NEXT ISSUE — SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER

Know your gourds • The other potato. Sweet, that is. • Having babies after age 35•

Editor’s note I’ve heard of wine tasting. But garlic tasting? Gregg and Kimberly Smith of Penn Township recommended buying garlic at Hacienda Shiloh in Gettysburg, so I called the store to check it out. Shop owner Marda Mattox explained that she grows 25 different varieties of garlic, and this year’s crop will be ready around the Fourth of July. The winter determines the flavor, she said. Because it was so cold, the garlic is going to be really spicy. Who knew? Mattox said she encourages customers to taste her garlic before buying it, sort of like tasting wine. She can accommodate groups, but she asks that you call ahead at 642-9161. Check out how the Smiths use Mattox’s garlic in their recipe for grilled Asian ribs on pages 10 and 11. Blueberries are also among sum-mer’s treats, and you can feel good about indulging in a handful because they’re filled with disease-fighting antioxidants. Find out what you need to know about picking and freezing them on pages 22 and 23. You could put some blueberries on top of the patriotic cake featured on page 23. You could plop some in your cereal or try Rick Miller’s recipe for blueberry buckle on page 22. But summer isn’t just about eating

(although it would be great if it were, right?). It’s also a good time to tend to the exterior of your home. Power wash the patio and sidewalks, wash the windows and clean out the gutters, if you didn’t get to them in the spring. Find tips from local experts on pages 8 and 9. If you’re headed to the beach or the lake, check out Book Smarts on pages 32 and 33 before you pack your bag. And if you’re a mom, like me, try to schedule some time for yourself this sum-mer. I learned some tricks from the moth-ers on pages 20 and 21. Maybe I’ll make a day trip to Gettysburg with my girlfriends to do some garlic tasting. And I’ll be sure to have some breath mints with me, just in case.

Go garlic tasting There’s more to Gettysburg than Civil War monuments and re-enactments. Hacienda Shiloh, 327 Knox Road in Gettysburg, is an herb farm and gift shop that specializes in garlic. Owner Marda Mattox grows 25 varieties, which will be ripe just in time for the Fourth of July. She predicts the garlic will be spicy this year because of the cold winter. She holds tastings to let people try out the different flavors. Call 642-9161 for details. Turn to page 11 for a barbecue recipe that incorporates garlic.

Dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing the toilet are regular chores that you probably do to keep your house clean. But what about the exterior of your home — when was the last time you cleaned that? Would you even know how to start? Different surfaces on your home’s exterior should be cleaned at regular intervals to eliminate grime and dirt. To clean the outside of your home, you’ll need a pressure washer, gar-den hose, large bucket, extendable, soft-bristled brush and cleaning chemicals or soap, according to Steve Konarzewski,

owner of Squeegee Klean in York. First, apply the chemical wash or soap to the particular surface (brick, siding, stucco); spray the power washer from bottom to top to avoid streaking. Let the cleaning agent soak on the surface for up to five minutes. You should be able to see the dirt and grime dissolving. “Make sure you’re close enough, around 8 to 12 inches away for siding and around 6 to 8 inches for stucco and brick,” said Jason Anthony of Advantage Power Washing in Dover. Standing several feet away won’t

provide enough pressure. When spraying off the soap, spray from top to bottom and stay away from spraying underneath the siding. If your home is made of aluminum siding, avoid power washing because it has the potential to ruin the painted finish. “You can also power wash patios and sidewalks,” Anthony said. He uses general soap and a degreaser, which really makes a difference. Following these steps, you can have your home in pristine shape year-round.

HOME

Curbappeal

Kimber Sutton, 42, of York Township makes washing windows look easy. If you have lots of windows to clean at your home, buy a squeegee and use warm water, a little ammonia and some dish soap to get glass squeaky clean.

Make your home shine

Windows Steve Konarzewski, 27, recommends cleaning windows on the outside a couple of times a year. The best tools are a squeegee, a bucket of warm water, a little ammonia and some dish soap, said Konarzewski. Scrub the window with a cloth or sponge to get all of the dirt and stains out, and then scrape the squeegee in a straight line horizontally across the window. Wipe and scrape again, until the window is clear and clean. If using windex instead of soap and water, use a dry micro-fiber towel to make the window shine. If there are smears or streaks, turn the micro-fiber over and buff the window.

Gutters Gutters should be cleaned out at least once a year, according to Rob Camarro of Mr. Green Gutter Cleaning in Hellam Township. He recom-mends cleaning them twice, once in the spring after the buds and pollen have settled and to get any winter twigs out, and again in the fall to remove leaves and gunk. The main tool needed is a ladder. Always make sure the ladder is placed on a solid surface, and never put it on top of another object. For every 4 feet the ladder is reaching up to, place it 1 foot away from the vertical surface (i.e., a 12-foot roof would need the bottom of the lad-der to be 3 feet away from the side of the house). And always have the ladder stretch 3 feet higher than the surface you might need to climb onto. “I always use gloves; I like latex to keep my hands dry,” Camarro said. A good pair of gloves and a scoop found at your local hardware store are useful. When you’re finished, make sure you can run water through the gutters, seeing it come out the other end.

Awnings Joe Musti of York Tent and Awning Company recommends hosing the fabric off each month with clear water to keep dirt from embedding within the fabric. A thorough cleaning will be needed every two to three years. This entails brushing off loose dirt, hosing it down, and using a cleaning mixture of natural soap mixed with water and a soft-bristle brush to scrub, letting the soap soak in. After rinsing thoroughly, let it air dry. If there are stains that won’t budge, mix 4 ounces of chlorine bleach, 2 ounces of natural soap and 1 gallon of water. Soak the stain for up to 20 minutes before rinsing. washing machines can be used if the awning will fit and only natural soaps are used.

Meet Penn Township’s King of the Grill. By day, Gregg Smith is a welding engineer at Harley-Davidson. By night, he’s a grilling machine. His wife, Kimberly, said her husband’s love of grilling began about seven years ago with the purchase of a mini Weber kettle grill. Today, he has four grills, one that’s called the “Big Green Egg.” Gregg grills at home and on vacation. He “can and will grill, smoke, sear or bake anything and everything on one of his four grills,” Kimberly said. But Kimberly’s not jealous of her husband’s passion for flames and food. She enjoys the masterpieces he creates. “His coffee brisket is to die for, and his Asian ribs are my favorite,” she said. And meat isn’t the only item on the menu. Gregg grills fruit, pizza, tofu and veggies for his oldest daughter, Kaleigh, who is a vegetarian.

Grill with care Sure, grilling is fun, but it can also be dangerous. From 2003 to 2006, fire departments across the nation responded to an average of 7,900 home fires involving grills, hibachis or barbecues each year, the National Fire Protection Association reported. Those fires average 10 deaths annually. Grill fires often happen when homeowners use grills too close to their homes or leave them unattended, said Victoria Connor, director of public support for the York County Chapter of the American Red Cross. “Never leave your cooking unattended,” Connor said. “You run the risk of not only having a fire, but also putting children that could be around in danger.”The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shares these tips:

For gas grills...Before use, check your grill’s tubes, hoses •

and connectors for blockages, leaks or other problems.

Never use a grill indoors, in a garage, • breezeway, carport or porch.

when in doubt, refer to the • manufacturer’s instructions when you encounter problems.

Do not store a spare gas container under • or near the grill.

For charcoal grills...Do not burn charcoal inside vehicles, •

tents or campers, even if the area is ventilated.

Store a grill with freshly used coals out-• side; charcoal produces carbon monoxide fumes until it’s completely extinguished.

Heed the carbon-monoxide warnings on • charcoal packaging. The carbon monoxide gas released when charcoal is burned in a closed environment can be deadly.

Gregg’s Asian Ribs4 racks of baby back ribs (Gregg likes to buy his at Wayne Nell & Sons Meats.)3 tablespoons dried lemon grass4 cloves chopped garlic (The Smiths prefer to get theirs at Hacienda Shiloh in Gettysburg.)1 piece of ginger about the size of your thumb3 jalapeno peppers1/2 cup dried cilantro3 tablespoons sugar2 teaspoons ground coriander1 teaspoon pepper1/4 cup soy sauce3 tablespoons fish sauce (It can be found in the Asian aisle of the grocery store.)3 tablespoons lemon juice1/3 cup vegetable oil

Garnish1 cup peanuts (chopped)1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Combine all the ingredients, except the ribs, in a bowl, mix well. Place the ribs with the membrane removed in a large glass Pyrex dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs and refrigerate overnight. Set up your grill for indirect cooking and preheat to 225 degrees. Place the ribs in a rib rack and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is shrinking away from the bones. Take them off the grill, let them rest lightly covered for a half-hour. while the ribs are resting, chop the peanuts and fresh cilantro for garnish.

Thrifty finds

Instead of paying full price, shop

secondhand.

Pam Miklaucic recently wandered through Re-Source York’s Carlisle Avenue store clutching a 50-cent vegetable steam-er and rainbow-pastel ceramic bird salt-and-pepper shakers for $1.50. Miklaucic of Dover thrift shops for fun and to take her mind off things. She said the selection improves this time of year. She works as a chef and finds a lot of like-new cake and pie pans at secondhand shops. “It has to be something you actually need,” she said, before she was lured by a stainless-steel flatware set. “I might have to buy that.” Nikki Hunger, manager of Re-Source York, said the heaviest donation time starts around Easter and tapers off in the fall when kids go back to school and people become preoccupied. She said the influx could be anywhere from two to three times more than the rest of the year. It increases the store’s need for volunteers and requires more time to sort, clean and prepare the items to sell. Crystal Hulse, a donor service

representative at the Goodwill Store and Donation Center in York, said she sees more drop-offs on Saturdays and Monday mornings after people hold yard sales. She said the store gets about 20 donations on a normal day and about 60 on Saturdays and Mondays. Hunger said Re-Source York receives a lot of antiques and other high-end items, and generally cuts prices by half after researching the products. “We just sold a wool rug worth more than $1,000 for a couple hundred,” she said. “I’m looking at a $800 refrigerator and $1,000 washer and dryer sets.” Hunger said there’s a secret to finding good buys: “Check often.” Aside from helping your wallet, thrift shopping benefits the environment. Re-Source York focuses on recycling and providing a retail outlet for low-cost building materials and home-improvement items at its store on Beaver Street in York. “We want to keep York clean,” Hunger said. “There’s a lot of good products out there that aren’t new. The stuff that peo-ple pass away...what do you do with it?”

Plants that can improve your landscaping

Five plants you can’t kill Eastern red cedars: Technically a juniper tree, they can grow up to 65 feet tall with dark red bark and soft green leaves. Junipers: Ranging in size from low ground cover to trees, this evergreen shrub produces berries that are usually blue. Hostas: These hearty plants have large green leaves that are sometimes trimmed in yellow or cream. They have long stems that produce small, bell-like flowers. Day lilies: With long, slim leaves arching up to meet large, showy flowers, these usually bloom throughout the day with the flower closing at night. Houttuynia: This ground-covering plant has small heart-shaped leaves that will flower in the summer with greenish-yellow buds.

Five plants that thrive in shade Boxwoods: Often used for hedges, these evergreens grow slowly with small yellow flowers.

Russian cypress: This bright green, low-growing plant looks similar to the juniper. Caladium: Known as elephant ears or angel wings, its leaves, which grow 6 to 18 inches long, have red centers and green edges. Coleuses: They range in color from lime green to magenta and mixes of both. They can grow up to 2 feet tall with a large spread of leaves. Rhododendrons: These bushes usually produce colorful flowers that have leaves spiral out below them.

Five plants that love moisture Arborvitae: Similar to cedars, these evergreen trees have flattened branches. Shrub willows: They have moist bark and long, trailing vines and leaves. Dogwoods: These woody trees have small, four-petaled flowers that bloom in the spring. Elderberries: Shrubs or small trees that have feather-like leaves and small white- or cream-colored flowers blooming

Take the guesswork out of landscaping by knowing which plants will thrive in those trouble spots around the house.

Although some shrubs and plants used for landscaping produce berries, it’s best not to eat them, said John Zielinski of Hively Landscapes in Dover Township. “My rule of thumb is you always always always teach children not to eat berries in the

wild — or in the landscape,” he said.

in early spring, followed by black or red berries. Black lace elderberries: They have dark, purple-black leaves reminiscent of Japanese maples and bloom with bright pink flowers in the summer, with a lemon scent.

Five flashy plants Crape myrtles: Usually small trees or shrubs, they have small leaves and bloom in the spring and fall, when they’re covered with small, delicate flowers ranging in color from red to white to dark purple. Double red knockout roses: Known as one of the easiest roses to grow, these flowers, which love the morning sun, have a double bloom and a bright color. Gold thread cypress: This mound-like shrub maintains its shining color throughout the year as long as it’s in sunlight. Nandina: These shrubs grow up to 20 feet tall. The nandina family has foliage that is pink and red in the spring

before turning green. The leaves then

turn orange and purple in autumn before

they fall. In the summer, small white

flowers bloom, and red berries follow.

Wave petunias: These annual, fluted

flowers bloom throughout the warm

months.

Five plants for ground cover Sedums: There are more than 400

varieties, which grow in many types of

soil.

Sempervivum: Their leaves grow in

small rosettes very close to the ground.

Their colors vary from March until June.

Japanese juniper: This plant grows lush

and low to the ground, covering in

a carpet of bright green.

Leadwort: Tiny blue or purple flowers

cover this shrub that has pointed leaves

that hug the ground.

Dwarf sweet box: Growing up to 8 feet

wide on the ground, this plant is known

for its green, glossy leaves and white

buds. www.christmastreehill.com

FAMILY

Caring for children isn’t something to be taken lightly. Especially when they’re someone else’s children. Especially in an age when you practically have to have a signed parental release to help a child blow his nose. Horror stories about bad baby sitters and hyperactive kids make it tough for both parents and would-be baby sitters to negotiate what used to be a simple arrangement. Short of running background checks and calling every 10 minutes to check up on things at home, how’s a parent to find out whether a potential sitter can be trusted? How’s a baby sitter to know what he or she is getting into before the first hours alone with the kids? Well, there are some things that both parents and baby sitters can do.

Age Most teens get their first baby-sitting

experiences by caring for younger siblings

and relatives. Many are ready to tackle the

job for neighbors and family friends by

the time they are 11 or 12 — although it

varies according to the individual’s matu-

rity level and sense of responsibility.

Parents or teens who don’t feel quite

ready can ease into the situation a couple

of different ways. The teen can spend

a few hours volunteering as a helper,

learning how a parent handles certain

situations, and getting to know the chil-

dren and household routines. Or, the teen

could ask the parent if it would be OK to

buddy up with a responsible friend and

sit together the first few times, splitting the money they earn.

Training Nearly any teen who wants to earn

extra cash by baby-sitting can learn

something from the many training courses

offered by the American Red Cross and

area municipalities.

The courses, which typically require

five or six hours of training, cover safety,

first aid, child development, the business

aspects of the job and how to handle

difficult situations. Teens who complete

one of the courses are usually given

a certificate they can show potential

employers.

Parents might want to find out if a

sitter knows CPR, how to handle infants,

and how to change a diaper or warm a bottle. Ask a sitter how he or she would handle an imaginary scenario.

Find (and keep) a good baby sitter• Ask other parents and neighbors who they use. • Inquire at your place of worship if there are teens interested in sitting. • Call the Red Cross and leave your information. Someone who has attended one of its training classes will get back in touch with you. • Pay according to experience, number of children, length and difficulty of the job.

Pay Sometimes, the issue of compensa-tion can be an uncomfortable one. Things to consider when deciding how much to pay or charge include the number and ages of children, their personalities, the amount of time the job lasts, and what responsibilities it includes.

Communication key Open communication about expectations is the best way to ensure that your baby-sitting experience is a positive one for both sides.

On Saturday, May 15, over 150 York County women came out to the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center for a much-needed afternoon with the girls. Smartmamapa.com teamed up with primary event sponsor White Rose Matchmaker to kick off the 1st Annual Girls’ Getaway for a Day. While registering for the no charge event, guests were asked to pick their favorite chick flick from a list of 10 classics. The film receiving the most votes was shown later in the afternoon in the Capitol Cinema.

We opened the doors at 1 p.m. to a crowd of attendees all eager to get inside The Strand and explore the 13 vendors therein. Upon entry, each guest was given a Swag Bag packed with a SmartMama Handbook and other goodies from our event contributors. The bright pink swag bags were made possible in part by our bag sponsor, Curves.

Guests enjoyed a beautiful spread of delicious food from White Rose Bar & Grill. Everyone nibbled on sweet chili chicken, crab dip, tri-colored tortilla chips, stuffed cucumbers and assorted fruits and cheeses. Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages were available, as well as alcoholic options at the cash bar.

The vendor showcase represented a range of area businesses, from a gym just for women to a belly-dancing guru to mobile airbrush tanning. Event attendees had the opportunity to get to know these local business owners face-to-face at their booths. Some women walked away with a fresh spray tan, while others found the perfect gift and more.

Not only was the afternoon a free event for all, each guest also had the chance to win big. Up for grabs were four passes to Hersheypark and Dutch Wonderland, a $100 gift card to Bella Cheveux Hair Salon, an Allison Burns clutch courtesy of Flair Fashions, a discounted membership to White Rose Matchmaker, $25 off any 2010 one-day bus trip with Bailey Travel, one year newspaper subscription, and a gift card with jewelry care items from Leon Ness Jewelry Barn.

Promptly at 3:15 p.m., guests moved next door to the movie theatre for a screening of the afternoon’s winning film, The Devil Wears Prada. Just before show time, emcee Cory Messinger (along with the help of Girls’ Getaway guest Mary Smith) officially welcomed everyone to the Getaway and announced the winners to our giveaways. Shortly thereafter, the lights soon went down and the film played on. Later as the closing credits rolled across the movie screen, the carefree Girls’ Getaway for a Day drew to a close. It was a relaxing afternoon out; good times were had by all in attendance!

The word “mom” doesn’t really come without the word “busy” attached to it. Between ballet lessons, making lunches, gymnastics classes, midnight feedings, jobs and soccer practice, it’s nearly impossible for moms to find alone time. “You’re constantly on, and being a mom is mentally and physically challenging,” said Tamara Leaman, mom of three in York. For mothers with school-age children, “me” time shrinks even more in the summer. So moms need to be creative about finding time for themselves. “I make the kids have an hour of quiet time — time away from me and each other — every day,” said Mary Cutler, 35, a mother of two who lives in Hopewell Township. “There’s times we know we all need a break.” Cutler also plans outings and activities for her son, Adam, 9, and daughter, Mya, 6, including vacation Bible school, summer reading programs, picnics and days at the pool. When Cutler gets time to herself, she peruses Facebook, reads a magazine or spends time with the family’s many animals, which include two pot-bellied pigs, two rats, three cats and a dog. Finding “me” time is crucial to staying healthy and caring for others. Women who overextend themselves can suffer from depression, anxiety and discomfort with social interactions. Those problems can even lead to separation or divorce, said Kim Griffin, a certified nurse practitioner at Hanover Hospital. “Being a mom is the most important job in the world, and we need to keep ourselves tuned up so we can take care of ourselves and the future generation,” Griffin said. So how do moms find time for themselves? There’s no easy answer, but persistence is key.

“I keep a calendar on the fridge and mark things like date night, time for myself and my time with friends without the kids,” said Yvonne Sylvia, who works full time while raising a teenage daughter in Red Lion. When other things come up, reschedule whenever possible, she said. Leaman recommends taking a bath or shower with the bathroom door locked for 20 minutes. Having a phone conversation with a friend without interruption or reading with a cup of coffee for 15 minutes can provide valuable down time in the middle of the day. Time for friends and time for spouses or partners is important, too, Griffin said. No matter what moms do, they should work to find a few moments without responsibility this summer.

“When you think of fireworks, think of blueberries,” said Rick Miller, owner of Blueberry Hill in Lower Windsor Township. That’s because pick-your-own blueberry season runs from the Fourth of July through mid-August. With five acres containing more than 6,000 blueberry bushes, Miller expects a plentiful harvest for the York County folks who stop by to fill their buckets. Picking blueberries is a fun way for families to enjoy being together, he said. “People come with their kids and mom and dad or grandparents — it’s a nice family time.” Miller recommends morning visits to the patch so your berries don’t get mushy from sitting in the sun too long. “The key is to pick them in the cooler part of the day and get them in the fridge as soon as you get home,” he said. Blueberries normally last 10 to 14 days in the refrigerator or can be frozen to use all year long. Freezing blueberries 1. If berries are damp from morning dew or rinsing, spread them on a towel and allow them to “air dry” indoors. Do not place berries in the sun or they will become too soft. 2. Arrange dry blueberries on a cookie sheet and freeze them overnight. Freezing in a shallow layer keeps them from clumping together. 3. The next day, transfer berries into labeled, plastic bags and return to freezer. Blueberries can be rinsed to remove pesticides before freezing, if desired. Miller prefers to rinse his unwashed

frozen berries for about 30 seconds under hot water just before eating instead. “The texture is almost like you just picked them out of the patch,” he said. Eat fresh If you’ve never eaten fresh blueberries, you’re missing one of nature’s most flavorful treats, said Marla Kay Allen of Chanceford Township, who has been picking her own berries for 25 years. She loves to eat a big bowl of plain, fresh-picked blueberries. Store-bought blueberries don’t taste the same, Allen said. “With fresh, you get the best flavor and the best nutrition — there is just no comparison.” Miller said that in order for non-local blueberries to be shipped to grocers without turning mushy, they are plucked from the bush before they’re completely ripe. “That’s why they don’t taste as good,” he explained. “A blueberry doesn’t have its full flavor until it has been blue for about 10 days.”

Blueberry pickin’ tips • Always call first. Sometimes, berries become over-picked and everything shuts down for a few days to allow the berries to ripen. • Bring empty containers. • Weigh empty containers first. Container weight is subtracted when your berries are weighed and cost is tallied.• Bring a drink. If you forget your berry buckets, Miller says not to worry. Most pick-your-own farms have containers or trays you can buy for a nominal fee.

The decorations: The stars are cut out of rolled fondant with a cookie cutter. She inserted a piece of wire before drying them overnight. The stars can brushed with food coloring or sprayed with an airbrush. The sugar is a coarse grade AA sugar used for decorating that can be bought at a cake decorating shop.

SELF

Those familiar with yoga know what it means to get into child’s pose. It’s the relaxing, back-muscle-stretching move where the knees are drawn into the chest and the forehead rests comfortably on the floor. Some moms-to-be are using a series of with-child poses to steady their nerves and prepare their bodies for childbirth. Prenatal yoga shows pregnant women how to focus on their bodies and the bodies of their unborn babies. Deborah Brown, a certified nurse-midwife working at Women’s Healthcare Group in York Township, said prenatal yoga has the potential to help women before, during and after childbirth. Physically, the stretching motions of

yoga help limber up the body for the work of giving birth, she said. And the fit-ter they are before they have their babies, the faster new moms bounce back. “Pregnancy is a time when you have to adapt and shift with the changes your body goes through,” she said. Mentally, yoga can help moms-to-be stay centered and focused on their bodies, Brown said. Being in touch with their bodies means that they’re less afraid to give birth. “Fear causes stress, and stress causes pain,” she said. “Yoga can get the mind focused and better centered.” Prenatal yoga teachers modify traditional yoga poses, or asanas, to make them appropriate for women with grow-

ing bellies and some physical limitations. And there are some moves they avoid. “We always caution against staying in a position that causes dizziness or lack of breath, and we encourage people to move away from those asanas,” said Carrie Hall, a registered yoga teacher who teaches prenatal yoga at Eight Stones Yoga Studio in Springettsbury Township. She said they also avoid twisting motions and putting the feet above the head after a certain point in the pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is safe for most women, but Brown said women pregnant with more than two babies, women with high blood pressure or those who have had preterm labor should not participate. Some yoga studios require a doctor’s note

Yoga is good for all ages

Milly Merkert of Jackson Township has been doing yoga for about nine years. She started when her doctor suggested it as a way to control symptoms of Crohn’s Disease. It’s worked for her, and she said yoga also helps people with other illnesses, including cancer. Children can benefit from yoga, too, she said. “It’s a focus thing, having them be able to be still and quiet.” For people in their 30s and 40s, juggling children and jobs, yoga can be a way to escape and find an hour for themselves. Menopausal women say they find that yoga helps them sleep, Merkert said. For anyone who might be nervous about doing yoga, Merkert said they should know it is not a religion. There is guided meditation at the end of classes, but no one is obligated to do it. Merkert also wants women to know that yoga classes aren’t filled with “20-year-olds who can stand on their heads and bend themselves into a pretzel.” “You and your imperfections are welcome,” she said. “You do not need to be flexible, thin or have good balance to begin.”

Where to go:Not every yoga studio offers prenatal yoga. Here are two nearby that do.

Eight Stones Yoga • Studio, 2805 Eastern Blvd., Springettsbury Township, [email protected] or leave message at 840-4183

before a woman can participate, and most recommend that women tell their doctors if they’re taking a class. Milly Merkert, 34, who teaches yoga at the Dover Township municipal building, said she talks to pregnant women to determine their limitations and reminds them of movements they shouldn’t do. Hall, who has five children, said she wishes she had known about prenatal yoga when she was pregnant. She said yoga has the ability to focus the mind in a calming way that helps return control to moms who sometimes feel that their bodies are alien to them. “Pregnancy doesn’t need to be something that happens to you,” she said. “It’s something that you participate in.”

Don’t hide your legs this summer

Experts share tips and tricks for getting lovely legs.

Many women cringe at the rising temperatures and hemlines. But don’t let the heat cause you to sweat over showing some bare skin. There are many options out there to prepare your legs for the summer.

VelaShape Hillary Lebouitz-Schaefer, president of Lebó Skin Care Center and medical aestheti-cian, says one of the newest advances for women who want to put their best foot — or leg — forward is VelaShape. VelaShape is a non-surgical procedure that helps smooth and eliminate the appear-ance of cellulite. It uses a combination of

infrared light, suction and radio frequency. Lebouitz-Schaefer said the process breaks down excess fat and leaves behind a well-defined area. Lebouitz-Schaefer cautions that, while the results are remarkable, upkeep by the patient is necessary. Patients must maintain active lifestyles and eat healthy so the cellulite doesn’t come back. The best candidates for VelaShape are those who already are active but can’t budge those last few pounds. Being active and caring what you put inside your body is important, said Lebouitz-Schaefer, who also is a mother of three children.

Say ‘no’ to cellulite creams Hillary Lebouitz-Schaefer and Erin Yingling caution against firming and anti-cellulite creams; they simply don’t work. “It’s only a temporary fix to the problem,” Lebouitz-Schaefer said. “I personally don’t use them ‘cause they are a waste of money,” Yingling said.

Page 27: Smart July/August

smartmamapa.com | 27

Exercise Exercise is another key way to keep your body in shape. And although it’s not a quick fix, it’s beneficial for body and mind. Erin Yingling, personal trainer and certi-fied athletic trainer at The Athletic Club in West Manchester Township, believes in sweating off excess weight and eating a balanced diet. For women who aren’t motivated, Yingling encourages them to try something new, such as Zumba, a fast-paced dance workout. Or women can fit exercise into their day by making small changes, such as parking the car far away from the store or taking the stairs instead the elevator. All of these small changes really do add up, Yingling says. She also suggests mixing cardio and strength training to get the most burn for your muscles. Having more lean muscle burns calories, even when you’re not work-ing out. After age 30, women lose about 10 per-cent of their muscle mass every decade, Yingling said. “That’s why building muscle is so important as you age,” she said.

And don’t worry about bulking up, she added. “It’s not possible, because women don’t have the testosterone to bulk up naturally like men do.”

Vein treatment Another concern for women when bar-ing their legs are the appearance of veins. Dr. Steven B. Heird of Advance Vein & Laser Center in York said, “Since we are upright beings, the appearance of veins sometimes cannot be avoided.” People who stand in one place at their jobs are more susceptible to the appear-ance of veins, he said. Standing in one place puts more pressure on the veins. To help prevent veins from forming, try eating healthy and excerise regularly to keep excess weight off, so you don’t add the extra pressure to your veins. Treatment varies depending on the size of the vein. Spider veins are like varicose veins but smaller. They begin as tiny capillaries and appear as blue or red squiggles. A common form of treatment for spider veins is scle-rotherapy. This is an in-office procedure where veins are injected with a solution,

using small needles, which causes them to collapse and fade from view. The more pronounced varicose veins are the blue or purplish enlarged veins you typically see bulging out of a person’s leg. There are different options to treat these types of veins. Sclerotherapy is still sometimes an option. Endovenous Laser Treatment or Radiofrequency Occlusion both use heat to seal the vein shut. There also are laser procedures. The many options for treating veins is something to be discussed with your doctor after a thor-ough diagnosis, Heird said. Treatment at Advance Vein & Laser Center is a “minimally invasive” procedure. There is no real downtime, but Heird rec-ommends patients who are treated for vari-cose veins to take it easy. But, unlike the early procedures done in the ’90s where a patient might spend weeks recovering, today’s treatments are less time consuming and painful. Results are immediate. And many insurance com-panies cover the treatments.

what would summer road trips be without games? we asked our Facebook fans to share their favorite games for a chance to win four passes to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents Barnum’s FUNundrum! in May at the Giant Center in Hershey. We received several great entries, but Shannon Kertzel’s license plate game won the prize. Here’s how you play: Spot a license plate and call out the letters on it. Then, come up with different phrases using the letters in the order they appear. Make the letters on the license plate the first let-ter of each word in the phrases. For example, KEw could be “kittens eating watermelon” or “kiss every warthog.” When you can’t think of any more phrases, look for another license plate. It’s simple and sounds like it could pass a lot of time in the car.

Tara’s Smart Pick “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie Don’t let this novel fool you. It might have won the 2007 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, but its story is for everyone. It’s perfect for the summer because it doesn’t take too long to enjoy. The diary follows the courageous and often tortured path of Arnold “Junior” Spirit. Junior realizes he needs to live life past the confines of his Spokane Indian Reservation and enrolls at an all-white high school in a neighboring farm town. Filled with first loves and varsity basketball games, it has all of the elements of a normal teenage high school experience. But, because Junior is pulled between two different worlds, nothing is really ordinary for him.

“The Physics of Superheroes” by James Kakalios Who read it? Bob Laird, Washington Township “This book explains physics using exam-ples from 1960s superhero comics. I had read all of them as a kid. It is great way to teach the fundamentals of physics. It is actu-ally a fun read.”

“Cryptonomicon” by Neal Stephenson Who read it? Leo Motter, author of “Haunted Places in York County Pennsylvania,” Springettsbury Township “Cryptonomicon” has two intertwined story lines — one about code breakers in world war II, and the other about a modern day search for buried gold in the Philippines. It has great characters and is a lot of fun. You find yourself cheering for the mathematicians as loudly as you’re cheering for the Marines.”

Art therapist helps children heal

By TARA HAWKINS for Smart What inspired you to become an art therapist? I had a great high school teacher who told me about the job. I researched it and then shadowed a therapist. I was so excited to find a way to use art to help people.

What exactly does an art therapist do? Art therapists are trained in psychotherapy techniques. We use art media to help our clients resolve their issues. Instead of using words, we work things out through art and play. I do painting, drawing, mosaics and clay sculpting with the children.

Why are children involved in art therapy? Most of the children that I see at The Lehman Center have been in foster care, suffered abuse or lost a loved one. They range from age 3 to 18. Many children can’t express in words how they are feeling. Art is a very comfortable language for them to use.The greatest part of my job is when I see how the art and play finally help.

What is the goal of your treatment? Kids come in with all kinds of behavioral symptoms. I work with them to try to resolve their conflicts. It usually takes three to six months of therapy. Before ending, we work with the family to decide if the child is succeeding in school and their home environment. we are looking for their behavior to be normal again.

What can you tell me about the Lehman Center? The Lehman Center is in a very old building in downtown York. Our clients are mostly from York city, but not all. The center is best known for its crisis nursery. This is a 24-hour respite service for any child up to age 6. Parents can bring a child in for up to 72 hours. The nursery is there to sup-port families and help prevent child abuse. There are not many programs like this in the country. There are also several parent-support groups and case-management services at The Lehman Center.

How did you make the waiting room more kid friendly? Before, it was like an attorney’s office. It definitely wasn’t very welcoming to children or their parents. with the help of a local youth group, we tore down the wallpaper and repainted the walls. Along with the staff, we painted an ocean mural on the wall. (See photos at smartmamapa.com)

Angela sometimes uses puppets in her therapy sessions. The characters allow children to create a story that expresses their feelings. For instance, the alligator puppet is aggressive, so it helps kids express anger in an appropriate way.
