Are you as

Successful as you

Could Be?

There are many definitions of success for women: • Status

• Wealth

• Happiness

• Contentment

• Peace

• Cleanliness

just to name a few. We all have had our visions of what we hope to become and what our future may hold. Some may plan to have a marriage, family or career but many of us women want it all. Having one or all of these things takes a dream, time, determination, and work. I can tell you the common denominator is managing stress. There is physical stress, spiritual stress, emotional stress and nutritional stress. One or all of these can shut success down.

Having a career, husband and four children has its challenges and often I didn’t do any of them well. Many times my child was the last to be picked up at the soccer fields, or eating dinner at 9:00 at night. Mostly feeling like a circus clown juggling plates on a stick running around trying to keep them all spinning.

Trying to be all and do all for our careers and our families, we become run down, our immune system becomes weak, and we find ourselves needing an attitude adjustment. We don’t sleep or eat right because of the demands we put on our bodies. By this point we are not feeling successful at all, just happy that the kitchen gets cleaned up.

This is the time the headaches and the overall body aches begin. These symptoms are caused from the physical and emotional stress on our nervous system and are often diagnosed as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, stress headaches and migraines. I often get headaches after work, needing an adjustment just to get through the evening tasks at home. I am very blessed that I can get adjusted frequently during the week and “reset” my nervous system.

I deal with the same issues that other women deal with on a daily basis. I treat hundreds of women who are overloaded with physical and emotional stress which effects nerve function and ends up causing chronic pain and adverse symptoms. Months and years of this kind of stress on the nervous system can lead to dysfunction and disease. A woman’s thought processes can be highly affected when

she experiences decreases in nerve flow, hormones and metabolism. More importantly, decreased mobility is a slow, gradual symptom that tends to spiral into pure lack of motivation to exercise, do laundry, housework,etc.

We now become tied into survival mode only trying to do the minimum to get through the day. Our joy and happiness can easily be robbed with this kind of cycle. Many women do not realize that their nervous system has a direct affect on all these issues. Over the 20 years that I have been treating women, I have found that treating the nervous system with chiropractic adjustments, restores function to the body and allows women to perform at their best. Many women say that they wish they would have known about this years ago!

So I want to encourage the businesswomen, mothers and wives to consider chiropractic care as part of their healthcare for modern day living.

What does it mean to be an independent woman? When I asked this question to a few successful, local women, I found that there is not just one definitive answer, and capturing it all in one story proved to be a much harder undertaking than I realized.

After asking a few women what their definition of an independent woman was I found that each of their answers presented something different. What’s not so surprising is that every women is different and posses a different set of skills that is unique to her and makes her successful.

Our goal with the HerSide magazine is to not only entertain and share with you the stories of local women, but to empower and encourage women of all ages to not be afraid to pursue their dreams. I hope hearing from a few successful women in our area ignites a fire in our female audience and inspires them to find their true passions.

Our business spotlight focuses on a local woman who used her love for her son to fuel her passion to make his life and others like him feel like they belong in society. The Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio is an incredible foundation for disabled men and women of all ages founded right here in the small community of Wooster. Lisa, like many other parents, just wants her son to live a long, happy, independent life.

We filled this issue of HerSide not only with local stories of empowerment but with

tips to help you tackle any task big or small. Maybe you just want to get back on track with your health, or maybe it’s that daunting task of updating the kitchen.

Our remodeling on a budget story will share some pointers on how to create your dream kitchen without breaking the bank and our health column will give our mothers-to-be insight into trying out chiropractic care for those minor aches and pains.

Women are always looking for a few pointers in the beauty department. Try some simple hair care methods to enhance your lustrous coat and see what’s trending for the summer in our fashion and beauty column. And don’t forget to regroup with the girls and plan a little girls night out.

I feel that part of my independence is my drive to be successful in my career and inspire others. By telling the stories of local women, I have the power to share their words with others. Being a coach of a twelve and under softball team this summer, I have really pushed myself to be a positive role model for my girls. I want to be able to encourage them to not only be the best athletes they can be, but to be the best people they can be.

The Carlisle Inn is excited to bring back, for it’s third and final season, The Confession

Musical. “This is a bittersweet year for The Confession; we are excited to welcome a new cast of incredible talent from seven different states, but it’s also a little sad because this will be the final year for guests to have the opportunity to see The Confession,” said Mike Miller, Inn Keeper at Carlisle Inn.

“In 2013, our theater featured The Confession and Half-Stitched, where we had the pleasure of entertaining more than 22,000 people,” Miller added.

Based on Beverly Lewis’ Heritage of Lancaster County Trilogy, the musical combines the three books (“The Shunning,” “The Confession,” and “The Reckoning”) into one unique musical. The screenplay was adapted by former Bob Hope comedy writer, Martha Bolton and was originally produced in Nashville Tennessee by Blue Gate Musicals’ Dan Posthuma.

“Mr. Posthuma and director Wally Nason auditioned

thousands of professional musicians and actors around the country to narrow down an excellent cast of 10 people,” said Miller.

This year’s cast includes a mix of new and old faces joining the stage at the Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek. Returning cast members include Emily Hubbard, reprising her role as Mary Stoltzfus, Bobby Hall as Daniel Fisher, Kate Salsbury as Laura Mayfield (previously Rebecca Lapp) and Carrie Greenberg, reprising her role as Rosie Taylor. New to the Sugarcreek stage include Holly Knowles as Katie Lapp, Lew Whitener as Samuel Lapp, Gloria Wallman as Rebecca Lapp, Benjamin Fierke as Fulton Taylor, and Elizabeth Fleming as Allyson Cairns.

The PlayTo an outsider, Hickory Hollow appears to be just

another peaceful little Amish community, but secrets lie just beyond that plain and simple facade. “There’s just something ‘bout a life that’s plain.”

Follow Katie Lapp on her journey as she discovers that it is not Amish blood that courses through her veins. On her mission to learn more about her birth mother, she is faced with a community shunning, leaving behind the only family she has ever known and possibly losing the love of her life.

Mayhem ensues when Katie finally reaches the Mayfield home - the home of her birth mother Laura. Wanting to find closure, Katie is thrown into unexpected scandal and emotional struggle from the moment she arrives.

Will Laura Mayfield recognize the deceptive plot of her loved one? Will Katie be able to gain the forgiveness of her Amish family and mend her tangled relationships?

To turn such a heartfelt and dramatic novel into a comedic musical, maintaining its dramatic elements sounds like a major undertaking, but Blue Gate Musicals

has done it flawlessly. You will find yourself laughing at the unexpected and being pulled into the emotions of Katie Lapp and the rest of the cast.

Plan to stay the nightSo you have decided to attend

an evening performance of 'The Confession.' Unless you are a local, driving an hour or more home may not be something you want to do at 10 p.m. With the theater being located in a hotel, having a place to stay couldn’t be more convenient.

Each room is furnished with locally-crafted furniture, many suites feature spas and fireplaces, and an indoor, heated pool and hot tub is available to guests. The Carlisle Inn has won the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for the past three years.

Make a day out of it. Carlisle Inn offers a full Amish country experience with buggy rides, a small Bulk Food store, two gift shops and restaurant and bakery all on campus. If you're planning on seeing 'The Confession' this summer, make sure you at least save room for dinner.

The Dutch Valley Restaurant offers a variety of wonderful Amish dishes. The restaurant offers a convenient buffet style that seems to be the most popular choice for indulging in a variety of tasty dishes. Turkeys, hams and roast beefs are available along with the creamiest of mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, homemade noodles, stuffing and much more.

“Almost everything you get in Amish country can be found right here on campus,” said Miller.

Packages are customizable, so plan to spend the day and even night with the Carlisle Inn in Sugarcreek.

“The forecast is looking bright for 2014 as we already have many shows nearing sold-out status and the season has just begun,” said Miller. “I encourage people to reserve their tickets early to insure they are not shut out of the performance they want to see.”

“Again, the big push this year seems to be folks wanting to get in to see The Confession before it leaves town in mid-August,” Miller added,

The Carlisle Inn is located at 1357 Old Route 39 in Sugarcreek. "The Confession," A Musical will be playing at the Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek from June 3-Aug. 16, 2014. Tickets are available for $35 per person and can be ordered online or at the box office. Visit amishcountrymusicals.com or call 855-344-7547 for more information.

All Lisa Followay wanted for her son was a normal life. So with a little research and a desire to help Casey and others like him,

Lisa developed the Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio, right here in Wooster.

Casey Followay was born with spina bifida, a common disabling birth defect. Spina bifida occurs when the bones in the spine of a developing baby do not form properly around the spine leaving some of the vertebrae unfused and open.

Lisa Followay, mother of Casey, described Casey’s condition as being equal to someone losing function due to a spinal injury. “As a parent of a child with a disability, you want a normal life for your child,” Lisa said.” Being a single parent (at the time) it was scary.”

It was a hard time for both Lisa and Casey. Being a part of a school where disabled kids are the minority can be depressing for a child with a disability, explained Lisa. The constant looks from others and questions of curious students wanting to know “what’s wrong with you,” even if they mean well, can be draining when all you want is to be treated like everyone else – normal.

Lisa’s heart ached for her son when he looked at her and simply said, “Mom, I wish I could be like you.” Lisa responded with, “What do you mean.” Casey’s answer filled her heart with sadness, “If I was like you, I would play basketball.”

Lisa encouraged her son to do whatever he wanted to do, but his wheelchair showed its limitations. “All we wanted was for Casey to be able to compete alongside other runners,” said Lisa.

“A lot of people are pushing inclusion. Inclusion is a great in society. In team sports, it’s not always easy or safe,” explained Lisa. “And Special Olympics wasn’t for Casey.”

Lisa explained that Special Olympics is focused on cognitive disabilities while adaptive sports and Paralympics are focused on individuals with physical disabilities.

It wasn’t until the Followays attended an adaptive sports event while living in Indiana that Lisa and Casey finally saw the true potential Casey could achieve.

There were adults participating in this event and it was clear to see, even through their condition they could live a successful life. “As a mom, I could tell my son ‘you’re going to be OK,” Lisa said. “That chair is not what defines you.”

Casey found his motivation in seeing other people like him and just knowing that he could do whatever he set his mind to. People with disabilities are capable of living full, successful lives.

In 2006, Lisa received an email about the National Jr. Disability Championships and wheelchair racing. “Casey always wanted to go fast,” said Lisa. The Followays had a special racing chair made up and took Casey to the games where he competed and set a national record.

When the Followays moved back to Ohio later that year, they found there was a lack of programming available to accommodate Casey’s new desire to compete. Lisa began

looking into ways she could make something happen right in the small Wayne County community.

In 2009, Lisa began meeting others with similar disabilities as Casey. She wanted to hold an event for Casey and others like him right here, in Wooster. She was met with the critics who told her she couldn’t possibly start something to this scale in a small community like this and she faced four main barriers adaptive sports programming is challenged by: awareness of the program; lack of costs for equipment; accessible facilities and a lack of local opportunities.

“My goal was to meet these four barriers,” said Lisa. They decided to hold their very own adaptive sports event to raise community awareness. “We started with five athletes and an adaptive swimming program,” said Lisa.

In October of 2009, the first annual Casey’s Challenge 5K walk/run fundraiser was held. The fifth annual Casey’s Challenge will be held July 19, 2014 (see www.adaptivesportsohio.com for more information).

As a parent of a child with a disability, you want a normal life

for your child.

“We always talk about who Casey is and what he has overcome,” said Lisa. “This event is unique because we are bringing together athletes both disabled and non-disabled.”

Lisa feels this is a motivation for able-bodied people as well. When they see the potential someone participating in adaptive sports can have, it motivates them to be more active themselves.

Through grants and fundraisers they were able to start purchasing special equipment. They can now support 11 different sports and reach out to disabled athletes across the state of Ohio. Some of these sports include wheelchair basketball, hockey, racing, softball, soccer and much more.

“The community of Wooster has been fantastic,” said Lisa. As many learned of Casey’s story, they wanted to help and slowly, Lisa begin to overcome those four main barriers.

At a recent banquet held to honor adaptive sports athletes, Lisa asked attendees to share how being a part of the program has helped them. One particular response touched Lisa:

When this individual started playing sports, she felt like she didn’t belong and that she was always in the way. Since playing hockey with the adaptive sports program, this individual finally felt like she was a part of a family. Her self-confidence grew and the individual felt more successful in life. She concluded her letter with the lines “Life is so much more enjoyable now. I feel my disability no longer defines me.”

Adaptive Sports Program of Ohio is headquartered in Wooster at 2829 Cleveland Road, Suite B. Active programming is available in Cleveland, Akron, Columbus, Wooster, Toledo, Youngstown and more. To learn more visit www.adaptivesportsohio.org or call 330-262-1200.

For those who wish to make updates to their home, the kitchen is a great place to begin. According to the 2013 Cost vs. Value report from Remodeling

magazine, a minor kitchen remodel should recoup up to 75 percent of total remodeling dollars, based on the value of the home increasing. When focusing on this important part of the house, many homeowners are looking for ways to add luxurious and modern touches without breaking the bank.

“Whether you want to splurge on cabinets, countertops, appliances or floors, homeowners are finding they really can have the kitchen they’ve always wanted by doing their research and learning about the many high-quality, yet cost-effective alternatives that exist in home remodeling,” said Trisha Schmitt, vice president of VT Industries.

Getting more out of your remodeling dollars:From small fixes to bigger projects, the

experts at VT Industries provide these ideas to make kitchen updates without emptying your pocketbook.

• Countertops: Serving as an integral piece of your kitchen space, the addition of new countertops can easily become the priciest part of the remodel project. Homeowners like the look of granite and real stone, but want a durable and affordable alternative that helps them achieve the look they desire with the budget they have. A new alternative for countertops is the Capture Collection from VT Dimensions. This affordable design element mimics the beauty and strength of stone materials at a fraction of the cost.

• Backsplash: To add a sleek and modern touch to your kitchen space, consider adding a new backsplash. Typically made from ceramic, glass or stainless steel tile, a backsplash is an affordable option for those who want to add an understated change or a small pop of color as an accent. When compared to other remodeling projects this one is quick and easy.

• Hardware: Did you know you can refresh the look of your whole kitchen for as little as $50? If the hardware on your kitchen drawers or cabinets has an outdated appearance, invest in some of the new options available at your local hardware store. Change out old, brushed stainless or gold knobs and pulls with the newer, on-trend styles offered in pewter or bronze.

• Porcelain tile flooring: If you want the look of stone flooring without the hefty cost, check out the many offerings of porcelain tile. This sturdy, chip-resistant surface is easy on the wallet and can provide long-lasting beauty to your kitchen floors for many years.

To get the most from your remodeling dollars, homeowners are encouraged to do some digging and find out the best deals and alternatives available. For more tips for updating your home, visit www.vtdimensions.com.

For those of us who own or work in independent businesses, “Shop Locally” is a slogan that rolls easily off the tongue. Our businesses and those of many of our neighbors rest on several generations of connections carefully made with the folks in this area we serve.

Point-and-click is an exciting new world, and the galaxy of information at our fingertips astounds me anew each and every day; but in terms of where we spend our hard-earned dollars, just how much local tax support does the ‘.com’ community pay to our schools? How many yearbook ads, local sports teams, charity auctions, elementary school funfairs, fire department fundraisers, and church raffles has Amazon sponsored lately in your world?

So it's easy from where we sit to feel that shopping locally is critically important. But it's equally important for those of us in business locally to practice what we preach - which brings me to the topic of ‘Made-in-America.’

Depending on when you read this, Independence Day is either right around the corner or the fireworks are still fresh in your memory. But the parade that's still going on is the long line of American manufacturers marching into the sunset, going out of business and taking hundreds of thousands of American jobs with them. In the furniture industry, some deserved to go, but today my focus is on those who remain, the ones that have entered the 21st century building quality products in the U.S.A - American-made brands that offer real value to my customers. There are many, and it's more important than ever that we retailers reach out to them as partners.

THINK GLOBALLY,

BUY LOCALLY

At Runions' Furniture, I talk to customers every week who are surprised at the percentage of American-made products we sell. (It's about 75%.) But it's not just "Made-in-the-USA" that makes sense today, it's about thinking and buying regionally.

Just like me, you fill your gas tank up each week and wince. At today's energy prices, how much sense does it really make to ship American wood halfway around the world, make it into furniture, and ship it back to Orrville or Wooster? Half of the price of that “Made-in-Vietnam” dresser goes into the fuel wasted to move around the parts.

Of the American-made furniture we sell, almost 95% is built within a day's drive of our front door- much of it right here in Ohio. More importantly, the sofa you invest in that was made in Norwalk, Ohio is an investment in your own neighbors. Thinking regionally when we open our wallets really does matter.

All this does not mean that I'm suggesting we narrow our awareness and our focus to only our own backyard. In the interest of full disclosure, one of our most important suppliers at Runions' Furniture and Roomscapes builds furniture a longs ways from here, in Norway. But the person responsible for our establishing that relationship shared with me several years ago a buying philosophy I've never forgotten.

Marge Stock, the original owner of the Inn at Honey Run in Millersburg, once described her approach to creating the unique atmosphere of her inn: "I look for the best in Holmes County, and if what I need isn't available here, I look for the best in Ohio...then the best in the U.S. If- and only if- it can't be found there, I will look for the best in the world market."

To sum it up: Think globally- but buy as locally as possible.

Spoiler alert: this column isn't about decorating ideas...it's more of a rant, but a timely one, I think. Stay with me for a paragraph or two, and I hope you'll agree.

To look at a woman and have her fall under a single definition of an “independent woman” is seemingly impossible. Every woman possess their own skill sets

that make them successful in their own lives. I spoke with a few successful woman in the area who each hold their own definitions of what it means to be an independent woman in today’s society.

Kathi Bond found her success in starting her own business. Her drive came from being a part of a poor family that had to work hard for everything they had. “My dad left us and I didn’t realize it at the time, but we didn’t have a lot,” said Bond.

When she was on her own and her own husband left her with a five-year-old son, Bond decided she needed to take her life in her own hands. “I needed to step up and do it on my own. I knew I had to take over my finances.”

She put herself through college to learn a trade and would house college renters in her own home to help make ends meet. When the opportunity arose to start her own business, she seized it. “My mom was very independent, very business oriented. That rubbed off on me,” said Bond.

CryoPlus was founded by Bond in 1994 and provides services to a variety of industries here in Ohio: woodworking, stamping, tool and die, shearing, welding, shooting and racing to name a few. The process of deep freezing metal parts (cryogenics) makes them more durable and stronger.

Bond had worked selling parts before deciding that she had, had enough with working for someone that she didn’t quite see eye-to-eye with. “I just wanted to be my own boss and do my own thing,” said Bond.

“All my customers are men which makes it interesting,” said Bond. “I have had to prove myself.” And overtime she has established a reputation that she can handle living in a “man’s” world.

“Women are strong and they do what they have to do,” said Bond.

Bond has made herself very active in the community and just wants to give back. She is a member of the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce, president of the Orrville Lions Club, member of the Wayne County Women’s Network, a founding lifetime member of ATHENA International and a board trustee at Goodwill Industries.

“I’ve really enjoyed working with young professionals - seeing them succeed at 25 and 26 years old. That would be awesome to be involved in the community that early. They are saving the world,” said Bond.

One of those young professionals is showing her stripes as the student placement coordinator at the Wayne County Schools Career Center. Her impressive resume of involvement includes: Kiwanis, Wayne County Women’s Network, recent ATHENA recipient, Jr. Women’s Club of Wayne County, Wooster Young Professionals and the Boys and Girls Club to name a few.

Jean Boen, 29, spends her career networking and making sure students have all the resources they need to get connected to the business world. Boen feels that education is key to a successful life and uses her role to encourage students to succeed in their studies.

This summer, Boen is excited to launch the Lenore S. Dresch Empowerment Program for Girls through the Boys and Girls Club. The program takes place June 16-August 6 for girls going into third through seventh grade and will include

empowerment classes on topics such as: women in leadership, self-defense, confidence building, etiquette, communication skills, health and more. (To learn more about the program email bgewooster@gamil.com or call 330-345-6474, ext. 7310)

The program was named after Boen’s grandmother who was an advocate for women’s education. Lenore’s father would not let her go to school so she decided to walk herself there, explained Boen. Her father finally gave in to her many attempts to evade him and allowed her to pursue an education.

Lenore was dedicated to making sure women got an education and said “there is no tool more effective than the empowerment of women.” This quote is the basis for Boen’s camp and her life-long goals of making sure girls have the opportunity to learn.

Her other passion involves ending poverty, which she feels can easily be achieved through education. “Trade-based education is a ticket out of poverty,” said Boen.

For Boen, defining an independent woman “is making sure to use your skill set - utilizing what you have been given to help others.” Every woman is different and just has to learn what their strengths are.

“As women, we often focus on our weaknesses versus our strengths. It’s easy to get caught up in what you’re doing wrong,” said Boen. Part of identifying your strengths is surrounding yourself with personalities that build you up and help you discover those strengths, explained Boen.

“Finding something that you are passionate about and just feels right, helps give you that independence and that ‘want’ to succeed,” said Boen.

Through all of Boen’s involvement, she still finds time to be an assistant volleyball coach for the College of Wooster. “It’s kind of my sanity, walking out on the gym and it all goes away,” said Boen.

Boen enjoys helping the girls on and off the court, giving them advice on resumes and grad school applications along with teaching them the skills of the game.

“I feel like here in Wayne County, we are surrounded by so many great women mentors,” said Boen. “We have women here who are setting the trails for younger women. “

Bobbi Douglas, executive director of STEPS, was one of

those women setting the trails for Boen. When Boen first moved back home to Wooster, she took a job at STEPS in family housing. It was Douglas’ guidance that lead her down the path of education being the answer to poverty and her new goals of connecting students with education.

Douglas defines an independent woman as “someone who thrives on her own or with people. She has her own ideas and is always open to learning different ideas.”

“I tend to be pretty strong and direct,” said Douglas on why she feels she is often classified as an independent woman. “Over the years, I’ve learned to tamper that down and listen.” She still has plenty to say, but learning to “listen more and speak” less has been key to her success.

Douglas works closely with women of all ages in her position and has prided herself in being able to see all options for troubled women even if they may not be able to see it right away for themselves.

One of her clients came to her, telling her she had received a scholarship for her child to attend the Montessori School in Wooster. At the time, the client had just gotten a job and didn’t think she would be able to take her child to the school. Before she could close the door on an education for her child, Douglas introduced her to other parents who were more than willing to help her out and get her child to school.

Douglas deals with women finding their inner-confidence and dedicates herself to helping them overcome those “road-blocks” in life. “Sometimes women don’t often see the potential they have to be a leader. I am teaching people that they have the capability to take control of their life,” she said.

“Being an independent woman is having respect for yourself and other people,” said Douglas.

“I think there is a stigma with the notion of an independent woman. That stigma is that your single, career oriented and doing what you want,” said Judge Latecia Wiles of the Wayne County Probate and Juvenile Courts. “I think it doesn’t necessarily mean you are single or have a great career. If your goal is to be the best mom, you can be the best mom and still be an independent woman.”

“I think an independent woman is someone who is able to make good decisions to achieve her goals despite obstacles, while being respectful of others and despite a fear of rejection.” Wiles says, “you will make mistakes and learn along the way.”

Each of these women represented are just a few of the many great, successful women in our community. As I asked each of these women how they would define an independent woman, I was pleasantly surprised to find there is no single answer to this question. Each woman makes her own path of success in society.

’’ As women, we often focus on our weaknesses versus our strengths. It’s easy to get caught up

in what you’re doing wrong.-Jean Boen

Beau

ty Hair is typically taken for granted until something goes awry. Hair loss can result from genetics, disease or poor hair hygiene. While there's little a

person can do about genetics or hair loss related to illness, good hair hygiene should be a part of everyone's beauty and grooming regimen.

A good head of hair can enhance a person's appearance. Hair hygiene is important, but many do not know where to begin, and myths abound when it comes to hair care. It's time to wash away the fiction from the facts.

* There is no need to shampoo every day. Some think they'll be left with a head of dirty, smelly hair if they do not lather up every day, but this is inaccurate. Most people can go a day or more between washing their hair, and waiting between washes actually can be beneficial. "Hair is fiber, and the more you wash it, the worse it's going to look," says Paradi Mirmirani, MD, a dermatologist in California specializing in hair research. People with curly, dry or processed hair can

probably go longer between washings than those with thin, straight hair. This enables oils from the scalp to travel down the hair shaft and keep the cuticle healthy.

* Conditioner can keep hair smooth and shiny. Some question the necessity for conditioner while others can't live without it. Those with coarse or dry hair usually find that conditioning a few times a week is necessary to tame hair and keep it shiny and looking healthy. On the flip side, those with naturally moist hair may not need to use conditioner more than once per week. Overuse of conditioner can actually contribute to making hair look dull, dry and weighed down. People with thin hair may only want to apply conditioner to the ends so as not to make hair flat and heavy. Many people need to experiment with conditioner to find a routine that works.

* More lather isn't necessarily better. Contrary to popular belief, shampoos that generate mounds of rich lather are not necessarily better for your hair. Sulfates are commonly used as lathering agents and may be the first ingredients in many commercially produced shampoos. Sulfates make water feel more wet and spread cleaning ingredients from the shampoo more readily across the hair shaft. However, these same cleansers can dehydrate the sebaceous glands and strip the scalp of essential oils and natural moisture. Many stylists recommend sulfate-free shampoos because they are more gentle on the hair. People who color their hair may find a sulfate-free shampoo helps retain their hair color longer.

* Brushing can be beneficial. While you may not need 100 strokes of the hair brush to achieve shiny hair, brushing hair gently each day can untangle the hair and help transfer oils from the scalp down the hair shaft and throughout the hair. The key is not to brush too often or too vigorously. Look for a brush with long, plastic bristles that bend. A brush with a rubber base with vents is also good. Do not brush so hard that you scratch your scalp or tear out hair from the roots. The goal is to prevent breakage.

Many hair situations not only can be remedied at home, but a person can also consult with a stylist to develop a hair care routine. People experiencing hair problems that are not easily fixed should speak to dermatologists, as such problems may be symptoms of medical issues.

Going through pregnancy and raising small children is a greater challenge than ever before in our current, fast-paced culture. It appears, as fast as

technology goes, so should everything else in our lives. We can get “drive thru” anything these days and we expect so much more out of everything.

One thing that has not changed is the pregnancy cylce. Technology cannot create a baby faster than nine months. So we must still accept all the physical issues that come along with pregnancy, birthing and raising small children.

Over the past 10 years we [Chaffee Chiropractic] have seen more interest in expecting moms asking us questions about chiropractic care for themselves and the baby during and after pregnancy. The physical changes and issues women experience during these times are no secret. It becomes more of an issue of

what do we do about it. The internet age has created a vast amount of information for moms to consider.

Modern chiropractic care for the pregnant mother is becoming a more mainstream approach to treating the pain and discomfort of pregnancy. Lower back pain is one of the most common symptoms that we treat on a daily basis. In fact, the research shows that women who receive regular chiropractic care throughout their pregnacy have 33 percent less symptoms than those who do not.

Back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, rib pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and knee and ankle pain - this list just about covers the whole body. Unfortunately, this is a reality with pregnancy.

Ligament laxity is a major component to some of these issues as the pregnancy goes on. Hormones are a factor for laxity and does not allow the body, especially the hips and back, to stay in place very long. As a result, we find that women want to get adjusted much more often the last two-three months of the pregnancy.

Postural distortions during those nine months occur right away. Most women start having mid-back or low-back pain the first month. As time goes on, the head and neck start to protrude forward, creating a “humped” appearrance at shoulder level. When the neck vertebrae becomes misaligned, this is when the neck and shoulder pain start as well as headaches.

As we approach the delivery date, often times the baby becomes breach. A chiropractic technique, which evaluates the pelvic neuro-biomechanics, can release the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. Research reports an 82 percent success rate of babies turning vertex when doctors of chiropractic use this technique. Chaffee has had success in their clinics with many breach babies. Labor and delivery usually is much faster when chiropractic adjustments are given in the last trimester as well.

Post partum adjustments for mom and baby are just as valuable as the ones during the pregnancy. After delivery, the lowerback and pelvis is distorted from the intense delivery process. Often times this intense pressure of the birth process can cause misalignments of the newborn. Some of the symptoms may include, colic, fussiness, poor sleep/eat habits, constipation and reflux.

Often times parents do not realize that a child cannot turn their head to both sides equally or their head is tilted to one side constantly. These are spinal misalignment issues that need to be addressed chiropractically. Treating a newborn with chiropractics is a very gentle process. Babies that receive chiropractic care are healthy and happier!

Latecia Wiles, better known as Judge Wiles, has made herself somewhat of a role model for aspiring, young women

in Wayne County. She did not let her gender deter her from her passion and became the first female judge in the Wayne County Court of Common Pleas. Her roots stem deep in the local community and she is no stranger to hard work and earning her place in society.

Wiles knows all too well of small town life and hard work growing up on the family farm in Creston. After graduating from Norwayne High School she went on to continue her education and pursued her undergraduate degree at the College of Wooster.

She graduated with a degree in Philosophy and Anthropology but began to question her future with the degree.” My dad looked at me and asked ‘What are you going to do with that?’ And the more I thought about it, I begin to wonder,

‘What am I going to do with that?’” joked Wiles. Wiles decided to pursue law school at the University of

Akron. While attending law school, she worked for various attorneys around Wooster to gain hands-on experience and discovered that “it just felt right.”

After passing the Ohio bar, she began working right away as an assistant prosecutor in Wayne County handling cases in child abuse and neglect in Juvenile Court and elder abuse and exploitation matters in Probate Court.

Over the years, Wiles built an impressive resume that has made her more than qualified for her current position. Wiles represented the judges, Children Services, the Child Support Enforcement Agency, the Department of Job and Family Services, law enforcement, the auditor, treasurer, sheriff, and Wayne County Commissioners as an assistant prosecutor.

Wiles became a Certified Appellate Law Specialist by the Ohio Bar Association having handled over 100 appeals before higher courts including the Ohio Supreme Court. In 2011, Wiles received the Meritorious Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of the Year award from the Ohio Prosecuting Attorney’s Association.

Judge Latecia Wiles‘Everyday i have the opportunity and the responsibility

to deliver justice and do the right thing’

Story by Catie Noyes • EditorPhotos courtesy of Judge Latecia Wiles

Above: Latecia Wiles being sworn in as judge by Justice Terrence O’Donnell

Serving her time as a prosecutor, Wiles served as legal council to Judge Leisy, who was serving as the Probate and Juvenile judge before retiring in 2012. Wiles was appointed to be judge by Governor Kasich in April of 2012 following Leisy’s retirement and then elected by the public in the 2012 general election.

“When he chose to retire I felt it would be a good fit,” said Wiles.

Judge Wiles is the first female Common Pleas Judge in Wayne County history. “I think it’s a very cool thing to have a female in this position. People have been supportive.”

At first, Wiles faced the difficulty of overcoming the stigma of her position not only being a historically male-dominated position, but an older, male-dominated position.

“There were times when I first started as judge, people who saw me enter the courtroom would assume that I was just a clerk or a secretary,” said Wiles. “I have felt that I have had to go above and beyond to prove myself and that I am qualified.”

Although she is not the youngest judge in Wayne County Court history, she has the occasional person ask her just how old she is. She wasn’t afraid to share that she is 36 years young.

“I just know that I have to stay focused on what I am doing and face the challenges head on,” she said.

Being a Juvenile and Probate judge has its ups and downs. A normal day for Wiles usually involves dealing with a child abuse and neglect case or settling child custody battles in Juvenile court and settling family disputes over assets and what is best for the family in Probate court.

“I feel it’s a job where I can really make a difference in the lives of children and their families,” said Wiles. While she enjoyed being a prosecutor, her duties were limited to representing the position of the client. Being a judge gives her the opportunity to make the decisions for the betterment of society.

“Every day I have the opportunity and the responsibility to deliver justice and do the right thing. That’s nice!”

What is difficult about the job is when Wiles can’t make a difference and despite all her efforts, she may only have a limited impact on people. “Despite all your efforts, sometimes you are powerless to make a bad situation any better,” said Wiles.

It’s the happy instances of granting marriage licenses and adoptions, resolving a child abuse or neglect case and seeing the parents follow through with the judge’s ruling and reuniting families that make her job worth it.

“I have the opportunity to make a difference that not everyone can,” said Wiles.

Nigh

t Out

Women are busier today than ever before. The demands of work and the responsibilities of family life can

dominate a woman's time, making it increasingly difficult to find time to kick back and relax. As their careers take off and families grow, many women find it challenging to make time for social interactions, particularly with their female friends. But ladies' night out is a great way to relieve stress and maintain social contacts. Making time to hang out with friends can be good for the body and mind.GIVE PLENTY OF NOTICE

When planning a ladies' night out, give several weeks' worth of notice so more people can carve out time to attend. Begin plans for a get-together a month or more in advance, asking friends which dates work and which will not. Treat a night out with friends just like you would any important obligation.TRY SOMETHING NEW

It may be tempting to lean on old habits and make ladies' night out the run-of-the-mill dinner and drinks. Instead, think unconventionally and find ways to make time spent with friends more engaging. How about signing up for a cooking class where you can socialize and learn a few new

culinary secrets? Otherwise, do something out of character. Attend a poetry reading or visit an art museum.HAVE A PLAN

Plan activities before everyone leaves the house. Otherwise, you may waste precious time brainstorming where to go or what to do. There is a good chance those participating in the night out are pressed for time, so maximize moments spent together

by planning the night in advance.DOWNPLAY THE ROLE OF ALCOHOL

Alcoholic beverages are often at the center of social occasions. Women are largely social drinkers, but alcohol does not need to be a part of the festivities. Overconsumption of alcohol has been linked to the development of breast cancer and may cause damage to the heart and liver. Look for ways to spend time together that don't involve alcohol.HIRE A SITTER

A night out with the ladies is a chance to enjoy some adult time with friends. Having kids in tow can make it difficult for women to relax. Rather than worrying about what the children are up to at home or if your spouse is going to call, hire a trusted sitter to stay with the children. This way everyone can relax and know the kids are well cared for.KEEP ACTIVITIES PRIVATE

Women who move between different social circles may have some friends that overlap. Rather than risking hurting a friend's feelings, try not to advertise social plans with everyone. This could mean restricting postings on social networking sites. Flagrant check-ins or streaming photos from your night out could seem disrespectful of others and may lead others to feel left out.

A night out with the ladies is an ideal way to unwind and enjoy a respite from packed daily schedules. Following a few suggestions can make these social opportunities even more enjoyable.

thank you for helping me come so far. I have gone from

surviving a day after day routine of pain, Excedrin,

and ibuprofen to just living life.

Honestly, I am focusing on the fact that I have

been 35 days free of any over-the-counter medications

and no caffeine. For me, both those things are

HUGE! I felt my power being turned back on with

each adjustment.

I fi nd myself thinking differently as I see TV

commercials for so many different medications and

everything they promise. I have really bought into your

way of HEALTH & WELLNESS. You have always

been so kind and encouraging, which in turn makes

me want to not disappoint! So in the end, thank you

for being so passionate about what you believe and

sharing it with others.” – Kari

From the Doctor,Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. If you bring in this article, you will receive my entire new patient exam for $17*. That’s with everything. This exam could cost you $305. By the way, further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that I have affordable spinal adjustment plans. You see I’m not trying to seduce you to come see me with this low start up fee, then to only make it up with high fees after that. “Further care” is very important to consider when making your choice of doctor.High costs can add up very quickly. By law, this offer excludes Worker’s Comp, Personal Injuries, Medicare, and Medicaid benefi ciaries.Great care at a great fee…Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifi cations…I’m a Cum Laude graduate of Life University and a member of the ICA, OSCA, and MOCA. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to athletes, and patients in their 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care.My offi ce is both warm and friendly and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have a wonderful service at an exceptional fee. My offi ce is COMPLETE CHIROPRACTIC LIFE CENTER and we’re located at 5225 Cleveland Rd., Suite A, (about 1/4 mile north of the Smithville-Western intersection).

Summer is a time to bid adieu to the bulky, layered looks that dominate winter and even parts of spring. Each season the runways help dictate which fashions

will dominate stores across the country, and the following are some beauty and fashion trends to expect this summer.SPLASHES OF ORANGE

Orange is a vibrant hue poised to take the season by storm. Evoking feelings of warmth and sunshine, orange is an unexpected and bold color choice. Daring women can don head-to-toe orange and really make a splash. However, there are some more subtle ways to don orange this season, including adding a pop of this vibrant color to shoes or belts. If the runways were any indication, orange makeup also figures to be popular this summer. An orange lip and a peachy eye flatter many skin types. Such coral colors are reminiscent of tropical, coral backdrops, making them perfect for summers by the shore.BLACK-AND-WHITE DOMINATION

Pairing crisp black and white will forever be a fashion staple. This combination continues to be a strong

contender for spring/summer 2014 fashion. Avoid looking like the wait staff at a local restaurant by matching black with white in unique ways. Another way to make black and white more unique is to play with texture. A black top over a willowy white skirt is ever-popular. Mix black leather with white lace, and vice versa, for a style that is daring but sweet at the same time. Black-and-white stripes remain popular, and color-blocking can be used to hide figure flaws and draw attention to more flattering areas of the body. Adding pops of pastel with black and white is another popular trend for the season, particularly tints of blush and mint.

ETHEREAL FACESFew people want to feel burdened by their

makeup regimen on warm days. Summer is a season for bare faces, so women looking to enhance their features without drowning them out will appreciate some of the ethereal trends that have emerged this season. White, shimmery eye shadow provides just a hint of glamour. White eyeliner and shadow can open up deep-set eyes or help small eyes appear larger.

To achieve glowing skin, use tinted moisturizers and bronzers rather spending hours outdoors soaking up potentially harmful sun. Use bronzer with a very light hand and apply to the areas the sun would normally touch, such as the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose and forehead. Pair this with a liquid shimmer or illuminator and your skin will look dewy and fresh.

Berry-stained lips go well with bare or shimmery eyes, and they're the perfect way to perk up minimal makeup. Women can layer the deep-pink color depending on how daring they want to be.CROP TOPS

Crop tops remain a fashion trend this season. Because they're not for everyone, it's unlikely this style will become oversaturated. This season the crop top is about showing just a hint of the midriff, which can make the look more attainable. Of course, short tops can be reserved for athletic wear or swimsuits for those people who are not yet daring enough to incorporate them into their everyday wardrobe.

Berry-colored lips and black-and-white clothing are two fashion and beauty trends that figure to be popular in summer 2014.
