In June 2003, Pam Young oLancaster Township, took a riskand started her own promotionalproducts company. My company,Unique Innovations Inc., is a 100

percent woman-owned business,specializing in promotionalproducts, corporate/team apparel,and online store programs, explains

oung. Young turned 59 on Feb. 7.

During her childhood, she livedin three dierent parts o southcentral Pennsylvania. She was bornin Hanover in 1952. Four yearslater, she and her amily moved to

ork, and when she was 14, theymoved to Lancaster.I have been in Lancaster since

1966 and consider Lancaster theplace I grew up and my hometown,says Young.

I was caught up in the 90sdownsizing or (a local) company Iwas with at that time, so I decidedto see what else might be available.I was reading the paper and sawan article how a local woman, whoowned an ad specialty company,had recently expanded. I sent a noteoering my congratulations on herexpansion, and i she be interestedin expanding her s ta also. The rest,as they say, is history, says Young.

Yet, that move rom working ora corporation to working or an adspecialty company had its challengestoo. Young was used to a regularsalary and now she had to earn herincome via straight commission. It

took a bit o getting used to, butnow, I wouldnt have it any otherway, she explains.

Young sees that Boomershave contributed to society bythe vast amount o changes intechnology, medicine, music, andcommunications, which she fndsascinating to watch. She also fndsgetting discounts as a Boomer to bea plus too.

What is Youngs best piece oadvice to other Boomers? I dont

know i this applies strictly to mygeneration, but I would tell peoplenot to ear change. Just because

something has always been done acertain way does not mean it cannotbe improved upon, states Young.

And she advises Boomers thatage is but a number. Go out andlive lie to its ullest each day.Dont be araid to try new things.And always, have a good time withwhatever you are doing!

Young and her signifcant other,

John Cullen, live in Lancaste Township. Cullen is Youngnumber one supporter and soundin

board. She also has a son, Andy, 31,who lives in Lancaster and started working or his mom when thebusiness was in its inancy. He dida wonderul job or me as the salesmanager or almost three years. Hisfrst love, however, has always beenthe restaurant business. I am veryproud to say he is now the bakeryand marketing manager or PaneraBread, Eastern District o Pa.

Young enjoys her entrepreneurialsuccess with her woman-ownedbusiness. She exemplifes a Boomerwoman through her ingenuity, loveo lie, and willingness to take arisk.

Unique Innovations is a proud member o the marketing team

or Lancaster Lightning Football, a minor league team based in

Lancaster. We brainstorm with other team members to help

LLF to become more visible, increase attendance at games, andraise sponsorship monies, says Young.

Specifcally, Young and her company works with the teams

owner, Shane Houser, with clothing or the teams online store

program. Her company will be handling the order processing

and ulfllment or LLF.

We, then, had the clothing either screened or embroidered

and provided the models or photography and assisted at the

photo shoot, states Young.

Its hard not to love Maggie.Shes cute, friendly, cuddly,dependable, loyal and a math whiz.Maggie was abandoned on a coldFebruary evening and was taken tothe Humane League of LancasterCounty. She was the cutest7-week-old puppy with black and

hite spots, says Mark Stoner,She is one of the joys of my life.

Some people think Maggie isa mixed breed of a cockapoo and

ibetan terrier, others say she ispart poodle. Whatever the breed,this sweet, furry dog makes adifference in the lives of at-riskteens at the Lancaster County Youthntervention Center(LCYIC) and

many patients at Lancaster GeneralHospital (LGH).

Mark Stoner, 52, was bornin Akron, one of five children.Although he was raised on a small

farm with plenty of pets and annuallitters of puppies, Maggie has beenhis only pet as an adult.

We are a close knit family withMennonite cultural traditions, hesays. I always sought opportunitiesto volunteer in the community.When the Red Cross establisheda pet therapy program I felt it wassomething my pet and I could dotogether.

Stoner graduated from Ephrata

High School. He earned a Bachelorsof Science degree from Penn State

ith additional training in graphic

design, he is currently the seniorart director at Godfrey Advertisingin Lancaster, business to businessagency.

Requirements for pet therapyinclude annual shots, goodbehavior and passing a test similarto the AKC Canine Good Citizenprogram with some additions. Dogand owner go through training, aretested as a team and are prepared tohandle unexpected situations. Wewere then observed by the AnimalAssisted Therapy (ATT) instructorin a real visitation setting.

Jane Richter, who is in chargeof the Red Cross Pet Therapyprogram says, Mark is one of ourmost steadfast volunteers and hasbeen with us for 12 years. He hasa wonderful personality, we are allproud of his efforts.

Maggie gets excited as soon asthey arrive at her workplace. Sheloves her job. If she could talk, shemight say, please pet me, youcan talk to me, Im listening, and

maybe even dont forget to give mea hug.

Stoner meets juveniles as agroup for about an hour and ahalf; after allowing the kids topet Maggies furry coat, they do afew tricks. Maggie jumps throughhoops, responds immediately tocommands and loves math. Shecan add, divide and calculate squareroots, says Stoner. My mom was

a math teacher, so it figures thatI would train my pet to bark thecorrect answers.

Our juveniles are 10-18 yearold boys and girls in detentionor shelter, says Bryan Hubbard,director of the Youth InterventionCenter. Mark and Maggie providea familial environment that relaxestension. While observing therelationship of the owner to hispet, they see an important level ofresponsibility and caring.

Dawn Rissmiller, the volunteercoordinator at LGH notes thatwhen Mark and Maggie walk down

the hall, they are often stopped asvisitors and staff alike smile and askfor permission to pet her.

Rissmiller says, Nurses indicate which patients can benefit frompet therapy. The experience oftenhelps them come out of their shell.The hospital restricts pet therapy incertain areas, such as intensive care,pediatrics or infectious disease.

On alternate weeks, Stoneralso goes to nursing homes andgoes door-to-door for one-on-

one therapy. Its a great tensionreliever, he says. We actuallyparticipated in a study that showeda decrease in blood pressure durinour visits.

Stoner is aware that this outreachprogram is always appreciated andmakes a difference. The children gea chance to spend time with mansbest friend; hospitalized patientsand the elderly wipe away theirtears and begin to smile as they feelsome relief from their pain.

Dont let allergies or asthma spoil a summer soireeSummertime means outdoor fun at

eddings, graduations, festivals and picnics.But uninvited guests ranging from stinginginsects to grass pollen can ruin the fun for

the millions of Americans with allergies andasthma.

Allergies and asthma can lead to sneezing,heezing and itchy misery - and sometimes

more serious reactions - turning a joyousoccasion into agony.

By planning ahead, people withallergies can still enjoy outdoor events,says Dr. Myron Zitt, past president of theAmerican College of Allergy, Asthma andmmunology (ACAAI).

ACAAI and its allergist members suggestfollowing a few simple tips to make summersoirees more enjoyable:

1Treat before you go.Take allergymedication before walking out thedoor. If you wait until symptoms

kick in, the medication wont be nearly as

effective.

2Go undercover. Big, wrap-aroundsunglasses help keep pollen fromgetting into your eyes.

3Avoid bees. If youre allergic to beesor other stinging insects, avoidance isyour best bet. Keep your distance from

uncovered food, be cautious of open softdrink cans and resist wearing bright clothingor perfume, all of which attract bees. Ifsomeone near you gets stung, move away- some bees give off a chemical after theysting that can attract other stinging insects.

4Be cautious at the foodtable. Avoid foods in whichnuts, dairy and other common

allergens can be lurking, such as

mixed salads, barbecue saucesand salad dressings. If grilling isinvolved, have your portion cookedon aluminum foil to avoid cross-contamination with other foods.

5Stick to the middle. Poisonivy can lurk in bushes andother foliage, so stay in open

areas where youre less likely tobrush up against it.

6Pay attention to ozone alerts.

High temperatures mixed withpollution can pose a problem for

people with asthma. Carry a quick reliefinhaler.

Tips toavoid allergyand asthmamisery while

enjoyingoutdoorevents

Visit www.AllergyAndAsthmaRelief.org for more information about allergies and to find an allergist near you. Allergists have expertiseto select the most effective treatment options and also can determine if you should consider allergy shots (immunotherapy) which areeffective for seasonal and stinging insect allergies. The treatment involves periodic injections with tiny amounts of an allergen so that yourreactions become milder or disappear completely, curing your allergy. Allergy shots also can help prevent the development of asthma.

Memorial Day is a time to givethanks to those who have servedour country. While this day is oneto remember the service men and

omen who made the ultimatesacrifice, by giving their lives so that

e can be free, its also a time to thanketerans for their service. Better yet,

not just on one day of the year, butthroughout the year.

Dr. William T. Monacci knowsabout the sacrifices made by veterans.Until 2005, Dr. Monacci had a pivotalrole in the care of soldiers woundedin Iraq. Before joining Lancaster

NeuroScience and Spine Associates,he held the rank of Colonel andserved as Neurosurgery Consultant to

the Army Surgeon General. He wasthen Chief of Cranial Base Surgery atWalter Reed Army Medical Centerwhere he was involved with thedeployment of doctors to the militaryhospital in Landstuhl, Germany. Healso treated soldiers with critical headinjuries from roadside bombs in Iraq.

He explains that the paradox ofwar is that it provides medical teamswith increased knowledge aboutblast injuries and how bruises tothe brain affect the central nervoussystem. Shrapnel wounds ofteninflict vascular damage, referred

to as pseudo-aneurysms, and theexpanded incidence of treating themhas advanced medical science as

well as the science of prosthetics.With soldiers, youre dealing with apopulation thats the fittest, he says.

He was doing duty in the ORwhen the 911 planes hit the Pentagon,and treated some of those who wereinjured.

The chance to make a differencein a patients quality of life continuesto drive him. I chose neurosurgerybecause of the broad spectrum of

problems that patients face, and thevariety of ways that I can help them.The nervous system is the mostcomplicated and most elegant systemin the body, and having the potentialto impact it in a positive way is totallygratifying, Dr. Monacci says.

He adds that neurosurgery is stillin its early stages despite its presentlevel of technical sophistication,and the future is going to bringmore applications of neurosurgeryto health care. Additionally newspinal hardware and techniquesfor endoscopic brain surgery are

revolutionizing the way surgeries areperformed, allowing for less invasiveprocedures, and thus faster recovery.

His interest in science andthe medical field is rooted in hischildhood in Bucks County. Hismother was an ICU nurse. He recallsthat he was always interested inscience, and as a teen, his first job wasas an orderly in a hospital. I had somephenomenal science teachers and thatprompted me to consider medicine asa career; with medicine you can affectpeoples lives positively, he says.

Once he made the decision to

become a physician, he needcarefully weigh his options fodue to the combined cost ofand medical school. My dadthe military for a while, so Iwas a great option for what Ito do. West Point provided astarting point for my medicahe says.

Memorial Day, originallycalled Decoration Day, is a day oremembrance or those who have diedin our nations service. There are manystories as to its actual beginnings,with over two dozen cities and townslaying claim to being the birthplace oMemorial Day. There is also evidencethat organized womens groups in theSouth were decorating graves beorethe end o the Civil War: a hymnpublished in 1867, Kneel Where OurLoves are Sleeping by Nella L. Sweetcarried the dedication To The Ladieso the South who are Decoratingthe Graves o the Conederate Dead(Source: Duke Universitys Historic

American Sheet Music, 1850-1920).

While Waterloo N.Y. was ociallydeclared the birthplace o MemorialDay by President Lyndon Johnsonin May 1966, its dicult to prove

conclusively the origins o the day. It ismore likely that it had many separatebeginnings; each o those towns and

every planned or spontaneousgathering o people to honor the

war dead in the 1860s tappedinto the general human need

to honor our dead, eachcontributed honorably

to the growingmovement that

culminated inGen Logangiving

his ocialproclamation

in 1868. It isnot important who

was the very rst,what is important is that

Memorial Day was established.Memorial Day is not about division.It is about reconciliation; it is about

coming together to honor those whogave their all.

Memorial Day was ociallyproclaimed on 5 May 1868 by GeneralJohn Logan, national commander othe Grand Army o the Republic, inhis General Order No. 11, and wasrst observed on 30 May 1868, whenfowers were placed on the graves oUnion and Conederate soldiers at

Arlington National Cemetery. The rststate to ocially recognize the holidaywas New York in 1873. By 1890 it wasrecognized by all o the northern states.The South reused to acknowledge theday, honoring their dead on separatedays until ater World War I (when theholiday changed rom honoring just thosewho died fghting in the Civil War tohonoring Americans who died fghting inany war). It is now celebrated in almostevery State on the last Monday in May

(passed by Congress with the NationalHoliday Act o 1971 (P.L. 90 - 363) toensure a three day weekend or Federalholidays), though several southernstates have an additional separate dayor honoring the Conederate wardead: January 19 in Texas, April 26in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, andMississippi; May 10 in South Carolina;and June 3 (Jeerson Davis birthday) inLouisiana and Tennessee.

To help re-educate and remindAmericans o the true meaning oMemorial Day, the National Momento Remembrance resolution was passedon Dec. 2000 which asks that at 3p.m. local time, or all Americans tovoluntarily and inormally observein their own way a Moment oremembrance and respect, pausingrom whatever they are doing or amoment o silence or listening to Taps.

Americans will consume 1.3billion pounds o ground bee thisyear - and the biggest day or beeeating is just around the corner.Americans will eat more bee onMemorial Day than any other dayo the year and theyll eat some 70percent o those burgers outsideo their backyards. Restaurants,rom fne New York steakhousesto beachside greasy spoons, are

ramping up menus with juicy newtakes on the patty melt. The other Memorial Dayconstant? The open road. Accordingto AAA, 28 million Americans willtake a road trip this Memorial Day. Travel websites like Gadling.com(Beer Travel for Memorial Day)and Away.com (Top Ten MemorialDay Destinations) oer plenty oinnovative ideas on places to go.So, why not combine your burgercraving with a mini escape or thefrst long weekend o the summer?

I you need some inspiration, weve complied fve destinations where the only thing better thanthe burgers are the lineup o post-lunch patriotic events.

no.1 | Brooklyn, N.Y.Peter Luger Steakhouse

Peter Lugers has been ratedNew Yorks No. 1 steakhouse or26 years running. And while youcan drop a small ortune on theiramous porterhouse, the lunchtimeand its succulent, hal-poundLuger-burger is a steal. Prime agedporterhouse trimmings and primechuck come topped with Americancheese, bacon and raw onion tocreate an amazing eect on yourtaste buds. Ater gorging yoursel,head down to the Coney Islandor Fleet Week, where events like

parades, competitions and tourso ships honor the U.S. Navy andMarine Corps.

no.2 | Wilmington, Del.Charcoal Pit

Hidden in ot-passed-overWilmington, the Charcoal Pit frstopened its doors in September1956. It keeps that 50s vibe alive with neon lights and black and white milkshakes that EsquireMagazine once eatured in a piecetitled 67 Things Worth a Detour.

Ater you fnish your 8-ouncecharbroiled hamburger, be sureto walk along the Christian Riveror check out the 144th MemorialDay Parade that starts at Delawareand Woodlawn avenues at 6 p.m.

no.3 |AtlantaHoleman & Finch

Holeman & Finch Public Houseo o Peachtree Road keeps burger

lovers on their toes. Each nightat 10 p.m. a bullhorn sounds inthe restaurant, signaling the start

o the astest burger chowdownanywhere. Cooks put out only 24double patty cheeseburgers andhungry buyers snatch them up inless than a minute. So i you wantto try the yummy goodness, showup a little early and hope that youare one o the frst 24 people inline. Its a great way to wrap up aday ater visiting the Atlanta JazzFestival or the Georgia Renaissance

Festival, both o which take place

over Memorial Day weekend.

no.4 | San AntonioChris Madrids

Chris Madrids in historic mid-

town San Antonio opened in 197with six varieties o burgers and apromise to cook each item as i youwere cooking it or a riend. Thistype o attention to grill detail hashad critics calling Madrids burgerssome o best in the world. Theorders come with a side o nachosinstead o ries - a variation thais purely San Antonio. Thoseunamiliar with this West Texas

hub will want to head down to theSan Antonio River Walk or theMemorial Day Arts & Crats Showor hope to catch the chili cook-oby the amous Chili Queens o SanAntonio.

Think your tastebuds haveoutgrown the grilled cheesesandwich? Think again. Thischildhood favorite has evolved intosomething quite sophisticated.

Grilled cheese has evolved withthe food movement in America,Werlin says. People are lookingfor natural, local and artisan foodthese days, and the grilled cheesesandwich has fallen in lockstep. Its

all about using the best ingredientspossible.

The bread and cheese areparticularly important, she says. It sso easy to gussy up your sandwich

ith exotic bread and a high-

quality cheese, so why not do it?Try buttery breads, like croissantsor brioche, or a loaf stuffed witholives or walnuts. Look for cheesesthat melt well but still deliver greatflavor. There are wonderful meltingcheeses from Wisconsin, such asCheddar, Fontina and Gouda, she

GRATE-FUL CHEESE:Grated cheese melts faster and moreevenly than sliced cheese - the gratingensures the perfect melt before thesandwich burns.

BUTTERED-UP BREAD:Use salted butter for the best flavor,and butter the bread, not the pan. Thinlysliced bread and soft butter work best.

LOW AND SLOW:Dont rush the cooking process. Grill

sandwiches slowly over medium heat;carefully watch for maximum melt andcrispy bread.

COVER AND COOK:Cover the sandwich during the cookingprocess to lock in the heat. This will helpthe cheese melt faster and more evenly.

PRESS, FLIP, REPEAT:Use a spatula to press down firmly onthe sandwich while cooking; flip thesandwich twice (pressing with each flip)to ensure crisp bread and thoroughly

melted cheese.

Gardening is oten seen as anart orm to men and women with a

green thumb. Once the landscapeis designed, homeowners may not

ant to change much rom year toear. That is where perennial plants

can be an advantage.Designing a landscape and

keeping the garden lookingbeautiul can take a keen eye. Italso may require a lot o time andcommitment. I home gardenershave to replant items year aterear, gardening can become time-

consuming and expensive. Turningto perennial plants and owersto serve as the anchor or a homegarden can make the process easier.

Perennials are plants that liveindefnitely. In terms o oweringplants, perennials will bloom everyear. In essence, they have the

staying power o shrubbery but aremore delicate in nature and otenappealing to the eye.

There are perennials or everyseason, soil type and sun exposure.

Perennials come in a wide varietyo blooming owers or attractive

oliage. Chances are i a homeownerwants to add perennials to thegarden, there is a variety availablethat will ft his or her needs.

Once perennials are in place,there is relatively minimalmaintenance that is required. Thetune-ups that may be needed are

some deadheading to promote newand stronger growth and some

cleaning up ater winter beore thenew blooming season takes place.

Quick, beore the ground gets toomuddy or rain-soaked again, clearout any leaves and debris that havegathered around where perennialsare located. Gardeners can also tillthe mulch or soil in these areas to

aerate the planting beds.By now, you should have used

your garden shears to cut down anydead grasses, stems and stalks romspent perennials that overwintered.Dead wood and broken branchesneed to be removed, too. Be careulnot to trim spring-blooming shrubsbecause some owers bloom onyear-old stems and this can causethe plant not to ower.

Perennials that arent oweringas well as they used to or have deadcenters may need to be dividedto promote stronger growth. Thisshould be done in early springbeore the plant blooms or late allbeore the winter arrives. Dividingplants and replanting not only growsthe garden, but also it is a healthyrevitalization or the plant.

Gardeners who preer to take alaid-back approach to gardeningmay appreciate the ease with whicha beautiul and easy-to-maintain

landscape can be created withperennials.

Hostas are perennialsthat thrive in partial sun

and shady areas.
