The View From This Side

Cover Photography Aesthetic Images

Let me begin by wishing all the mothers who are reading a very Happy Mother’s Day! I have found great joy in being a mother to my two children, and I’m so proud of the people they’ve become. As I have grown older and wiser, I’ve also come to appreciate my own mother more with each passing year! This is a very special time of year, and I’m glad that we celebrate the special women who all share the name “Mom” during the spring!

MAY 2016

As for me these days, I’m crazy busy getting my house ready to be sold. My husband and I want to move to a smaller home and therefore, we’ve spent the last several weeks cleaning out almost 30-some years of possessions in preparation for this big move. Already, I think we can safely say that if we never see another cardboard box again, that will be perfectly okay with us!

Speaking of moves, I am super excited about another move… my son, Tanner, is moving home for the summer to work as an intern! This will be the first time he’s lived at home in almost three years! I am excited to have him around and most of all, excited for the opportunity ahead for him. This is going to be a great learning experience for him and will certainly benefit him as he finishes school.

Through all of our downsizing and packing, we’ve also had a busy month getting our biannual publication, Forsyth Woman Engaged! ready for the spring edition! The May issues are on shelves this month, and we’ve expanded our distribution to include select Harris Teeter and Food Lion stores. If you know of anyone getting married, please make sure you let them know to look for their own copy!

This month, we’re also going to be very busy with community activities, including the Kentucky Derby Party for Hospice & Palliative CareCenter, Clemmons Community Day, Pink Pint Night!, and the NC Wine Festival.

We have editorial to give more detail on all of these, and I hope you’ll find room in your schedule to join us!

Speaking of joining us – May’s GNO is going to be at Medaloni Cellars and this month, we’re inviting the guys! Please plan to join us on May 12th and bring your favorite fella! It’s going to be a great night of fun!

As always, we cannot thank you enough for your loyalty and support!

Thank you for reading, and for supporting our advertising partners.

Their investment is what brings you this magazine each month!

Join us at the SPRING IS IN THE AIR, & THAT MEANS ALLERGIES If your eyes itch, are red, tearing or burning, pay attention to what they may be telling you. You may have eye allergies, or allergic conjunctivitis, a condition that affects millions of Americans. It is a condition that can occur alone, but often accompanies nasal allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, sniffling and a stuffy nose. And, while most people treat nasal allergy symptoms, they often ignore their itchy, red, watery eyes.

EYE ALLERGY TRIGGERS Allergens that may be present indoors or outdoors can cause eye allergies. The most common outdoor airborne allergens are grass, tree and weed pollens. People who are sensitive to these allergens suffer from seasonal allergic conjunctivitis, the most common type of eye allergy.

We are a locally grown, in-season, diverse producer market with select value added products that embrace the slow food movement and values the direct farmer/customer relationship.

Pet hair or dander, dust mites and mold are the most common indoor allergens. These indoor allergens can trigger symptoms for some people throughout the year, resulting in perennial allergic conjunctivitis.

Cigarette smoke, perfume and diesel exhaust may inflame your eyes.

They can act as irritants that cause non-allergic symptoms, or they can make your allergic response worse.

EYE ALLERGY CAUSES Just like hay fever and skin rashes, eye allergies develop when the body’s immune system becomes sensitized and overreacts to something that is ordinarily harmless. An allergic reaction can occur whenever that “something” -- called an allergen -- comes into contact with your eyes.

The allergen causes certain cells in the eye (called mast cells) to release histamine and other substances or chemicals that cause blood vessels in the eyes to swell, and the eyes to become itchy, red and watery.

Tanglewood Farmer’s Market

Because we believe it is important to properly treat your eyes, we are offering skin allergy testing to determine the root cause of your ocular allergies. By determining what you are allergic to, we can better help you to reduce or eliminate your exposure to the offending allergen. This, in turn, will reduce your symptoms.

The beauty of the skin allergy testing is that it is approved and covered by most insurance. We get the results quickly, and the test is noninvasive. The test is performed on the forearms. We will be testing for more than 60 allergens which will cover everything from grasses, dust, mold and pets.

Often times we think we are allergic to something we are not and are taking oral, nasal or topical medications we may not need which could be exacerbating other ocular conditions such as dry eyes and glaucoma.

By establishing exactly what could be causing your ocular symptoms, we can help find the appropriate treatment.

CAN EYE ALLERGIES HARM MY EYESIGHT? Eye allergies, specifically allergic conjunctivitis, can be extremely annoying and uncomfortable, and they may disrupt your day-to-day activities, but they usually do not harm your eyes. However, there are rare conditions that are associated with atopic dermatitis (eczema) and other diseases that can cause inflammation which may affect the eyesight. Chronic forms of eye allergies may also be caused by application of eye drops and creams or even cosmetics.

If you are suffering from itchy, red, watery eyes, give our office a call.

We look forward to not only helping with your immediate symptoms but to also help you determine what is causing them, so you can prevent future symptoms from occurring or, at least, reduce your exposure when possible.

The Goldman Center

for Facial Plastic Surgery – Hair Loss BY MEGHAN E.W. CORBETT BEFORE

AFTER

NEAL D. GOLDMAN, MD Double Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon

• Scar excisions Everyone loses hair. It is common for people to lose up to 100 hairs a day as some hair temporarily stops growing as part of a natural hair growth cycle. However, millions of people suffer from more advanced thinning hair or baldness. We often think about men when we think of hair loss but, statistically, one in five women will have significant hair loss. If you have concerns about thinning hair, Dr. Neal Goldman may be able to help. Dr. Goldman offers hair restoration which gives you more hair with your own hair.

Though he didn’t start his career with the intention of a focus on hair loss restoration, he found an innate joy in offering the service.

“I have been doing hair restoration since the mid-‘90s,” said Dr. Goldman. “When I started with hair restoration, I was able to graft between 300-500 grafts in a session.

Now, we can graft up to 3,000 grafts in a single session. This means more hair in less time for less money per hair. The standard techniques we use have withstood the test of time. They are reliable and reproducible. New techniques have evolved in the past four to five years which have gained significant public popularity. The most popular new technique is follicular unit extraction (FUE) which allows an easier recovery and harvesting of hair without an incision. Using this technique makes it easier to shave your hair in the future without seeing a large donor site incision. I like to do things that make people happy, and hair restoration can be one of those things. Our patients report that the procedure day is a BEFORE

pleasant and enjoyable experience. Results are usually predictable and reliable; the recovery is usually not very difficult. In short, most people are happy with the procedure and the results which is very satisfying.

Individual results may vary.”

Most of us think of hair loss as mostly a male issue, but millions of women suffer from hair thinning and loss as well. “The biggest difference in hair loss between men and women is the type of hair loss,” said Dr. Goldman. “Where men have temporal recessions and crowning baldness, women just have thinning hair. When we restore hairlines in men, we use single hairs or two hairs at a time to provide a natural appearing hairline. When we transplant hair in women, we can use larger groups of hairs and sometimes up to four hairs at a time since we generally place these hairs in an area that is camouflaged by other hair surrounding it. This means we can give more density faster to women than to men.”

Dr. Goldman utilizes many types of treatments for the best outcome based on each patient’s goals and surgical concerns. Whether your hair loss is due to genetics or not, there are several ways to treat it including: • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) that requires no incision • Strip technique which is a transplant requiring no shaving AFTER

FULL RESULTS PICTURED IN PATIENT ABOVE

24 | ForsythWoman.com

• Serial excisions which remove bald spots • Tissue expanders to remove more bald area in fewer procedures • Medications such as Propecia™ and Rogaine™ • Treatment of underlying issues such as thyroid disease or varying hormone levels “Cosmetic surgery used to have incisions that were quite large in the temples and the scalp when upper facelifts were performed,” said Dr. Goldman. “In our practice, we have drifted away from this towards endoscopic surgery which requires smaller incisions. Not uncommonly, however, we have seen patients who, many years ago, have had some type of surgery where there is an area of thinning hair that they just can’t style. We can discuss hair restoration in these areas through excision of the scars, bringing in nearby tissue that contains dense hair or hair transplantation.”

If you are wondering whether or not you are a good candidate for hair restoration, call for a consultation. Dr. Goldman has two offices to serve his clients better! In the WinstonSalem area, he is located at 108 Dornach Way in Advance (336.245.9595); in the High Country area, he is located at 717 Greenway Road, Suite A in Boone (828.278.9230).

Your Massage Therapist & You: Working Together for Your Wellness

In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, therapeutic massage offers a noninvasive and humanistic approach to wellness based on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. So what exactly are the benefits of massage treatments and how do you find the right massage therapist for you? Massage Envy is a good place to start your journey to answering both of these questions.

“The therapeutic relationship begins the moment a potential client contacts us about wanting to schedule an appointment for a massage. Our front desk associates can help in suggesting the type of massage you might need and also find the perfect therapist for you, too. Our staff makes sure that we focus on our brand’s promise… ‘We help you take care of you,’” said Jeffrey Holmes, owner of two Massage Envy clinics in WinstonSalem, NC.

The Consequences of Stress

Massage and bodywork are ways to combat stress by helping us to remember what it means to relax. “The physical changes that massage brings to your body can have a cumulative and positive effect in many areas of your life. Over time, the therapist can learn more about a client’s particular situation and needs, customizing the bodywork performed to meet those needs,” Jeffrey commented. Beyond the benefits of massage therapy to treat stress, bodywork also targets other areas of the body.

Benefits of Massage

“Massage has been found to encourage relaxation and improve posture. Other areas affected by therapeutic massage are circulation, blood pressure, flexibility/range of motion, relief of headaches and deeper, easier breathing. Some clients find that their sleep is better with regular massage,” stated Jeffrey.

Massage Envy therapists work to customize every session to provide the benefits the client is seeking. “We encourage our clients to make massage a part of their well-being journey and our therapists work to establish a relationship to better the clients’ health,” Jeffrey said.

26 | ForsythWoman.com

THE ROLE OF MASSAGE THERAPIST “Our therapists at Massage Envy are part of a family, and their clients become family members; a close bond develops when you are helping people deal with their stress and health issues.

There’s no doubt that our therapists love coming to work where they are supported and encouraged by like-minded people. As the owner of the two Winston-Salem Massage Envy clinics, my main goal is to make our clinics the best place for therapists to call their work home, which makes them better therapists.

When you work in an environment where you feel appreciated, you enjoy your work, and clients have great experiences,” commented Jeffrey. For Massage Envy clients Susan Marks and Susan Spence, their massage therapist, Amy Bofenkamp, has made a huge difference in their individual concerns.

“After my years as a massage therapist, I have found it’s important to have open and honest communication with my clients,” stated Amy. “I have to be a good listener and find out what my clients’ needs are. Having the opportunity to help my clients facilitate their own bodies to heal is very rewarding to me. Sometimes I can see a change in clients the same day; a client can come in with a headache and leave without one, or have sciatic pain and leave dancing on the way out. I’m passionate about what I do and my cup truly runneth over by helping my clients.”

After receiving a gift card from her sister, Susan Spence had her first session with Amy and soon was getting regular massages.

“I’m a marathon walker,” she commented, “and after 26.2 miles, my massage helps my muscles recover more quickly and also helps with my flexibility.”

Susan Marks has been enjoying the benefits of massage for over 20 years – for the past 2 ½ years, at the local Massage Envy clinic with therapist Amy Bofenkamp. “After going to a private massage therapist for 20 years in Florida,” she stated, “I moved to North Carolina in 2011 and my former therapist recommended Massage Envy because she worked part-time for one of their clinics in Florida and knew Massage Envy had skilled and professional therapists. Making myself a priority and getting a massage twice a month has made a difference in my overall health and well-being. Amy and the Massage Envy staff are warm, friendly and genuinely concerned about my needs.”

Massage Envy clinics are located at 1031 Hanes Mall Blvd., Winston-Salem, NC, 336-774-9994 and 3350 Robinhood Road, Winston-Salem, NC, 336-774-8777.

Wake Forest Hearing & Speech

BY MEGHAN E.W. CORBETT

Hailly joined Wake Forest Baptist with a great amount of enthusiasm for the department and what she could add to the services for patients. “When I interviewed here, I was very impressed with the integrity of the department, the dedication to the best evidence-based practices and the patient-first approach to health care,” said Hailly. “It is rare that you find a job where multiple colleagues have worked there for 20 to 30 years. That says a lot about the atmosphere and quality of the department. I have a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree which is the professional degree for an audiologist. Au.D. programs are designed to train audiologists skilled in several specialties pertaining to audiology, including diagnostics, rehabilitation, balance and tinnitus management. To earn an Au.D., students complete a four-year graduate school doctoral program, including three years of coursework and clinical rotations, followed by a one-year clinical externship with the supervision and guidance of an experienced practitioner.

I completed my clinical externship year at a specialty tinnitus clinic where I acquired a passion for working with individuals with tinnitus. A lot of patients came to that clinic because they had not obtained answers elsewhere or had been told to ‘just deal with it.’ I enjoy being able to educate patients about tinnitus and teach them how and why they don’t have to ‘just deal’ with it.”

This determination to help each and every patient has served the practice well and brought relief to their patients through several treatment techniques, including Neuromonics, a noninvasive treatment utilizing a small, portable media player that delivers a pleasant acoustic signal embedded in music that is customized to your hearing. This signal helps to drown out the “ringing” of the tinnitus. Many patients report relief in just two weeks, and that it continues to strengthen throughout the six months of treatment. “The devices are approved by the Food and Drug Administration and have had great success in clinical trials to provide long-term tinnitus relief,” said Hailly.

Those who have suffered from tinnitus know what a burden it can be to everyday life. While some cases are more severe than others, Hailly Humphrey-Rutledge, Au.D. with Wake Forest Hearing & Speech is helping patients with all degrees of tinnitus get some relief!

As a board certified audiologist skilled in tinnitus management, Hailly performs evaluations in addition to consultations for hearing aids and tinnitus treatments. “To a lot of patients, tinnitus is a mystery,” said Hailly. “A lot of my job is education and counseling. Knowledge is power. First, we work on figuring out what may be the cause of their tinnitus. After that, I make specific recommendations and a treatment plan based on the likely cause of their tinnitus and their lifestyle. You will never hear ‘just deal with it’ at our clinic which is, unfortunately, what some patients believe when they walk in our door. Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease. There are roughly 200 different health disorders that can generate tinnitus as a symptom. The exact biology of tinnitus is still being researched. However, it is known that hearing loss and loud noise exposure are the most common conditions that contribute to tinnitus. Other common things that have shown to make tinnitus worse are lifestyle factors, including stress and poor dietary habits.”

28 | ForsythWoman.com

If you are experiencing tinnitus, talk to your primary care doctor. “They can check your ears for medical issues or excessive earwax,” noted Hailly. “Next, see an audiologist for a hearing evaluation. Some patients may also need to see an ear, nose and throat doctor (otolaryngologist) if they have additional symptoms, such as dizziness or unilateral tinnitus. Many insurance companies cover the evaluation; however, patients are encouraged to check with their insurance providers. Medicare covers one hearing test per year, but patients must have a referral from their primary care doctors, which is easy to obtain.

Remember that you are not alone…approximately 15% of the world’s general population experiences some degree of tinnitus. This number includes more than 45 million Americans. Tinnitus does not cause hearing loss and does not mean a person will go deaf.”

The Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery is located on Medical Center Boulevard in Winston-Salem. For more information, call 336.716.3103 or visit the website at WakeHealth.edu.

MATTRESS CENTER If Getting a Good Night’s Sleep is Your Dream…You’re at the Right Place!

they need addressed and what their needs are before I sell them a mattress. For me, being in this business, I think it really goes back to serving people; there’s nothing like going into Harris Teeter and having a customer come up to me and say, ‘Hey, Mattress Man, I’ve never slept so well in my life.’ Or having a customer who has worn a CPAP [continuous positive airway pressure, for breathing] machine for years and now no longer has to wear it to sleep. It’s very rewarding to know you’ve made a difference in someone’s life,” commented Paul.

Although we spend 33% of our lives asleep, we rarely give it a second thought until we can’t sleep. Sleep refreshes us like nothing else, but for millions of people, the consequences of a poor night’s sleep are a higher stress level, difficulty concentrating and fatigue, which can become every day occurrences. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

A very important component of getting a good night’s sleep is having the right mattress. But how do you know where to shop and what exactly you need to look for in a mattress? Paul Smith, co-owner of Mattress Center, with two locations in Winston-Salem and one in Greensboro, NC, knows more than a little about helping you choose the best mattress for you.

“A mattress is a major purchase that can seem overwhelming, especially with the many choices in our area to shop.

Choosing a mattress is very personal and many things have to be taken into consideration before buying one.

Depending on if you have health concerns like a bad back, sleep apnea, snoring… different mattresses can be better for certain issues. Having someone who knows mattresses and the benefits of each type is important. I began selling mattresses when I worked in a ‘mom and pop furniture store’ in my hometown of Wake Forest, NC, during high school and learned that helping someone choose the right mattress for them can make a difference in their life,” said Paul. All those years ago, Paul didn’t know he’d one day make his high school job a career, so he took a bit of a detour along the way.

30 | ForsythWoman.com

HELPING OTHERS ALONG THE WAY

“My dad was a teacher and my mom worked as a nurse, so I come from a family who likes to help and serve others. I had always been a bit of an entrepreneur, so in high school I owned and operated my own lawn care business and also worked in a mattress store. Eventually, I became a deputy sheriff in Granville County, and served my community in different areas within the sheriff’s department, including narcotics and as a K-9 handler. In the spring of 2012, I learned I had a baby girl on the way and I began to reassess life a bit, from not only taking myself out of harm’s way, but to making sure I could afford to take care of a family, so I decided to go back to something that I knew and that I enjoyed…mattress sales,” Paul recalled. In May 2012, Paul opened his first location on Hanes Mall Blvd, next to Five Guys and turned the managing of the store over to his longtime friend, Brad Crabtree. He then opened his second location on Stratford Road.

“Even with the many places people have to shop for a mattress, we are the only locally owned and operated mattress store, so that sets us apart from our competition, which there’s quite a bit of in this area. We can match anyone’s prices. Most people who are shopping for a mattress are sold one, but little time is spent by the sales person to get to know the needs of the customer before the purchase. I make it a point to find out if my customers have any health issues

NOT ALL MATTRESSES ARE CREATED EQUAL

Like most things you purchase, you get what you pay for and the same can be said for mattresses. “You can find mattresses ranging in price from $100 to about $10,000 that will last anywhere from 6 months to 15 or 20 years. There really is no expiration date on a mattress and there are ways to extend the life of a mattress, but most mattress companies have warranties around 10 years these days. There are only a few reasons to buy a new mattress; a lifestyle change where you either need a smaller or larger mattress, the mattress is worn out or it’s simply dirty,” Paul said. But there are very good reasons to make your next mattress purchase from Mattress Center.

“I make sure that our customers not only get knowledgeable service before the sell, but after, too. Brad and I give our customers our cell phone numbers, so if they have any questions, or issues arise, they can always get in touch with us. In some of the big box stores, calling to ask a question is quite a process, involving filing a claim, etc. We are here for our customers from the moment they walk in the door,” stated Paul.

Mattress Center locations: 1268 Stratford Rd. and 3756 Creekshire Ct., WinstonSalem, NC and opening in May at 4401 W. Wendover Ave., Greensboro, NC. For more information, visit MattressCenterNC.com or call 336-448-2363.

“Pathetic Mom Award”

BY DR. DEBBIE LANIER

Have you ever trudged through those days that leave you feeling as if you’ve earned the “Pathetic Mom Award” . . .

AGAIN? Rest assured I have two children with stories to prove my eligibility.

Did I ever tell you about the day I heard my “just-learned-tocrawl” firstborn clunk down the stairs headfirst while I chatted obliviously on the phone? (Thankfully, she was too young to contact Social Services.)

What about the time I lost my toddler in my own house?

(Who does that?) Honest to God, I ran upstairs for one quick minute to put away laundry. She vanished like lightning. After repeatedly screaming Kaylyn’s name in full-fledged fright, I spotted her strolling the lawn. (At least, it wasn’t the street!)

Who can forget the day I unloaded groceries from my car while singing some James Taylor at the top of my lungs? I had no idea I was belting it out loud enough to drown the blood-curdling screams of my sweet girl with her fingers smashed in the trunk.

Yep, for real!

What kind of mother disputes the kindergarten teacher calling to say, “Your daughter has chicken pox”? That would be me. (Look! She received the vaccine days earlier. How was I supposed to know my kid would be the one-in-a-million who catches it anyway?)

Are you convinced? I’m not finished. In fact, that was just a thimble full of saga. The madness continues. You would think I’d have my act together by the time the second tike joined the ranks. Surely I learned a thing or two from the mishaps.

Well, um . . . Not so much.

How about the time I lost my sweet boy in Carowinds? You know, that gigantic theme park with gazillions of strangers?

For the record, he’s now twenty-two and seems OK . . . for the most part.

We won’t even talk about the day I left him at Church, completely unaware until I arrived home. I’d love to tell you this only happened once.

32 | ForsythWoman.com

Moving right along . . . .

Then there was the Clorox scare. Who leaves a cup of poison on the counter for their toddler to discover? A chair pushed to the bar signaled the possibility that he ingested the bleach. I called Poison Control in a panic, only to be reprimanded by the lady on the other end of the line. (Obviously, she never achieved “Pathetic Mom” status.)

I should at least get points for keeping the Poison Control number handy. It proved quite useful when I accidentally overmedicated my daughter on malaria vaccines. See, I told you.

Meet the winner! Pathetic. Mom. Award.

It’s funny how we recall the blunders our children have long forgotten. Meanwhile, they remember the ordinary moments we’ve totally disregarded.

You see, in the end, our children aren’t shaped by the extraordinary events. The monotony of our shared routines reveals our deepest devotion. In that familiar place, they rest securely in a robust love that holds tight, no matter the storms that loom. It’s through the repetition that our children realize we have their back. When the rains rush in, and troubles thicken, they know we are forever fighting for them.

It has taken me years to realize that behind every great kid is a mom who’s pretty sure she’s messing it all up. I recall my mistakes with precision. Yet when I look at my children, I realize that somehow, some way, I got something right. You did, too. We’ve nurtured some pretty remarkable human beings, you know.

We’ve invested our lives in this mission called motherhood. It has consumed our days and intoxicated our hearts. Would we have it any other way? NEVER! I salute you, moms. This world is better because you sacrificially gave yourself for something so much bigger than self. In fact, you’ve invested so wholly in this adventure that at the end of your days, you may just discover that your greatest accomplishment was not merely something you did. Your most noteworthy success was someone you raised. For comments or prayer, contact Dr. Lanier at HopeCommunityChurch.tv.

ROSEY’S REVIEW THE CROSBY PUB | 6205 RAMADA DRIVE, CLEMMONS, NC 27012 336.766.9121 | THEVILLAGEINN.COM | Open Monday – Saturday from 5 – 10 PM

BY DENISE HEIDEL, STANDING IN FOR ROSEY This month, I had the opportunity to fill in for Rosey and visit The Village Inn’s Crosby Pub. They have been hard at work, creating a new menu, and making exciting changes! I could go on and on and on (and on) about the deliciousness of the meals we were presented, but instead, I’ve decided to step away from Rosey’s normal format and embrace the adage of “A pictures is worth a thousand words.” I think you’ll agree… these photos speak for themselves.

AVOCADO BRUSCHETTA New Menu Item! Chef Aracely has put a new twist on an old favorite and if you’re like me, you may never be happy with traditional bruschetta again. This dish is a perfect blend of flavors with a kick of cilantro, and to be honest, I didn’t want to share this one.

BEEF TORTA SLIDERS New Menu Item! Think Philly Cheese Steak taken to a new level. These filling sliders could be a meal themselves and are kicked up a notch with bacon, jalapeno peppers, and sriracha sauce!

34 | ForsythWoman.com

SHRIMP BURGER New Menu Item! When you want a burger without the heaviness or grease, look no further than The Crosby Pub’s shrimp burger!

Finely diced shrimp mixed with panko crumbs, onions, and sriracha sauce, and topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado!

MAC & CHEESE SANDWICH New Menu Item! A traditional comfort-food favorite meets a pretzel bun, and for an added pop of flavor, this creative culinary team has added bacon and a slice of pepper jack cheese.

An amazing twist and a great combination of flavors!

MOFONGO New Menu Item! My husband and I have never had a dish like this, so it’s hard to compare it to anything. A base of steamed plantain stuffed with shredded chicken and pineapple, this is a South American dish that is now a favorite of the Heidels.

SHRIMP ‘N GRITS A traditional favorite, The Crosby’s Shrimp ‘n Grits remains on the updated menu and is a filled with shrimp, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. A Southern favorite with a Crosby-twist!

SEVEN LAYERS OF HEAVEN New Menu Item! The name of this dessert is not an exaggeration. Homemade biscuit layered with whipped cream and ice cream! We were presented with two versions – a bananas foster version and the blueberrystrawberry, which is pictured.

RASPBERRY VODKA MARTINI New Menu Item! David Saltiel, the new bar manager for The Crosby Pub, has created a line of fruity martinis that are amazing!

These signature cocktails will be garnished with seasonal flower petals, and the colorful drinks will be as visually appealing as they are delicious!

CHEF ARACELY AND THE CULINARY TEAM My husband and I love The Crosby Pub. It’s a hidden gem in Clemmons, and well-worth the visit! The staff takes so much pride in the dishes they create, and you can taste their effort. Their signature dishes are reflective of their backgrounds, Southern culture, and love of food! Pictured from left to right: Miguel Mejia, Aracely Cabrera, Adam Dixon, and Daniel Bain.

THE CROSBY PUB IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO GUESTS OF THE VILLAGE INN! IT IS A RESTAURANT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! BAR: YES | LIVE MUSIC: ON OCCASION | AVERAGE ENTREE COST: $10 - 12 GENERAL LOCATION — AT VILLAGE INN EVENT CENTER, OFF LEWISVILLE-CLEMMONS ROAD.

Dear June…

Fresh Ideas at High Point Market We have just returned from the Spring High Point Market with lots of inspiration and fresh ideas! It is great to have such a phenomenal resource just a short drive from us.

Twice a year, we spend as much time as possible perusing the showrooms and exhibits at the market. Though it can be exhausting, it is necessary for our business as we test the comfort of new furniture introductions, explore new fabrics and textures, and purchase lots of fun accessories and antiques for the store.

As always, we started by visiting our favorite North Carolina manufacturers including Hickory White, Miles Talbott, Hickory Chair, and Stanford. These companies have become staples in our store and we are never disappointed with the quality and craftsmanship they offer. We then visit our wonderful accessory and lighting vendors like Currey and Company, Visual Comfort, and Global Views. Others including Bella Notte, Eastern Accents, Traditions, Peacock Alley, and Sferra offer soft and luxurious bedding and textiles.

Natural elements can always be found in many forms at the market. White-washed and natural wood tones have become more prevalent than darker wood finishes. Live edge tables are still very much in vogue. Many vendors have found a way to marry traditional and contemporary styles by combining wood with other materials such as metal and acrylic. Light fixtures inspired by nature glistened with oyster shells and sea glass, while colored coral sculptures accented tables and shelves. Seagrass and jute textures found their way into most every showroom in the form of rugs, lamps, and accent furniture.

In addition to textures, colors inspired by nature could be seen at every turn. Washed hues of delft blue, soft greens, cream, and rose were used to create soft and casual looks. Floral and botantical prints softened straight edges and metallic finishes. Although gray still seems to be the neutral color of choice, many shades of beige and taupe lurked beneath bright pops of red, teal, emerald, and magenta. Abstract artwork along with bird print fabrics and horse sculptures adorned many of the showrooms, bringing in more colors and elements of nature.

As we begin to gravitate outdoors to interact with nature, let us not forget the indoors. Mother’s Day and graduations are right around the corner and it’s time to take a good look at your surroundings and see if your house could benefit from a new nature-inspired accent or two. Visit our website or design center for inspiration and ideas.

Happy Mother’s Day & God Bless,

The Best Breast Health Advice You’ll Hear Today

BY DENISE HEIDEL Our mothers have taught us many things we should do to take care of ourselves. Eat right. Exercise. Floss our teeth. We are mindful of daily habits that can provide better health and longevity. But are we all taking the time for that important annual habit: The Screening Mammogram? Sally Hamilton had heard the horror stories about mammograms and spent the last few months of her 30s dreading her turn. Sally turned 40 and made the appointment. Despite her fears, when M-Day arrived, she bravely squared her shoulders and took her turn at that 40-year rite of passage. Afterwards, she called her best friend, and said, “THAT’S what I’ve been dreading?”

Sally felt that the whole mammogram experience had been grossly exaggerated. “It wasn’t bad! I don’t know why women talk about it being a horrible experience,” she said.

“Everyone’s made it sound worse than a trip to the DMV!” “Many women share Sally’s fears and for some, it’s not the experience itself, but the fear of hearing those dreaded words, ‘You have breast cancer,’” shared Jo Lucas, Administrator of Wake Forest Baptist Health Imaging. The concern is real; after all, one in eight U.S. women* will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime.

“However,” continued Jo, “knowledge is power, and early detection is key to survival.”

Today’s woman is even more empowered for early detection with the development of 3D technology.

Whereas mammograms of the past have been limited to a flat, 2D image, 3D mammograms look at the breast tissue in one-millimeter slices, providing the radiologist with more information,

potentially finding cancer that may be missed during a traditional screening.

“This type of technology is saving lives every day,” said Jo. “We are proud that the Wake Forest Baptist Health System was the first to bring this kind of technology to our area, and this summer, we will have additional machines in place, enabling us to serve even more women!”

attend Pink Pint Night and learn more!

There’s really no excuse not to... Wake Forest Baptist Imaging has made it too convenient to get a mammogram, with hours from 7 am to 7 pm during the week, and Saturday from 8 am to 1 pm.

No one is so busy they can’t find an hour to carve out for such an important appointment! Be sure to make your appointment today!

The good news for women: insurance providers are willing to take on more of the costs associated with 3D mammograms, and even if your insurance provider doesn’t cover the cost – the out of pocket expense is minimal and certainly worth the investment. After all, it’s an investment in yourself and your health!

Wake Forest Baptist Imaging is located at 265 Executive Park Drive, off Stratford Road. Call 336.765.5722 and visit online at WakeHealth.edu/Imaging.

“WFB Imaging is an on a mission to educate the community on the importance of breast health and mammograms,” said Jo. “We’re excited about our 3rd Annual Pink Pint Night on May 19th! This event is a fun way for women to get together, support one another, raise awareness for an important cause, and raise money for Positively Pink Power (3P)!

3P provides financial support for screening mammograms to women who cannot afford them. This event enables women throughout the community to become heroes! Their donations help save lives!”

If you haven’t scheduled a mammogram, please do so very soon!

And if you need a little motivation,

*BreastCancer.org The 3rd Annual Pink Pint Night will bring awareness to the importance of mammograms and breast health and supports Positive Pink Power (3P) by providing mammograms to women who cannot afford them.

Home Staging by Patricia: Staged ~ Styled ~ Sold!

BY DENISE HEIDEL, WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PATRICIA JUSTICE

When it comes to selling a home, a picture is worth a thousand words. With the Internet being the premier place to pre-scout a property, making sure it’s presented in its best light is paramount for gaining actual foot traffic, and ultimately, an offer. The problem most sellers have though, is that they don’t see their homes objectively.

Hiring a home stager is a worthwhile investment that may enable sellers to attract a buyer more quickly and sell their house for top dollar.

Patricia Justice, owner of Home Staging by Patricia, has built a career out of helping stage and style homes for sale. “Staged homes typically sell within 2 – 6 weeks,” shared Patricia, “versus an unstaged home which may sit on the market for six months or longer.” And as anyone who has bought real estate knows, the longer a property sits, the more potential buyers wonder, “What is wrong with it?”

As a home staging expert, Patricia knows that some sellers are reluctant to invest more money in a home they are leaving. However, she knows that in most cases, for every $100 invested in staging, a seller’s average return on investment almost quadruples. After all, buyers are looking for move-in-ready properties. Setting the stage so a potential buyer can “envision” themselves in the house is a key first step. Patricia recommends browsing homes for sale in your area. What do the photos show? Clutter? Too many personal effects? Loud or untraditional colors on the wall? Use this exercise as a mirror to evaluate the changes you may need to make to your home before you list it.

The 2008 crash that hurt the real estate market hasn’t fully recovered. Houses still aren’t selling for what they were, but with a professional’s help, sellers may realize a bigger bang for their buck when it comes to getting an offer. “A seller needs to try to emotionally disconnect from a home before they even list it,” said Patricia. “If a seller is serious about selling a property, then they have to look at it not as a home, but as a piece of merchandise.”

Patricia Justice is a certified Home Staging and Redesign Specialist.

PATRICIA SHARES SOME KEY THINGS TO GETTING A HOME READY FOR MARKET: 1. Declutter, declutter, declutter. Take about half of everything in your home and either get rid of it or store it – cabinets and closets included.

2. Take down and store all personal photos. People looking for a home want to envision themselves in your home, and it is not helpful when they see pictures of people they don’t know “hanging around.” Also, store personal collections. If you have a curio cabinet or shelf full of “cutesies” that reflect your personal interest and style, please store them.

3. Update! How old is your paint? How old is your carpeting, roof, and HVAC system? People today do not want a fixer-upper; they want move-in ready.

If someone wants a fixer upper, he or she will expect a fixer-upper price.

4. Clean the home - spotless! Remove pet smells and stains. It is a nobrainer to be sure your home looks and smells clean and spotless.

5. Curb appeal. First impressions are critical. Your home should say “welcome,” and if your home doesn’t look inviting from the street, you may have just lost a prospective buyer.

New Services Help Achieve a More Balanced & Relaxed You

BY CAROLYN S. PETERSON

“After talking to Amy, I found out about the Egoscue Postural Therapy™ program. I started working with her in May 2015.

My posture had definitely worsened through the years with all the driving I do and the computer work, and I had chronic neck pain and migraines. The prescribed exercises have really worked! Amy changed my life. My posture is straighter, I have no more neck pain and very few migraines now,” said Dr. Allen.

It was for clients like Dr. Allen who have very little time in their day to pamper themselves that ISP added the massage and esthetic services.

MASSAGE & ESTHETICS: RELAXATION AND REJUVENATION

Whether you are working out on a regular basis or are just dealing with life’s every day stressors, therapeutic massage is very beneficial to your body. “We added massage many years ago and have three massage therapists at our studio. Between Adele, Julia and Teresa, several modalities of massage are available. We offer deep tissue, pregnancy, fascial release, trigger point, sinus drainage and medical massage as our specialties. Our therapists have 22 years of experience between them to help your muscular issues,” Amy commented.

Imagine getting a great workout, a relaxing massage and facial at the same place. Most of the time you have to go at least two different places, possibly three, to schedule these services on the same day, but since Inner Strength Pilates (ISP) added massage therapy and esthetics to their services, clients can enjoy all three at one place!

PILATES: THE HARDEST WORKOUT YOU’LL ACTUALLY LOVE!

Julia Morales was my massage therapist during my visit and I left feeling relaxed after having the stress in my neck alleviated, and I found out that I’m not alone in my issues. “Many of my clients have problems with stress, usually affecting their neck and back area associated from hours sitting at a desk looking at a computer. Through treatments, showing the client stretches they can do in between sessions, much of the pain they experience can be alleviated,” stated Julia.

Most people are familiar with the idea of weight machines or free weights at their local gym. But comparing the Pilates apparatus to what you ‘know’ is like comparing apples to oranges. I found this out first-hand. My Pilates session at ISP was my first and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was one of the best workouts I have ever had and I am at the gym on a regular basis. I found out quickly the importance of having a strong core and of breathing properly.

As with Pilates, Dr. Allen has also experienced the therapeutic massage at ISP. “I have had deep tissue and trigger point massage from Adele, which is great for the relief of chronic muscle pain. I have been to several massage therapists in the area and Adele is excellent. I definitely plan to go back to continue with the treatments,” stated Dr. Allen. Esthetics is the most recent addition to ISP’s services and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

“Pilates is unique in that we offer spring resistance, offering progressive resistance. Meaning that the further you stretch the springs, the harder you’re working. With Pilates, you’ll take the springs safely through multiple planes of motion, which can’t be done on traditional gym equipment. A Pilates workout is about core strength and breathing. Most people are amazed at how hard they work and that Pilates is a full-body workout,” said Amy Dixon, owner and instructor of Inner Strength Pilates.

One client at Inner Strength Pilates who has seen and felt the difference that Pilates can make in her life is Dr. Laura Allen, a radiation oncologist at Wake Forest Baptist Cancer Center in Lexington, NC. For Dr. Allen, Egoscue Postural Therapy™, a non-medical pain relief therapy, treating the source of pain, not the symptoms, helped her.

Although I take very good care of my skin, nothing can take the place of a rejuvenating facial, and after waiting far too long, I experienced the best facial I have ever gotten from Giselle Maboudi at ISP. “I have been an esthetician since 1987 and I continue to stay informed on new products that can help me tailor my services to my clients. No matter what your age, you can benefit from esthetic services. Whether you are a teen or adult dealing with acne issues, or wanting help with the fine lines and wrinkles that come as we age, there are treatments to help with any concerns you may have. Getting to know my clients and their needs makes a difference in addressing their skincare concerns,” Giselle said.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

The therapists and instructors at ISP recognize the importance of continuing education and in an effort to help other professionals in similar fields, ISP is hosting several workshops this year.

“Through our upcoming workshops, continuing education credits are available for physical therapists, fitness professionals, chiropractors, Pilates and yoga teachers. On May 14 and 15, we will hosting an ‘Anatomy Trains for Movement Professionals’ workshop. Movement therapists will learn skills to evaluate and offer their clients improved strategies for efficient movement,” Amy commented. Beginning this September, ISP’s owner, Amy Dixon, an educator and mentor for Polestar Pilates Education, will be teaching a Pilates teacher training workshop. “This 6 month comprehensive series will teach students the foundations of Pilates, so if you’ve ever thought you would like to teach Pilates, this is your chance!” stated Amy. In November, ISP is hosting a NeuroKinetic Therapy workshop. This corrective method addresses the cause of dysfunctional movement patterns that are stored in the brain.

Inner Strength Pilates is located at 4983 Martin View Lane, Harper Hill Commons, Winston-Salem, NC, literally just around the corner from Harris Teeter. For information on services, call 336-813-5320, visit innerstrengthpilatesnc.com or contact Amy Dixon at amy@innerstrengthpilatesnc.com. Classes and private sessions are by appointment only.

MOTHER’S DAY SPECIALS There’s no better way to say ‘Thank you!’ to the special women in your life like your mom, sister, wife or aunt, than to give her a little time to herself to enjoy some pampering. To honor and celebrate Mother’s Day, Inner Strength Pilates is offering specials for massages and facials.

TIMELESS BEAUTY 76 YEARS IN THE MAKING

BY CAROLYN S. PETERSON In 1940, W. M. Lamberti opened Lamberti’s, a hair salon, during an era in our city when tobacco and textiles were the foundation of WinstonSalem, NC. Times were hard, and money was tight, yet a lady’s time at ‘the beauty shop’ was, for most, a weekly outing and a must. Most ladies got their hair washed and set, chatting with their hairdresser about family, friends and world around them. Seventy-six years have passed, the city’s hub of activity has changed to the arts, technological innovations and advanced medical care centers, and even though Lamberti’s has changed its location a few times, its importance in the lives of its stylists, spa technicians and, most of all, its clients, has remained steadfast. Because when a woman needs her hair done, nothing comes between her and her hair stylist!

PAYING HONOR TO HISTORY, YET LOOKING TO THE FUTURE The longevity of Lamberti’s is a result of many things, all which come down to a sense of family and a building of relationships between the staff and their clients. “Throughout the years, Lamberti’s Salon & Day Spa has had a tradition of constantly infusing new talent, with the more experienced stylists and technicians mentoring the newer members,” said Monica Rock, owner of Lamberti’s Salon & Day Spa. “This has allowed us to serve multiple generations of clients, taking care of our older clientele, while also serving younger clientele by keeping up with the latest trends. Since the beginning, we have always treated our clients like family; we celebrate with them, we mourn with them and we share in their day-to-day lives. The relationships we build bring them into our lives and us into theirs.

Lamberti’s has the same family feel and hospitality as when I started working here while in college. There’s a little tradition mixed with a little funkiness and fun.”

Although the ownership of Lamberti’s has changed, holding fast to the history of the salon remains important.

Originally located in downtown WinstonSalem when it first opened, Lamberti’s moved to Thruway Shopping Center in 1955 to accommodate its growing clientele, adding spa services in 1991.

Lucy Jones Powell purchased the salon from the Lamberti family in 1985 and later moved the salon to its current location on Miller Street. In January 2015, Monica Rock took over the salon and day spa after having worked for Lucy Powell for many years. “There has never been a moment when someone trained in the style of the original Mr. Lamberti hasn’t owned and operated this salon. The legacy is not stagnant, it must grow to survive. And thanks to the amazing ladies at Lamberti’s, the salon and I are growing every day. Our legacy will continue.” said Monica.

52 | ForsythWoman.com

“It’s important to move with the times, and look to the future,” commented Monica, “and at the same time, our established clients expect a certain tradition of care, and we honor that while reaching out to new clients who come to our salon and spa with new expectations

and desires, making us ever evolving.

While maintaining the relationships we have built, we have also begun a very strong social media campaign to keep up with our newer clientele. Also, we maintain the highest standards of training in new practices and techniques. It’s a true advantage that our more established stylists and new, eager stylists can learn so much from each other.”

It is that more experienced stylist working side-by-side with the newer one that really sets the tone of Lamberti’s. “The established stylists are happy to welcome the ‘new kids on the block,’” said Monica.

“They work like mentors, teaching them the techniques and client relations they’ve gathered over the years. The new stylists, in turn, love to share their fresh knowledge and perspective with the other ladies. Nothing can substitute for experience and a thirst to learn, and all generations at Lamberti’s have those.

It’s a classic southern movie…like ‘Steel Magnolias,’ where aunts and older sisters teach the young ones what they need to know to be the next leaders in their industry, all while generations, in some cases from the same family, come in for salon and spa services. It’s the picture of generations of women taking care of generations of women that makes Lamberti’s so special.”

THERE’S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENCE As in many cases, ‘you only get one chance to make a first impression’ and if that impression is coloring/highlighting a woman’s hair for the first time, a new stylist wants to do her job perfectly and to the client’s liking. In that instance, seeking the opinion of a stylist with 30 years under her smock might be a good idea to get the color just right. This scenario often occurs at Lamberti’s.

“A new stylist can go to one of our established ladies and explain what she is trying to achieve. The other ladies will then give her the benefit of their knowledge and experience and they, along with the new stylist, will formulate the best plan for the client. And as always at Lamberti’s, the client walks away happy and the stylists have strengthened their bonds,” Monica stated.

PAMPERING DONE RIGHT In 1991, something brand new arrived at Lamberti’s…spa services! “Our day spa has been around for over 25 years and offers our clients premium spa services. We focus on the total wellness of our clients, and advise and consult with them on how to keep their skin, nails and body healthy. We believe that we have to take care of ourselves so that we can be of service to others.

If you were to have a consultation with Krista McCart, our lead skin care specialist, in addition to a healthy skin regimen, she would also give you helpful tips to make sure you are treating your body well from the inside out. Wiletta Friende, our newest aesthetician, and Krista work well together to encourage not only skin care, but an awareness of your skin throughout the seasons.

What your body needs in winter is different from what it needs in spring and summer. Our most recent additions are the Ultimate Spa Pedicure, combining DetoXoak™ (an herbal soak for the feet), followed by a 15-minute foot massage and finished with milk and honey exfoliating and moisturizing treatments, and the Aromatherapy Facial, which is a European facial enhanced with

an aromatherapy treatment customized to the client’s tastes and needs. Our spa treatments range from various therapeutic massage treatments, manicures/pedicures, facials, body wraps, and many other treatments, all of which can be combined into a pampering spa package,” commented Monica.

In any business, it is hard to live in the present, hold tight to the past and move to the future with each area in perspective, but Lamberti’s Salon & Day Spa has been doing just that for 76 years with ease. “Our stylists and technicians talk with our clients about their needs, and any life changes to determine how we can nurture them toward total wellness,” stated Monica. “Beauty begins from the time you wake up and choose your breakfast until you go to bed each night. And somewhere in the day, you come by Lamberti’s, and we’ll take care of you and encourage you to take care of yourself.”

Lamberti’s Salon and Day Spa is located at 50-D Miller Street in Winston-Salem, NC. Hours: Monday. Friday and Saturday 9 am-5 pm and Tue, Wed, Thurs 9 am- 7 pm. For more information call 336-723-0791 or visit online at lambertis.net.

Join Lamberti’s for an exciting event planned for Saturday, May 14th, when 10% of all proceeds will go to Second Spring Arts.

Nancy Hall, a loyal Lamberti’s customer, founded and is the President of this non-profit group.

They are an organization that encourages the over-60 generation by showing their artwork, partnering with other existing organizations, and promoting Winston-Salem as a city of the arts and a good retirement community.

They emphasize the connection between the arts and the health and well-being of the over 60 years of age community, and the health benefits of engaging in the arts. Lamberti’s encourages anyone wishing to support this great organization to visit on Saturday, May 14th and 10% of their purchases -- whether services or products -- will go to this great cause. Also, anyone wishing to donate crafts and other items to sell for the benefit of Second Spring Arts should contact Lamberti’s, as tables will be set up for this as well.

CAROLINA SHUTTER & BLINDS

Celebrates 25 Years & a Brand New Showroom

BY MERIDITH WHITAKER

capacity, allowing Brad and Kim to hire three new positions in shutter fabrication last year.

With offices in Winston-Salem, Raleigh and Charlotte, Carolina Shutter and Blinds prides itself on being the locally-owned alternative to the big box stores and national chains that import from China and Mexico. “We have an independent operator, Ricky Brake, who is a longtime family friend and coworker who has taken on the Charlotte market,” said Kim. “Our daughter works in sales, and our son works in shutter production, so it has become a real family affair!” In addition to involving family and friends, and expanding to provide more employment opportunities in the past year, Brad and Kim also purchase their products directly from American manufacturers.

This year Carolina Shutter and Blinds celebrates its 25th anniversary – a huge milestone! Brad and Kim Jones purchased the company from the founders in 2012; it was founded by North Carolina natives in 1991. “Brad had been working for the same corporation for 24 years, and I was a nurse for 20 years but had also worked with paint and decorating,” said Kim. “I have always had a knack for color and design and he can build anything I can draw. Buying this company allowed us to put our creative skills to work!”

54 | ForsythWoman.com

Brad and Kim moved to Winston-Salem from Virginia in June of 2012, and the journey began. They have doubled the business in four years, added new product lines, and moved from a small shop that was bursting at the seams to a beautiful new showroom on Country Club Road. The new location provides four times the showroom space to showcase product samples, including their signature Plantation Shutters which are handcrafted in an onsite fabrication facility. The new facility also increased shutter production

Listening to their customers is another pillar of Brad and Kim’s business.

“We pride ourselves on listening to our clients and solving their window treatment problems with beautiful solutions. Our customers tell us they appreciate the heart and integrity in the operation of our small company.,” said Kim. “We do not do high-pressure sales because we don’t consider ourselves salesmen. I treat everyone like a good friend who has asked me over for coffee and wants an honest opinion on their window treatment options.”

For the 25th anniversary of the company, Carolina Shutter and Blinds is offering 25% off their product lines across the board. Their products range from highquality faux wood blinds made in Raleigh to their hand-crafted wood shutters made onsite. Their brands include Hunter Douglas, Comfortex, Horizons and Unique (Coulisse) Wholesale.

What’s next for this family-owned business? “Our expansion plans include implementing small scale, unique furniture sales, as well as offering interior design services in the near future,” said Kim. Carolina Shutter and Blinds’ talented and experienced Product Consultants can help you achieve your home design, function and budget objectives. Initial consultations and estimates are FREE* and there is no pressure or obligation to buy if you’re not excited about the options and solutions developed for you. All orders are custom made and guaranteed for your complete satisfaction. To learn more, call 336-774-7990 or visit carolinashutterandblinds.com. *A $35 fee may apply for those 35 miles or more from their offices. This fee will be credited to any order placed.

a Perfect Place to Celebrate the Season

BY KAREN JARVIS

Gift giving should come from the heart, but sometimes it’s extremely hard to decide on the best present for a loved one who seemingly has everything.

With spring celebrations of Mother’s and Father’s Days, graduations and weddings, there are multiple opportunities at the Family House to provide a unique, thoughtful experiential gift or donation in honor or memory of someone.

The Family House is a 45 bedroom non-profit lodging facility in Winston-Salem that offers affordable, comfortable overnight stays for families and patients who are in town for treatment of long-term or chronic conditions. The Family House, similar to a Ronald McDonald House, is an alternative to a hospital waiting room or an expensive hotel for people facing the challenges of out-of-town medical care.

“The needs we have are great in order to operate 365 days, 24/7,” said Kathy Carr, executive director of the Family House. “We can offer wonderful opportunities for you and your children, young or old, to spend time with your mothers or fathers as you cherish, honor or remember them. Every gift or volunteer effort, big or small, makes a huge difference at the Family House.”

What better place to start than spending time with family or friends in the kitchen? The Family House kitchen is the ‘heart’ of the home, just as it is in many families. Every Sunday through Thursday, dinner is provided at the home for up to 50 folks. Guests return each evening after a long day in treatment, or from caring for a loved one, and are in need of a decent dinner. “Many forget to care for themselves, including eating a hot meal,” said Carr.

“Meal volunteers are critical in our efforts to meet this need and provide another cost savings for these families.”

The ‘Super Cooper’ sisters, plus a few friends, recently made Mississippi Pork Roast for the Family House. “No one could walk in the doors without commenting about how great everything smelled.”

58 | ForsythWoman.com

Gather your family or a group to come and prepare dinner in the House’s beautiful kitchen.

Also offered are twice monthly

potlucks for individuals who want to help with a meal, but might not be able to organize and prepare a meal for the entire house on their own.

Volunteer cooks will leave knowing that their home cooking touched lives.

“The days were very hard on me making decisions about my husband’s care,” said Mary, a past House guest. “My one bright light was walking through the doors, being handed my key, told to go to the kitchen which was always filled with wonderful smells and laughing people – normal – just what I needed. A wonderful night’s sleep, food, a ride to the hospital. I will never be able to express what SECU Family House meant to me in some of the scary times of my life.”

Perhaps cooking is not your forte. Instead of a bouquet of flowers, consider contributing flowers to the Family House in honor or remembrance of your mother. With every contribution of $35, the Family House will plant a bulb in its yard in the name of a loved one and, by next spring, the volume of color will be astounding.

Naming or donating a tree will represent the legacy of a family member, the birth of a child or graduating student by symbolizing the roots of a tree that will reach into the future.

“Your plaque is a tangible reminder of your loved one’s legacy, and your tree will mature to provide shade and fresh air to a cancer patient who is resting from a full day of radiation and chemotherapy,” said Carr. “These tributes will make a lasting difference at the Family House.”

These are just a few of the many volunteer ideas available at the Family House. For more information on how you can get involved, log onto familyhousews.org and click on the ‘get involved’ tab. You may also contact Lisa Northrop at lisa.northrop@familyhousews. org or 336-793-2822 to discuss group or individual volunteer or donation opportunities.

A Mother’s

Love

“A house is made of wood and stone, but only love can make a home.” ~ Unknown The second Sunday in May is set aside to remember mothers. My mother enjoyed making our home a place where family and friends felt welcome and loved. Now, 91, she says, “I can’t do what I use to do.” I am encouraged she still wants to “do” and that gives me hope. She is a wonderful example to me, my sister, her granddaughters and those who know her.

As a young girl, I enjoyed helping her clean house because that meant we would be moving things around and redecorating. When we finished, mom would always bring in a vase or two of fresh flowers from the yard to place in our home. She continues to have a vase of fresh flowers on her kitchen counter. To this day I like cleaning my house….it just takes me longer because I move things around and redecorate. Like mom, I finish with fresh flowers from my yard, even if it is just clippings from an herb or shrub.

Here are some memories from friends and family about how their mothers made a home: • Decorated our home with pictures of family and close friends using beautiful vintage frames she had purchased at antique stores.

• Everything had its place; neat, tidy and welcoming. This brought peace and harmony to our home.

• Loved Christmas. Our tree was as wide as it was tall to hold all the ornaments. She started the tradition of giving us a special ornament each year, a tradition that I have carried on with my two sons.

• Was a good hostess and did everything to make guests feel welcome in our home.

• Made home a haven where I felt safe and comfortable.

• Baskets, handmade by mom, were used to decorate our home. She has given me a few. Seeing them in my home warms my heart and makes me think of her.

• Even though we moved several times during my childhood, mom always made our new house a home for us.

• Cooked our favorite birthday meal and let us invite a friend to share it.

• Didn’t have a lot of fancy furniture but she made what we had look good.

• Loved flowers and gardening. She shared with neighbors.

• Taught me to give the best I had and that I couldn’t out give God. • Believed each meal should be served family style with the table set properly and everyone using their best manners.

• There were five kids in our family. Mom made delicious meals, and it was important to her that we spent time together around the dinner table.

A home is more than brick and mortar and beautiful furnishings. It is a dwelling place for our families….a place where they can receive physical, emotional, and spiritual nourishment. What a responsibility and what an opportunity to build a home with love inside!

BEAUTIFUL SETTING, BEAUTIFUL SALON FOR A BEAUTIFUL YOU

BY CAROLYN S. PETERSON

One of the most beautiful and historic areas in Winston-Salem is Reynolda Village. As you stroll through the gardens, a sense of peace and a feeling of tranquility come over you. This calming experience is the perfect setting for Aeracura Salon, located in the building that was once the schoolhouse on the RJ Reynolds’ estate, at the entrance to the gardens. Owner and master stylist Christi Bradham said, “When I started thinking about the perfect place for my salon about two years ago, Reynolda Village came to mind. I grew up coming to the gardens and have always loved the gardens and the rich history, which now Aeracura Salon is a part of. As we celebrate our first birthday, this is the perfect place for our staff to continue to grow and serve our guests and community.”

Besides the history and the lush gardens that surround Aeracura Salon, the salon itself is bathed in natural light, another aspect very important to Christi. “As an Aveda color educator, having natural light in a salon helps our stylists to see exactly how color is going to appear. This location is open, all windows, giving us, as stylists, the best possible light. It’s also nice that our guests have a view of the gardens. It’s the best we could’ve hoped for in every way,” Christi commented.

The salon’s name relates back to the idea that Christi had as she planned her business venture. “Aeracura is the Celtic Norse goddess of nature and rebirth; she was also a muse for artists. We are

62 | ForsythWoman.com

surrounded by nature and, as stylists, we are artists. The name fit what we felt, a positive place for beauty, knowledge and personalized attention are combined to create a memorable experience for our guests by recognizing the beauty within us all and appreciating the nature around us. The fact that we are an Aveda salon, a company that has products derived from organic and sustainable resources adds to the overall meaning behind the name,” stated Christi.

Even though everything has come together brilliantly for Aeracura Salon, opening a new salon had its challenges and concerns. “Being located off of the beaten path, not in a strip mall, we weren’t sure how we would be received by the community and guests, but we have truly been blessed from day one.

We have 18 staff members, including ten stylists, estheticians, and nail technicians, offering a full-service salon, featuring Aveda products. A guest can come and have their hair styled, a manicure or pedicure, maybe a facial, enjoy lunch nearby and then a walk through the gardens. As we celebrate our first year, it has been a wonderful experience to have opened this salon, to work with the talented people on our staff and to meet our guests,” Christi said. With all the things to celebrate about Aeracura Salon, Christi and her staff have a special day planned for their first birthday.

“On May 14th, we will be offering 20% off of services and Aveda products for the day. Part of our celebration will be wine

and cheese in the afternoon, as well as an Aveda products gift basket giveaway.

It will be a very special day to say ‘thank you’ to our guests and to have our community come and spend time finding out about Aeracura and what we have to offer,” commented Christi.

This past year has been a busy one, full of hard work, but Christi has seen that hard work turn into something very beautiful.

“As a wife and mom of four daughters, ages 18 to 2, working full time and owning a business could easily become my focus, but my husband Zach and I make sure that family is our priority. With his businesses and my salon, we see life as a team, with the care of our family and home first. We have to say ‘no’ to some things, but the family will always come before anything else,” Christi stated.

Beyond her family, Christi believes in supporting local charities like the Children’s Home Society. “We have made doing what we can in the community with local charities a part of who we are as a business,” Christi said.

The future, like the overall feel of Aeracura Salon, is bright and full of beauty. “We want to keep our customer service at a high standard, offering top notch quality, doing what we do the best we can, giving each guest a memorable, relaxing and enjoyable visit,” commented Christi.

Aeracura Salon is located at 101-A Reynolda Village, Winston-Salem, NC. For more information, call 336-448-0792 or visit aeracurasalon.com.

Second Spring Arts Festival Celebrates Creativity of Seniors

BY JUDIE HOLCOMB-PACK For the fourth year, the Second Spring Arts Festival will showcase the creative talents of seniors aged 60 and above in a day-long festival at Milton Rhodes Arts Center on Friday, May 20. The Festival kicks off at 10 AM with a performance by N.C.’s Poet Laureate Shelby Stephenson, who will play guitar, sing, and recite some of his poetry. Fam Brownlee, a local historian, will talk about “The Power of Story,” the theme for this year’s Festival.

During the day, there will be different sessions for attendees to choose to attend: musical entertainment in the Mountcastle Forum during the afternoon; literary readings by authors whose work was selected to be included in the 2016 Anthology; a panel discussion facilitated by Mike Simpson, Indigo Sea Publishing, on “Getting Your Story Told”; a workshop on “The Inner Artist” presented by Cyndi Briggs; book signings by local authors; and an artist’s reception and announcement of winners in the visual and literary competitions. New Winston Museum will sponsor “Memory Mapping” in the Reynolds Room, along with an array of vendors.

Begun in 2013 by Nancy Hall, the Festival features seniors’ visual arts, including photography and handcrafts, literary pieces that are published in an annual anthology, and performing arts, including singing, musical and dance performances.

The mission of Second Spring Arts is to showcase creative accomplishments and encourage creative discovery for people 60 and above. They partner with existing arts organizations to honor achievements of those in this age group and help develop programs which increase their participation in the arts.

Their mission includes promoting Winston-Salem, the City of Arts and Innovation, as an outstanding place in which to retire.

Second Spring also emphasizes the connection between the arts and the health and wellbeing of people 60 and above and promotes research into health benefits gained from engagement in the arts.

As a great way to end the Festival, Aperture Theatre on Fourth Street will present a special screening of, “My Love, Don’t Cross that River,” a South Korean documentary film that follows an elderly married couple until the last moments of their 76-year marriage. Documentary filmmaker Jin Mo-young filmed Jo and Kang in the couple’s mountain village for 15 months. The film premiered at the 2013 DMZ International Documentary Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award.

The film begins at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are available at aperturecinema.com.

All ages are invited to enjoy the Festival, attend any of the events, and enjoy the musical performances. There is no cost to attend and parking is free. For a complete schedule, go to secondspringarts.org and click on the “Attend” tab.

BY DENISE HEIDEL Six years ago, Jody Peske and John Bost began Clemmons Community Day, and it has since become a favorite local event, attended by people all over the area. 2016 marks the 7th year of this special day, which is coordinated by the Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber of Commerce to help support local businesses in and around the area. In fact, in 2015, 140 vendors participated in the Clemmons Community Day event, and despite the rain last year, over 1500 people came out to enjoy themselves! And what’s not to enjoy?

“Clemmons Community Day is a fun and free community event that has something to offer everyone,” shared LewisvilleClemmons Chamber Director, Ginny Chase. “We will have a bouncy house, face painting, and balloon artist for the kids to enjoy, and last year, the rock wall and Velcro wall were a huge hit!” These activities are coupled with both a DJ to keep the music going and an annual talent show. “There’s no shortage of activities,” continued Ginny. “We promise to keep everyone entertained!”

Michael Roels, of Essential Balanced Bodywork, is a two-year member of the LewisvilleClemmons Chamber, currently serving as Vice-President of Community Service, and is the Chair of the Clemmons Community Day committee. He concurred. “Despite last year’s rain, everyone had a great time. People were dancing in the rain! While we’re hoping for great weather this year, the popularity of Clemmons Community Day has grown to the point that we know people are coming out, rain or shine!”

66 | ForsythWoman.com

According to Michael, the public’s “we’re coming out, rain or shine” attitude is largely attributed to his predecessor, Joanna Lyall, who helped grow and develop the event for several years. “Joanna is an outstanding leader, who has helped pave the way for us to continue with this fantastic event. Though she is no longer in a leadership position with the chamber, she still devotes her time to help with Clemmons Community Day!” In fact, the event has grown so large, this year will be the last one to take place at Jerry Long Family YMCA. “In 2017, we will be moving our location, but will always be grateful for the hospitality of the Jerry Long Family YMCA,” said Ginny. “The 7th Annual Clemmons Community Day will undoubtedly be our biggest yet, and we are excited to transition the event on a high note!”

But before 2017 arrives, we have this year to look forward to. In addition to the activities, food will be available for purchase, and in the spirit of community, Clemmons Community Day is once again collecting food for the Clemmons Food Pantry. Forsyth Magazines is even getting in on the fun for that! For every canned food item donated to the Clemmons Food Pantry, guests will get a door prize ticket for the Forsyth Magazines prize board which will be located in their tent.

Clemmons Community Day will also be a great time to get your “Shop Local” discount card! This $10 card will provide immeasurable savings and will be available for purchase at the Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber tent. “We want to encourage consumers to shop local,” said Ginny. “With the focus of Clemmons Community Day being on the benefits of local, this is an ideal time to introduce residents to the importance of buying from local businesses. With 15 participating businesses, and the discounts available for one year, this card is already a success!”

Mark your calendar and invite your friends! Make plans to attend Clemmons Community Day on May 7th and embrace what the spirit of community is all about!

A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WITH YOU IN MIND!

BY CAROLYN S. PETERSON

Life for most women today is hectic, to say the least. Whether you are single, in your first job, climbing the corporate ladder, married, working to build a family, a stay-at-home wife and mom, hustling from one school activity to another then back home, divorced or widowed, finding your new ‘normal,’ or retired, enjoying life and all it has to offer, our lives as women have so many facets over a lifetime. No matter where you are in life, knowing you are living in an area that suits your needs at any stage helps you to enjoy life.

Welden Village is a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) situated on 385 acres in Kernersville, NC, featuring home sites, walking trails, retail areas, open spaces for gatherings and dog parks, all located close to everything in the Triad. It has everything a woman at any stage and age would want in a place to call home!

WELDEN VILLAGE HAS IT ALL

The concept of Traditional Neighborhood Development is not a new one, but it has never been fully achieved in the Triad. Alan Montgomery, agent with Allen Tate Realtors, the marketing company for Welden Village said, “Welden Village is a uniquely planned development. We will have a variety of housing types, as well as walking trails, retail areas, open areas for get-togethers and dog parks.

Everything that makes Welden Village special also makes it the perfect place for today’s woman to call home.” So how can one place meet the needs

walking trails. A short drive to the grocery store and medical centers will certainly reduce the stress of driving on busy highways,” Alan said.

SINGLE WOMEN

FOR THOSE IN-BETWEEN

“Welden Village will be perfect for all busy, single women because it promotes a healthy lifestyle, with common areas for relaxing and scenic trails for running along a beautiful greenway. The retail district will offer pubs and restaurants you can walk or run to, and grocery stores you can quickly catch on your way home.

Everything you need to save those few and precious minutes in each day will readily be accessible at Welden Village,” Alan commented.

MARRIED WITH CHILDREN

For the women who are married and raising a family, Welden Village has parks, plazas and common areas all perfectly geared for families. “From the Frisbee Park to the playgrounds to the splash pool, there will be a lot of family oriented fun. We will also have community events in the amphitheater, such as movie nights, music and community plays,” stated Alan.

RETIRED

Multi-generational living will also be possible at Welden Village with visits from the grandchildren who may live in one of the boroughs a few blocks away. “There will be several single level homes in Welden Village that will have easy access to the parks and

There will be something for everyone to enjoy at Welden Village. Even if you don’t enjoy walking, anything you need will only be a short drive away and with Welden Village located right in the heart of the Triad, it’s a quick trip to all three surrounding cities.

The beauty of Welden Village isn’t just from the walking trails and the parks and open areas. “Having everything from craft stores, to clothing stores, to medical offices, grocery and specialty stores within walking distance or a short drive makes life less hectic, which is a beautiful thing. There’s nothing more peaceful than strolling along greenways and enjoying the scenic ponds and lakes full of fish and ducks. Welden Village is located in Kernersville, which is quickly becoming a major job center with the Veteran’s Administration bringing about 500 new jobs to the area with their healthcare center. Other companies including Caterpillar, Novant Health, Fed Ex and DeereHitachi are also providing many new jobs nearby,” commented Alan.

NC Wine Festival - Make a Weekend of it!

BY SUSAN WOODALL

If you have been a longtime resident of Winston-Salem, then you will remember when Clemmons was just a nice small town community. If you lived in Clemmons back then, you would head into Winston-Salem for entertainment, upscale dining or a place to shop. This is certainly not the case now. Clemmons has come into its own, and if you have yet to discover that, there is no better time than the weekend of May 28th.

How wonderful it will be to know that, with a package deal, you will check into a beautifully appointed room at the Village Inn Hotel and Event Center and be shuttled to and from the wine festival -- so no worries about driving or parking. That alone would be worth the price, but add on the additional perks of the one night and even more reasons to stay for two, and you and your guest will have an incredible getaway.

The Village of Clemmons is getting the word out about all the city has to offer by awarding grants using funds from the occupancy tax to businesses or groups that highlight promoting the city. Submitting a grant proposal, Forsyth Magazines, Village Inn Hotel and Event Center, Medaloni Cellars and Milner Brothers have put together two very special packages to make for a dream weekend while showcasing some of the wonderful places, businesses and events Clemmons has to offer.

If you would like to extend your stay to explore the Clemmons area some more and make it a real mini-vacation, there is another option for two nights. This package includes a two-night stay at the Village Inn Hotel and Event Center, two tickets to the NC Wine Festival, shuttle service to and from the wine festival at Tanglewood Park, a hot breakfast buffet for two, entertainment in the Crosby Pub and Restaurant on Saturday night, a Medaloni Cellars vineyard tour for two on Sunday, May 29th and a dinner with wine pairing for two at Milner Brother’s Restaurant on Sunday night -- all for $345 plus taxes.

If you are attending the NC Wine Festival scheduled for May 28th, why settle for an afternoon when a much better idea is to combine the festival with one of the package deals that is sure to make the experience memorable? For those interested in a one-night getaway, you can select a package that includes one night accommodations at the wonderful Village Inn Hotel and Event Center, two tickets to the NC Wine Festival, shuttle service to and from the wine festival at Tanglewood Park, entertainment in the Crosby Pub and Restaurant on Saturday night and a delicious hot breakfast buffet for two guests -- all for $160 plus taxes.

The NC Wine Festival on May 28th, is a perfect way to spend a beautiful spring day. More than 25 NC wineries will be setting up tents at Tanglewood Park providing tastings from 12pm to 6pm. This is a great way to enjoy wines from your favorite vineyards and discover new wines to add to your list. In between tastings, you can browse the many local shops and organizations that will be on site, listen to great live music and enjoy a variety of food items available for purchase.

70 | ForsythWoman.com

By staying a second night, you will spend a wonderful Sunday afternoon touring the Medaloni Cellars venue. Comprised of 22 acres of rolling hills located in the heart of the Yadkin Valley, this winery offers a wide selection of white and red wines that are sure to please. After a relaxing afternoon at the vineyard, you can spend time at your leisure before returning for a very special dinner at Milner Brother’s Restaurant.

There, the hostess will show you to the private dining room where your three-course meal will be served. A choice of soup or salad, three delectable choices of entrees, dessert and two wine pairings to complement your meal have been specially selected for your dining pleasure. Milner Brother’s Restaurant will happily address any dietary concerns patrons may have.

What a great way to celebrate a special occasion, or even no occasion, with friends or that special someone while discovering or rediscovering all that Clemmons has to offer.

Part I: How We Made the Decision

BY MERIDITH WHITAKER

It was my husband Will’s 30th birthday, and nobody knew it but him. I was at home, over 100 miles away, and he had decided not to tell anyone he met on the trail about the occasion. To Will it was a normal day – just like every day for the previous five weeks – he would wake at dawn, roll up his sleeping bag, break down his tent, fill his water bottle, and hike. Only 1,804 miles to go.

My husband is hiking the entire Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine – a distance of around 2,189 miles – from March through July this year. Hiking the trail from start to finish in one year is called a “thru-hike,” and thousands of hikers attempt the feat each year (although only one in four finish). As we worked through the pros and cons of embarking on such a quest, I learned a few things about overcoming mental roadblocks. If you’re considering a big adventure of any kind, I hope these five tips will help you take that first step:

72 | ForsythWoman.com

3. SET SMALLER GOALS WITHIN THE LARGER GOAL. A friend who has completed a thru-hike before shared his mantra with us, “I told myself that I could quit at any time – I just wouldn’t quit today.” It was a good reminder about the power of mini-goals.

While Will is within a reasonable driving distance, I am visiting him on the weekends.

He has said it motivates him to know that he’s always coming up on a weekend within a few days – and that means sleeping in a hotel, eating at a restaurant, and resting his feet for a bit.

4. THINK ABOUT HOW IT COULD WORK, rather than all the reasons it won’t. We had so many concerns: financial strain, the burden on me handling household affairs alone, being away from each other for so long. We found, however, that we could manage all of these things for five months.

We tightened the budget, Will took care of many major household projects before he left, my sister is staying with me (roomies!), and we’re seeing each other on weekends.

Everyone’s situation is different, but if you have a goal, try to think through the ways you might make it work before writing it off as impossible.

1. KNOW YOUR “WHY” (AND WRITE IT DOWN). Hiking five miles through a beautiful meadow on a sunny, 70-degree day is a magical experience.

Hiking 15 miles through the pouring rain just isn’t. Will knew there would be days when hiking was the last thing he wanted to do, so he wrote down his reasons for the thru-hike before he ever left; he also wrote how he will feel when he completes his goal, and how he would feel if he quit. Feelings change, but the “why” does not.

5. JUST GO FOR IT! Honestly, we went back and forth for weeks. We wrote out the pros and cons. We felt so sure of everything one day, only to completely change our minds the next. At some point you just have to take that leap; any decision like this involves risk and is never going to feel completely safe (because it isn’t!). You have to decide how important your goal is to you – and if it is important enough, you have to jump.

2. DON’T DO IT ALONE. When we decided that I would visit Will almost every weekend and keep a blog about our experiences, our perspectives changed. It did not feel like a fivemonth separation, but an adventure that we could share together. I got so excited because I love traveling, experiencing new things, and blogging. Being in this together made all the difference for us.

I am so glad we took the leap because this really has been the adventure of a lifetime.

Will and I are documenting it all on our blog, thetreelogs.com, and on Instagram @thetreelogs. If you’re interested in thruhiking one day, if you’re interested in hiking in general, or if you’re just interested in following along on a crazy journey, I hope you’ll check it out online. I’ll be back here for another update next month. Until then, happy trails!

BY ERIN JELINEK OWNER, TWIN CITY STYLE

We know shopping for a bathing suit is not fun for a lot of you out there. It can be a process where you leave defeated after multiple shopping trips. We’re convinced that swimsuits are a uniquely challenging item to find.

Part of the problem is that a lot of the general rules for clothing shopping don’t apply to the quest for swimwear. For example, we often tell clients that if they are shopping for an item and are going to need to try on several styles (like jean shopping), they are better off going into a store. The idea is that a knowledgeable sales person can work with you and help you find an item that works well for your body. However, this doesn’t seem to apply to bathing suits. There are just too many variables with swimwear compared to other clothing items. It seems nearly impossible to find a bathing suit in only a single shopping trip. So, our experience has been that trying to order some styles online can be helpful. Especially because then you can try items on in the comfort of your own home and maybe the process can feel at least a little less awkward and uncomfortable. Case in point, no glaring fluorescent lights with which to contend.

Here are three of the reasons we think it’s hard to find the perfect bathing suit and our thoughts on how you can address these issues: 1. YOU LOVE IT, BUT YOU CAN SEE THROUGH IT. This is a huge pet peeve of ours. We know they skimp on good lining to cut costs, but we don’t want to be able to see through a bathing suit, for obvious reasons. Even worse is finding a bathing suit that looks and feels great, but then you get it wet and, surprise! It’s transparent. That being said, one thing you can do is have a seamstress sew a small padded lining in the top as well as a lining at the bottom. It’s a great solution to fix the problem and make your suit wearable!

2. YOU LOVE IT, BUT YOU THINK IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE. If you are going to be wearing your swimwear on a fairly regular basis, then go ahead and invest in it. This goes back to Cost per Wear, which we have talked about before. Think about how many times you will wear a bathing suit the first summer. If it’s a $150 bathing suit and you wear it twice a week for three months during the summer, you are at $6.25 per wear. If you take care of your bathing suit (see below where we talk about this), you will certainly be able to wear it for multiple summers and then your cost per wear will be even less.

3. YOU CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THE RIGHT SIZE. Are you looking in the juniors department? We know it seems like there are always cute suits in the juniors department, but if you’re an adult woman, you will probably not find a bathing suit there. Not sure if you are looking in the juniors department?

If the sizes are 1, 3, 5, etc., then you are in the juniors section.

Don’t misunderstand – there’s nothing wrong with juniors clothing, but it’s just not cut for adult women. This is especially true of the swimwear. Make sure you are shopping in the women’s department for your swimwear.

More and more swimwear designers are making the tankini or bikini tops with specific bra cup sizes. We highly recommend this option because it makes a big difference in getting a good fit.

Don’t get a bathing suit that is too big because once it gets wet, it will stretch some. Also, some people want to buy bigger because they think more fabric will help to cover problem areas.

It seems ironic, but a bathing suit that is too large will make you look bigger.

Hopefully, some of you will have success finding a bathing suit for this summer. Once you do, make sure you take care of it so that it will last. We suggest always rinsing it in cool water after each wear, and also washing it using a delicate wash every so often. If it’s durable, you can put it in your washing machine in a mesh laundry bag to protect it. If you are unsure, just hand wash it. It won’t take much time, and it is worth it to make it last longer. You need to get the chlorine and sunscreen off of it, so it doesn’t start to compromise the fabric.

Lastly, we think one of the best things you can do is invest in a couple of great bathing suit cover-ups. It doesn’t have to be a traditional cover-up. Think outside of the box and get an inexpensive fun dress or a great sleeveless tunic. Not only that, you will be able to be covered up and stylish while relaxing by the pool or beach.

So take heart, we all struggle to find the right swimwear, but if you follow these tips, you can be looking and feeling stylish and comfortable poolside all summer.

Wedding Traditions Around the World

BY REBECCA OLSEN

All around the world couples are tying the knot and getting married in unique and diverse ways. What are treasured traditions in one culture, can seem foreign in another, as you can see from these wedding traditions from around the world!

In China, couples plan their reception around foods that bring blessings, such as lobsters, which are thought to be good luck. Although many modern Chinese brides wear white to be married, they often change into a second red dress for the reception, as red is a lucky color. Even the wedding day itself is chosen based on when astrology predicts to bring the most luck.

In Pakistan, brides enter Mayun, or seclusion, 8-15 days before the wedding to prepare and go through a series of beautification rituals.

Several games are played with the couple before and during the wedding, including one where the groom’s shoes are stolen during the ceremony and returned when he pays a ransom.

Jewish brides circle their husbands seven times before entering the Chuppah, an open-sided covering built to represent the couple’s new household together. The couple ends the ceremony by breaking a glass as a reminder that life has sorrow as well as joy.

Traditional Indian brides host a Mehndi party where female friends and family help to decorate their hands and feet with intricately handdrawn henna tattoos.

Irish brides are known to wear a horseshoe for good luck and incorporate the ringing of bells, thought to keep away evil spirits.

In West Africa, couples host a libation ceremony. Alcohol, which is thought to bridge the physical and spiritual worlds, is poured in each of the four cardinal directions to honor the dead. Family members then take turns offering toasts and drinking to dearly departed loved ones.

Russian grooms must pay a price for their brides, offering to bring gifts and perform silly tasks for the brides’ families before they will give the ladies up!

In Finland, both the bride and the groom wear an engagement ring, often a simple gold or white gold band. During the wedding ceremony, only the bride receives a wedding ring.

In Morocco, the bride and groom’s friends carry the happy couple on their shoulders or on a specially made cushion around the reception for all to see.

In Germany, family members shatter dishware on the couple’s doorstep for good luck the night before the wedding. The couple cleans up the mess together symbolizing their unity in tackling any challenge.

In Mauritania, girls must fatten up for their big day, eating huge amounts of calories to achieve the curvy figure that is the ideal. Even stretchmarks are seen as desirable in a culture where weight is a sign of affluence.

In Mexico, grooms present their new brides with an arras, or thirteen gold coins. The coins represent both Christ and the twelve apostles, and the groom’s provision for his family.

The bride’s acceptance represents her taking responsibility for their household.

In Great Britain and America, brides have worn ‘something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue’ since Victorian times. The something old represents the bride’s past life and family connection, while the something new represents the new life, family, and unfolding future. The something borrowed is a blessing from a happily married woman whose happiness is meant to rub off onto the new bride, and the color blue is thought to represent fidelity. In some cases, “and a silver sixpence in her shoe” is added for good luck and prosperity.

THE BEST EXERCISES FOR SUMMER

I have been in the fitness and wellness field for over 35 years and the most commonly asked questions are what specific exercises to do that get rid of undesirable body fat (primarily around the waist, thighs and triceps). I also saw the futility of trying to work off fat in these areas by the excessive amount of time people spent on ab machines, abductoradductor machines (thighs), and triceps exercises with little visual benefits.

The most important thing to understand is the difference between lean muscle tissue and fat (adipose) tissue. They are two completely different types of tissue, and you can’t turn body fat into muscle, nor will muscle ever get converted into fat. The next thing to understand is you can’t spot reduce. This just means that when losing, or attempting to lose weight you can’t target a specific area with excessive exercise and expect weight loss from that area.

78 | ForsythWoman.com

Therefore, with that said, you must realize that the loss of body fat in any area comes when the amount of calories burned in a day is more than the amount of calories consumed. Taking into consideration how much you want to lose, and how long you want it to take, determines the amount of exercise you need to do and the reduction in calories you can consume. The best plans I’ve seen that seem to work over time is a 500-750 calorie reduction through an increase in exercise and a decrease in calories consumed. Over a ten-week period, this results in a 10-15 pound loss of body fat.

Now back to the original question of targeting specific areas through strength training. If there is not an excessive amount of body fat in the area you would like to enhance then yes, there are specific exercises you can do that can create the desirable effect you are looking for. I prefer doing exercises that work large muscle groups in the upper and lower body. One of my favorites is the squat press. While squatting with the bar in a front squat position, you come up and lift the bar over your head. This exercise will involve all the leg muscles, along with the shoulders and triceps.

The complement to this exercise is the snatch, where you are now pulling the weight up over the head. This will involve those lower body muscles working in conjunction with the back and biceps.

While doing multiple muscle exercises, remember that the triceps are getting work every time the arm presses or extends, and the biceps are getting work every time the arm curls or flexes. The triceps work with the chest and shoulders (ex: push-ups), and the biceps work with the back muscles (ex: chin ups). There are many different ways to work the abs and obliques (love handles), although it’s hard to get that six-pack look we all desire unless our body fat is extremely low. But I do believe that abdominal strength is one of the keys to preventing lower back injuries and it is an area we don’t want to overlook. My only suggestion is to make planks, both side and regular, a part of your ab routine.

In conclusion, the most important thing is to make sure you are doing some weight resistance training. As we age, this is imperative for overall body wellness.

If time is not a concern in your routine, these are some of my favorite exercises that will have those shoulders and legs ready for those summer dresses!

Mike Rothman,

Owner of Skippy’s Hot Dogs

Local Restaurant Owners Help Out One of Their Own

BY CAROLYN S. PETERSON Most of us go through our lives without knowing the impact we have on the world around us, and we often don’t tell those who make life a little brighter what they mean to us. We just seem too busy to stop and share with the lady at the dry cleaners that her smile makes our day, or that the young kid at the grocery store asking ‘How are you doing today?’ and actually wanting to know, means more to us than something said in passing.

For Mike Rothman, owner of Skippy’s Hot Dogs, working every day since 2002, making his signature, award-winning hot dogs was what he did. His customers mean so much to him, but he’s just now finding out what he means to those he served and to the owners of other local restaurants.

In the early 1990s, Mike Rothman’s job in internet technology brought him to Winston-Salem, NC from Harrisburg, PA. However, computers weren’t his only interest. Mike grew up helping his mom in the kitchen making hard pretzels, which he continued to do out of a workshop on his property, after moving to Davie County. After many years of selling pretzels from a pushcart on the weekends at local ball games, farmer’s markets and festivals, Mike quit his day job and, in 2001, bought New York Bagels and Deli, a restaurant on Hanes Mall Boulevard. After taking the menu and making it fit what he knew best (pretzels), adding hot dogs served on pretzel buns, and renaming the business Skippy’s, Mike relocated to downtown Winston-Salem, and quickly became a beloved eatery.

But this past February, Mike started to not feel so well. “We went to the ER after Mike felt bad for a few days and after several tests, his diagnosis was glioblastoma or GBM, a form of brain cancer,” said Donna Stamey, manager of Skippy’s Hot Dogs. “Mike had surgery to remove tumors, and we were forced to close Skippy’s. He is now with his family in Pennsylvania, undergoing rehabilitation to get his strength back to undergo further treatments in the near future.” With a cherished institution closed, for now, you might think people would move on, but Mike’s fellow restauranteurs have decided to show Mike how much he and Skippy’s means, not only to his customers, but also to the community.

“The week of April 23-30th, Skippy’s Hot Dogs will re-open, 10 am – 8 pm,” stated Will Kingery, owner of Willow’s Bistro, King’s Crab Shack and Silo Bistro & Bar. “Although Mike has health insurance, his care is going to be intense and now, without an income, he could use some help, and that’s what we hope to do. All proceeds from that week will go to support Mike.”

The volunteers and restaurant owners have really stepped up in this effort to help out one of their own. “This effort has become something that we all want to do to help Mike and to let him know how much he is loved in this community,” commented Will. “At this time, about nine restaurants have committed to participating, including Jeffrey Adams, Spring House, Mozelle’s, Mary’s Gourmet Diner, West End Coffeehouse, Kabob’s on Fifth, Sweet Potatoes, Finnigan’s Wake and King’s Crab Shack. Since we announced the re-opening of Skippy’s for April 23-30, people have been calling and wanting to know how they can help. It’s been overwhelming, probably going to be a bit chaotic, but it’s going to be fun and help a great guy.”

Skippy’s Hot Dogs is located at 624 W. Fourth Street, Winston-Salem, NC. The re-opening will be April 23-30, 10 am-8 pm. Visit the Skippy’s Hot Dogs Facebook page for additional information.

Our Journey into Managing Maternity Leave As a small business, the requirements for maternity leave aren’t the same as a larger corporation. According to the FMLA [Family and Medical Leave Act] of 1993, small businesses (under 50 employees) aren’t required to provide paid leave or to hold a position open for an employee out on maternity leave.

Larger companies have more restrictions on what they can and can’t do during a maternity leave, but they also have the ability to shift responsibilities because of the number of employees.

The absence of an employee when a team is small can have a serious impact on workload and customer service.

It’s important to begin to prepare for your team member’s maternity leave as soon as she shares the happy news.

Advanced preparation allows for a smooth distribution of responsibilities to ensure your customer service doesn’t slip and all deadlines are met.

As many of you may already know, one of our key web and graphic designers will be going out on maternity leave soon. Becca Strange is expecting not one, but TWO bundles of joy, so planning for her leave comes with extra uncertainty. Mothers of twins tend to deliver early or require bedrest to prevent early delivery. Then, after delivery it is difficult to predict when she will be able to return. If the babies are early, they may spend a few extra weeks in the hospital. And, my goodness, the need to establish a routine with two new babies will be overwhelming!

But, Becca knows we value her as an employee and team member, so we are willing to go the extra mile by allowing

her the flexibility of setting her own schedule for departure and return. To do so required a realignment of the responsibilities of the team. So how do you determine what responsibilities to place where?

At this point, we felt like we were playing a game of chess. If I move this task here, then that task needs to move there. But what if the other employee doesn’t want to be responsible for that task? So let’s do this move instead… and the game continued without any real solution.

Then we had the idea of involving our team members in the process! We created a list of responsibilities for not only our mom-to-be, but the individuals that would be accepting new tasks and learning new skills, seeking their input through a survey. Each item was placed on a spreadsheet where they were asked to rate the items from 0 (I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than do this) to 5 (I can’t live without doing this!).

This exercise turned out to be amazingly helpful in defining a realignment of responsibilities. We are not only able to feel comfortable that all responsibilities are covered, but we learned a great deal about each of the other team members as well. We learned what they liked and disliked about their current positions.

We learned where they want to grow their skills and how we can provide those opportunities.

The benefits of this exercise in advanced planning were even greater than we imagined.

• We have a stronger team by working

together to realign responsibilities while Becca is on leave.

• A realignment of functions will allow for cross-training within the team.

• We were able to provide opportunities for growth to our employees that we didn’t even know they wanted!

• Becca can relax and know that we have everything covered while she is away.

• We used the assessment of tasks as an opportunity to review items we were doing that may not be necessary any more.

The thought of managing a team through a maternity leave can be daunting. But with advanced planning, your transition can be smooth and there are bonuses to be discovered along the way that you haven’t even imagined yet. But the best part? Soon we will be welcoming two little boys into the Nu expression family!

ISENHOUR HOMES WELCOMES YOU TO THE VILLAGE AT

BY VONDA HENDERSON

Todd Isenhour and his team consistently focus on the intent of their mission statement. “Our mission at Isenhour Homes is that we want to create remarkable homes and communities that we are proud to be part of and that our homeowners love putting down roots in which to grow their futures.” Isenhour Homes has a long history in Winston-Salem, as well as other areas, including Advance, Burlington, Clemmons, Greensboro, Kernersville, Lewisville, Mocksville, Southport, Oak Island and surrounding coastal communities.

Isenhour Homes is especially proud of their new initiative: The Village at Brookberry Farms.

This community is planned as an innovative new concept in the Triad area. The Village is

comprised of 55 lots with homes that bring to mind the allure and style of Charleston and Savannah residences. In addition to its southern architectural appeal, The Village offers an outdoor lifestyle with parks, a pavilion, outdoor fireplaces, a community garden, and an amphitheater. The Village will be a unique place to call home, filled with Southern charm and hospitality.

The Village at Brookberry Farm is a beautiful and imaginative neighborhood that offers an easy, stress-free lifestyle. The community is designed to feature low-maintenance for homeowners. Instead, homeowners enjoy front porches that invite neighbors to drop by and visit. The overall home styles are timeless, with welcoming textures and colors, embracing an elegance and grace of “Old South” charm. This is the type of place that remembers by-gone days when neighbors gathered to create memories that last a lifetime.

Village residents will also enjoy the other amenities that set Brookberry Farm apart – a village center, complete with a clubhouse, workout facility, outdoor pavilion, and the historic barn. Residents will also enjoy the community pool, nestled alongside a lake with a view of the rolling hills that surround the historic Manor House. Tennis, playgrounds, and walking trails round out this luxurious community.

Isenhour Homes offers six distinctly different floor plans in The Village, ranging from 1,900 up to 3,300 square feet. “We have enjoyed the creative process in developing the new plans,” shared the Isenhour design team. “Creating something different with a unique, yet traditional flair is exciting.” Isenhour Homes has an in-house design and drafting team, making customization a simple process. To meet their clients’ personal needs, they can add porches, construct garages (attached or detached), or reconfigure rooms in the design plan to ensure that the home selected fits the clients’ needs and lifestyle.

The Isenhour Homes team takes pride in keeping up with current trends in the homebuilding industry and translating them into their clients’ dream homes. That extra step to make each home unique to their client is an important one and is the hallmark of Isenhour Homes. Prices for homes in The Village range from the mid-$300s to mid-$500s.

For questions about Isenhour Homes’ new community – The Village at Brookberry Farms – or any of their other planned communities to fulfill your dream home desires, contact Cory Brannock at Isenhour Homes, LLC, 3411 Healy Drive, Winston-Salem, NC 27103, via phone at 336.659-8211, or via their website, isenhourhomes.com.

Life Changing Lessons My Mom Taught Me

BY ROBIN WHITE ELLIS There is a visceral truth to the adage that “mothers and daughters are closest when daughters become mothers.” While always enjoying a loving relationship with my mother, I found that our bond deepened when I was initiated into that living dichotomy of motherhood. It was as if I came to an abrupt understanding of her mindset over the years, while also slowly learning this new position of life. My mother was suddenly the Obi-Wan to my floundering Luke.

If someone asked me as a child if I appreciated everything my mother did for me, I would have immediately replied affirmatively.

However, as a mother myself, I am now certain that I never truly noticed the great lengths my mom went to secure my safety and happiness. She endured two concerts with several of my giggly friends because she worried about us going alone. For years, she relegated herself to what amounted to a charity taxi service for us. My social life surely ruined hers! Time after time, she would expend her resources to ensure my joy.

86 | ForsythWoman.com

My mother was my first teacher. She made certain that I knew my letters and numbers before beginning kindergarten. Some of her lessons were unplanned, yet even more intriguing. I used to carry my first puppy around by wrapping my arms around his neck. Much to the pup’s relief, she instructed me gentleness. She encouraged good manners. Even when Mom wasn’t intending to teach, she was an instructor. As she read books, I became interested in the worlds to be found in the pages of a great novel. I watched her crochet and cross stitch and wanted to learn how to create such beauty myself.

It was in our talks that I learned most. Out of Mom’s many lessons, there are two moments that remain fresh in my memory. The first took place when I was four. We were grocery shopping and passed the magazine section. My attention was immediately captured by a cover photo of a little girl. The story was about a child near my age who was trapped in a house fire. Her face was completely scarred and disfigured, only the eyes at all recognizable as “normal” to a child like myself. The image both frightened and fascinated me. I drew Mom’s attention to it and asked, “If that was your little girl, would you be able to kiss her face goodnight?” It was a cruel question, yet I worried that the poor girl would be looked upon with disgust and never experience a loving caress again. Mom’s reaction surprised me as she tightened her hold on my hand and replied fiercely, “Yes! Every day and every night!” Her words weren’t as shocking as her expression and her passionate, vehement voice. Even at such a young age, I was hit with the intense power of love. In that short answer, Mom showed me the true meaning of her “I love you’s.” They weren’t a casual declaration of affection, but a deep, unconditional emotion that was the truest and best part of existence. While discussing it later, I learned compassion and empathy.

The second lesson that remains strong in my memory is a story she related when I was in elementary school. The teacher was covering the Civil War, and I discovered the repulsive past of slavery. I made a comment regarding my relief that nothing like that happened now. Mom began telling me about the long journey of racism and that it did not end with the emancipation of slaves. She vividly remembered being a very young girl herself, shopping with her mother. My mother sat down on a bench, waiting for her mom to pay for the items. A black woman came over and asked my mother’s permission to sit down on the bench beside her. Mom remembers being very uncomfortable that a grown woman would have to ask a child’s permission to rest beside her on a public seat. However, at the time, it was expected for a black person to ask before sitting near a white person. In that discussion, Mom taught me the sad reality of discrimination and a side of humanity that was baselessly cruel. The paradox of this lesson is that she also taught me to be scandalized and repulsed by such actions and to treat all people with respect.

My mother is truly a woman like no other. She brought me into this world and, despite the many temptations I offered her over the years, she didn’t take me out of it! She comforted me, reprimanded me, championed me, encouraged me, taught me, and most importantly, unconditionally loved me. I am now age forty-one and she is still the powerful influence on my life that she was when I was age four. She fully represents this statement by Howard W. Hunter: “Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind.”

First Date Mistakes Ever Google the phrase “first date mistakes”? If you do, you’ll hit the mother-load of dating advice, starting with five first date mistakes and progressing to articles declaring as many as 27 first date mistakes. Anyone making 27 first date mistakes might not ever get to a second date. Then again, sometimes all it takes is one first date mistake to ensure that a second date never happens.

Some of these advice columns are written by men and some by women, though most seem to emphasize mistakes made by men (no shock there). Since most of our readers are female, this article will emphasize common, date-killing mistakes made by women. First and foremost, look at a first date as entertainment as opposed to interviewing a man as a future husband. Keep that in mind and relax a little. Everyone makes mistakes.

Some simple, easy-to-fix snafus include leaving your phone in the car. This prevents a first time dater from constantly checking it for messages, leaving your date feeling unimportant and not worthy of your full attention. You may have turned Mr. Right into Mr. Nobody.

Another big problem is being late. Most

men get really irritated with women being late and again, feel unimportant when their date does not plan ahead in order to be prompt for the date. And while you may be in the habit of having an afternoon drink (or two) when you get home from work, this is not the best idea on your first date evening (maybe that is why some women are late). If you agreed to join someone on a first date, you should be all about him during the date. If you see friends, say hello, but don’t hang out with them and ignore your date. Do ignore the TV or the phone. If the service is bad, be patient and overlook it; it’s not your date’s fault.

And whatever you do, remember your drinking tolerance and avoid getting too tipsy. Being tipsy leads to communication that sometimes should not take place.

Speaking of communication, several date killers involve topics that should be avoided and questions that should not be asked, even on a tenth date, or until you get to know your date a little better. Here are some examples of first date questions to avoid even if you have made it to dessert (these could apply to either gender):

1. Why don’t you look like your picture on Match.com?

2. How many people have you been intimate with?

3. Have you ever had a threesome?

4. Have you ever cheated on someone?

5. Did you break up with your ex or did they break up with you?

6. Is that the kitchen I smell or did you pass gas?

7. How much money do you make?

8. Do you enjoy recreational drugs?

9. How old are you really?

10. How do you feel about sex before marriage?

Don’t let this list scare you. It’s better to talk about something that is mutually interesting than to sit in silence, afraid to make a mistake. Safe topics could include work, hobbies, travel, hometown facts, sports, pets, friends, community service, movies and latest books read. The short list of dangerous topics includes health ailments, religion, politics, ex-partners, or any subject that results in you bragging excessively about whoever or whatever you think is over the moon. Leave the grandkids for dates down the road.

You will make less first date mistakes if you view that date with someone new as a fun night of entertainment. It can be an adventure and should not be a job interview (as if you were filling the job position of spouse). Be yourself and chew with your mouth closed!

CLEMMONS MOVIE DAYS – 2016 “MOVIE NIGHT IN THE VILLAGE”

BY VONDA HENDERSON

Bring your family and join your neighbors and friends at Movie Night in the Village. For 2016, there will be three nights of fun, fellowship, family-friendly and free movies to enjoy. The sponsor for 2016 is Waste Management with each movie sponsored by a local organization.

Each movie will also feature an opportunity to support a service organization in the community.

Movie nights will be held at the Jerry Long YMCA in the front fields. The movies begin at sunset but come at least an hour early to visit and play games on the grounds. All you need to bring are your chairs or blankets. You may also like to bring a picnic; however, there will be food vendors on site. Take a night off from cooking and enjoy Boone Doggies, Chick-fil-A and Kona Ice.

WHAT’S SHOWING?

Friday, June 3: That movie is up for your vote – it’s People’s Choice night. Go to the Clemmons Facebook page and vote for your favorite of the four options.

The evening events will be sponsored by Hayward Pool Products, Inc. Donations may be made to the Clemmons Food Pantry.

You can bring non-perishable foods or provide a cash donation. The Clemmons Food Pantry provides support to approximately 2,300 homes in Forsyth County. For information on what foods are needed or to join the volunteer team, visit clemmonsfoodpantry.org.

FRIDAY, JULY 22: Inside-Out will be showing, sponsored by Forsyth Magazines. Disney Studios released Inside-Out in 2015. This Pixar animated film is about a young girl, Riley, and her internal emotions.

How she adapts to a family move and all the changes that ensue is the theme of the film. Each of her emotions has its own quirks based on the emotion represented.

The Educator Warehouse is the service organization opportunity supporting teachers in Forsyth County. This warehouse takes in school supplies or monetary donations. Teachers sign up on-line to participate and may visit four times per year with an allocated amount to shop for their classroom needs. Visit forsythedpartnership.org for more information.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17: Zootopia will be featured, sponsored by Novant Health. In the mammal metropolis of Zootopia, an animal can be anything they want and live peaceably among former predators.

However, when the first bunny, Judy Hopps, joins the police force, she is faced with solving a mystery with a seasoned officer, the foxy Nick Wilde.

Christmas is coming, and the Rotary Club of Clemmons’ Hand-in-Hand program would appreciate an unwrapped toy or cash donation to support children in Forsyth County. In 2015, approximately 290 children received gifts through this program. Visit rotaryclubofclemmons.com for information on this and other programs sponsored by the Rotary Club of Clemmons.

For more information on Movie Night in the Village, contact Shannon Ford, Marketing/Communications Director for the Village of Clemmons, at 336.766.7511 or check the website (info@clemmons.org). Enjoy a movie under the stars. See you at the movies!

Bring your lawn chairs and/or blankets to the Jerry Long Family YMCA outdoor fields for an evening of family fun!

The fun will begin at least one hour prior to sunset with picnic games such as cornhole, volleyball, and more!

Food is available for purchase and the movie begins at sunset.

The Shepherd’s Center

Celebrates National Nurses’ Week

BY MEGHAN E.W. CORBETT & JUDY IANNUZZI The Shepherd’s Center of Greater Winston Salem, which describes itself as “…an interfaith ministry that promotes and supports successful aging by providing direct services, volunteer opportunities and enrichment programs for older adults” has been working to better the lives of older residents in Winston-Salem since 1985. In honor of National Nurses’ Week (May 6th-12th), the Shepherd’s Center is recognizing four of its most active congregational nurses who work within the Congregational Nurse and Health Ministry program (CNHM).

GWEN STEWART

Four years ago, Gwen Stewart was asked by her pastor to be the first chairperson of the Health and Fitness Committee at St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church.

Consequently, Gwen recruited 14 members to help her survey the congregation.

They expressed interest in learning more about Medicare, diabetes, hypertension and exercise.

As the committee explored ways to meet these needs, they provided the “Walk to Bethlehem” program offered by the Congregational Nurse and Health Ministry Program. Members who participated in the walk reported that they were getting more exercise and they were also connecting socially with other members at a deeper level. Gwen and her committee also created a gala fundraiser, “Hattitude for Hemophilia” event, in honor of a child who has this genetic bleeding disorder. Women came dressed in their best outfits with matching hats. The men wore suits complementing their wives’ attire. A healthy luncheon was served. Proceeds from the luncheon were sent to the state Hemophilia Foundation.

SUE BAKER

Sue Baker has led the health ministry at Trinity Presbyterian Church for more than 16 years. As a retired nursing instructor, she has always been interested in encouraging people to be as healthy as possible and was glad to be able to combine that interest with service to her faith community. Most members of Trinity know that they can get the health information they need from Sue, either through a personal visit, a phone call or email, or her health column in the church’s monthly newsletter. Additionally, as a Healing Touch practitioner, Sue has been able to offer members Healing Touch, as well as offer a basic Healing Touch course for Trinity members. Trinity has gained a ‘Gold’ level certification from the NC Council of Churches under Sue’s leadership.

For more information about Faith Community Nursing, visit the Shepherd’s Center website at shepherdscenter.org/ congregationalnurse.

DEBRA NORRIS

Debra Norris has been the volunteer Faith Community Nurse at Ardmore Baptist Church since 2007, and is also the paid, full time Music and Communications Assistant.

Occupying two positions at Ardmore, church members know the location of her office and often come by to ask questions about a medical condition or a medication, or to have their blood pressure checked. Her other accomplishments include arranging flu shot clinics, guiding her congregation to a ‘Silver’ level certification with the NC Council of Churches, and educating members on portion control by buying measured serving utensils for the church obtained through mini-grant funds. Her willingness to research medical questions for church members, and her skillful referrals to community resources have kept many a member out of the emergency room as they received care they needed in more appropriate settings.

ANNE HARRISON

As a retired public health nurse, Anne was inspired by the concept of faith community nursing. After attending Duke University’s Congregational Nursing Continuing Education Program, she started a Health and Wellness Ministry at Knollwood Baptist Church in 2004, and continues to be active in this ministry.

The ministry sponsors yearly blood drives and hosts guest speakers that promote spiritual, emotional and physical health and wellness. Anne has arranged onsite Tai Chi classes and for members to participate in the “Walk to Bethlehem” and the Forsyth County Walking Program.

Under her leadership, the ministry achieved the NC Council of Churches ‘Gold’ level certification in 2012 and received AED and CPR training from the Strive to Revive initiative sponsored by the NC Council of Churches, BCBSNC and The American Red Cross. Anne has also created a Veterans Day display honoring members of the church who have served in the US armed services. In addition to her service to her faith community, Anne is part of the advisory council for the Congregational Nurse Health Ministry Program.

“With a new build, the design elements and layout will keep future problems with drainage, erosion, privacy and overall usability from happening,” continued Miller. “If you have purchased a home and want to re-do or update the existing landscaping, then that is not a problem either. If there are problems that make areas unusable due to the actions of the previous owners, we will help take care of the issues in the most cost-effective way for you.”

Making Your Property the Envy of the Neighborhood

BY SUSAN WOODALL As you drive around town, you notice people’s homes and yards. With spring upon us, the new life in the budding trees and flowers energize and brighten our surroundings. It can also point out how in need our yards are of professional landscaping and lawn care. Chances are, when you see a well designed and maintained outdoor space, it was done by Miller Landscaping and Lawncare.

For those looking to change their spaces with new plantings, many think it is a simple do-it-yourself project. After choosing several different shrubs, trees and flowers, digging some holes, dropping them in and watering them, they wonder why the plants languish or, worse, die. Miller Landscaping and Lawncare can work with you to choose not only the right plants to enhance your yard, but ensure that the soil is properly prepared and the placement is correct for optimal results.

“Miller Landscaping hand picks all of the plant material at the nursery for a landscape project,” said Miller. “This ensures the plants are good and healthy before they arrive at the job site.

We source out large plant material for the customer that wants the landscape to look grown and full once completed. There is nothing worse than a large house with little trees and bushes stuck around it.”

Living in this area of North Carolina gives us the advantage of enjoying all four seasons. Where some grass, trees, a patio or deck was once considered enough, now our outdoor spaces can be designed for use almost year round. Miller Landscaping and Lawncare can assess your property to create a style and design to maximize your wants and needs while staying within your budget. “If you can dream it, we can build it,” said Miller.

“We extend your living area outdoors. Our crew can build a customized pool or spa,

Adam Miller began his business out of his parents’ basement in 2003. “I took on most any outside projects,” said Miller, owner of Miller Landscaping and Lawncare. “I learned the hard way through experience on most aspects of landscaping and hardscapes. One of the most important features of your property is the layout and design. At Miller Landscaping and Lawncare, we try to be a ‘one stop shop’ for all your outdoor needs. We have the necessary equipment to get jobs done in a timely and professional manner.

This ensures that we provide our customers with the highest quality work. As the owner, I handle the landscape and hardscape projects personally along with a great crew.”

provide landscape lighting, construct outdoor fireplaces or fire pits, seating, fences, retaining walls or just about anything else you are looking for in outdoor living. All of these builds set us apart from most landscape companies.”

Miller Landscaping and Lawncare provides full service maintenance for residential and commercial customers. This will ensure that your property always looks its best.

When Life Makes an Unexpected Turn….in the Wrong Direction

BY LISA S.T. DOSS

The day to day life seems hard. There are continuous worries about our family, work, and finances, stress imposed by unexpected delays in traffic and long lines at the grocery store.

Children are put to bed after several final goodnight super squeezes and hugs. Then, the body falls into a chair waiting for the peace of sleep and the prayers for a better day to be answered. In a snap of a finger, the reality can be significantly worse. Tragedy strikes unexpectedly, and for some, the life that was known is gone. Many of us have a heartbreaking story to tell. We are grievers of spouses, siblings, or our child. So often it is said, “I couldn’t understand your words or your feelings until I stood in your shoes.” Sadly, those who grieve lose more than just a loved one. We are forever changed, and marked by grief. While support is strong, many who once were close family and friends grow distant and then silent. The will to be strong is based largely on the support of family, friends, family pets, a church congregation, and even a word a stranger can offer.

SUPPORT Support and an outpouring of love works in very surprising ways. Each of us could say with 100% belief that we would be supported if a tragic event occurred to our family. Personally, I can remember a friend saying, “At Finn’s funeral, you were surrounded by so many family members. I thought you were part of a big family and had great support.” What may be perceived is not always the reality. After the funeral and weeks and months beyond, grievers immediately know who is supportive. The term “incongruent grief” affects a surprisingly high percentage of families. It occurs when family members who cannot handle their own grief directly blame those who carry the heaviest burden. It is best to allow time and separation to heal the hearts of unsupportive family members and to be surrounded by those who “can” handle pain. Grievers will discover many individuals will carry the weight of your loss and remain supportive. These individuals are clinically termed “secondary grievers.” It is comforting to find friends who can be empathetic and stand beside you. Every day will bring a new difficulty, a new struggle; therefore, grievers will focus their efforts on those who are listeners and not problem solvers or those that diminish the grieving process.

96 | ForsythWoman.com

TRIGGERS Communication is challenging in a household impacted by tragedy. Every person experiences the loss and grief differently.

Two very different roads may be taken to arrive at the same place. Some may want to sleep and never leave their beds, while others will hide their feelings and cry in isolation. When a lack of communication and feelings of darkness tumble into depression, decisions are made such as committing suicide, taking addictive medications, drinking alcohol to dull the pain, or engaging in violent arguments. The pain often begins with triggers – great vivid memories of the accident or the person.

They arrive suddenly and without warning. No matter the part in the death of a loved one, grievers hold themselves personally accountable. The best solution is to seek counseling immediately. Rather than call counselors, contact your local hospice office. Their counselors are trained to assist individuals, couples, and children as young as four. In lieu of addictive prescriptions, try taking vitamins B and D, and fish oil, daily to assist with stress, anxiety and depression. In time, families can survive the statistic of greater loss or divorce, and grow stronger together.

A PAGE OF LIFE TURNS Grief feels like a book of sadness and despair that surely will end, eventually. However, as the leading role in your own story, the pages of life continue on through events, holidays, anniversaries, and seasons. Time will not make it better or dull the pain. As grievers, our days must be survived. Every day is a challenging road. Books on grief, meeting others in support groups, walking or taking a yoga class are helpful when you are ready. As a one year griever, there is pain in knowing someone else is about to start their journey in this dismal club; however, we are not alone. In time, our words and ability to listen can help others survive.

MUDDY CREEK MUSE:

JAY

STEPHENS SOME MAKE MUSIC; SOME MAKE MUSIC HAPPEN.

BY COUNTRY DAN COLLINS

If you happened to be fortunate enough to catch the likes of Dave Matthews, Phish, Spin Doctors, Hootie and the Blowfish, Bela Fleck, and/or the DriveBy Truckers as they cut a swath through Winston-Salem on their ascent to fame and fortune, then there’s one man you have every reason to thank. For nobody has made more good music happen in this town than Jay Stephens.

As owner and impresario of the rock hall Ziggy’s, Stephens provided an answer to the question of what it would take to bring the hottest of the hot up-and-coming acts to our fair burg. At two different locales for more than 20 years, Ziggy’s booked the bands that we would have otherwise had to drive out of town – risking life and limb, not to mention legal citation – to hear play their stuff live and in person.

It was the early ‘90s when Winston-Salem needed a full-sized music hall, and Stephens needed something to do with his life. Stephens plowed a sizeable chunk of the halfmillion dollar settlement he received from an automobile accident – the one that left the former tennis player at Wake Forest paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair at the tender age of 21 – into a property originally called the White Horse Tavern on Baity Street and the rest is local rock-and-roll history.

Egging him on and being there for him throughout the venture were various investors, his brother Spencer, his father Jay, Sr., and assorted brothers from the Lambda Chi fraternity. But year after year, hassle after hassle, booking after booking, Stephens himself remained the driving wheel of a local music scene made so much bigger, wider and more vibrant by his involvement and contributions.

Stephens’ health has not been good since the automobile accident back in 1991. Recent reversals have left him in particularly bad shape, and, inevitably, in need of funds. The management of Muddy Creek Café and Muddy Creek Music Hall, recognizing how much Stephens has given to the music community of Winston-Salem, has resolved to help us all give some of it back.

“For the Benefit of Mr. Jay Stephens” is on Sunday, June 5th, from 1 pm to 9 pm. There will be live music featuring several local/regional bands on the two stages at Muddy Creek to pay tribute and celebrate the energy and vision of Jay, a man who made so much music happen. $10 suggested donation, with all proceeds going to Jay.

Reduce, Reuse & Upcycle

BY REBECCA OLSEN

I love the idea of upcycling – taking something destined for the trash or the recycling bin and refashioning, reshaping, reformatting, or re-engineering it into something even better than the original.

With upcycling, vintage suitcases become a quirky coffee table, broken pieces of an old CD become the iridescent border of a picture frame, a worn sweatshirt becomes a new dog bed cover, half an old globe becomes a nifty bowl used as a table centerpiece. The ideas are endless. The Internet is full of people in a grassroots effort to repurpose everyday “trash” into items that can not only be used, but enjoyed.

For years we’ve been teaching our children reduce, reuse, and recycle, and while recycling is great, it still costs money and uses global resources. Unlike recycling, where products are broken down and used to make other items (which are often of lesser value), upcycling involves taking items as they are and finding unique and creative ways to give them new life and purpose. Upcycling is not a new idea. People who grew up in the depression, a time when nothing was wasted, know all about upcycling. A worn dress might become an apron, that apron a handkerchief, and that handkerchief a quilt square made beautiful by time and skill. Upcycling is also not unique to the US. Walk through a Kenyan bazaar and you’ll see shoes made from tire rubber and children’s toys made from discarded pop cans and bottle caps. Belizeans make use of polished coconut shell and dried seeds to create jewelry. Necessity is the father of

100 | ForsythWoman.com

invention and people have always used the resources they have available, however limited or abundant they may be. But what’s driving the movement in the US isn’t necessarily necessity; rather it’s a matter of conscience for people worried about our conspicuous consumption of resources and looking for new ways to conserve and enjoy the things they have.

Charlotte Holder and her husband Ben recently upcycled a bargain they found at Goodwill. She says, “When I saw this dresser I knew I wanted turn it into our entertainment center, despite the fact that it was quite the eyesore with its yellowish/ pistachio color! It was just the right length and I loved that it had drawers to store things, but I also knew it had to function as a media center. We took out the right side drawers and added wood to the top of each section to make shelves. We bought two unfinished doors to cover the new shelves. Then we sanded the piece back to its original wood surface, stained, and polyurethaned it. We finished the piece by adding hardware and drilling a hole in the back for the cables and cords to go through. With a little hard work, we turned an ugly $20 dresser into a beautifully restored media console!”

The best part is that you can upcycle just about anything. Old crates, tires, wooden pallets, glass bottles, clothing, and more can be used. The ideas are literally endless. All you need is a little ingenuity, a little elbow grease, and the desire to make our planet a little bit better place.

NC Novelist Laura S. Wharton’s New Novel In Julia’s Garden

BY VONDA HENDERSON

The inspiration for In Julia’s Garden was a small two-inch article that caught Laura’s attention in an organic garden magazine about a historic home being renovated. Laura visited the location and shared that, “the stored unfolded immediately.” The novel’s lead character is Landscape Architect Lily McGuire who is assigned to restore the gardens for a similar home under renovation. Her office is located in Winston-Salem and, as Laura shared, “Readers can walk with Lily anywhere downtown.” This is the first of four planned Lily McGuire novels, all set around a garden and the mystery that unfolds.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Meet Laura S. Wharton. She is a North Carolina novelist of sea adventures, suspense and mystery novels for adults, young adults and children. She and her family have lived in Mt. Airy for 10 years, but plan to move to Forsyth County sometime during this summer. She has been a writer all her professional life. In addition to her creative writing, she is a certified technical writer who works in IT for a large financial institution. She is an avid sailor, so it’s no surprise that sailing slips in to many of her novels.

INSPIRATION FOR IN JULIA’S GARDEN Have you wondered how an author develops a book concept and the characters that will entice readers to enter that world for a while and hopefully come back to visit when the next book is released? It’s a fascinating process that Laura shared recently as we discussed her latest novel, In Julia’s Garden.

102 | ForsythWoman.com

Character development is an important part of Laura’s writing process. She develops a character profile for every character in her book. By the time she has the profile complete, she knows what that person looks like (down to hair color, height and eye color), her strengths/ weaknesses, personality traits, political leanings and any characteristic that makes each person in the story unique. Once the character profile is defined, that person remains in character and his or her behavior is derived from the profile.

At that point, Laura refers to them as real people and knows how they will react in each situation she puts them in.

ABOUT IN JULIA’S GARDEN In Julia’s Garden the mystery begins when a stranger shows up at Lily’s office with a package which turns out to be a journal written by Julia, a young woman who once lived in the home currently being renovated. As Lily reads her journal, she steps back into the time Julia lived in the home and the intrigues she was experiencing. Lily’s interest is piqued, and she finds herself searching for what happened to Julia who seemed to have vanished into thin air. For mystery lovers, In Julia’s Garden is filled with twists and turns, and the ending may be unexpected. It’s a mystery worth reading, and I’m looking forward to Lily’s next adventure.

WHERE TO MEET LAURA Laura markets her novels herself and partners with another writer to showcase their work at several festivals and events in the area. She will be at the following events this spring and summer; be sure to look for the tent, “Two Broke Authors.”

• Greensboro Farmers Market Made 4 Market Spring Arts, Crafts & Pottery Show, 501 Yanceyville Street in Greensboro: May 1st -- 11 am to 4 pm • The Kernersville Spring Folly in Kernersville: May 7th -- 10 am to 8 pm • Reynolds High School Arts & Crafts Show in Winston-Salem: June 4th -- 9 am to 3 pm • Firecracker Festival & Craft Show, The Cricket’s Nest Craft Shop/South Fork Park, 4401 Country Club Road in Winston-Salem: July 16th -- 10 am to 4 pm You can also checkout Laura’s website, LauraWhartonBooks.com, to find her other novels and new ones she has in the works. You can also follow her on Facebook.

BOOMER HUMOR: Mighty Mothering

BY MADISON FREDERICK

THE SCARIEST STATEMENTS FROM YOUR CHILDREN “Mom, I know you told me not to, but….”

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t think it would be this bad.”

“Now don’t get mad, Mom, but…”

THE MOST INFURIATING STATEMENTS FROM YOUR CHILDREN

“I forgot to tell you that I need…”

“I can’t wait until I am old enough to move out of here.”

“I KNOW, Mom, I know…”

THE MOST INSULTING STATEMENTS FROM YOUR CHILDREN Ah…..Mother’s Day is almost here (that sacred day that florists, card shops, and restaurants love!).

It is the day that the universe forces you to think about your mother and recall that emotionally-laden relationship you have, or had, with her. There is even a section in the card stores for the “You’ve Been LIKE a Mother to Me,” folks. Hmmm.

This observation just validates the thought that Mother’s Day is a big deal.

And it certainly is!

Would you apply for a 24 hour/7day a week job with no guarantee of benefits?

Of course, I am referring to “mothering” as a career. And it is a career from which you can NEVER retire. Motherhood is the most thankless, demanding, and rewarding job there is. On that, we can all agree. The expectations are sky high (“God could not be everywhere, so he created MOTHERS”). You know all the slogans and tee shirt sentiments.

Like many Boomer babies, I recall that my mother did not “work.” Right. I think a more accurate statement is that she did not work at just one job. She held many and was constantly on call.

So is Motherhood worth it?

Unequivocally, yes! It is a relationship like no other.

104 | ForsythWoman.com

I could fill this magazine with the heartwarming events of Motherhood. Sure, everyone remembers those behavioral markers of first step, first words, first prom, etc. But what about those tough times of mothering? Those times when you wanted to turn in your Motherhood badge?

“Mrs. Frederick, this is Mr. Jones from school. Could you come over for a conference after lunch today? We need to discuss Joey’s behavior.”

“Mrs. Frederick, we need you to pick up Junior as soon as possible. He has violated our No Biting policy.”

“Mom, I didn’t make the team! It is so unfair.”

And in mothering, it is not just what you do that can be a problem; it is also what you don’t do. For example, you don’t ask too many questions when their friends are visiting. You don’t talk to the coach about the lack of his/her playing time. You don’t hover, but you are close enough to lend money when needed. You don’t act too young or too old. You must be discreet and parentally appropriate (whatever that is). And trust me, it is a moving target.

Yes, there are some tough mothering passages in life. I offer to you some mother-related lists that you won’t find in the Hallmark shops.

“Why can’t you be like _______’s mom?”

“You are just too old to understand this, Mom, but…”

“When I have kids, I’m never going to ……….like you do.”

Yet, somehow, if we can manage to get through all the tough times of mothering, we finally reach a refined relationship of love and respect deeper than any other. We can look back on those special moments – kindergarten orientation, Halloween, ballgames, dances, graduation – and cherish the memories. Some of the most significant memories are those unexpected ones, the unplanned times when you are in the moment with your child, like car conversations, late-night chats, and unexpected hugs.

Surely the best statements ever are: “I want you to meet my mom.”

“That’s not how my mom did it.”

“Mom, I want to be just like you when I grow up.”

“Mom, I love you.”

Is Motherhood worth it? Without a doubt!

Enjoy this special day dedicated to you.

You earned it!!

31st Anniversary of Keeping NC Beautiful

BY LISA S.T. DOSS

Home is more than just an address, a physical place to build memories with family. The definition expands beyond our neighborhoods and communities to historical places like Kitty Hawk and down the Cape Fear River to Bald Head Island, stretching from cities and mountain paths to Cherokee and pointing northeast to Hanging Rock State Park. No matter whether we travel near or far, we are always home among our Frazier firs and flowering dogwoods, loggerhead turtles and elk herds. Our flora and fauna rest in our protection. It sounds like a job belonging to interest groups and other communities; yet, keeping North Carolina beautiful rests in our hands every day of the year.

HISTORY In 1984, the North Carolina Department of Transportation sought to reduce litter while supporting the efforts of “Keep America Beautiful” in each statewide community. One year later, the motto “Keep North Carolina Beautiful” [KNCB] was established. The motto may appear in the form of a sign along highways and in city limits, yet we are constantly reminded of the beauty our state contains. It is noticeable when one city or town has abundant trees or flower beds, and the roads or pathways are clean. Yes, today, the organization of KNCB services 33 out of 100 counties in our state, and the number is ever growing.

GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION While beautification, recycling, and anti-litter programs are significant to the mission, KNCB is largely a grassroots organization. Volunteers arrive at organized events to merely lend a helping hand. It is through word of mouth and people who desire to “Keep North Carolina Beautiful” that an organization such as KNCB continues to thrive. With the tremendous support of over 720 volunteers in Winston-Salem last year, 14,000 pounds of trash was removed from our streets, parks, schools, and creeks. Organizations, troops, clubs, and businesses have logged significant hours to collect litter; as a result of manpower and a belief in beautification, our community has saved tax dollars. Help is always needed, especially to anyone who wishes to adopt a street, a stream, a park, or a flower bed.

UPCOMING EVENTS If you are interested in participating, there are wonderful educational activities including a wide-range of cleaning and planting efforts in our state throughout the year. Check out keepncbeautiful.org and kwsb.cityofws.org. Sign up is required.

PROGRAMS INCLUDE: • The Great American Cleanup in Winston-Salem (March) • Forsyth County Creek Week, focused on waterways (April) • In area public schools, the “Clean and Green Awards” (spring) • The Annual Flower Bed Program (winners announced in spring) • The Big Sweep waterway cleanup (October 1, 2016) • Community Roots Day, annual tree planting event (October 15, 2016) • Annual Flower Bulb Distribution (canceled event, 2016) • The Cigarette Litter Prevention Program (ongoing) ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF LITTER We often look at trash and despise its appearance in ditches or along the street. More than likely, the trash we found was one of three items: a snack wrapper, a beverage container, or a cigarette butt. It we cannot take personal responsibility for it, a greater force will carry it away: the winds. One study determined 18 percent of litter will end up in a waterway such as a river, stream, or ocean. The most toxic elements, cadmium, lead, and arsenic, are found in cigarette butts. Just imagine these particular elements poisoning our waterways for 12 years (the time it takes for a butt to decompose). The burden of a litter cleanup usually falls on our state’s Department of Transportation; however, through great organizations such as Keep North Carolina Beautiful, individual communities are making great strides in education and creating safer environments while improving community aesthetics. Our state cannot stay beautiful without assistance. From small efforts to community sponsored events, maintaining the natural beauty of our state requires everyone’s help.

BY MERIDITH WHITAKER One February day in 1960, four African-American college students sat down at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro and refused to move after they were denied service. This peaceful challenge to racial inequality attracted national attention and sparked similar movements in nearby cities, including WinstonSalem. Groups of students from Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem State Teacher’s College (now Winston-Salem State University) held a sit-in only one week after the famous Greensboro protest. Twenty-one students were arrested that day, both white and black.

This non-violent demonstration, along with other local efforts, led to the desegregation of Winston-Salem’s restaurants and lunch counters that same year. It took many individuals working together with a common vision to tackle a big problem and change a flawed system - none of them could have made the same impact alone.

“Each one of us can make a difference.

Together we make change.”

– Barbara Mikulski

What happened at Woolworth’s was a simple gesture that required great courage. These college students were advocates for an ideal they believed in and people they wanted to support. The Women’s Fund of Winston-Salem believes that everyone can participate in advocacy; it can mean something as simple as showing up at the polls to vote or as engaging as speaking with and writing letters to legislators for legislative change at the local, state, or national level. Your advocacy efforts may not look like the Woolworth’s sit-ins, but the passion for social justice is the same.

In official terms, advocacy is “the active support of an idea or cause expressed through strategies and methods that influence the opinions and decisions of people and organizations.” In simple terms, advocacy is standing up for the things you value. If you participate in the PTA at your child’s school, you are an advocate for the school and those children.

If you make an effort to shop local, you are an advocate for small businesses and the economic health of your community. The list goes on and on, but the point is this – you are already participating in advocacy, because you care about something.

So whom or what are you an advocate for? The Women’s Fund of Winston-Salem’s mission is to improve the lives of women and girls by building a community of female philanthropists who provide grants to local programs, and initiatives that address the root causes of social issues impacting the women and girls in Forsyth County. Did you know that 44% of female-headed households in Forsyth County live below the poverty line? If you share our concern for the economic security of women and girls, we hope you’ll join us. As the Woolworth’s sit-in story reminds us, “Each one of us can make a difference. Together we make change.” Let’s make change together.

Military Museums Worth the Visit

BY VONDA HENDERSON

items on display from World War I and II, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf Wars, Grenada, Panama, Operation Restore Hope and Operation Enduring Freedom. Displays include weapons (light armor, handguns, and rifles) and uniforms for the US troops, as well as from enemies captured in battle. Manuel Noriega’s nametag and military uniform are displayed from Operation Just Cause. The museum also shows a 25-minute film of the 82nd’s history.

As we near Memorial Day and pause to remember our military heroes, it’s also fitting to reflect on what it was like at the time of their service. Perhaps you have family members who served in past wars but know very little of what their lives were like. What were their weapons? What did their uniform look like? What did they have to eat and what comforts did they have when on the lines? What better way to get a perspective than to visit a military museum?

Preserving the heritage of the military for prosperity is important; it gives a reality that reading a history book cannot achieve. Knowing that at some time in the past, someone wore those garments and carried those weapons to protect our country gives testimony to their sacrifice and the reason that we honor their service.

We are fortunate to have several museums close enough for a day trip. Fort Bragg is around a three-hour trip from Winston-Salem and is home to three military museums.

When visiting Fort Bragg, you’ll need to show a photo ID, and a vehicle search is also required before driving onto the property.

The 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum has about 75,000 visitors per year and has been open to the public since 1945. There are additional family activities planned for museum visitors at Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. The museum highlights the history of the 82nd Airborne Division from 1917 to present day. There are approximately 5,000

The Airborne and Special Operations Museum, open since 1999, displays artifacts from 1940 to present. A special sight is the C-47 “Skytrain” plane suspended from the ceiling with a jumper ready at the door. A combat glider, a rare treasure, is also displayed, along with helicopters and other aviation-related items. Enjoy the film “Descending from the Clouds” to get a perspective of what it was like to drop into a battle area. The Pitch, Roll and Yaw Motion Simulator provides a first-hand experience of what it really felt like.

The first Black Hawk downed in the Battle of Mogadishu is on display (depicted in the film Black Hawk Down). Later in 2016, an exhibition is planned to showcase the efforts of the Monuments Men to rescue artwork and artifacts taken by the Nazis during World War II. This group of 345 men and women were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2015 for their efforts in reclaiming these treasures.

The John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Museum has been open since 1963 and is dedicated to preserving the history of Special Forces, Military Information Support Operations, and the Civil Affairs Unit. On display is a large collection of World War I and World War II propaganda posters. Other displays include the US Army Indian Scouts of the 19th century; the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) (the wartime intelligence service for the US in World War II and predecessor to the CIA); the first Special Services Force (during World War II, approximately 1,800 American and Canadian men formed a commando unit trained in stealth, hand-to-hand combat, and other non-traditional methods); and Merrill’s Marauders (famous for their jungle tactics behind Japanese lines). There is also a piece of the World Trade Center.

These and other military museums have such historic significance. Visiting them, as part of a school field trip or a family outing, is a way to honor our military heroes and let them know we value their service to our country.

n e h c Kit tcuts Shor IDEL

SE HE

NI

BY DE

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home. Since most families spend a lot of time in the kitchen, making sure it runs efficiently only makes sense! And if there’s a shortcut to be had – then by all means, let’s figure it out! After all, while you may spend a lot of time in the kitchen, you likely don’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning!

Put that baking sheet to work for more than baking!

If you’re using a lot of ingredients, line them up on a spare baking sheet before you get started. Or, if you’re measuring flour, sugar, or other potentially messy ingredients, measure on the baking sheet to keep spills at a minimum for easy clean up.

Use a pizza cutter for more than just pizza!

If you have a bowl of lettuce to chop, or some fresh herbs that need cutting, use a pizza cutter to speed up the process.

Use a trash bowl while cooking.

Instead of trying to run back and forth to the trashcan, designate a bowl large enough to hold egg shells, scraps, and other garbage on the counter until you’re finished.

Quickly defrost meat.

It’s so frustrating to come home from work and realize you forgot to thaw meat for dinner. Sure, you can defrost in the microwave, but it’s not that quick and, frankly, it makes the meat rubbery. Instead, place the frozen meat in a plastic bag and put it on top of an upside down aluminum pot.

Fill another pot with room temperature water and put it on top of the meat.

Your meat will be defrosted within 10 minutes.

Use an egg slicer for more than eggs.

Your egg slicer can create quick and even slices for strawberries, avocados, mushrooms, olives, bananas, butter, hot dogs, mozzarella, and more!

Use your ice cube trays.

Freeze coffee, wine, broth, and even herb-infused olive oil to have on hand for recipes! Once the contents of the tray are frozen, pop out the cubes into freezer bags for easy storage so you can grab what you need when you’re ready.

Wooden spoon to prevent spills.

When you’re boiling water, save yourself a mess of a boil-over by resting a wooden spoon on the top of the pot. The wood will prevent the water from boiling over the pot.

Use the blender to clean itself. Bake your bacon.

As delicious as smoothies are, the blender is a pain to clean. Add a drop or two of dishwashing soap to warm water, and start the blender. Let it run for about ten seconds, then rinse. Easy and you don’t have to worry about cutting yourself on the blade.

112 | ForsythWoman.com

If you like bacon, you more than likely love bacon. But all bacon lovers can agree that cooking it creates a mess. Instead, bake your bacon in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes. It may take a little longer than on the stovetop, but cooking it on aluminum foil will make clean up a breeze. Bonus tip – rinse each slice in cold water before laying it on the sheet. This keeps the bacon from shrinking during the cooking process.

A City’s Canvas: Beth Spieler

PROFILES OF ARTISTS OF DOWNTOWN WINSTON SALEM

BY DAVID WILLARD

draw. Whether outdoors or in, as long as I have a pencil and a piece of paper, there is always something to do. My mother treated the word ‘bored’ like a bad word. Her emphasis on always challenging my brain has paid off; I’m never bored. Thankfully, you can always create art,” she notes.

Albert Einstein once said, “Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science.” This realm of thought is one of deep contemplation and awareness. It is an existence that artists strive for, and it is a place that Beth Spieler knows all too well.

“My early childhood was spent in central Australia. This had a great impact on my experience, traveling across the globe, exploring the outdoors, cracking rocks open and digging in the dirt at such a young age.

My love for nature was established here, early on. We came back to the States when I was 8 and lived in Southern Pennsylvania, where the landscape was completely different but still fascinating,” says Spieler.

Spieler’s journey’s started as a child whose family was instrumental in her success. “I’ve been captivated by nature from the beginning. Nature and home have always been my favorite places. It is here where I began to create art. As a young girl, I would draw at home for hours on end. It is still one of my favorite past times, to

114 114 | | ForsythWoman.com ForsythWoman.com

“Because I spent so much time drawing as a young girl, art came naturally to me,” continues Spieler. “In 6th grade, I won a poster contest for the American Heart Association in York, Pennsylvania.

I remember being surprised that my design won. I suppose this is the first time I realized that other people liked my art, too. It was such a part of me, but I didn’t know I could create art my whole life and was focused on having another career goal. In college, studying music, I realized that my passion was in fact, studio art. I ended up majoring in studio art and loved every minute of it.”

Spieler hasn’t looked back since, and in fact, has explored her art form to find her current works. “In exploring other methods to create art, I’ve been commissioned to make several large pieces of art from torn paper. By creating my piece of art from other parts of imagery, I have found great satisfaction in this technique. I use the textures found in everyday magazine images to form the picture I’m making.

It sounds confusing, and can be. It’s like creating a puzzle, by finding the pieces in other printed material, tearing the sections out and gluing them into place to create the final image.

This has become one of my proudest methods of creating art. I am currently finishing my second piece like this. It is a blue heron in flight and is 98% complete. It is a time-consuming method, but very gratifying,” Spieler comments.

Spieler’s vision or hope for her work is to be something much more than a piece to admire. “To me, art is something that moves you. I want a piece of art to draw me in, for a closer look. This is a motivation behind much of my design work. It is important that my art captivates the viewer, if even for a minute. Whatever form art takes, whether music, dance, poetry, painting, drawing or a multitude of other creative methods, at the point when the observer is drawn in, art has made an impact. It is art,” she concludes.

Admired, felt, moved to emotion, and taken away. These are all ways that art can make the viewer feel.

Beth Spieler takes this knowledge and invites each person who takes the time, to not only see the work, but also see her journey to make it – how each piece is important to the next, and how intricate it all is. Much like our own journeys and experiences, and indeed, our lives, it is the small pieces or moments that truly define the whole. It is with that knowledge that Beth Spieler has joined the downtown patchwork, and the whole is better for it.

Anyone from Kentucky will tell you that the first Saturday in May is a special day. Why? It’s Derby Day. That’s all you need to say.

The spectacle is breathtaking – from the horses, the mint juleps, the crowd singing “My Old Kentucky Home,” and of course, the hats.

Why, you may ask, are hats such a big deal at a horse race?

It’s all about tradition and history. The first Kentucky Derby was run in 1875 with a field of fifteen 3-year old horses racing a mile and a quarter. Around 10,000 spectators attended the first race. Since that time, the Kentucky Derby has become the longest continuing sporting event in the United States.

By Vonda Henderson Whether you call it “The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports” or “The Run for the Roses,” it’s breathtaking. The founder of the Derby, Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. (grandson of the famous explorer), patterned his Derby vision on the European races he had attended. Remember the scenes from My Fair Lady at the racetrack – the elaborate outfits and especially the over-the-top hats? When you look at pictures from history and today, the hats at Ascot and the Derby are not all that much different from Eliza’s. Hats were a necessity of the day then to be dressed appropriately and for practical reasons to keep the sun out of one’s eyes. The practical reason remains valid, but the primary reason is Southern tradition and to see and be seen. Another reason that doesn’t get mentioned often is the thought that a wellchosen hat brings good luck to those gambling on their favorite to be the winner.

Traditionally, the hats worn in the seated area of Churchill Downs are defined as elegant and stylish. Most have big brims, although fascinators (headpieces that are usually made with feathers, flowers or beads that are worn instead of a hat) are becoming quite popular and are worn by around half the attendees. Some hats, designed especially for the Derby, may run up to and beyond $2,000 and may take weeks to create. Once the race began to be televised, the hats got bigger and even showier to be noticed on TV. The Derby guidelines for hats are that they be original and show the wearer’s personality, that the rest of the outfit be simple to allow the hat to have center-stage, that the use of hair pins is encouraged as it may be windy, and that the hat can withstand wind and rain, as the race runs rain or shine.

The infield hats are a different story – eccentric, flamboyant, and bizarre are good descriptors. While hats are traditional and expected to be worn in the seated area, they are not in the infield. Some infield attendees wear hats depicting the race with toy horses running around the brim, felt horse-head hats or hard hats adorned with horses, balloon hats, a horse hat with a red rose in its teeth, or for someone with incredibly strong neck muscles, a replica of Churchill Downs. Flamingo hats are also popular, although the reasoning escapes me. It’s a safe bet that most of the infield creations are homemade by folks with lively imaginations.

Whether you plan to attend the Derby in person, watch it at a party or in your home, wear your Derby hat with pride and confidence. And, if you’re Kentucky-born like me, you’ll probably tear up when the strains of My Old Kentucky Home are played. Yes, it’s a special day – that “Run for the Roses.”

WHAT HABITS COST YOU MONEY

BY DENISE HEIDEL

Budget Bzzzzz isn’t about complicated investments or extreme couponing. It’s about smart, simple, moneysaving solutions that won’t involve a total overhaul of your life!

Anyone who knows me knows I am a major coffee addict.

It began with elaborate (and expensive) frappuccinos that cost over $5 each. That was fine when I was only drinking them occasionally, but when the addiction became a part of my daily life – well, $5 a day adds up fast: I was easily spending $150 – 200 a month on fancy, designer coffee drinks that frankly, were more milk and sugar than anything else. It took some adjustment, but, I’m happy to report that I’m now perfectly happy with a plain ‘ole cup of black coffee. Usually, less than $2 if I order out, but even better, I prefer the coffee I make at home.

Our seemingly innocuous habits can cost us some big money. And I’m not talking about unhealthy habits such as smoking. Unless you’ve spent the last 50-some years living under a rock, you know that smoking is both unhealthy and expensive. So, if you’re a smoker, you don’t need me to tell you that quitting will save you money. You have already heard that a million times. Instead, let’s focus on some other costly habits:

Books

This pains me to write because I love books. I love the way the feel and, crazily, the way the smell. But if you’re a book addict, perhaps you should consider a library membership and save your book purchases for the titles you know you’re going to read again and again. Even if you’re only buying one or two books a month, you could save $20 – 40!

Cable TV

For some, the idea of living without 300 channels is appalling. But from what I can tell, nothing’s on TV anyway. Most everyone I know has a Netflix subscription, or if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, you have unlimited access to stream movies! Consider canceling or reducing your cable plan. You could save upwards of $80+ per month!

Drinks

with Dinner I know, I know… you want a glass of wine with dinner! But think about the cost of that single glass compared to the cost of a bottle. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t have a glass of wine or beer with your meal when you go out to eat, but make it a personal policy to limit it to one and enjoy your second glass at home. You and your significant other could easily shave up to $20 off your bill by limiting yourself to one adult beverage instead of two or three.

118 | ForsythWoman.com

Shopping

Your closet may be full to bursting, but you really love to shop. Perhaps you could curb your spending by making a commitment that for every new purchase you make, you must consign or donate an item to take its place.

Wasting

Produce & Other Perishable Groceries The diet started this week, and we are going to eat fresh smoothies, salads, and fruit all week! Wait! We’re not saying not to eat right, but be realistic. There’s only so much fresh produce we can eat at a time before it goes bad. Unless you’re a gourmet chef feeding a crowd, buy in smaller quantities, so there’s less waste. The savings will help boost your wallet while the healthy eating benefits your waistline.

Driving Too Fast

That lead-foot syndrome may not seem to mean much now that gas prices are dropping, but fast accelerations, hard braking, and aggressive driving can cost you a pretty penny. From not getting the best bang for your buck when it comes to your average miles per gallon, to tires wearing out faster than normal, to the speeding ticket, which leads to legal fees, court costs, and higher insurance premiums… is it worth it when you’ll only shave a few minutes off your travel time?

These are just a few costly habits that can add up to big savings! Take a look at your own habits. Are there some areas of your life you could modify and start saving big?

After you’ve lived in an area for a while, like me, you might think, “There’s nothing to do here!” Well, hold on to your nutcase helmets! If you want a fun and interesting adventure, Triad ECO Adventures offers Segway tours through downtown Winston-Salem which will quickly make you say, “I live in a fun city with lots to see and do!”

A NEW CAREER BORN FROM FUN!

In July 2013, Hal Boyle opened the doors to Triad ECO Adventures, an authorized Segway dealer, and tour operator in downtown Winston-Salem, NC. “Triad ECO Adventures began as a result of a lot of stars being randomly aligned, including failing miserably at retirement, caring for an ailing parent, family issues… basically, life happened. But essentially, my passion for creative entrepreneurship and healthy fun came together for this to happen,” recalled Hal. In the three years since they opened, Triad ECO Adventures has added Stand-Up Paddle boarding lessons (SUP) at three local lakes and will soon offer three different pedal-assist narrated eBike tours. But the Segway tours have really become a great way for locals to spend time seeing their town and for visitors to explore the rich history of downtown Winston-Salem.

“All of our tours are customer-driven, customer suggested, led by our guides, who are well versed in the history of Winston-Salem. The great thing about this area is the diversity of people and the diversity of ‘gems.’ Some like it downtown, some like it uptown. Some are art-crazy while others want to soak up the beautiful architecture. We have fun writing new narrated tours, mostly all suggested by our customers! Currently, we have six different Segway tours people can take focused on different areas to explore,” Hal said.

SEG ‘N’ CITY TOUR

This tour is a two-hour Segway experience described as a ‘love affair with downtown Winston-Salem.’ Your

guide will tell you about the city’s past and its emerging prominence in the areas of innovation, history, architecture, research, business and the arts. It’s a true backstage pass of info into where to go, what to do and what’s happening at local venues.

HISTORIC WASHINGTON PARK TOUR + UNCSA

“In this tour, we visit the rolling hills of downtown’s Washington Park Historic District with narration from your guide.

You’ll travel on your Segway by the city’s largest indoor pool, glide underneath Main Street, into Old Salem, by two exceptional wooden bridge on the Greenway, into Washington Park,” commented Hal. Tour concludes with unique photo ops at UNCSA.

TOTALLY SALEM TOUR

On your glide around town, you will experience the people and history of Old Salem, New Salem, Salem College and Academy and three cemeteries rich in Moravian history.

ART INSTALLATION(S) TOUR

“We are so fortunate to have the UNC School of the Arts in our city. This tour begins there and features a mixture of art-works and art-history,” Hal said.

MAYHEM & MYSTERY TOUR

All cities have unexplained stories that may scare, but Winston-Salem, NC has more than most. During this excursion, you’ll hear stories like The Missing Saddlebags, The ‘Little Red’ Shoeman, Arsenic Poisoning, The Burnt Piano Woman and The Sled Car Crash.

ARCHITECTURE HERITAGE

Those who appreciate the architectural history of downtown Winston-Salem will

love touring with a guide describing the structures along your two-hour route.

GLIDE & DINE

If you’d like to take your Segway to breakfast, lunch or dinner, then the Glide & Dine is for you. “By extending your two to three hours, we can add a stop at a restaurant of your choice, and we will narrate your trip to and from the restaurant. This tour has become popular with the great restaurants we have downtown like Jeffrey Adams, 6th & Vine, Hutch & Harris and Sweet Potatoes,” commented Hal. Even though there is some overlap, each tour is quite different. “We have fun writing new narrated tours, doing the research, creating the script and then charting the path. Typically, we pack three hours of written tour content into each script, and have different tour guides, so you can take the same tour and hear different info. What makes Triad ECO Adventures so unique is that everyone arrives from a different place… some wanting to check ‘riding a Segway’ off their bucket list, some enjoying an evening on the town and others coming to spend time with family and friends.

We just want everyone to be happy and enjoy themselves, so whatever tour that might float your boat definitely floats ours,” Hal said.

Recipes Chicken Casserole Any day of the week, this particular casserole takes very little time to make and defines “comfort food.” While a meal right out of the oven sounds warm and delicious, the taste improves on the second day if, of course, there are any leftovers. It is difficult to title a recipe that can be altered so simply. For instance, my finicky five-year-old daughter will devour her dinner when I replace the ingredients of noodles and potato chips with puff pastry; and, thankfully, she is indifferent to a casserole including either chicken or tuna. While the recipe calls for extra broad egg noodles, the texture of Kluski noodles has broadened our love of this meal.

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

1 cup sliced carrots

1. Boil noodles of your choice (egg or Kluski noodles) until tender.

1 cup of peas 6 to 10 ounces of chicken (canned or sliced from a rotisserie chicken) 1 can of cream of chicken soup 8 ounces of extra broad egg noodles 1 cup of milk 2 or 3 spoonfuls of butter Utz potato chips (for topping, if desired)

BY LISA DOSS

2. Microwave the peas and carrots per packaging instructions, usually five minutes. Allow noodles and vegetables to rest in a colander until needed (step four.)

3. In a large pot, begin with one can of cream of chicken soup. Use the can to fill with milk; then, pour into the pot. Add in two or three spoonfuls of butter. Stir.

4. Add in chicken. Stir occasionally on medium to low heat for five minutes. (If using canned meat, drain before adding.)

6. Then add the contents of your colander (vegetable and noodles). As you wait for an additional ten minutes, set the oven to 350 degrees and start preparing your casserole dish.

5. A 2 1/2 to 3-quart casserole dish will work well. Spray with Pam. Mix thoroughly before pouring the contents into the casserole dish.

6. To eliminate burning, sprinkle crushed potato chips evenly on top. No covering is necessary. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

ALTERNATIVE RECIPE:

124 | ForsythWoman.com

By using puff pastry, this meal suddenly becomes a chicken pot pie. (Begin with step two, and eliminate the sprinkling of potato chips.) While the recipe calls for eight ounces of chicken, I typically use 12 ounces with a half cup more milk. Allow the puff pastry to bake in the oven for at least 10 minutes before pouring the ingredients into the casserole dish. Similar to covering an apple pie, weave the strips of pastry vertically and horizontally.

Apply an egg wash to the dough, especially the folded crust. (Place a plan underneath the casserole dish to collect any spillage.)

God Bless the VA

BY LISA S.T. DOSS An opinion is quickly formed when the headline of the day combines bureaucratic red tape and our veterans. Half of the story is told for the simple reason that negativity in the news will always attract readers and listeners. Behind the scenes lies a greater story of inspiration, dedication, and well-needed aid. In an office not far from your house, a Veteran Affairs officer listens as our service members, veterans, dependents, or survivors seek either long-awaited medical help or guidance to apply for entitled benefits. The officer will feel humbled in hearing a voice say, “Thank you, sir” or “ma’am.” Receptionists and doctors know their patients have come to face their problems. As a result of “veteran-centered people,” countless service members and veterans will not suffer the effects of their disability. Perhaps these are not newsworthy stories. Beyond the headlines circulating, thousands are standing tall and feeling stronger due to the tremendous support, aid and care provided by Veteran Affairs offices and clinics.

Myth Verses Fact The VA Health Care Center offers a broad range of outpatient services to cover primary, mental health, and specialty care, in addition to audiology and optometry, imaging and laboratory services, pharmacy, compensation and pension exams. In fact, a new, expansive facility opened in Kernersville earlier this year with the intention of broadening its services.

Military personnel and veterans understand their benefits; however, the ability to obtain an appointment is both confusing and frustrating. Many believe the solution is to either sit in the Raleigh or Charlotte VA office and await acknowledgment or relinquish hope.

Advocates are available to provide direction and assistance. Two options are available: Contact a veterans service officer through your local VFW, or through a Veteran Affairs department located in Clemmons, Greensboro, or Danbury.

A Story My husband, a veteran of 26 years of service, had been living with tinnitus since 1989. Just imagine a high-frequency noise, continuously piercing your eardrum due to exposure to loud, sharp noises and test tones, generators and low flying aircraft. During moments of great stress, the frequency may increase in pitch and sound. As a Network Engineer professional through the military, and as a civilian, Kevin quickly discovered he could not easily navigate the VA’s website alone. After losing

126 | ForsythWoman.com

our son, Finn, in the spring of 2015, a nurse called to ask how she could assist our family. Two days later, I wrote down the name of an advocate with ties to the VA. Surprisingly, just miles from our home, Kevin attended an introductory meeting with a VA officer. Within two months, he met with several doctors and learned his hearing had drastically decreased over four years.

Provided with Siemens hearing aids with a tinnitus therapy feature, the difference in sound and hearing was immediate.

Sometimes, despite the news of the outside world, professional people are coming together to greatly improve the quality of life for our military men and women.

Helping Others How many family members, friends, colleagues, or associates do you know who seek the help of Veteran Affairs? Perhaps the need regards medical, compensation, death or burial, or other types of benefits. Thousands of men and women whose only experience with the VA is frustration or lost hope need to know advocates in the form of service officers are available. By spreading the news, anyone seeking assistance can receive the help that is long needed and deserved. By typing through a web browser “Find a VFW Service Officer in Your State,” men and women can directly contact a trained state expert and receive guidance, especially with the claims process. Also, Forsyth County residents can contact the Clemmons office by directly calling (336) 766-1496.

The Novelty of Random Kindness

BY DENISE HEIDEL

If your Facebook wall is anything like mine, in between all the political mudslinging and funny memes, you may see heartwarming stories of some random act of kindness or a stranger’s helping hand, or a selfless moment witnessed in a moment of tragedy. While it’s great to see these stories and feel that the faith in humanity can be restored, I have to wonder… has our society become so jaded that we can’t just expect people to BE decent, without resorting to viral pats on the back for doing something kind for a fellow human being?

Don’t get me wrong. I am all for pay-itforward and random acts of kindness.

But during a conversation with my best friend (with whom I can solve practically any world problem in less than 30 minutes), we had an “ah-ha!” moment.

Our society is so full of self-centeredness, the act of kindness truly has become a novelty.

Consider this: A recent story on Facebook told the tale of a man who was raised by a single mother, and when he realized his waitress was a single mom, this man left her a large tip. He took a picture of his receipt beside a $100 bill and posted the act of generosity on Facebook.

128 | ForsythWoman.com

Now, here’s where I may upset some people… Why couldn’t he just simply tell the story of his hard-working mother and encourage others to show kindness to other single parents who are working hard to provide for their children? Was his act an act of selfless kindness? Or was it a generous act seeking approval from the masses?

such young man. It was an Oscar-worthy, elaborate performance and the woman who recorded it received thousands of accolades from around the world for her empathetic nature. The tearful woman’s story was debunked as fiction and her earnest pleas to “be kind to others, because you don’t know what they are going through” fell flat amid her fraud.

Before I have an angry mob sending me emails, let me explain myself. I’m not saying for a moment that the gesture didn’t have merit. It certainly did, and I appreciate that the man could feel such tremendous empathy for a stranger.

But why not quietly leave $100 behind without telling the world about it?

The Bible speaks of the selfless acts we do in secret being seen by God as more important than the grand gestures done in public. Whether you’re religious or not, you have to agree that an act of anonymity has a truer and far more sincere ring to it than an act of kindness veiled in vanity for one’s own actions.

Switching to another story that went viral, around Christmas time, a woman tearfully recorded a video about a WalMart cashier who was being berated by a customer in front of her. When the young man began tearing up, she went to him, hugged him, and found out his mother had committed suicide that very morning but had to go to work anyway because he had bills to pay. The touching video went viral, with millions trying to find out who this young man was so they could offer some help. Wal-Mart got involved, too, and learned – there was no

Once again, I’m not opposed to random acts of kindness. I have simply become very aware that our society seems to need a pat on the head for every good deed. While I’m all for celebrating kindnesses and human decency, I’d much rather celebrate those quiet souls who do good for others, without seeking or expecting praise from others.

Hope du Jour Strengthening the Community…

One Meal at a Time

BY CAROLYN S. PETERSON According to the 2014 U.S. Census, 48.1 million Americans live in foodinsecure households, including 32.8 million adults and 15.3 million children. Locally, Crisis Control Ministry notes that 25 percent of the households in Forsyth County are food-insecure, meaning those residents aren’t eating three meals a day and are not getting nutritious food. Crisis Control Ministry’s Client Choice Food Pantries are an integral part of helping Forsyth County residents meet their food needs. Hunger is a problem in our community, yet many of us are at a loss to know what we can do. But on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016, you can do your part in feeding others by eating out and enjoying yourself for Hope du Jour!

CELEBRATING 26 YEARS OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE

In 1990, Hope du Jour was started

by Candid Jones, the WinstonSalem Journal’s restaurant reviewer, and Murphy Gregg, owner of Diamondback Grill, as a fundraiser to support Crisis Control Ministry’s food pantries. Twenty-six years later, Hope du Jour has become a much-anticipated community tradition. “In its earliest days, the event had participation from 50 restaurants – today that number has grown to over 135 restaurants

130 | ForsythWoman.com

annually. Each restaurant agrees to give 10% of their sales on the first Tuesday in May to support the mission of Crisis Control Ministry, which is to ‘assist people in crisis to meet essential life needs and to become self-sufficient,’” said Lucy Shaffer-Doherty, PR and Marketing Coordinator of Crisis Control Ministry.

The idea of eating out and helping others is simple and one that Hope du Jour co-founder Murphy Gregg knew there was a need for in the community. He is happy with the way the event has grown over the years.

EAT OUT…ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT!

“Hope du Jour is an all-day and evening opportunity to dine at our great supporting restaurants, knowing that 10% of the cost of your meal will go to help vulnerable families in our community. You can eat out for breakfast, coffee break, lunch, afternoon tea, after work wind down, dinner, dessert and anything in-between. Many people plan their meetings that day at a Hope du Jour restaurant. Friends and families also enjoy getting together on this special day. It’s truly a day of guilt-free eating!”

Lucy stated. Hope du Jour is a winwin for all involved and is successful for two main reasons.

“First, our generous partner restaurants who are willing to donate 10% of their proceeds on Hope du Jour; second, the generous individuals who intentionally choose to dine out at the partner restaurants to ultimately help people in need. Our goal has traditionally been $50,000 including restaurant donations and sponsorships, and when we surpass that, we are extremely grateful! Last year, in total, we raised nearly $53,000. Along with the donations from local partner restaurants, Crisis Control Ministry also accepts ‘second helpings’ on Hope du Jour, which are donations made directly to Crisis Control Ministry. Just mark your check as a ‘second helping’ and it will be counted in the day’s totals,” said Lucy.

This year there’s a little twist to Hope du Jour, too. “This year we hope to expand the reach of Hope du Jour to raise better awareness of hunger in our community and to increase the amounts of funds raised. We are offering people the opportunity to be Restaurant Party Host (RPH), which means they would choose one of the partnering restaurants for Hope du Jour and host a breakfast, lunch or dinner at the location. Invite your friends to join in on this great day at one of your favorite restaurants. We hope to have 15-20 restaurant parties this year. All the info needed to be an RPH can be found at our website, hopedujour. org,” Lucy commented.

Hope du Jour is a time to gather at local restaurants, have a good meal, a good time and help others not as fortunate as you are.

What could be better than that?

BY ROBIN WHITE ELLIS

There is a movement taking place, slowing creeping into popular culture, referred to as “living off the grid.” So what is the grid and why should we remove ourselves from it? “The grid” refers to the electrical grid, the network that provides power to residential neighborhoods as well as commercial properties. “Off the grid” must, therefore, mean to remove oneself from this electric delivery system, right?

Well, yes. However, being off the grid usually goes even further than that, by choosing to be self-reliant, not dependent upon electricity, natural gas, water, and sewer utility services. The term even goes so far as to rebel against mass consumerism by reusing materials, growing one’s own food, and sharing our individual skills with our community.

There are many people making this choice of lifestyle, to one extent or another. Some are living as pioneers of a sort while others, on the other end of the spectrum, may use solar power and grow a garden, yet remain part of the societal “norm” in regards to the rest of daily life. You may wonder why, with so many easy options available to us, that someone would make the conscious choice to live off the grid. Perhaps it is only for the Doomsdayers among us, preparing for the zombie apocalypse? Or maybe these are people left over from the Y2K bug scare, still waiting for technology to shut down?

Not so! There are vast numbers of realistic, sensible reasons for someone to make this change.

Our current way of life is based upon a dependent system.

Each part - or grid - of the city depends on the next for support.

Living off the grid is quite independent and self-sufficient.

Those who do so can support their families in their own home, on their own land. Yes, being prepared for a disaster is also part of it, but living in this manner removes many burdens. There are no mortgages or utility bills, and the grocery bill drops significantly! There is less of the constant push for bigger and more, which makes people work sixty hours a week. There is more time for the family unit.

132 | ForsythWoman.com

Hands down, we live in a consumerist society, from which these “off the grid-ers” have distanced themselves. They can produce their own food and energy. While that may sound like a daunting task, it only appears so because we have all been spoiled by the one-stop shop stores that provide everything from food to clothes to vehicle tires! Yes, this simplifies our tasks greatly, yet the cost is our consumer-rich “bigger is better” lifestyle. Do we really need huge SUVs and five bedroom homes? Of course not.

The working hours needed to afford these items equals more time away from our loved ones, lost moments that we cannot get back.

Entire communities of small homed, off grid believers have popped up recently, with the inhabitants sharing their skills and resources. They make valuable contributions to society while living a “green,” clean lifestyle. Economically, they are likely doing far better than the rest of us, with their expenses vastly reduced! Their choice of renewable energy is sustainable long-term. Working in their gardens keeps them much more active than sitting in a cubicle. This healthy way of living includes knowing where their food comes from and that it is free of chemicals and pesticides. They create more resources than they use, which benefits the community and avoids wastefulness. They are free to build and create their own homes, neighborhoods, and way of life.

This is something that my family has been interested in, and we are making small choices that lead toward a more independent life for ourselves. This is a valuable opportunity to lower the stress that comes with the silly need to keep up with the Joneses. We can get back to our roots while also enjoying this progressive age that provides the technology to harness our own power. I have fanciful images in my head of experiencing nature and enjoying the things that we never had time for before. Whether you choose to make minuscule changes or large scale variations, it is a good idea for all of us to learn more about being self-sufficient in a dependent world.

The Susan G. Komen Northwest NC Race for the Cure

BY KENDYL TREVENA Magic. Hope. Strength. Life. The Susan G. Komen Northwest NC Race for the Cure® is a celebration of life, a chance to remember those who have lost their battles with this horrible disease and, as our annual signature fundraising event, funds the impact we make locally and makes progress towards finding the cures for breast cancer.

Race for the Cure is a “magical” celebration in which survivors, co-survivors, pre-vivors, supporters and the community can come together to support one collective goal: a world without breast cancer. At Komen Northwest NC, we have several survivors who participate in the Race, and in our events throughout the year. Each one is amazing and unique, and each has a reason for participating in the Race.

Roxie Loudenslager, a three-year survivor, races because both she and her sister had breast cancer.

“My sister’s breast cancer was diagnosed as triple negative from a lump she could feel; mine was invisible and was found on a routine mammogram screening. I have seen and heard the stories about how our Race fundraising helps locally. The Race gives me purpose - it is a personal way I can raise funds through friends, events (like our yard sale, corn hole tournament, and pig races) and local businesses. I know I make a difference. The bonus is how much fun the Race actually is!”

This year, the Race is going to be even more fun! It is being held AT NIGHT! Unlike the typical neon 5K, ours will be whimsical, almost like a fairytale setting. It’s not just a 5K – it is so much more! Luminaries will line the course, t-shirts will glow in the dark, and we will come together for one collective goal: save local lives. You can walk, run or just come out to support – no matter how you participate, when you’re involved in the Race, you’re saving lives, locally, right here in Northwest NC. Join us at the Race on Saturday, May 7, 2016 – activities begin at 6 pm 5K starts at 8 pm.

Our vision at Komen Northwest NC is to eradicate breast cancer. Our impact is LOCAL, across our twenty-two county service area. Until the cures are found, we empower individuals through breast health education, ensure quality of care for all and energize science to find the cures. Seventyfive percent of monies raised stay here and fund educational initiatives, because early detection is a key step in the path to survival. Monies also fund grants to local healthcare organizations to provide free mammograms to underserved and underinsured women and men. The other twenty-five percent goes to national research to find the cures.

Life Hacks Tips & Tricks for Making Life Easier

BY LINDSAY CRAVEN

There are countless problems you encounter on a daily basis that can put a little speed bump in your day. Life hacks are those “aha!” moments where you find the simplest solution to your daily problems, often using items immediately at your disposal. Each month this column will take you through some creative hacks to use in all different areas of your life to make your day to day as simple as possible. This month we’ll show you some tricks to easily and inexpensively update your home.

If you’re an avid book collector, record collector, educator or anyone who has a large collection, you’ll need shelves and wall shelves are a great way to reserve floor space while still storing neatly. You can also turn your wall shelving into a work of art. You can combine different size square shelves into a mandala design or anything your imagination can come up with. Keep in mind the capacity of your wall when installing the shelves and what you’ll be storing on them so you don’t put more weight on the wall than it can handle.

Trying to mount items with hanging mechanisms on the back can be a nightmare, especially on your own.

Instead of going for it and hoping you get it right, try using painter’s tape. Measure your tape to the edge of each hanger and tear. Then use the measured tape where you want to hang. Insert your nails or screws at each end of the tape and hang your piece without several practice holes in the wall.

Bathroom storage can get tight in a smaller bathroom. If you don’t have a linen closet or room for standing shelving, try using wine racks. There are lots of styles so you can go as simplistic or decorative as you want. The biggest hassle may be learning to roll your towels instead of folding. These racks can even hang just outside the bathroom in that small wall space near doorways.

Ceiling light fixtures can be pretty hideous, especially in older homes. If you want a quick and inexpensive upgrade, try installing a drum shade over the exposed light fixture. You can buy a drum shade from your local superstore or home improvement store, or you can also look up some fairly easy tutorials on making your own shade to save even more money. Depending on your lighting needs and aesthetic preference, you may want to add fabric to the bottom of the shade to cover up the view of the light fixture from below.

An easy way to change up a room is a simple reorganization of furniture.

However, if you have carpeted floors, you will be leaving behind the indentions of your previous furniture layout for at least a week or two. To speed up the process, try laying down ice cubes along the indentions. Once the ice melts the indention should be gone but if it’s a stubborn indention, try using an old toothbrush to fluff the carpet fibers.

If you need a change to your kitchen without a major financial commitment try a new backsplash. If you’re not ready to commit to a permanent look, or if you rent and can’t make permanent changes, you can use place mats as a backsplash.

Attach using command strips that won’t damage the wall. You can also play with covering the whole area between the counter and shelving or you can do a small strip for a more subtle change.

TUESDAY IS LADIES’ DAY! GET $5 OFF & A ROSE. May 2016 | 137

BY BROOKE EAGLE “What’s it like working with your mom every day?” “I could NEVER do that!” “You are so lucky!” These are a few of the frequent initial comments I get when I tell people that my mother is also my boss. If you didn’t know, Keela Johnson, the publisher of Forsyth Woman, is also my mother. Since we don’t have the same last name (anymore), and we look nothing alike, most people don’t realize we are mother-daughter until we tell them. And while we may not look similar, we have a LOT in common. We both have a tendency to get really excited about our ideas. I mean…REALLY excited. It’s all we can think about until we get that ‘idea’ accomplished. We don’t waste any time, have no problem making decisions at the drop of the hat, and are both (unfortunately) extremely forgetful. We would be lost without the ‘reminder’ app on our iPhones. All of these things must be genetic traits because my Mamaw (my mom’s mother) is the same way.

We both took the DiSC profile assessment through the Professional Women of Winston-Salem a couple of weeks ago, and we are both “D’s” (for Dominant). We jokingly remarked that she was a capital “D,” and I was a lowercase “d.” The “D” section of her assessment was off-the-charts while mine was more in the normal range. Our team appreciates her “dominant” personality… she is a fantastic leader. I have big shoes to fill!

To be quite honest, “the bad and the ugly,” are a rarity.

Truly, 95% of the time we get along remarkably well. While we do have things in common as I mentioned, we also are quite different. I affectionately refer to my mother as severely ADHD. If you’ve ever met her, you would agree with me! She is also the most selfless person that I know.

I’ve never seen anyone more willing to give to others than this woman (well, other than my Mamaw… they are tied!).

Both our differences and our similarities are what make us work so well together. We both love what we do and getting to do a job that we love together… well, that is the biggest blessing of all. Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom, boss, and friend. I love you!

BY KEELA JOHNSON When people hear that I work with my daughter, a common question is, “Does that affect your relationship?” I would have to say that it’s actually made it stronger. I am the luckiest mom in the world to work with my daughter! She keeps me grounded and helps me stay focused. When she decided to join the team full time after college, I was elated, and her presence has exceeded all of my expectations.

Even more amazing than our positive work experience, we actually choose to spend time together after work! Brooke and her husband often accompany us for dinner or join us at the lake (and no, we don’t talk about work the whole time!).

Brooke is bright, beautiful, funny, organized, and much to my heart’s delight – has a true passion for the magazines. Since she will inherit my business one day when I retire (no time soon!), I am so pleased to see now that what I’ve worked so hard for will be in capable hands that will mirror the effort I’ve put into making these magazines a success.

138 | ForsythWoman.com

I am so proud of Brooke! Working with my daughter is a privilege, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity!

BY VONDA HENDERSON • Make the entrance inviting. Add twinkle lights or solar lights to the front. Build a front porch or pergola. Add some hanging baskets or lanterns.

Check the Internet for suggestions on different styles of She Sheds. Some of the most often mentioned are:

We’ve all heard plenty about man caves – their space, their retreat, and their getaway. Well, now it’s the ladies’ turn– welcome to She Sheds!

Yes, we can have our special getaway, sanctuary, a place to call our own! She Sheds are small cottages located somewhere in a backyard that are designed as an escape to whatever helps to relieve stress and a place to find some self-care time. We hear from all sorts of media how bad we, as women, are at taking care of ourselves – now we have a place to do just that.

There are so many ways that a She Shed can be designed. The most important thing is that it reflects your personality. Some other tips to consider when planning and creating your special place include: • To keep costs down, clean up an existing backyard shed, invest in a do-it-yourself kit from your local hardware store, or simple buy a pre-built storage shed. Costs will vary depending upon the degree of completion, size and amenities you want in your shed.

• Define its purpose. What are going to use your shed for? Is it going to be your Zen place, your art studio, craft retreat, yoga studio, or library? This will help you decide how to design the interior, what kind of lighting you might need, and how you’ll furnish it.

• Paint your shed any color you want. You don’t have to please a spouse, partner or the kids in the family. This is yours, so go wild with color. Paint it polka-dotted if that’s your thing.

• Accessorizing need not be expensive. Shop at antique stores, flea markets, re-stores, consignment shops, etc. Get creative on using common round-the-house items. Research Pinterest. com for ideas and inspiration.

• Incorporate nature. Add some window boxes, plant flowers around to give a meadow-like feel, or create a natural area.

140 | ForsythWoman.com

A Victorian Oasis – make your She Shed as girly as you want. Fill it with lace, flowery patterns, and ruffled pillows in soft pastels with comfortable lounging chairs. Cover the walls with vintage flowered wallpaper and have crystal vases filled with fresh flowers.

If you love gardening and all that goes with it, create your garden room with tools, work bench, places for pots, soil – basically your own greenhouse.

If creativity is what relaxes you, design your dream craft room with storage space, work table, looms, spinning wheels, sewing machines, paints, etc.

Maybe a personal library is more your speed. Include good reading light and a comfy chaise lounge chair (you might as well read in style). Fill your She Shed with bookshelves and take yourself away into a book world.

Do you have a favorite time period you’d like to recreate?

Nothing screams the ‘50s like old 45s and vinyl seats.

Create a Zen retreat for exercise or meditation. Cover the floors with soft cushions, the walls with soothing colors and maybe have a waterfall garden.

We all need a place to call our private space to unwind, relax, or get lost in hobbies that speak to us. It’s good for us and, face it, we could all use some alone time. Let the men have their caves; we’ll have our She Sheds!

Benefits of Ground

BY VONDA HENDERSON Cumin is an ancient spice; it has been around for centuries. It is mentioned in the Bible as an ingredient for preparing bread and soups. It was also used as a payment of tithes to priests.

The Egyptians used cumin in their mummification process. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a substitute for black pepper, which at that time was very expensive. Cumin is now used as a spice to enhance foods in Indian, Asian, African and Latin American cuisine.

Cumin is rich in iron and has a high level of vitamin C. Iron helps the immune system reduce the risk of infections.

One tablespoon of cumin equates to 20 percent of the daily iron needs of an adult. Iron is important in carrying oxygen to the body’s cells.

Cumin also contains essential mineral magnesium. Our bodies do not produce magnesium, and we must get it via our diets. One tablespoon of cumin has six percent of the recommended daily amount for adults. Magnesium helps promote heart health, aids in controlling blood pressure, and helps in absorbing calcium.

Cumin is a low-sodium spice.

One tablespoon only has ten milligrams of sodium or less than one percent of the maximum recommended daily amount. Using low-sodium herbs and spice helps the diet while still adding enticing flavor to foods.

Cumin provides other benefits besides enhancing foods. In that regard, it may be somewhat under used, considering the beneficial side effects.

142 | ForsythWoman.com

Cumin benefits the digestive process.

Even the smell of cumin activates the saliva glands. It can be prepared as a tea to help alleviate stomachaches. Mix two tablespoons of cumin seeds into four and one-half cups of water and boil for five minutes. Let the water cool, strain the water and drink. If used on a daily basis, this may help decrease indigestion and heartburn.

Cumin is being studied as a possible way to reduce chances of hypoglycemia.

Findings are indicating it may help reduce diabetics.

Cumin has respiratory benefits. It acts as an expectorant in loosening phlegm and mucus in the respiratory tract.

How can we incorporate this beneficial spice into our food preparation? Cumin can be used to complement the taste of lentils, beans, rice dishes, meats (sausage, pork, lamb, chicken, beef), potatoes and much more.

Add cumin to sautéed vegetables,

roasted chickpeas or carrots. Add it to chili; it’s likely already in chili powder.

Prepare roasted cauliflower with cumin and paprika. Enhance the flavor of soups and dips.

If you’ve never cooked with cumin, chances are you’ve had it in restaurant meals, especially if you’re fond of ethnic foods. Try using cumin in your home meal preparations to get the benefits into your daily diet. Experiment with what you and your family like and open the door to the nutritional benefits of cumin and other good-for-you foods. Trying new recipes is a great way to get everyone involved in meal preparation and to spark a willingness to try new dishes.

BY VONDA HENDERSON

According to the NC Historic Bridge Inventory project, conducted in conjunction with the NC Historic Preservation Office, there are approximately 200,000 historic bridges in our state. The inventory project researched bridges built between the 1890s and 1961 and constructed with a variety of methods (from wooden truss, timber stringer, metal truss, and concrete arch, to name a few). These bridges are a part of our transportation history and were built based on demands and travel patterns of their day. North Carolina is 13th in the nation for the highest number of state-maintained bridges.

Covered bridges seem to fascinate many of us (think Bridges of Madison County, which brought star-crossed lovers together). We are fortunate to have two covered bridges still standing in North Carolina. The Bunker Hill Covered Bridge, located near Claremont, North Carolina, was built in 1895. Privately owned until 1985, the bridge was donated to the Catawba County Historic Association and restored in 1994. The other covered bridge, Pisgah Covered Bridge, is a local and federal landmark. The bridge (one lane and 54 feet long) was built in 1911 at a cost of $40 (really, that’s not a typo). It is located in Randolph County and is part of the Uwharrie National Forest. In 2003, it was washed away in a flood and rebuilt in 2004 by a team of volunteers using many original materials.

The Mile High Swinging Bridge on Grandfather Mountain is not for the faint of heart to walk across. This 228-foot suspension bridge spans an 80-foot chasm. Charles J. Parker, the NC Tourism Director, named the bridge at the 1952 dedication ceremony. Charles Hartman, Jr. of Greensboro, NC, designed the bridge. It was fabricated in Greensboro and reassembled on the mountaintop in three weeks at a cost of $15,000.

144 | ForsythWoman.com

In 1999, it was rebuilt with galvanized steel, eliminating the need for painting (imagine hanging over a gorge to paint a bridge!).

The cost of rebuilding the bridge was $300,000.

The Linn Cove Viaduct was completed in 1987 and was the last section of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be finished. The viaduct goes around the slope of Grandfather Mountain and was built to avoid damaging the mountain.

The longest bridge in the state is the Virginia Dare Memorial Bridge. At a length of almost five miles, it connects Roanoke Island to the NC mainland.

Built in 2002, it is not considered part of the historic inventory but does have a connection, via its name, to the history of our settlers.

The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge crosses the Cape Fear River between Brunswick County and New Hanover County. It is the highest bridge in the state with a lift span of 135 feet.

Old Salem Heritage Bridge in Winston-Salem was built in 1999. The bridge is similar to 19thcentury bridges. It allows visitors to step back in time from the Visitor Center into the historic district of Old Salem.

The Cheoah River Footbridge is located in Graham County in the Cherokee National Forest. This wire suspension bridge crosses over the Cheoah River and according to the posted sign, only four people are permitted to walk it at a time.

Traveling North Carolina is a beautiful experience, whether it’s in the mountains or on the coast. Next time you cross a bridge, take a few minutes to appreciate its craftsmanship and history.

This month, my health tip is about something that everyone enjoys…sleep.

Every one is different in how much sleep they need, but everyone is the same in that bad things happen when one is sleep deprived. These “bad things” range from being in a terrible mood (raising my hand here… I am super grumpy when I don’t get enough sleep) to having extra cravings for unhealthy food.

BY BROOKE EAGLE

SLEEP

I personally need a minimum of 8 hours of sleep a night—preferably closer to 9 hours.

I am not embarrassed to say that most nights I’m in bed and asleep by 9:30pm. My body has gotten used to my sleep pattern of going to bed around 9:30pm and waking up at 5:30am. On the weekends, I often stay up a little later and sleep in a little extra, but I still get my 8-9 hours.

Waking up and going to sleep at the same time every day is ideal for your body… but obviously, you’ll have some exceptions here and there. My challenge for you this month is to first figure out how much sleep your body needs (you may already know this). You can gauge this by how you are feeling throughout the day. If you stay tired for hours throughout the day, you are either getting too little or too much sleep.

Once you figure out the ideal number of hours you need, do your best to go to bed around the same time each night and set an alarm for the same time each morning. If it takes you a long time to fall asleep, you’ll need to adjust the time you go to bed, but I would recommend drinking sleepy time tea and/or reading to get your body ready to go to sleep.

One thing I would NOT recommend is mixing technology with your bedtime routine. Do you find yourself in the habit of watching TV or checking your phone, laptop or iPad right before going to sleep?

This habit is not beneficial for helping you fall asleep—in fact, it does just the opposite; it keeps you awake! Try to set your “technology bedtime” for an hour or so before your actual bedtime. This is something I am guilty of myself… it’s hard to resist checking my email or scrolling through instagram one last time before I go to sleep. Try moving your phone to the living room to charge at night or at least move it across the room if you must keep it in the bedroom. If you have a TV in your bedroom, consider moving it out of the bedroom. You may find that you don’t even miss it!

As always, try it out for a month and see how you feel!

BY MADISON FREDERICK

I’m sure that this is not a title one would expect from a mildmannered youngish senior citizen…but it is a phenomenon that I have stumbled upon while purchasing liquor at our small town ABC store. Apparently I am a genuine rebel, breaking all the rules when it comes to purchasing alcohol.

Watch the body language of those entering the store. Often their head is tucked down, eyes averted, and their steps are quite purposeful. They walk straight to the libation of choice. Walk to the counter. Pay the clerk and do not stop to “visit” with anyone.

Being somewhat of a novice at buying liquor, having only recently begun to enjoy a cocktail upon occasion, I was completely unaware of the unwritten rules of how to purchase liquor correctly. Yes, there is a definite way to do it correctly. And after all, didn’t Emily Post tell us that the reason for good manners was to make everyone feel comfortable?

Apparently, I did all the wrong things and made others feel quite uncomfortable.

First off, when I came in the door, I looked around to see who was there. Much to my surprise, I saw several people I knew. So as I would ordinarily do at any other venue, I walked over to speak to them. First incorrect behavior. A person buying liquor does not want to chat. He or she does not want to be acknowledged in any way. I found that out the hard way when my feelings were “almost hurt” with the abruptness of the response and the quick getaway that our school board member executed.

Next, it isn’t appropriate to ask any questions or to ask for any advice from the clerks. It is not like in a dress shop.

You are expected to know exactly what you want and how much you need. You are not to bother the clerks. They feel much more comfortable staying behind their counter.

Again, I committed a faux pas. I cheerily asked the clerk for advice on brand and amount. I even asked for something he didn’t have which I had heard of in a recent conversation.

148 | ForsythWoman.com

He seemed genuinely embarrassed and obviously ill at ease. When he was forced to come into the aisle with me to answer my questions, his eyes kept darting around, looking for a holdup guy, maybe? He was not with me but a minute before he quickly scooted back behind his protective counter.

But apparently the worst of my boo-boos was when I ran into a Book Club girlfriend of mine, and we did strike up a conversation about the best kind of Irish Crème. Then we proceeded to discuss the new minister at the Baptist Church and how much she liked him. You could have heard a pin drop in the entire store. Well, it was true. She does think he is doing a good job. And it is about time that we got a good man in that pulpit.

And lastly, I parked in the wrong place. I parked in the first parking space, right out in front of the store. I was thrilled to be so lucky that day. Then I realized as I was leaving that the correct etiquette is to park in the rear of the store. I guess that really showed my naivete.

So to review, my friends, do not expect any warmth, advice, or gossip at the ABC store. It is a “no-friend” zone. You may merely nod if your eyes accidentally make contact with an acquaintance. Be purposeful, not indecisive. Do NOT talk about how much you like a certain brand or type. Stay reserved and brutally business-like. Whether you see the chairman of the Town Council, the School Superintendent, or the landscaper, you are NOT expected to speak. And above all, do NOT mention anything even close to a religious topic.

Well, I guess these are the main components of Liquor Store Etiquette. I hope my personal sharing will help any of you who are novice buyers as well. As far as I can tell, this etiquette is in pretty wide-spread use.

Until next time,

BY ROBIN WHITE ELLIS I wonder who the first person to fix their gaze on the stars and wonder if we have neighbors was. Are we alone? If not, are we more advanced than our space brethren, or do they look upon us with pity at how primitive we are in comparison to their fabulous intelligentsia? Shortly after these questions comes the concern regarding their intentions. If they exist, are they peaceful? Frankly, I do not relish the idea of experiencing the events of Independence Day in real life. “Doctor Who,” yes. “X-Files,” no.

Reports of alien encounters are many and varied. Even Russian politician, Kirsan Llyumzhinov, claims to have been abducted in the 1990s by creatures in yellow spacesuits riding around in a long, transparent spaceship. He claimed to be unable to understand their speech but could exchange thoughts and ideas with them telepathically. Even our government has taken notice. Project Blue Book was the third study of UFOs done by the United States Air Force. Many reports of aliens and UFOs have been debunked as outlandish cons or weather balloons gone awry.

When I was a child, we visited my grandparents on the weekends. At least a dozen times, I saw a strange object in the sky with red and green flashing lights. My little girl heart was quite crushed to discover that there was an airport nearby. My imagination had gone straight from catching fireflies to having a close encounter of the third kind. Despite my disappointment and the many false reports through the years, a large number of people believe in life on other planets. The following are some examples that have never been fully explained: • On August 20, 1976, four men were enjoying a fishing trip.

While sitting around the campsite, they noticed bright lights over the water. In a macho act of supreme male bonding, they decided to investigate. Apparently, they hadn’t viewed many horror movies that would have shown them that this idea was a big no-no. They used flashlights to send beams back to the illumination above the lake...because what could go wrong with bringing attention to themselves? All four men blacked out and woke up, several hours later, at their campsite. They each reported nightmares involving creatures with long heads, necks and insect-like fingers that took skin and fluid samples from them. All four of them passed lie-detector tests and psychological examinations.

• A Cessna 182, piloted by Frederick Valentich, reported seeing a large aircraft with four bright lights on October 21, 1978. Radio transmissions report this craft going incredibly fast at times, getting too close and stopping in midair. The last transmission received said, “It’s got a green light and sort of metallic like... it’s all shiny on the outside...it just vanished.” A few minutes later, Valentich said, “That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again...it is hovering, and it’s not an aircraft…” Seventeen seconds of a metallic scraping sound was transmitted, and then nothing. The airplane disappeared from radar, and both the pilot and craft were never recovered.

• In the early hours of July 24, 1948, World War II veterans turned commercial airline pilots, Clarence Chiles and Charles Whitted, had to evade a craft flying beside them. They described it as conical shaped with two decks revealed by windows and bright lights. They radioed to ask if experimental aircraft was in the area and were told “no.” The Air Force investigated this and found a witness on the ground that reported seeing the craft an hour before the pilots. Oddly enough, one month prior, a report was placed in the Netherlands of the same craft, down to the details. The United States Air Force concluded that it was an alien spacecraft. However, when they turned in this report, their superiors said, “Um...no.” It is now marked as unsolved.

These are merely a few examples of the myriad and varied sightings through the years. Those who have been able to take photographs sadly seem only to purchase cheap, grainy cameras. Now that everyone carries a camera on their phone, there has been a significant drop in UFO reports. Is this due to everything being a farce, or perhaps the aliens have developed recent cloaking technology? It all depends on whom you ask.
