If your loved one is unconscious, the 9-1-1 dispatcher may advise you to begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until help arrives. The American Heart Association recommends performing chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. While performing CPR, you can time compressions to the tempo of the song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees. Consider participating in a CPR training workshop - you never know when you’ll need to use it. Aside from knowing what you can do if your loved one is having a heart attack, it’s just as important to be familiar with the signs of a heart attack. The most common symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain, shortness of breath, light-headedness, pain in the jaw, neck, or back, and pain in the arms or shoulders.

Seven Simple Steps to Fall in Love With Your Home Again Writer / Claire-Anne Aikman

It happens to the best of us. We spot something in a store, fall in love, purchase it and bring it home - then, after a while, it collects dust and no longer makes us smile. It is easy to handle falling out of love with an item here or there, but what happens if that item is your home? In this month of Hallmark love, I have seven simple steps to help you fall back in love with your home. 1. Grab a bag. Walk through your home and find 20 items that no longer make you smile. Your targets are the items that are tucked away for no real reason. Be mindful, these must be your items and not items belonging to another family member (although I will give bonus points if every member packs a bag). Take the bags immediately to the car for donation.

2. Repurpose with a purpose. Move your furniture around. Don’t let yourself be confined to rearranging in one room. Think big-picture - can a spare chair go into a bedroom? What about a desk or two used as a shared homework or office space? Finally, look at the old dresser you have in your garage. Paint can work wonders - paint it a bright color and place it in your entryway as a storage station for mittens, hats, pup gear, etc. 3. Add plants. I like to believe I have a green thumb, but I am pretty sure plants cringe when they see me coming. Over the years I have managed to find plants that are resilient and manage to look somewhat healthy in my home - with some research I am confident you can as well. 4. Tend to the small pesky items that annoy you. If you feel frustrated every time you walk past that crooked cabinet door,

FEBRUARY 2020


loose trim or torn-up screen, take a few minutes to fix them and you will remove the negative feeling that goes with them as well. 5. Use unexpected things to store stray items. I love a good bowl (a trait I am sure I inherited from my mother). In addition to being practical, they make great catch-alls, and when they are full, it is fun to sift through the oddities and start over. Check out nearby thrift and antique stores for festive bowls. I also love Mason jars - so much so, that I arranged a row of them on my bathroom windowsill and place makeup items in them. 6. Bring on the scents. I personally love vanilla. It reminds me of baking and it seldom smells too heavy. Place your scent in a candle warmer, and enjoy as it drifts through your home. 7. Add some art. This doesn’t need to be expensive - I personally love art created by kids. Explore Pinterest ideas on how to display art from the kids in your life - find one that works for you and brighten your walls and tables.

Living Well with Heart Failure Disease Heart Failure, sometimes called a "weak heart," is a serious and progressive disease that develops over time and is defined simply as: A heart that is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's demands. If left untreated, the inadequate blood flow causes the organs to progressively fail. This can result in numerous medical complications which reduces quality of life. According to the American Heart Association (AHA) and the Heart Failure Society of American (HFSA), about 6 million Americans are living with heart failure, and 670,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. The symptoms of heart failure vary, but can include shortness of breath; swelling of the feet, ankles, legs or abdomen, or weight gain; tiredness, fatigue; lack of appetite, nausea; confusion or impaired thinking and increased heart rate. The goal of treatment for heart failure is to have the heart beat more efficiently so that it can meet the energy needs of the body. Depending on the severity of heart failure, there may be many treatment choices that can help patients live longer and feel better. Lifestyle modification is one of the most important aspects a person can incorporate to treat heart failure. Some of these lifestyle changes include diet, exercise, fluid regulation and weight maintenance. When considering diet, reading food labels and paying close attention to sodium intake becomes crucial. Restricting salt and fluid intake is often recommended because of the tendency of fluid to accumulate in the lungs and surrounding tissues, which puts a greater strain on the heart. Individuals with heart failure are usually advised an intake of no more than 2 grams (2000mg) of sodium per day.

Having heart failure does not mean restricting activity. In fact, exercise is essential to help strengthen the heart. Exercise helps increase energy levels and makes the whole body healthier, which helps you feel better and live longer. As a general rule, try and eat a small snack at least one hour before exercise. When eating a small to large meal, you would want to do so 3-4 hours before exercising. During exercise you would always want to pay attention for symptoms of overexertion which would include tightness in the chest or pain anywhere in your body, lightheadedness, dizziness or confusion, nausea, shortness of breath that is worse than usual, extreme tiredness or weakness and a racing heartbeat. If one was to have any of these symptoms, you would want to stop exercising and call your health care provider. An important tool for monitoring an appropriate fluid balance is the tracking of body weight. An increase in body weight of 2-3 pounds over 2-3 days should prompt a call to your physician. Avon Health & Rehabilitation has a dedicated medical team of Physicians, Nurses, Therapist, Dietitians, Case Managers and Pharmacy Technicians that are committed to assisting individuals in the management and treatment of symptoms associated with Heart Failure Disease so you can be Living Well soon.
