mproving one’s quality of life can
actually come from a simple walk
around the block.
Walking is a feel-good exercise that improves
health and, for many, helps improve attitudes on
life. Area walkers use the parks and sidewalks
of local towns and communities for their daily
walks. Some people walk on their own, while
others enjoy walking in groups.
Group walking has become very popular. The
Middlesex YMCA sponsors a Walker’s Club in
the spring and summer and the club currently has
10 members who are getting in shape to walk/
run in the March 28 Ukrop’s Monument Avenue
10K in Richmond.
Middlesex YMCA executive director Buzz
Lambert has spearheaded the program and members are training each Saturday at the YMCA in
Hartfield and at Taber Park in Urbanna. During
the week, walkers are responsible to work out on
their own.
“They can either run/walk on their own or
meet at the YMCA and work out on treadmills
or do whatever,” said Lambert. “If they are not
members, during this 10-week process they get
to utilize the Y to assure they are meeting their
schedule.
“What we do when we meet is start out with
warmups and light stretching,” he said. “After
that, they form their pods and some people go
two miles and others go five miles. It’s a good
group. It’s a wonderful way to stay in shape and
meet some great people.”
The group follows a 10-week training program
that is designed exclusively for walkers who want
to get in shape for a 10K walk/run. The program

Mary Davis (left) and Lisa Walker are part of the Middlesex YMCA Team In Training program that will walk
in the Ukrop’s 10K on March 28 in Richmond. The YMCA is sponsoring 10 participants from Middlesex in
the event. The Y also has a separate walking group that is active in the spring and summer.

Middlesex YMCA executive director Buzz Lambert directs stretching exercises for a YMCA-sponsored walking group
at Taber Park in Urbanna.
also publishes literature on walking that
is helpful to all walkers.
“Walking is about health,” said Lambert. “The Ukrop’s 10K Training Team
Program is designed first to promote
good health practices. It’s a very popular program. They had an early entry fee
due January 21 and 23,000 people had
already signed up.”
During the training process, participants can go to clinics on using proper
walking shoes, nutrition, health and
wellness, how to stay injury free, and
what to expect on event day.
Mary Davis and Lisa Walker are
walking together in the 10K. In addition
to walking and training for the event,
Walker walks three to four times a week
around Urbanna with another friend.
Part of her morning walk involves walking her dog. “My dog gets real upset if
she doesn’t get to go,” said Walker.
“Mary and I have participated in the
Ukrop’s 10K for four or five years now,
and it’s a great event,” she said. “It gives
us something to work toward and helps
me set goals for myself. I really enjoy
walking with someone. I think if you
have somebody to meet, you have to
go.”
Davis lives near Christchurch and
walks by herself most of the time. “I’m a
hit-or-miss walker,” she said. “I should
walk every day. I do it to get exercise
and it makes me feel good, even though
the couch looks mighty good,” she
joked.
Millie Hampton of Warner, a grandmother who walks, said what she likes
about walking is that it is an exercise that
everyone can do at his or her own pace.
She likes walking in a group because
people can break apart and walk along
with those who are at their level.
“I just started this training on January 17, but I have walked off and on for
quite a few years,” she said. “I’ll get on
a good walking spree, and then I’ll get
lazy and quit.”
Hampton was encouraged to walk the
10K by her doctors. “I had gone to see
my doctor at the VA Hospital in Richmond and he was giving me a little bit
of news I didn’t want to hear,” she said.
“I asked him if it would be all right for
me to participate in the 10K walk. He
said it was a great idea and said if I’d
sign up, he’d walk with me.
“I’ve got health issues coming up and
I don’t want them to get any worse,”
continued Hampton. “It’s helping me
lose weight. I’ve already lost 10 pounds
and its helping to put me where I want
to be health-wise.
“I walk because it makes me feel
better and it makes me feel better about
myself,” she said. “Walking is an easy
way to improve one’s quality of life and
stay healthy.”
Tom Hardin of Stormont had suffered
from lower back pain for years. He went
to the doctor, who took x-rays and told
him he had calcium deposits on the
spine. “What do I do?” Hardin asked
the doctor.
“Walk two miles a day and take Advil
when the pain is bad,” responded the
doctor. “Walking is the best thing you
can do for your back.”
According to AARP, numerous doctors agree that walking has a plethora of
health benefits, such as increased “brain
power” that helps one think more clearly,
make better decisions, solve problems,
and have more concentration.
Ask any doctor and he will tell you
walking is an important part of any
weight management or weight loss plan,
and will help one sleep better, wake up
energized and be ready for the day.
Walking can simply lead to a long,
healthy, vibrant life—even as people
age, says AARP. Walking reduces the
risk of many diseases and helps control
existing conditions.
The West Point YMCA also has a
10-member team entered in the Ukrop’s
10K, and in April the Middlesex YMCA
will restart its weekly walking group.
“We urge anyone who wants to walk
and be a part of a walking group to
come and join us,” said Lambert.
) Choose a wide
variety of fruits and
vegetables. Try to get
fruits and vegetables
of different colors—
dark green, purple,
red, orange and
yellow.
) Drink plenty of
water, especially when
exercising, to prevent
dehydration.
) Choose low-fat
dairy products. They
keep your teeth and
bones strong.
) Avoid saturated
fats, trans-fat and
high cholesterol
foods by reading the

) Choose lean
meats, fish, and
beans instead of red
meat and whole milk.
) Have a light snack,
such as a banana
and skim milk, before
exercise to fill your
body with nutrients
and energy.

SETTING KIDS’ HEALTH
by Reid Pierce Armstrong
Many people think of chiropractors as
being for the aches and pains that we
feel as we age, from playing sports in our
teens to working hunched over computers in our adulthood. But, some say young
children can benefit just as much, if not
more, from regular chiropractic treatments.
As the mother of 4-year-old twins, Stephanie Reeves of Kilmarnock has spent her fair
share of time in the waiting room of the pediatrician's office. From colds to stomach bugs,
her children have had it all. Last winter, Reeves
recalls struggling for two straight months with
an ear infection that just wouldn’t clear up.
“As a parent, it is tough when your kids
are sick. It means days off from work, not to
mention the misery our kids feel when they
are sick and we can’t help them,” Reeves
said.
This year, something has been different.
Mary Logan and Andrew have started
seeing Dr. Matt Shifflet of Pure n’ Simple
Family Chiropractic in Kilmarnock for
treatments on a regular basis, and since
the new routine started, they've only been
to the pediatrician once, for a case of strep
throat.
“My kids have not been as sick this winter
as they usually are, and nothing has changed
around them except the chiropractic visits,” Reeves
said. “Kids are still sick all around them, but with
the first sniffle, we go right up to the chiropractor’s office to rule out any spinal abnormalities
so their little immune systems are at their best and,
so far, it has been great.”
Reeves, a massage therapist, has always appreciated the benefits of chiropractic visits. Her children
had their first visit to Dr. Jeems Love of Northern
Neck Chiropractic in Kilmarnock shortly after they
were born.
“Childbirth can be quite traumatic on an infant,”
Dr. Love said.
There is now evidence that complications in the
birthing process may be a leading cause of colic, he
added. A vertebrae can easily become misaligned
as the baby is forced through the birth canal, placing pressure on the nerves that connect the brain to
the digestive tract and causing pain.
“We have had great success treating colic with
very minor adjustments. A parent will walk in at
their wits end with a crying baby. We will make
a small adjustment, and sometime the results are
instant,” Dr. Love said.

Even Cesaeran sections can cause childbirth
injuries, said Dr. John Lemon of Family Chiropractic in Saluda.
“A lot of people think when women have c-sections the magic door opens and the babies fly out.
It's actually more damaging to children than they
thought originally,” said Dr. Lemon.
It’s not only birth trauma that's an issue. A lot of
the bumps, bangs and spills that toddlers take as
they are learning to walk can cause spinal sublimations that lead to a weakened immune system, said
Dr. Lemon.
In the past few decades, chiropractic care has
grown in popularity as a result of the success
that chiropractic doctors have had, not only in
treating aches and pains but in improving many
other chronic illnesses as well. Their successes
have caught the attention of many in the medical
field, from the traditional physicians who work
in tandem with them to the insurance companies
who are offering increasing coverage for chiropractic treatment. Even the military now enlists
chiropractors to help ease the back pains of their
soldiers, said Dr. Lemon.
In children, chiropractic treatments have been
successful in treating colitis, headaches, hyperac-
STRAIGHT
tivity, bed wetting, asthma and allergies, in addition
to improving posture.
“Treating children is very different than treating adults,” Dr. Lemon said. “A gentle fingertip
manipulation is typically all that’s needed.”
The reason that chiropractic treatment works on
such a variety of maladies is that even minor adjustments to the spine can relieve pressure on the body’s
central nervous system, which is connected to every
major organ in the body. A headache or a stomach
ache may actually stem from a problem in the spine.
A recent study by Dr. Ron Pero of the NYU School
of Medicine concluded that people who pursued regular chiropractic treatments for any reason had immune
systems that were 200 percent stronger than those who
had never been to a chiropractor.
For Stephanie Reeves, the difference has been
remarkable:
“Mary Logan and Andrew actually ask to go
when something doesn’t feel right in their bodies.
Even at four years old they know their bodies
better than most adults I see as a massage therapist. Regular chiropractic care this winter has kept
their immune systems strong. We have not had
any ear infections since they have been getting
adjusted regularly.”

For most cataract patients, life without reading glasses
or bifocals is something they either experienced before Age 40 or they just dreamed about for most of
their lives. But today,
ReSTOR® lens implant is turning those dreams into
reality. The ReSTOR® Lens can correct near-sighted
ness, far-sighted ness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.
Presbyopia refers to a diminishing ability to read fine
print that typically occurs after the age of forty. Cataract surgery is used to replace a patient’s natural lens
when it becomes cloudy and difficult to see through.
The ReSTOR® Lens is available at Rappahannock
General Hospital and Riverside Tappahannock Hospital for patients who need cataract surgery.

Keep your financial health
T
he current economic downturn is challenging the
“financial health’ of almost all
Americans. Below are a few
things you can do to meet these
challenges.
• Review your specific obligations that creditors claim you
owe to make certain you really
owe them.
• Contact your creditors to let
them know you’re having difficulty making your payments,
and try to work out an acceptable payment schedule.
• Budget your expenses.
Create a spending plan that
allows you to reduce your
debts. Itemize your necessary
expenses (such as housing
and health care) and optional
expenses (such as entertainment and vacation travel).
Stick to the plan.
• Cut out any unnecessary
spending. Clip coupons, purchase generic products at
the supermarket, and avoid

stop incurring new debt.
• Use your savings and other
assets to pay down debts.
• Look for additional resources
from governmental and private sources for which you
may be eligible.

Tax laws change—and so does your life. Relocation,
marriage, divorce or changes in your net worth can
undermine your estate plan. The steps you took
just a few years ago to safeguard your assets and
intentions may not be right for you today.
Reviewing your plan regularly and providing
for professional administration of your estate and
trust is a good practice — and it is our practice.

The person may not breathe for 10 to

to fall dangerously low. As the body is

What• You• Eat

Organic Food:
Buy or Bypass?
money.
Buy these products organic:
Apples, bell peppers, celery,
cherries, imported grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, potatoes, red
raspberries, spinach, strawberries,
meat, poultry, eggs, dairy.
Buying the following items
organic may have some benefit:
Asparagus, avocados, bananas,
broccoli, cauliflower, sweet corn,
kiwi, mangos, onions, papaya,
pineapples, sweet peas, breads,
oils, chips, pasta, cereal, canned
food, dried fruit and dried vegetables.
Don’t spend money on organic
seafood and cosmetics.
Research shows that pesticides
and other contaminants found in
our bodies can be traced to the
foods we eat. Eating more organic
foods can reduce our exposure to
chemicals.
To save money on organic
products, comparison shop with
area supermarkets, go to farmers’
markets, buy a share in a community-supported organic farm, or
order by mail.
Nutritionists agree that whether
you buy organic or conventional
foods, you should:
• Buy local produce whenever
possible.
• Reduce pesticide residues and
other contaminants on foods
by washing and scrubbing all
produce under streaming water.
• Remove the peel from fruits
and vegetables.
• Remove the outer leaves of
leafy vegetables.
• Discard cut produce if it has
been out of the refrigerator for
four hours or more.
• Trim visible fat and skin from
meat and poultry, as pesticide
residues can collect in fat.
• Eat a variety of foods from
different sources.
• Prioritize. The majority of
your organic food dollars
should be spent on produce.
Organic refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural
products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and
meat.
Organic farming practices are
designed to encourage soil and
water conservation and reduce
pollution. Farmers who grow
organic produce and meat don’t
use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds and prevent
livestock disease.
Many factors may influence
our decision to buy or not to
buy organic food. Although the
USDA certifies organic food, it
doesn’t claim these products are
safer or more nutritious. Organic
foods meet the same quality
and appearance as conventional
foods. You may find that organic
fruits and vegetables spoil faster
because they are not treated with
waxes and preservatives.
Many people buy organic to
limit their exposure to pesticides.
When farmers spray pesticides,
this can leave residue on produce.
Some people buy organic food for
environmental reasons. Another
reason is taste; people say they
can taste the difference between
organic and conventional.
Most organic foods cost more
than conventional foods due
to more expensive agricultural
practices, higher government
regulations, and lower crop Deborah Walton is the registered

any studies that investigate
the benefits of red wine
suggest that a moderate amount
of red wine (one drink a day for
women and two drinks a day for
men) lowers the risk of heart
attack for people in middle age
by 30 to 50 percent. It is also
suggested that alcohol such as
red wine may prevent additional
heart attacks if you have already
suffered from one.
Other studies indicate that
red wine can raise HDL cho-
lesterol (good cholesterol) and
prevent LDL cholesterol (bad
cholesterol) from forming. Red
wine may help prevent blood
clots and reduce the blood
vessel damage caused by fat
deposits.
Indeed, studies showed that
people from the Mediterranean
region who regularly drank red
wine have a lower risk of heart
disease.
Red wine is a particularly
rich source of the antioxidant
resveratrol and flavonoids. Resveratrol, found in grape skins
and seeds, increases HDL cholesterol and prevents blood
clotting. Flavonoids exhibit
antioxidant properties, helping to prevent blood clots and
plaque formation in arteries.
The American Heart Association cautions people not to
start drinking if they do not
already drink alcohol. If you
already drink alcohol, do so in
moderation.

Your pet is worth a nutritious meal
by Richard Clayton
nyone who owns a pet knows they are
great for our health. Pets provide stress
relief, mental happiness and exercise. With all
the benefits that pets offer, it only makes sense
to provide your pets with the proper nutrition
and health supplements that they need to live a
longer and happier life.
The most basic and easiest thing a loving pet
owner can do is provide a high quality diet. Pets
don’t have the ability to go out and shop for
themselves; they are dependent on us to give
them what they need. Many times a pet will have
a medical issue, such as dry, flaky skin, chronic
ear infections or hot spots, that can be linked
directly to a lower quality food.
Dogs and cats are susceptible to food allergies just as any person can be. The most
common allergens are corn, wheat and soy
products, which are widely used in many low
quality pet foods.
The first thing to look for in a good quality food is the absence of corn, wheat and soy
products. Many times, after removing these
ingredients from their diet, a pet’s skin problems and ear infections will cease.
Another thing to consider when purchasing
pet food is the protein source. Does the man-

ufacturer use meat by-products, and if so, is
the source listed? Many lower quality pet food
manufacturers use meat by-products from
meat packing plants.
If you switch to a higher quality food, especially if you are feeding a generic or store
brand food, you will notice a difference almost
immediately. Within a week, many dogs and
cats will produce smaller amounts of stool.
This is due to the fact that there are no fillers in a quality food; therefore more of the
food actually gets digested and used, not just
passed through. Also, with no filler, your pets
will eat less. Think of it like eating crispy rice
cereal versus eating a granola based cereal:
Which one filled you up faster and kept you
full longer?
In short, there are many choices for a happy,
healthy pet. And the best way to find them is to
visit your local pet supply store. They should
be knowledgeable in all aspects of pet care,
and willing to help you in any way they can to
get the right product to you when you need it.
Richard Clayton is the owner of a small local
pet store, and believes in providing the best in
pet care and supplies to increase the standard
of living for all pets.

lmost anyone, from infants to seniors, can enjoy
the benefits of a good massage.
Massage is one of the oldest healing arts. Chinese
records dating back 3,000 years document its use.
Massage therapy has been proven beneficial for many
chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis,
high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression
and infertility. It also helps relieve the stress and tension
of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.
There are massage styles to fit every need.
Swedish massage uses a system of long, gliding
strokes, kneading, and percussion and tapping tech-
niques on the more superficial layers of muscles. It is
designed to increase circulation, which may improve
healing and decrease swelling from an injury. This
technique also results in generalized relaxation.
Deep tissue massage is used to alleviate chronic muscle
pain by reaching deeper muscles in problem areas; it’s
often used before or after athletic events as part of an athlete’s training and to promote healing from injuries.
Hot stone massage is a popular alternative means of
treatment for some health conditions like arthritis, depression and insomnia. Water-treated, heated Basalt massage
stones are placed on the body to promote relaxation,
improve circulation and loosen tension in the muscles.
Reflexology involves the application of pressure on
points of the feet, hands and ears that are connected
to particular organs and systems of the body. It is a
good option for people who work on their feet.
Shiatsu uses finger pressure applied to specific
points with the thumb, finger, and palm to release
muscle tension and increase circulation.
To get the most benefit from a massage, communicate with the massage therapist, let your therapist
know if you’re uncomfortable at any point during the
massage and try to relax for the rest of the day.

Profile
Marathon Man
by Alex Haseltine
Donald Mitchell is an information technology specialist. He
is also a father of two, a coach, a
marathon runner and a tri-athlete.
Donald fell in love with running
at age 11, when he started taking
daily runs with an exchange student who lived with his aunt.
He attended Northumberland
High School and spent all four
years on the track and cross-
H
O
country teams, specializing in the
1600 and 3200 meter races.
In 1995, Donald moved to Atlanta,
which he described as a “big fitness
area.” He began taking daily runs
with his co-workers during lunch
breaks, and it wasn’t long before he
was competing in marathons.
In 2004, Donald bought a
mountain bike and began taking
regular rides with the Northern
Neck Cycling Group. It wasn’t

E
my own for the first time.
Which living person do you
most admire? Before this year
I wouldn’t have had an answer to
that question, but now I would
have to say Barack Obama.
What is your greatest extravagance? I probably go a little
overboard on fitness equipment. I
am willing to spend more money
on that than anything else. And,
of course, my bike.
What is your greatest
achievement? It would have to
be the financial side. I am looking
ahead to retirement. I think I have
come a long way.
What motivates you? I tell
myself, while you are sitting on the
couch, the people you want to beat
next year are out training. If it was
easy, everybody would be doing it.
Who is the greatest athlete of
all time? The late Steve Prefontaine,
Olympic long-distance runner.
Do you listen to music while
you train? No. While I’m on
the road I like to be able to hear
what’s going on around me.
Motto: Excuses are for the weak.
long before he invested in a road
bike and became a serious cyclist.
During the winter he tries to ride
at least 60 miles per week and he
shoots for a 100 miles per week in
the warm months.
In 2005, Donald began swimming regularly at the YMCA, incorporating it into his regular regiment
of running and cycling. Triathlons
were the next logical step.
“After I conquered the marathon, I thought, what’s next?”
Since 1996, he has competed in
seven marathons and three triathlons.
He also volunteers as an assistant coach for the Northumberland
High School track and crosscountry teams.

Aerobics Guru
by Reid Pierce Armstrong
If you’ve ever seen somebody
walking around the Northern Neck
YMCA with a shirt that says “I
survived Violet,” they are referring
to 87-year-old aerobics instructor
Violet Lewis.
Violet has been teaching
aerobics since 1981 when she
took her first aerobics class at
the Oakwood Fitness Center in
Kilmarnock. Six months later,
Thank you
Violet was a certified instructor.
Now she teaches four exercise
classes per week, including water
aerobics, Body Design and a
senior exercise class called Senior
Specialty.
Violet said she has always been
active, but until she was 60 the only
formal exercise class she took was
Scottish Highland Dancing.
When Violet’s husband died
nearly a decade ago, it was the
Virginia Health Services.
“The care my husband received at Lancashire
Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center was
the very special loving care he was used to
getting at home from his family. The staff
gave special thought and worked hard
to keep him content. It eased my
mind to know that he was in such
good hands. My husband couldn’t
have been treated any better
anywhere else.”
exercise classes that saved her,
she said.
“It gave me a reason to get up
in the morning,” she said.
Violet said that she too feels
the aches and pains of exercise,
but that when she’s teaching a
class she doesn’t have time to
think about it.
Weighing in at only 95 pounds,
Violet said she doesn’t have any
special diet or health regimen.
She takes vitamins and lives a life
of moderation.
“I eat to live, I don’t live to eat,”
she said.
When she’s not teaching exercise
classes, she’s likely taking one herself. Two of her favorites are personal training and weight training.
Violet says she hopes she’s still
teaching when she’s 90. With
spunk in her step and only a few
years to go, that’s looking like a
real possibility.
Name: Violet Lewis
Age: 87
Village: White Stone

Describe Yourself in Three
Words: Caring, Christian, Motivator
What is your idea of perfect
happiness? I couldn’t have it any
better than I have it right now, at
my age, being able to do what I do,
working with and helping people.
Which living person do you
most admire? Jack LaLanne,
the “Godfather of Fitness” who,
at the age of 94, continues to work
out every morning for two hours,
spending 1½ hours in the weight
room and ½ hour swimming.
What is your greatest extravagance? Body massage.
What do you consider your
greatest achievement? Raising four children.
What motivates you? I always
have to be doing something. I
can’t sit still.
Exercise advice: Be consistent.
Listen to your body.
Favorite workout music: “Your
Mama Don’t Dance” by Loggins
and Messina, and “Celebration”
by Cool and the Gang.
Motto: Live and learn.

Emily Gaines breathes peppermint scented oxygen at Net
Cruisers Cafe in Lancaster.
A hit of oxygen and
a side of espresso
by Alex Haseltine
veryone can identify with the need for a breath of fresh air.
How about fresh air with a hint of peppermint, vanilla or lavender? These are some of the options at Net Cruisers Cafe in
Lancaster, where atmospheric oxygen is purified, concentrated,
spiked with essential oils and served up with some espresso.
Since July of 2006, when owners Rich and Holly Pleasants
opened the doors of the cafe, they have been providing patrons
with purified oxygen paired with aromatherapy.
Oxygen levels in the atmosphere range from 19 to 21 percent.
The oxygen dispensed through the bar to your nose, through a
plastic hose called a cannula, is 87 to 95 percent pure. The concentrated gas is pumped into a beaker of distilled water which
has been mixed with one of several natural oils. According to
Rich, each oil has specific properties.
“Oxygen bars have been around since the eighties in Japan.
Aromatherapy has been around since the days of Cleopatra.
Every essential oil has a different medicinal property,” said Rich.
“For example, eucalyptus helps with sinus problems and cherry
is supposed to be a female aphrodisiac.”
According to an information sheet provided by the cafe, using
the oxygen bar heightens concentration, counters aging and stabilizes immune systems.
Sandy Walsh, a spokesperson for the FDA, said proprietors of
oxygen bars are free to make claims about the therapeutic benefits of oxygen therapy, as long as they don’t tout specific medical benefits.
“As long as they don’t make claims that it cures cancer or cures
AIDS then it’s okay. Keep in mind though there are no scientific
studies to support these claims,” said Walsh.
Always the skeptic, I took Rich up on an offer to sample the air.
After fighting a nagging cold for the previous couple of weeks, I
elected to try the eucalyptus, in hopes it would clear me up a bit.
At first the effect was barely noticeable, but after five minutes
I was breathing a bit easier. The aroma, which was reminiscent
of Vicks Vapo-Rub, did the trick, though it interacted with my
taste buds and gave an odd flavor to an otherwise lovely cup of
espresso.
