Scents can trigger memories. Fragrances can repel insects. Smells can make you hungry. Perfumes can cause physical attraction. In that same vein, aromatherapy affects the human body in similar ways, only more intensely, more medicinally. The science of aromatherapy uses the heightened sense of scents to treat, heal and promote healthier lifestyles.
“Generally, aromatherapy is the study of plant-based compounds,” said Ninette Jackson, a clinical aromatherapist. “Each plant has its own somewhat medicinal purpose. This is something that’s been around for thousands of years. Today, when we think of aromatherapy, we think of essential oils.” A resident of Manheim Township and a one-time lawyer, Jackson has been a clinical aromatherapist for See Aromatherapy pg 3

There are few things as relaxing and inspiring as a day on the golf course. Unless of course it’s a day on the golf course for a great cause. HOPE International, a local faith-based nonprofit designed to aid underserved individuals around the world experiencing financial difficulties, is gearing up this year’s edition of its annual fundraising golf outing. On Friday, Sept. 11, HOPE International’s golf outing will be staged at 8 a.m. at Iron Valley Golf Club in Cornwall. On the same day at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., the event will be conducted at Wyncote Golf Club in Oxford. “For 25 years, this golf tournament has been about so much more than golf,” said Jeff Rutt, HOPE International’s founder and chairman of the board. “Every dollar raised has gone toward giving hardworking entrepreneurs in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities access to the small loans, savings and training they need to build a better future for their families.” In addition to an enjoyable round of golf, par ticipants will enjoy on-course activities and opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals. Currently, organizers of HOPE International’s golf outing are seeking players and sponsors for the event.

All proceeds from the golf outing will go toward HOPE International’s mission “to invest
