½¶»»ºº ½¾ÇÄÅǶ¸É¾¸ º¶ÉÊÇºÈ Ç ©¶Â¾ ½¶»»ºº I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and began working for my childhood Chiropractor when I was in High School. I loved seeing people get healthy and hurting people get well. I had no doubt Chiropractic was the path the Lord was directing me. I worked in every aspect of the clinic. I began at the front desk, moved to physiotherapy then x-ray. I had a passion for the patients and loved having a hand in getting them well. I graduated Chiropractic school in 1992. We came to Wooster in 1993 with big goals and dreams. We have 4 children (3 daughters and 1 son). We are currently working in our 20th year in the community and absolutely love it. It is still amazing to me how the human body can heal itself when the proper adjustment is applied. I love seeing little babies all the way up to my special seniors in the 80’s and 90’s. The desire I have for people getting well has not changed. I never think of Chiropractic as my job, but it is truly my passion and my purpose.

Celebrating The Arts in our County! The arts have always been special to me. In high school I was always a part of the school band and choir. You could call me a band geek or choir nerd all you want, but what I took away from those experiences has made me who I am today. It’s not easy to learn to play an instrument or read music and while I wasn’t a star instrumentalist, I truly believe it taught me focus and discipline. I also had the opportunity to be in school musicals three out of my four years in high school and participated in One Act plays my last year. Now while I wasn’t the lead I had a few moments to shine with singing and speaking roles and these moments helped me to develop confidence in myself. In this issue of HerSide, I have taken the opportunity to showcase some of the fine talent we have right here in the county. Being home to the Wayne Center for the Arts and The Ohio Light Opera, children and adults have the outlets they need to be successful in the arts in Wayne and Holmes counties. Singers, performers and artists alike have been featured in this edition ranging in ages up to 82 years young. Donna Fetzer knew from a young age that she loved the stage and being in front of people. Today she continues to write short plays for a group she calls Stage 2-Grandmas’ Theatre. Artists can come in all forms, it all depends on the way you choose to express yourself. In this issue you will read about a group of designers who have chosen to express themselves through interior design. The Blessings Design Team restores faith by simply making an old home feel new again. Read how they were there for Debbie Hoxworth and her family. The arts are a very profound part of our community. Even if you were never a part of a school play or in the band growing up, ask yourself where would you be without music? Every great musician started out somewhere and chances are their school music programs had a large impact on their development. What about those movies you enjoy watching or T.V. shows with the hilarious actors and actresses? They most likely have a school play to thank for their confidence and stage presence. Show your support for the arts programs and consider attending a play or musical in the near future. Take the time to appreciate the work that goes into such a production or visit an art gala and take in all the talent and unique visions around you. Growing up I was always coloring and sketching. Today I can consider myself a graphic artist where my pen and paper have become my computer and design

programs. Designing eye catching ads and laying out magazines in a way that grabs the reader’s attention is what drives me. In a way, I am also an artist with my writing. I feel that I can often paint a picture in the readers mind and make them feel as if the story is actually taking place around them. I love making connections with my readers and I hope that this issue leaves an impression on you.

The heartwrenching yet humorous musical, ‘The Confession,’ has returned for another year to the Carlisle Inn in Sugarcreek. 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.

To an outsider, Hickory Hollow appears to be just another peaceful little Amish Community. “There’s something ‘bout a life that’s plain� and there seems to be some secrets amongst a few of the plain people in the community. The musical opens with Katie Lapp (played by Kristina Kennedy) and Daniel Fisher (played by Bobby Hall) sharing a romantic exchange over a song they wrote together. Singing and playing music other than the

6

approved hymn’s is frowned upon in the community and the ďŹ rst secret of Hickory Hollow is presented to us. Secrets continue to unfold as Katie ďŹ nds herself in the attic of her parents house. While digging through some old things from her childhood she discovers a beautiful, satin baby gown with the name Katherine MayďŹ eld embroidered into it. Samuel (played by Kyle Whitney) and Rebecca Lapp (played by Kate Salsbury) are forced to tell their daughter the truth. Katie Lapp is really Katherine MayďŹ eld and was adopted by the Amish couple after losing a child of their own. Katie (or Katherine) feels she has lost her identity and needs to ďŹ nd out who she really is. She sets out to ďŹ nd her birth mother and the Amish Bishop has no choice but to shun her from the community. Meanwhile, Laura MayďŹ eld (played by Alison Dixon) is spending her last days conďŹ ned to a wheelchair as her health declines. She longs to ďŹ nd the daughter she gave up years ago before she goes to meet her heavenly father. Her up-to-nogood husband, Dylan Bennet (played by Matthew Walker,) has big plans for the money his wife will leave behind once she passes. Dylan over hears his wife telling her dear friend and housekeeper, Rosie Taylor (played by Carrie Greenberg), that she hopes to ďŹ nd her daughter and leave all of her possessions and inheritance to her. Quickly Dylan devises a plan and hires Allyson Cairns (played by Jenna Haimes) from a local talent agency to play Katherine MayďŹ eld. After tracking her mother to a most wealthy estate in New York, the real Katherine MayďŹ eld shows up at the MayďŹ eldBennet Mansion. She is quickly rushed into the home by Rosie and her husband Fulton Taylor (played by Gregory McClelland) only to discover that she is not being welcomed as the long lost daughter or Laura MayďŹ eld, but hired help. As the imposter Amish girl continues to reveal how much she doesn’t know about the Amish lifestyle, Katie is quick to correct her causing Rosie to be suspicious of her true identity. As the story continues to unfold, Allyson feels she can no longer play this imposter role and deceive Laura and chooses to leave the home. Discovering his plan is failing, Dylan ees the home and the truth is ďŹ nally revealed. The Carlisle Inn is very pleased to bring back ‘The Confession’ for a second year. According to Mike Miller, Inn

Keeper at Carlisle Inn, last year’s musical attracted around 18,000 people with more than half of the performances selling out. 'The Confession' the musical was first performed in Shipshewana, Ind. at the Blue Gate Theater. Kristina Schlabach, theater manager, and Miller wanted to bring something new and exciting to the theater at Carlisle Inn. “Amish romance novels were becoming very popular,” explained Schlabach. So the timing of the musical worked out well and “it is something that has been wonderful for this area and has something for everyone.” The heart wrenching moments shared between Katie and her Amish mother after learning the truth of her adoption combined with powerful musical numbers left many wiping their eyes in the audience. Many were also wiping their eyes from laughter during the musical number “let me explain,” as it seemed the hired actress playing Katherine Mayfield was drawing a lot of attention with her lack of Amish knowledge. “People come into the show thinking it’s a church-like musical,” said Miller. “They are pleasantly surprised with the professionalism of the play,” said Schlabach. In fact, the actors who audition for these main roles were among 3,000 other professionals hoping for a lead role in ‘The Confession.’ The musical was presented as a theater-in-the-round or arena theater, which means audience members sat on all four sides of the stage and actors performed in the middle projecting to all sides. This style of theater really made the audience feel that they were a part of the play no matter where they sat in the theater. Overall, the idea of a musical based on an Amish novel is most intriguing and managed to draw a full house for opening night. People were visiting from all over Ohio, West Virginia, Oregon and Maine and even one couple from New Zealand.

So 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 made furniture, homemade quilts, cable T.V.’s and more. The hotel also offers an all season pool, plenty of common room and lounge space, gaming rooms and a fitness room. “Many people are blown away by the (affordable) price and how much they get with that rate,” said Miller. 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 seemed to be the most popular choice for indulging in a variety of tasty dishes. Turkeys, hams and roast beefs were available along with the creamiest of mash 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 Carlisle Inn in Sugarcreek. The Carlisle Inn is located at 1357 Old Route 39 in Sugarcreek. "The

hen we think of the arts, we typically think of painters and drawers, and performers and singers, but would you ever consider grouping interior designers into this category? What makes an artist so great is their ability to see anything as a blank canvas and turn it into something unique and beautiful. For the Blessings Design Team, their canvas of choice was a home. Barb Chalmers founded Blessings Design team in 2011 right in Holmes County. “I had been here for a year and I was sitting in church one day when I just felt like I had been given my talents to serve Him,� said Barb. Having her own interior design business, Restoration Details (see ad on page 31,) Barb has been in the business for more than ten years. She specializes in custom design for new construction, renovations to existing homes, commercial properties, color consultations and painted furniture. Barb first learned of a women who was a mother of three kids with genetic disorders. Having spent much of her family’s money on medical costs, the family had little money to fix up their house and waterproof their leaky basement. Barb received a decent amount of interest in her project from people who were truly interested in giving back, however she faced the challenge of convincing them that even if they weren’t

skilled designers or decorators that they could bring something to the group. “The biggest thing I heard from people was, I want to help but I’m not creative,� said Barb. “My thoughts are, if you have the love to help others, I have the knowledge to direct you.� Barb asked herself, “How can I bring a group of women together, in fellowship?� After gathering a group of ten women together, each bringing their own unique skill sets to the table, the Blessings Design Team set to work. They organized a Christmas Home Tour which raised enough funds to waterproof the family’s basement and the team was able to create a special room for each of the kids. Barb never had to worry about finding the right person to help next because her strong faith told her, “God will direct us to the right person.� Word of the Blessings Design Team seemed to spread across town, and the following Barb received through her social media outlets and word of mouth was remarkable. She decided to promote the team through facebook and their blog by holding nominations for her next makeover. Two families stood out the most in Barb’s mind and the team determined that funds raised from the next home tour would be used to give both families a fresh start and a place they can truly call home. “Both people chosen are always giving back to the community,� said Barb. The Hoxworth family received some very difficult news in the summer of 2011. Debbie Hoxworth’s husband had been diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer called bile duct cancer. With no known cure, Debbie did her best to research the illness and make her life with her husband and four kids the happiest it could be in the short time they had left with their father. Nine months later, Debbie’s husband passed away. Debbie did the best she could to help her kids as well as herself understand God’s purpose and His will and keep her family strong during this hard time. Her never ending commitment to not only her family, but her community did not go unnoticed, and the community chose to nominate her. Barb felt this story was so touching that she decided to call us at HerSide magazine in order to publish her story. We were so moved, we decided we would make Debbie’s day even more special by working with Eighteen 76 Salon and Spa in Millersburg to give her a new look. The makeover took place in a span of three days. Barb and her team arranged for the family to spend those days at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Millersburg. “One of the girls on our team worked there and said she could arrange something for them. Debbie was so excited when we told her because the hotel had a pool for the kids,� said Barb. The morning of revealing day, I met with Debbie at Eighteen 76 Salon and Spa where she was getting her hair cut and styled by Renee Lemon. She then received a pedicure from Corinthia Sowers and makeup from Rachel Croskey, the salon owner.

I am so greatful and so blessed, yet I feel so weird to be the one receiving all this pampering!

“I am so greatful and so blessed, yet I feel so weird to be the one receiving all this pampering,� said Debbie. Her contagious smile lit up her face as she took it all in. After all the giving she had done for the community and her family she was finally getting it back. At 5:30 that evening, everyone gathered around waiting for Debbie and her children to arrive back to her newly redecorated home. She entered into a freshly painted kitchen with a few additional storage units. The dining area included a recycled table (from a previous makeover) painted along with matching chairs that had each of the children’s names on them. The living room was decorated with new furniture and walls were covered with a picture collage. Barb explained to me that Debbie loved to decorate with pictures, but never knew how to display them. Debbie also loved Bible verses and had them written down on sticky notes all over the house to be inspirational. The Blessings design team chose a few of those special verses and painted them on the walls, as well as the coffee table. Debbie’s room was completely redecorated with a new bed, storage units to replace a closet that was too small. The closet was then revamped into a scrap booking area where she can sit and scrapbook. Enough funds were left over so that each of the kids received new bedding and a toy. To complete the evening, Rebecca from Rebecca’s Bistro in Walnut Creek, served up a homemade meal for the family to sit down too. “You don’t have to have a lot of money to make something new,� said Barb. Old tables and chairs were repainted to look like brand new pieces in the house, and one member of the team was even able to supply stain for their deck which was

left over from a company she worked for. One team member also had some extra paint which was used to repaint the boys room. Seeing a community so eager to come together to help a family in need is very touching. Debbie’s story touched the lives of so many and they were able to repay her by turning her house into a true home for her and her children.

The arts have always come under fire when it comes to determining if a career in the arts is actually worth pursuing. The stories of these local women, prove that if you have a passion, you can do anything you set your mind to. Exploring the arts, even if it is only temporary, can be a great creative outlet and encourage individuals to dig down deep in learning who they are and who they want to be. The arts have a large impact in our county and some of our most popular art centers are celebrating some major milestones. In recognition of their impact on the community, I spoke with the companies directors as well as successful artists and performers that have been key to promoting the arts in our area. The Wayne Arts Center is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year and has helped to educate some of the finest performers, singers, dancers and artists in the area. “We offer a broad range of art experiences for young and old,� said Robb Hyde, executive director. The Wayne Arts Center offers its students the opportunity to explore various facets of the arts from drawing, painting and pottery to dancing, singing and performing. Large gallery space allows children and adults to display their finest works of art and summer camps and classes are held to encourage children to explore their creative side. Dance lessons and voice and instrument lessons are also available for those wishing to test out their musical ability. Stage areas are available for students to let their star quality show and many talented locals come together to put on performances for the community. “We have received a lot of support from this community for the past 40 years and it’s satisfying to know that many people know that this is important to the community,� said Hyde. Hyde spoke highly of a couple of local artists who have made their way by discovering unique ways to express themselves through art. “Being an artist has allowed me to retain an identity and to express myself creatively,� said Katie Balas, a local artist who has found her niche in creating acrylics on canvas. “My technique is of my own creation.

carve images into the paint, then layer thin coats of acrylic color, metallics and tinted glaze over top.” Balas has displayed her work at the Arts Center and has been an inspiration to many young artists looking to create artwork that is unique and original. “It’s important to have a look that is your own, to separate yourself from others and make your work stand out in order to be able to sell and survive as an artist in this economy,” said Balas. See some of Balas’ work at www. katiebalas.com. Another local artist, Susan Shie, has excelled in a contemporary style of art. Living in Wayne County her whole life, she attended The College of Wooster for painting and received her master of fine arts at the School of Art at Kent State University. She is a full time studio artist and teaches adult contemporary painting and creativity workshops in her home as well as in studios around the U.S. and other countries. Shie founded the local artist group Wayne Artists Group Effort (WAGE) in 1986 and is very proud of her group of talented painters, sculptors and many more artistic talents. WAGE has been putting together a yearly themed show for 27 years, explained Shie. You can see some of Shie’s work at www.turtlemoon.com. The Ohio Light Opera will be going on their 35th season and has proven to be a vital connection between the College of Wooster and the professional world. The Ohio Light Opera is known nationally and internationally and can be found right on the College of Wooster campus. “The Ohio Light Opera has been a part of the college since the beginning. The directors had a vision that this would be something great for the College of Wooster and the community,” said Laura Neill, executive director. It’s not only a place for professionals to come together and excel in their craft, but a place where students can learn from the best and pursue their dreams. Director, Julie Wright Costa and Neill both agree that the arts are very important in any community. “I never regret being in the arts. I am so much more a part of my community and the experiences have made me more broad minded,” said Costa.

Growing up, Costa loved music and acting and being a part of plays although her original career path was not focused in the arts. She pursued science and medicine in college never knowing that her love of the arts could actually become a field of study until she found out her roommate was a music major. Costa was intrigued and decided to switch her major, in which her parents were very supportive. “All the things I did as a kid could become a course of study,� said Costa. As a teacher today, Costa can truly appreciate the support her family gave her and uses her love and passion to persuade parents of children who want to study the arts, to let them explore. “Let your children discover this. It’s not just play,� said Costa. Many studies have been done to prove that studying music also enhances a student’s performance in other academic areas. It teaches discipline, focus and hard work as well as unleashing a student’s creative potential , explained Costa. “Studying the arts is kind of like a shopping trip. Young kids are finding out who they are and what they are,� said Costa. Being able to express themselves through music, acting or art allows them to show who they really are. “The arts in general are a way for people empathize.� “Traditionally the arts have a strong representation from women,� said Hyde. “It’s all about providing

an opportunity for people to experience the arts and I think that women in our community have embraced that.” “It’s a great way for women to be strong,” said Costa. “Women in general have a particular skill set to communicate and organize,” said Neill. As the executive director of the Ohio Light Opera, Neill works as the liaison between not only students and professionals but the community and The Ohio Light Opera. She grew up surrounded by arts as her parents and grandparents were involved in theater and music and chose to make a career out of supporting and promoting the arts. As one of her first jobs, she was encouraged to get a job in the box office of the Ohio Light Opera and become heavily involved in the company from there. “At the time, arts management majors didn’t exist,” said Neill. Her knowledge and credibility simply came from doing the job. She learned from her mentor and the mistakes she made along the way which has earned her a great deal of support from her family and the company. “It’s not my job anymore, it’s my career,” said Neill. “At one point I decided that I’m going to bloom where I have been planted and do what I do well.” Her contribution to the arts program has not gone unnoticed as Costa and the rest of the Ohio Light Opera are nominating her for an award for her service. “I have the opportunity to work with people who can’t do what Julie does but they can see the value in it,” said Neill. This is important in promoting the value of the arts in our schools and communities. As the director of the Ohio Light Opera and a passionate music teacher, Costa was told once by a peer “there is no other company in the U.S. that does what we do. You are in the business of changing lives.” Costa takes this seriously and believes that “some young person is going to come here and be changed by the experience. Music changes lives and I’m proud as a women, as an actress, as a musician and being able to share what I have learned with the next generation.” The stories of Balas and Shie, Costa and Neill show the community that there is value in being in the arts. Aspiring young people should pursue their dreams whether that involves trying out your hand in painting, belting your best Celine Dion impression or even working in the department of promoting the arts. The stories of these individuals have shown that if you have a strong passion for it, you can do it.

RESTAURANT REVIEW %< 5$1(( <2'(5 +(56,'( &2175,%8725

I always love lunch dates, so when I was invited by a friend to have lunch, I jumped at the chance. We headed out to Fortune Buffet located at the Northend of Wooster. Fortune Buffet is known for it's Asian food selection. We were promptly greeted at the front door and shown to our seats. Due to it’s buffet style service, it was perfect for an hour long lunch date and we did not have to spend time waiting on our food. As I headed over to the buffet, I was overwhelmed. There were so many things to choose from. My choice was the fried rice and many different meat dishes to go with it. Cashew Chicken, Shrimp & Broccoli, and Chicken Teriyaki. My friend chose a plate of vegetable fried rice. Mongolian chicken with peppers and onions and a loaded potato skin. Then it was on to the buffet with the appetizers. My choice was a Spring Egg Roll and my lunch date chose an Egg Roll and a fried Wonton. I never knew the difference between the two different egg rolls until now. The Spring Egg Roll is smaller and has a different, thinner wrap on it. They were both very tasty. When eating out with a group you don't have to worry about those who do not like Chinese. They also have a buffet set up with “American” food. We had a very nice and quiet lunch and made it back to work within the hour. So this is a great place for lunch date, or an evening out with friends. The convenience of the buffet allows you to sample a variety of Asian specialties. Fortune Buffet offers sit down, take-out and delivery. You can order online or call your order in. The hours are Monday – Thursday 11 a.m. – 11 p.m.; Friday – Saturday 11 a.m. – 11:30 p.m.; Sunday Noon-11 p.m.

Is "Technology" stealing your sleep? ccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-quarter of the U.S. population report occasionally not getting enough sleep, while nearly 10% experience chronic insomnia. Work schedules, caring for a sick family member and technology all contribute to a lack of sleep. Technology has grown from a television to laptops, gaming systems, e-readers/iPads, and cell phones. Being awakened by a text message or an alert from our cell phones interrupts our sleep cycle resulting in a excessive daytime sleepiness, lost productivity, and adverse health consequences. This is especially true if people are alerted to text messages, news headlines or other services multiple times during the night. Even with the phone turned to silent, the worry about a missed text message or call may interfere with a persons' sleep cycle worsening their difficulties with falling asleep or staying asleep. The public needs to be aware that the light exposure from engaging in these technological activities too close to their desired bedtime changes the way their body regulates sleep and wake and may make it difficult for them to initiate sleep. Tips for improved sleep: • Remove light-causing technology from the bedroom. Turn off TVs, computers and other electronic devices, especially your cell phone. • Turn around your digital alarm clock if you have one. If you awake during the night and look to see how long you have until you have to get out of bed, it can keep you from going back to sleep. • Avoid naps if possible. If you must take a nap, make sure to keep it short (less than 20 minutes) and early in the day. • Make sure you are comfortable. Use pillows between your knees if you have back pain and the correct size pillow to keep your head and spine aligned. • If you suffer from allergies, cover your mattress with a plastic cover or use a specific cover for reducing allergies. • Go to bed and get out of bed at the same time everyday to set your biological clock. • Avoid caffeine after noon and don’t smoke before you go to bed or upon waking during the night. Nicotine is a stimulant. • Get regular exercise but not within 3 to 4 hours before you go to bed. • Avoid alcohol before bed. While alcohol tends to make an individual drowsy and fall asleep quicker, it can cause lighter sleeping. • Restrict fluids before your regular bedtime to help avoid waking for trips to the bathroom at night. • Reduce noise or drown out noises you can’t control using white noise. For example, a fan, an air conditioner, a sound machine or ear plugs.

While sleep provides a must needed rest and helps a person feel refreshed and ready for their day, a lack of sleep can also affect a person’s health. Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and depression which can threaten our nation’s health, according to the CDC. For more information on the impact of poor sleep, contact the Sleep Disorders Center at Wooster Community Hospital at 330263-8400.

making people laugh is what she does best

t 82 years young, Donna Fetzer proves that nothing will slow her down, especially not old age. Sitting down for a casual conversation with Donna, you can tell that she was born to tell stories. Just as she recalls how her life has taken her through many opportunities, it’s almost as if you are reliving them right there with her. Donna shared with me how actively involved she is in the community and the arts. “When we were kids there was no T.V.,� said Donna. “Dad liked to write funny skits for us to perform.� She would perform the skits alongside her sister and would do them so much that her father thought it would be fun for them to perform for their church. “As kids, we always thought that we could be all these different things. At one point I even wanted to be a trapeze artist,� joked Donna. Of all these things they aspired to do, it was clear that they felt the most comfortable on the stage. It just came natural to be up in front of people making them laugh. “We called ourselves the pig pen kids,� said Donna. Although they never actually had pigs, they had a small pig hutch that they called their stage. The kids found old pails and chunks of wood to place around the stage for seating. Kids from their school would attend their performances with their parents. “At one point we thought we were good singers,� joked Donna. “We would sing our songs and most of the audience would laugh but no one was really clapping.� That’s when Donna and her sister discovered while they may not have the best singing voices, they sure had a talent for making people laugh. Soon other kids in the area were making up skits and little plays to perform for each other. It was a great way to keep everyone entertained. Donna knew she wanted to instill this kind of spirit into her own kids and when they grew up and had kids of their own she kept the tradition alive in them. She wrote a play for the children to perform, keeping the kids from sitting inside watching the T.V. all day. With a little imagination, a cardboard box became a castle and the dog became a noble steed. The neighbors came to watch the performance and even paid 25 cents for the popcorn.

Many of the neighbor kids liked the idea of a play so much, they decided they wanted to be in a play themselves. And just like that, Grandmas’ Theatre was born. A stage was set-up in the backyard and Donna developed a play for them to perform each year. The interest in Donna’s plays continued to grow so much that they had to relocate to a local church. Through their efforts of bringing joy to the community, they also raised funds to donate to the Salvation Army, Red Cross and help victims of hurricane Katrina and Tsunami victims. Donna’s love of plays and performances led her to become a part of the Ohio Order for the Preservation of Storytelling where she became president. Her keen organizational skills brought the club back on track and brought in a variety of storytellers from around Ohio. In 2000, her and her sister began the Wayne County Storytellers club. Their goal was to spread the joy of storytelling, by presenting their stories to local schools and organizations. Traveling all of the county, they have gained even more interesting stories to share. In 2004, Donna started a local Red Hat Society. “Our white hair does not mean we have given up,” joked Donna. Grandma’s Theatre is still going strong, and has grown to become Stage 2-Grandmas’ Theatre. The theater consists of young, aspiring actors who come together from around Wayne County to perform the short one-act plays that Donna writes. Currently the group is performing a “Whodunnit?” type of play called “The Detective and The Mad Scientist.” The play is based around a mad scientist who makes a mistake, but no one knows who the mad scientist is. The audience is made to believe that it could be the professor, but then maybe it could be the nurse

who is in love with the doctor. At the end, the audience is given the opportunity to guess who the mad scientist is before the play unfolds and the true identity is revealed. Donna’s one-act play writing has gained her statewide recognition as she was asked to perform her play at the Ohio Community Theatre Association - Jr. Fest in Tiffin, Ohio. She was even asked to coach a workshop and teach others about play writing. Many other groups also were inspired to write their own plays for the contest this year. “I just can’t stop with one little thing,” said Donna. “People often ask, ‘why do you put all this on yourself?’ I thought it was fun.” Grandmas’ Theatre has continued to bring out the fun and excitement in her life. “We always find something funny,” said Donna, as she talked about the good times she has had with her friend Nancy Lowery. “We like to bring out the fun in people no matter what.” Just sitting in the doctor’s office, Donna can break the tension by cracking a joke or telling a story. Those awkward social settings where no one seems to want to talk to each other become rooms full of laughter and jokes when she is around. Her love of play writing has taught her that “words are powerful! You can make people laugh, cry or even fall in love,” said Donna. She continues to tell stories and share them with the young people who can perform her stories and turn them into works of art. Donna’s play, “The Detective and the Mad Scientist” will be performed at the Wayne Center for the Arts July 19-20 at 7 p.m. and July 21 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale at Walnut Street Antiques (330-264-3030), The Wayne Center for The Arts (330264-2887) and from members of Stage 2-Grandmas’ Theatre (330345-7177.)

50 Shades of Greige ray has certainly had its ups and downs as a decorating color. Long praised by designers as a "sophisticated neutral" and a refreshing alternative to off-whites and tans, in practice it was often temperamental and tough to work with. The true silvery grays didn’t always play well with other colors and were distinctly unattering to many wood ďŹ nishes. Pair them with navy, burgundy, or black and you were on solid ground- especially if your decorating taste tended toward sports team colors- but there wasn’t much room for gray alongside the taupe, gold and brown tones that have surged in popularity recently. In thirty plus years of working with home fashions, I can’t remember another time when a work of ďŹ ction triggered a color trend. But all of a sudden everyone who had or hadn’t read the books by E.L. James was reminded on an almost daily basis that there were at least ďŹ fty shades of gray. What else would it take to make gray the decorating-friendly color family of 2013? It turns out the answer was (speaking of team colors) simply a little scarlet! That’s right. In “yougot-peanut-butter-on-my-chocolateâ€? fashion, ďŹ guratively opening up the can of gray paint and adding a squirt or two of red- the warmest color in the spectrum- transforms gray from the nerdy wallower that couldn’t get a date to the color every other shade wants to dance with. Look at a sample of this subtly “reddenedâ€? gray next to a true steely or silver gray, and the difference is huge. You don’t see red, but what you do see if the warming effect of adding some red tone to the cool gray base.

G

We call it greige- the warmed-up gray that is halfway to beigeand it has the versatility of both the gray and tan palettes. You can ďŹ nd it in cut velvets with a dusty sharkskin hue that hints of both khaki and charcoal, tweeds that mix gray, beige, and black ecks, leathers with a brown/gray elephant-hide appearance, and even reclaimed wood pieces that resemble weathered driftwood. And the magic is this: whatever we put next to greige looks great. With yellow, lime green, or peach it lends an earthly contrast. Alongside browns and tans it creates a layered menswear look, and with strong reds or plums it looks like those same colors with the lights turned down. Greige is a true decorating chameleon that can make the process of furnishing your room a lot of fun. In fact, if you happen to have a stone ďŹ replace or hearth, you’ve already introduced greige into your color scheme. Just add one or more of the many colors it compliments and enjoy the results.
