Health and Happiness in YoCo. BY KEVIN J. SCHREIBER PRESIDENT & CEO, YORK COUNTY ECONOMIC ALLIANCE Happy summertime, YoCo! It’s hard to choose just one season to love, but I think most would agree it’s summer. Despite the humidity (a woeful time for curly-haired individuals like me), there is no better season to begin a healthy lifestyle, and no better place than YoCo. For me personally, it’s bee season. I’m a new graduate of the Horn Farm Apiary Institute (not it’s actual name, but it has a nice ring). I spent over a year now learning the ins and outs of beekeeping and am proud to have a successful first hive not only survive but flourish this past frigid winter. Beekeeping has a lot of benefits, but is also my favorite activity to get outside, be active, and be mindful. I polled some of our ambassadors and community partners to ask what YoCo activity they have that fulfills the same: “I like to keep my mind busy by crafting my boutique cigar box pocketbooks. I’ve been creating and selling these “no two are alike” cigar box pocketbooks for the past few months now and they have been a huge hit with women!”
“Relaxing mentally is having fun with friends and going to local vineyards, such as Allegro Winery, Cassel Vineyards of Hershey, Waltz Vineyards, and Grandview Vineyard. They are beautiful locations, produce wines mostly from their own grapes, and are run primarily by family or the owner is usually on the property.”
— Renae Morgan, Members 1st Federal Credit Union “As an HR representative, I always encourage employees to take advantage of our Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is one of the ways I practice self-care. After I have taken care of everyone and everything, I check in with my practitioner to rejuvenate, talk about things that have overwhelmed me, and take great pleasure in receiving feedback or innovative ways to approach life.”
— Patty Bowen, Penn State York (and Great Grapes Tour!) “The gym every weekday morning…and scuba diving as often as possible!” — Rick Holberg, Holberg Design “We never miss a First Friday in Downtown York. It is refreshing to see everyone out and about and the businesses getting involved by hosting specials and live music. Sitting on Beaver Street outside Holy Hound with a drink is our favorite place to be!”
— SonJa Holland, FedEx Ground, Lewisberry “Running with my pups on the Rail Trail in nice weather is a definite positive for me. I must say, however, that aerial yoga is my passion. It is my go-to for physical, mental, and emotional well-being! I scheduled a class with our staff on a Sunday, and many of them have started taking yoga now too.”
— Casey Herrmann, Seton Hall University School of Law “Physically, I was never a ‘gym guy,’ but at my age, I just try to stay fit so I do one exercise when I wake up every morning to get the blood flowing. I also enjoy hanging out at Mike Black’s ‘man cave’ with a diverse group of hilarious friends that keep you humbled and keep life in perspective. Also being involved with my daughters’ lives gives me peace and satisfaction.”
— Amy Roller Haines, Heritage Valley Federal Credit Union “My favorite activities are shooting basketball with my six grandsons, playing golf with my husband, and dancing. To keep emotional stability in my life, I must have family and friends to laugh and cry with.”
— Steve Gohn, CBY Systems Inc.
— Kelly Overlander, HB McClure No matter WHAT your love of live may be, get out in YoCo and enjoy! Cheers,

EVERYTHING GOOD ABOUT FOOD AND GROWING A HEALTHY BUSINESS IN YoCo BY MICHAEL VYSKOCIL YRK CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC FORBERGER
Good food, good health—we hear these two phrases used often in connection with another. But sourcing those healthful food options—finding the food you trust and taking the time to prepare it—can sometimes seem elusive. Locally Seasoned’s Chef Liza Naylor is hoping to change that perception. Her business offers customizable cuisine for busy families and professionals through a home meal and kitchen culinaria delivery service, box lunches for businesses and groups, cooking classes, and information sharing.
EMPOWERED FOR FOOD AND FLAVOR Growing up in a multicultural household, Naylor learned about and cooked dishes reflecting the cuisine and flavors of international cultures. Her exposure to global ingredients and preparation techniques also shaped an introduction to the interconnectedness of food and wellness. Naylor gained an even deeper appreciation and understanding about the connection between food and health while caring for family members who were facing health challenges. She witnessed how a person’s diet can impact one’s health. After moving to YoCo to raise her family, she quickly got involved in the community through Scouts, the York County Food Alliance’s “Squash Hunger,” York’s Farm to City Dinner and the openings of the former Healthy World Café and the current Leg Up Farmers Market. Following a career as a personal chef, Naylor decided she wanted to pursue a deeper avenue for “empowering York and my community, and equipping people with knowledge,” she says. Joseph Cervenak, an attendee at one of her Leg Up Farmers Market cooking classes, encouraged her to consider Susquehanna SCORE to help her develop and refine her business approach. Through meetings with Susquehanna SCORE mentors and participation in the York County Economic Alliance’s small business roundtable sessions, Naylor says she felt empowered to commit resources and time to her business Locally Seasoned. 08 YoCo CONNECT | MAY/JUNE 2019 | YCEAPA.ORG
LOCALLY SEASONED FEATURE
EXPANDING YoCo’S PALATE
Marinated chicken simmers in a roasted tomato sauce with rose petal harissa and a touch of dark chocolate. Carrots in a rich but sweet curry broth complement a robust red cabbage and brown rice pairing. A crisp puff pastry pillow cradles sweet potatoes topped with goat cheese cream, jalapenos, and crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds. These dishes represent only a sampling of the creations that come from Locally Seasoned’s kitchen, which currently shares space behind the Chapel Church off Cape Horn Road in Red Lion. The YoCo location gives Naylor and her team access to meal-delivery clients in Hanover, York, Columbia, Lancaster, Harrisburg, and Hershey, as well as communities along the Mason-Dixon Line, Hereford, and Parkton, Maryland. “There isn’t a spice mix or a sauce we don’t make in house,” she adds. Ingredients that go into Locally Seasoned’s creations are sourced as local as possible: Godfrey Bros. Meats in Loganville and Leg Up Farmers Market are just two examples of purveyors that provide her ingredients. Naylor also relies on the help of two food professionals—registered dietitian Marta Smith and Ellen Gibb, a sensory evaluator and food and flavor technologist who worked for McCormick and Company for close to 30 years—for nutritional and flavor analysis of the dishes and offerings under the Locally Seasoned brand. “With her creativity and use of spices and flavors, you’re tasting the natural goodness of the food itself,” Smith says. While working as a registered dietitian in the health care system, Smith says she encountered patients who needed to eat healthy meals but may not have always been physically able to go shopping and get fresh fruits and vegetables to prepare them. “A lot of so-called convenience meals aren’t always healthy choices, but with Locally Seasoned, you get Liza’s vision for fresh, healthy foods,” she says. “Her passion for what she does is so large that it makes you say, ‘I want to be on the journey she’s on.’ She takes the time to leave personalized notes for her customers, and you can tell that she wants to be connected to them,” Gibb adds. “She’s really helping the local economy by buying from local suppliers and introducing these local suppliers to her customer base.“ “I want to expand the palate of York County so that people can try new flavors and foods from around the world,” Naylor says. “Locally Seasoned is truly a group effort. It really has been made possible through the love and passion of my friends and the community. The connection between food and health is spreading like wildfire, and I want Locally Seasoned to continue to be that ambassador for everything good about food.”

YWCA
INFUSING YoCo WITH MINDFULNESS STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATHERINE ROQUE MARKETING COORDINATOR, YORK COUNTY ECONOMIC ALLIANCE
YCEA met with YWCA York’s Christen Coscia, a registered 200-hour yoga teacher, and educator with extensive training in mindfulness. The YWCA is home to the “one heart yoga and wellness studio,” which will officially launch in August. Currently, they share yoga and mindfulness practices with their own staff, victim services clients, teachers and children in Pre-K counts program, and teens. The community is always invited to join the yoga and aquatic programs offered at the YWCA, with new sessions beginning this summer. They also hold “yoga for justice” events led by Dr. Monea Abdul-Majeed as a way to bring people to together in the community in a welcoming, inclusive space. For those interested in bringing mindfulness training to their workplace, contact Christen directly. Mindfulness training supports health, resilience, community building, and positive social changes. Yoga helps manage stress and the complex demands of living in our busy world. Christen and Dr. Monea guide readers through some easy ways to be mindful and peaceful in the course of a busy day.
Q: Can you give us some background info on “One Heart Yoga and Wellness Studio”? A: We believe that everyone should have equal access to yoga and mindfulness practices which we know support health, resilience, community building, and positive social change. We want to be known as a welcoming, inclusive studio space where people can feel comfortable trying yoga for the first time. Our classes are trauma-informed. Participants can move at their own pace and make their own choices about their practice. We also hold “Yoga for Justice” events led by Dr. Monea Abdul-Majeed, our racial justice coordinator and yoga teacher, as a way of using the practice of yoga to bring people together and build a greater sense of connection in our community.
Q: How does yoga help with creating a healthy body, mind, and spirit? A: The word yoga means union. Practicing yoga helps to build greater self awareness. Yoga is a wonderful tool for managing stress and the complex demands of living in our busy world. By focusing on the breath and the body during yoga, you can develop a sense of strength and calm on the inside. For these reasons, we share yoga and mindfulness practices across YWCA York. We offer classes to our own staff and for those we serve: our Victim Services clients, the teachers and children in our Pre-K Counts program, and some work we are doing with teens. Q: Along with the Yoga Studio, is there anything else the YWCA offers as part of healthy living? A: Our Aquatics Center offers aqua exercise classes in our warm water pool. We also recently offered a series of paddle board yoga classes which were a big hit. In addition, we also have begun to share our mindfulness work with the community by offering trainings to businesses and organizations.
Q: How can anyone in the community get involved in any of the healthy living activities provided by the YWCA? A: Our summer session begins in early June and classes can be purchased individually with a punch card or with the full aquatics and yoga monthly membership. For those with an interest in bringing mindfulness trainings to their workplace, they can contact me directly.
Q: What is the future of “One Heart Yoga and Wellness Studio”? A: We are currently piloting special yoga classes over the summer: Yoga for the Beginner, Candlelight Yoga, and Yoga for Better Sleep, just to name a few. We will officially launch the new studio in August.

To begin, take a moment to connect with your breath. Bring one hand to your belly and one to your chest. Follow a few slow inhales and exhales.
Gently lift and lower your chin several times as you breathe in and out.
Continue to breathe smoothly as you move your head right and left several times, looking over each shoulder.
Now gently tilt your head side to side, allowing your ear to move down toward your shoulder, side to side.
Bring your hands to your shoulders for some gentle shoulder circles in one direction and then the other.
Sitting up tall, bring your hands to the right side of your chair and turn slowly in that direction for a gentle spinal twist. Continue to breathe and then release back to center. Repeat the twist to the left.
Bring the left ankle to your right knee. Lean forward for a gentle stretch. Repeat with the right ankle to the left knee.
Bring your elbows to your knees and lean forward. If you’d like, you might round forward and release your hands down toward the floor.
Close your practice by bringing your awareness back to your breathing. Follow a few cycles of breath.

STRESSED? READ THIS. [ H i n t : We ’ re A l l S t re s s e d ]
STORY BY KATIE MAHONEY VICE PRESIDENT, MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS YORK COUNTY ECONOMIC ALLIANCE PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATIE MAHONEY
BEBALANCED RAISES AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HORMONAL BALANCE “I feel more like myself” is what multiple clients tell Paget Rhee, owner and Hormone Balancing Specialist with BeBalanced Hormone Weight Loss Centers. She understands; she’s someone who was raising three teenagers and working two jobs. “I didn’t even know who I was. I had gained a significant amount of weight. I had no energy, was not sleeping, and was feeling very low,” she states. That motivation spurred her into bringing BeBalanced into the York, Harrisburg East, and Camp Hill markets. We sat down and asked her about healing the body, mind, and spirit. Q: Tell us what exactly BeBalanced does. A: What we do is biohack. This is the science of changing the environment around you and inside you so you have more control over your own biology. In order to improve hormone levels, we have to understand our stress level and how that impacts your body. This includes diet, stress management, gut health, and more to impact hormone imbalance. Stress is the first issue to address in understanding our bodies. In order to balance our hormones, we have to understand that stress isn’t just mental. Internal, medical, or surgical procedures; diabetes; and heavy workouts all are interpreted as stress. Our goal is to help people identify that overload in their lives. Just because you do your job well doesn’t mean your body isn’t seeing stress. Your body doesn’t know if it’s a wedding or a funeral. Good or bad stress are interpreted the same. 16 YoCo CONNECT | MAY/JUNE 2019 | YCEAPA.ORG
BEBALANCED
Q: I would think we all have stress! Does anyone ever deny that they do? A: It’s the signs of stress that people sometimes miss — a lack of sleep, joint pain, weight gain or feeling hopeless. You don’t realize you’re in distress until you start feeling better. We work with a lot of breast cancer survivors who have been through immense stress as well as women with fertility issues. Of course, those struggling to lose weight and not understanding that cortisol and stress are contributing to all those obstacles are also important.
tell them to tell your family you require time to relax, that you require certain foods, and that it requires you to take charge of you.
Q: Can you elaborate on the cortisol and stress component? It seems like we hear those buzzwords a lot but may not really understand them. A: Absolutely. Cortisol works as a buffer for stress. It tells you that you’re OK and actually keeps your body from going into an emergency state. We’re dealing with so many different ways hormonal imbalances can occur. Most of us just think of menopause and hormones, but due to stress, a hormone imbalance can happen at any age to men and women.
It is a commitment to changing your life. It’s not a diet; it’s a true change. After that initial four-week period of relaxation, cleaning up Candida, and weight loss where woman lose 15 to 20 pounds, the second phase is rebuilding your diet to maintain your loss, bring back strength resistance training, and do a food sensitivity testing. Get a good, healthy base, then reintroduce foods slowly, taking stress off the body. There are more phases to the rebuilding that include additional nutritional instruction. This is so much more than weight loss. It is hormone balance that affects your weight, sleep, energy and more. It is important that our clients use this opportunity as a springboard to make the significant life changes that allow them to fulfill their purpose and we challenge our clients. What else can you accomplish? What’s next when you leave our doors? Q: What are the major takeaways you hope our readers remember? A: Hormone balance affects everything in your life, not just a diet.
Q: Are your programs only for women? A: Not at all. We welcome men as well (they forget they have hormones, too!). They also see results like weight loss, lower blood pressure and lower blood sugar, better energy, and sexual health. We’ll have husband and wife teams that decide to make this lifestyle change together or groups of friends that go through the program together, and instead of meeting for happy hour drinks, they meet for a group walk instead.
• Wellness is holistic. It’s not just food in, food out. • We are natural, never synthetic. • Before you take measures like weight loss surgery, come see us. This healthy approach is challenging, but incredibly effective. We’ll support you along the way. • Just come in! We run a special for Nurses’ Month (May) or for teachers during the summer.
Q: How can our readers begin this process? A: There’s a hormone assessment on the website, but people can just come in and have a conversation. We support our clients: they call or text us. We walk so many women through this journey. They take care of everyone else, but themselves. I challenge them for 14 weeks and

Wrightsville Borough STORY BY DAVID GONZALEZ JR. MANAGER, ADVOCACY YORK COUNTY ECONOMIC ALLIANCE
In continuing with spreading the YoCo love throughout our county, the York County Economic Alliance (YCEA) facilitates municipal highlights to celebrate, provide exposure to, and discuss issues municipalities across the county are facing.
The discussion was followed by a tour of businesses and sites of interest for development. Guests had the chance to experience Wrightsville by touring DONSCO, a manufacturer that employs over 350 people; visiting Sue’s Food Market, a locally operated grocer; and stopping in at Cycle Works, a full-service bicycle shop that also features a coffee shop.
YCEA engaged Wrightsville Borough officials in programming to organize a visit to Wrightsville Borough. The borough has a population of 2,300 people and sits on the western banks of the Susquehanna River.
The day concluded at Long Level Marina for YCEA’s Business After Hours, where guests took boat rides and toured the marina.
Leaders in business, along with county and state government officials, attended the visit. The start of the day included a discussion at the Burning Bridge, where guests learned about current efforts going on in Wrightsville and an overview of opportunities. Many countywide and statewide organizations shared what efforts they have been a part of in Wrightsville or what they could offer for future growth of the borough.
As a part of the strategic affiliation with Downtown Inc, YCEA will continue to strive to lend support to Main Street communities across YoCo with technical expertise in urban landscaping, business development, targeted programming and many other specialties. By having experts in Main Street programming within our organization, our affiliation will dive even deeper into municipalities to provide support and guidance.
DID YOU KNOW? In the summer of 1863, the Confederate Army had captured York and had planned to cross the former Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge to advance into Lancaster, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia. The Union Army stopped their advancement by setting the bridge on fire. The flames destroyed the bridge and halted the plan for the Confederacy to advance east, effectively redirecting their efforts to Gettysburg and altering the Civil War’s outcome. The Veterans Memorial Bridge, which stands today, replaced the bridge to connect the Wrightsville and Columbia communities. The Wrightsville community hosts Bridgebust, an arts and crafts festival. About 300 antique, crafts, arts, and food vendors take over the bridge for a full day. The 31st annual event will be held this year on October 5. 20 YoCo CONNECT | MAY/JUNE 2019 | YCEAPA.ORG
