by Starke Jett
The land of pleasant living offers many benefits. Among the best is the abundant
availability of freshly grown crops, locally raised livestock. Buying and eating
homegrown foods supports the local economy and benefits consumers because they
are getting fresher, healthier, less expensive products.
L
ike other counties in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula, Middlesex, Lancaster and
Northumberland are primarily
rural and there is an economic emphasis on agriculture.
However, purchasing locally raised
livestock and eggs can still be challenging. Virginia Cooperative Extension
agents in each county can be contacted
for lists of alpaca, bison, cattle, emu,
lamb, pig and poultry farmers. There
are also seasonal farmers’ markets in
many towns and a plethora of roadside
stands throughout the region selling
fresh fruit, honey and vegetables.
Sometimes there is just a sign by the
road indicating that local produce can
be bought up the driveway.
Such a sign leads the way to Willow
Oaks Farm at 11704 Mary Ball Road
near Kilmarnock. Thomas and Susan
Smither describe their 40-acre homestead as a retirement home for animals.
Susan Smither offers blue
and brown eggs.
s
Bay HealthStyles s &EBRUARY They have 50 chickens, 14 cats, four
dogs, four sheep, three horses, two
ducks and two goats.
They started selling eggs to help
defray the cost of animal feed when
they found they couldn’t give them all
away. They get between one and two
dozen blue and brown eggs every day.
They are not motivated by the bottom
line but rather just a plain love of animals.
“This is the home of happy hens,”
said Susan as her cats followed the
couple at feeding time. “We know them
all.”
Acquiring local farm products has
been made easier by the advent of
Community Supported Agriculture
(CSA). The system was started in Japan
50 years ago, according to Northumberland-based certified naturally grown
organic farmer John Cooper. He is the
owner of Olin-Fox Farms in Reedville,
a founding member of the Family of
Fine Farms, a regional farm group that
adheres to very high growing standards
and sells year around through Olin
Fox’s CSA system.
Cooper said the first Japanese CSA
organizers had become concerned about
where their food was coming from, so
they devised a system under which clients could sign up with local farmers.
They paid in advance to receive a share
of produce each week during the growing season, thus assuring them of where

in her grow tunnel.
and how their food was produced.
This system has proven effective
around the world and has been proliferating in the U.S. over the last two
decades. One of the first local farms to
market through the CSA system, OlinFox Farm is in its 12th year of selling
that way.
“I got into this for the love of a good
tomato,” said Cooper. “I grow over 200
different kinds of vegetables now. The
CSA is great for both the client and me.
They get a steady supply of high quality produce and I get a steady, dependable cash flow.”
Holly Hill on Waterview Road in
Middlesex is a member of the Family
of Fine Farms. Iris Keister owns and
operates the naturally grown, certified
organic farm.
Her husband Frank, son Jim Fellers
Jr., and his children, Jim Fellers III and
Emily Fellers, are all fully involved in
the enterprise. Like Cooper, she uses
no pesticides or chemical fertilizers,
but she has been farming this way for
25 years.
She recently added a 2,100-squarefoot grow tunnel to produce crops
throughout the winter months. A grow
tunnel is different from a greenhouse,
she said. It has no heating system
except for passive solar heat from the
arching plastic roof that also produces
constant condensation moisture.
A January visit to the farm featured
a walk through rows of healthy green
and red vegetables growing in the
tunnel. Chinese cabbage, kale, leaf lettuce, red poc choi, ruby red swiss chard,
spring onions, cilantro, basil and parsley were among the crops cared for by
the Keisters. In the summer they also
will produce Asian eggplants, blueberries, heirloom tomatoes, squash, strawberries, sugar baby watermelons and
zucchini. They also have apples, Asian
pears, pears and persimmons.
Like Olin-Fox, the eight-acre Keister farm employs the French intensive
method of cultivation to maximize
their available space. Crops are planted
close together in raised beds. Iris said
she is also a fan of the CSA system and
she usually has 50 members each year.
“Our return members have been
really great,” she said. “Some decide
what they want and some let me fill
their orders.”
Brian Barnes sells produce from
farming part time through the CSA
system and agrees that it is beneficial.
For about $15 a week a client would get
a “bushel box” of a variety of produce,
he said.
“It’s gotten quite popular,” said
Barnes. “It helps everybody, especially a small grower like me to know
how much demand there will be in
advance.”
Barnes also raises Duroc pigs on his
farm near Kilmarnock, where he has
about eight acres dedicated to growing
produce and raising his livestock. He
said the “all American breed is known
for its taste.” He breeds female pigs to
sell the young to other farmers, not for
market slaughter. Each female can produce up to 20 babies a year.
“I’ve only been selling the piglets,
mostly to people up in the Shenandoah
Valley,” said Barnes. “Raising your own
meat is really big up there.”
The lack of a local slaughterhouse
has made selling pigs for their meat difficult because of the logistical costs of
traveling out of the region twice (dropoff and pick-up) to get the pigs butchered, said Barnes.
However, a new venture in Miskimmon could change that.
Mama Payne’s Meat and Feed will
soon open in a new 1,600-square-foot
cinder block structure owned by Robin
and Neil Payne on Courthouse Road in
Northumberland. The enterprise is the
culmination of a lifelong dream for Neil,
who learned his trade as a youngster in
Stafford County, where he worked for
his grandfather, Warren Harden.
“I always wanted to be a butcher,”
said Payne. “This has always been my
dream. I’ve got a line of people that
want me to work for them.”
Payne has been butchering deer for
hunters and to donate to the Hunters for
Hungry program for the several years.
His operation will be the only commercial slaughterhouse in the Northern
Neck, he said. In early February Payne
was waiting to get the last of his equipu6
ment from Canada and

It is always cheaper and healthier.”

get her livestock butchered by
a USDA certified butcher. She
said there are only five certified
butchers in the state.
“I’m so excited to have him
opening so close,” said Simpson. “Now we can go a mile
down the road and get freshly
butchered meat. I am sure he
will get USDA certified. Having
that processing facility is huge.
It will benefit everybody.”
She said her livestock eats
grass and grain, a feeding
method called “grass fed, free
option,” which means they have
both available. It is generally
considered the best method.
John Cooper of Olin-Fox Farm in
Reedville runs a Community Supported
Agriculture market.
Simpson said the cows usually
prefer the grass.
Her farm is certified all
natural by the USDA, which
means she uses no antibiotics,
no hormones and no steroids,
substances normally found in
feedlot raised livestock. It is
also an open farm, meaning she
will sell to anyone who wants to
stop by and pick up just a couple
of steaks or any other amount.
“There has been a huge influx
of people interested in eating
naturally,” said Simpson. “It is
always cheaper and healthier.”
The 280-acre Simpson Farm
is a family affair. Their four
children, Lexi, 14, Maddie, 13,
Mitch, 11, and Luke, 8, pitch in
with all the chores of feeding,
cleaning and cultivating. Mitch
said he is particularly fond of
using the red 1948 Farmall tractor to grow hay and other crops.
They are virtually self-sufficient, said Emily. They bake
their own bread, make their own
goat’s milk soap and can their
own produce. She said they only
go to the grocery store for a few
items, such as oranges, that they
might crave, but don’t necessarily need.
“I am just totally happy here,”
said Simpson as three of her
children petted their one-yearold cow named Candy. “All our
cows get touched every day.
They all have names.”
Black Angus beef can be
bought in the Middle Peninsula
from Fox Hall Farm, owned by
Douglas Trainham Jr., who has
20 free-range, grass and hay fed
cows on his 80 acres.
Trainham is a neighbor of the
Keisters on Waterview Road.
He lives in a 300-year-old farm
house that he has restored. He
said he really enjoys the “hands
on” aspects of the operation,
such as building fences and
repairing buildings.
He has owned the farm for 15
years, but just started his cattle
operation a few months ago. His
cows can reach 1,400 pounds,
he said. A 1,000-pound animal
will yield about 400 pounds of

meat. Currently, he is operating
by word of mouth.
“I am just trying to find a
niche,” he said.
Another niche livestock
market is bison farming.
There are two bison farms in
the Northern Neck. Edmonds
Farm, owned by Don and Kim
Edmonds since 1997, is a 135acre facility near Ottoman in
Lancaster. Wild T Bison Farm,
owned by Fritz and Kerry Wildt
since 2000, is a 128-acre ranch
near Haynesville in Richmond
County.
The Wildts care for a herd of
up to 60 animals a year, with
two breeding bull bisons named
Wild Bill and Blackjack. The
male animals can reach sizes
of over 2,000 pounds, while the
females only grow to a paltry
1,300 pounds or so.
“You never turn your back
on a bison,” said Fritz after he
had delivered hay on a tractor to
part of his herd. “They are wild
animals, unlike cows, and much
more aware. They are as fast as a
quarter horse for short distances.
If one just accidently brushes up
against you, you’re in trouble.
And our lead cow is particularly
peculiar.”
As he was trying to spread
the hay out for the big animals,
that female, number 56, started
coming close to where he was
standing with a intense gaze on
her furry face. Her approach
prompted his quick exit from
the pasture under the 10,000volt electric fencing. His rolling
dive seem to be a well-practiced
maneuver.
Wildt’s wife, Kerry, related
the time Wild Bill had tried to
jump over a holding pen, while
she and Fritz were standing on a
platform just on the other side.
Wild Bill got hung up halfway
over the six-foot-high steel railing. They were able to get the
animal back into the pen with
prodding staffs, but neither
cared to repeat the exercise, so
they added an extra foot to the
height of the safety railing.
Raising bison meat is a growing market, according to Wildt
and data from the National
Bison Association (NBA). From
a low of only 1,000 at the turn of
the 20th century, there are now
over 220,000 animals in the U.S.
The NBA website maintains that
the meat is higher in protein and
iron and lower in cholesterol and
fat than beef, appealing traits to
health conscious customers.
“What is enabling them to
grow again as a species is that
people are eating them,” said
Wildt. “The more that people
eat them the more they will be
farmed.”
The movement to buying
locally grown food is also a
growing trend, according to
Bernadette Barber and her
daughter Charlotte of Tall Trees
Farm in Nuttsville, where they
raise cattle and pigs. She said
livestock raised in commercial
feedlot operations, also called
concentrated animal feeding
operations (CAFO’s), is inhumane and unhealthy. Buying
locally can assure a customer
they are eating healthy, wellcared for animals.
“One reason we are moving
back to locally grown foods is
the dangers of feed lots,” said
Barber. “Their methods are cruel
and unsanitary. It’s all hidden.
They don’t want us to know how
bad they are for the environment
and the livestock. Those places
are like concentration camps for
animals.”
“Our animals are indirect
objects of our humanity,” said
Charlotte. “The way we treat
them reflects the way we are.”

Bay HealthStyles s &EBRUARY Adults urged to get vaccinations
against shingles and other diseases
by Tom Chillemi
A
dults need vaccinations too, said
Dr. William Nelson, acting health
director for the Three Rivers Health
District of the Virginia Department of
Health.
“A simple flu shot, shingles shot,
pneumonia shot and a tetanus booster
with the pertussis component will all
help protect you and your loved ones,”
said Dr. Nelson.
If you’re not familiar with shingles,
consider yourself lucky. One out of three
people in the United States will get shingles at some time in their life—about 1
million people a year, said Dr. Nelson.
The single-dose vaccine, Zostavax,
has been approved for only about 5
years and is recommended for persons
over 60 years of age, said Dr. Nelson. It
boosts the immune system and can cut
the chance of getting shingles by 50%.
Shingles is caused by the chickenpox
virus and anyone who has had chickenpox can get shingles, usually later in
life.
Dr. Nelson explained that when a
person gets chickenpox, usually as a
young person, the virus doesn’t actually
go away. The virus travels through a person’s nervous system and goes dormant
at the root of the nerve near the spinal
Anyone who has had chickenpox can get shingles—
usually later in life.
column—often for decades.
Unfortunately, it can reactivate
decades later as shingles. “This is often a
result of a decline in the person’s immunity due to illness, age or cancer chemotherapy,” said Dr. Nelson. “In most
cases, it’s a matter of naturally declining immunity to the chickenpox virus.”
Shingles erupts in painful blisters
where the nerve ends. This gives the
disease its characteristic pattern that is
often seen over an eye, or along a rib.
The blisters are usually very painful.
Although most people have only one
shingles episode, it can occur again.
Sometimes the pain persists for weeks,
months or years afterwards, a condition
known as post-herpetic neuralgia. Treatment is limited to pain relief.
Very painful
Robert “Captain Bob” Jensen, 83, of
Topping lost most of his vision in one eye
as a result of shingles, which he contracted
in 2004. “It felt like I was getting shots to
my head every hour for a week.”
Seven years later he is still living with
pain, which flares up when he is overactive.
“I would recommend getting the shingles
shot,” said Jensen. “You don’t want to go
through what I went through.”
Fortunately, people with shingles are
generally not contagious the same way
that children with chickenpox are.
However, since the chickenpox virus
may be in the fluid-filled blisters, a shingles patient can give chickenpox to someone who never had it, but they cannot give
anyone shingles. That only comes from
having a previous chickenpox infection.
People with shingles should be careful around premature or low-birth-weight
infants, pregnant women who have never
had chickenpox or who are not vaccinated,
and individuals with immune disorders or
who are on cancer chemotherapy. All of
these people can get seriously ill from a
case of chickenpox, which puts them at
risk for contracting shingles later.
Vaccination
The shingles vaccine is very
similar to the chickenpox vaccine, although it is more concentrated, said Dr. William
Nelson, acting health director of
the Three Rivers Health District
of the Virginia Department of
Health.
The shingles shot is recommended for persons age 60 and
up. One shot will boost your
immunity, and greatly decrease
your chance of getting shingles.
Medicare Part D usually pays
for the shingles shot. However,
you may have a co-pay, depending on your health insurance
plan.
Medicare Part B does not pay
for the shingles shot.
Check your health insurance
to see if it will pay part of the
cost of the shingles shot.
Several local pharmacies also
administer the shingles shot,
when they have it. The shot
costs about $185 when administered at an approved pharmacy.
Two area pharmacies said the
vaccine is on back order, but
another said it had an ample
supply.
It also can be given by your
doctor and insurance may pay a
portion.
Some health departments in
the Three Rivers Health District
currently have the vaccine. The
cost is $125.64 and no prescription is necessary if administered
at a health department. Call the
local public health nurse at your
health department.
Other vaccinations are a
good idea
Besides the shingles vaccine,
health officials recommend a
flu shot or vaccination every
year for all people over the age
of 6 months, said Dr. William
Nelson, acting health director
of the Three Rivers Health District of the Virginia Department
The shingles vaccination, recommended for those
60 years old and up, reduces the chances of getting it by more than 50 percent.
of Health.
Those over the age of 64
should get a pneumococcal vaccination, which protects from
certain kinds of pneumonia.
A tetanus, diphtheria, and
pertussis (Tdap) booster is also
recommended every 10 years.
Also, it is now recommended
that your next tetanus shot
include the pertussis (whooping cough) component. This
protects you against the whooping cough germ but more
importantly it helps protect the
babies and small children you
may come in contact with. “If
you are protected against the
whooping cough, children are
less likely to get this potentially fatal disease from you,”
said Dr. Nelson. “Grandparents
The progression of shingles
A cluster of small bumps (1), turns into blisters (2) that
resemble chickenpox lesions. The blisters fill with pus, break
open (3), crust over (4), and finally disappear. This process
takes four to five weeks. A painful condition called postherpetic neuralgia can sometimes occur. This condition is
thought to be caused by damage to the nerves (5) and can
last from weeks to years after the shingles rash disappears.
Source: Food and Drug Administration
County health departments can administer the
shingles vaccine without a doctor’s prescription.
The cost is $125 and insurance may cover part
of the cost. Citizens should call their local health
department to check vaccine availability:

Kitchen was a football and baseball star
at Concord College in West Virginia and
at Hopewell High School. “I’ve been in
sports all my life. I used to be a teacher and
coach and taught on the high school and

sports and it’s always been important to me
to keep in shape.”
“Bodybuilding is a great lifestyle,” he
said. “It cleanses your system. It’s not a

does involve (when competing) a high protein, low-carb diet.”
Kitchen lost 53 pounds to compete in
the Colonial Heights competition. “I went

More than half of American adults take multivitamins/
multi mineral (MVM) supplements in the belief that they will
feel better, have greater energy,
improve health, and prevent and
treat disease. There is consensus
(based on national and regional
studies) that the use of supplements has been steadily increasing and that growth is likely to
continue.
Use is higher among women
(and children of women who
use supplements), the elderly,
and those who have more education, higher income, healthier
lifestyles and diets, and lower
body mass index. Those persons
who have chronic illness or are
seeking to prevent recurrence of
a serious disease tend to be more
frequent users. Many dietary
supplement users perceive their
health as better.
Conversely, MVM use is
lower among smokers and certain ethnic and racial groups.
The irony is that those who are
more likely to have nutritional
inadequacy and who might benefit the most from MVM are the
least likely to use such products.
Calcium and Vitamin D are
safe and important members of
the (MVM) family. Calcium and
vitamin D are important for bone
health. Nerves, muscles, and
blood vessels need calcium to
work. Vitamin D helps the body
absorb calcium, and is needed for
immune system function. There
is some evidence that Vitamin D
helps to prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Calcium is found in foods.
Dairy products are good sources.
Fortified orange juice can provide
300mg per 8 oz serving. Vitamin
D is made by sun-exposed skin
and is found in some foods. One
of the best sources is salmon.
Many people are low on Vitamin D. It is hard to get enough
from food and most people don’t
get much sun exposure because
they use sunscreens and spend
many hours indoors.
Most calcium products contain
calcium carbonate or calcium
citrate and both work. Calcium
by Susan M. Sanders RPH
Pharmacist at
White Stone Pharmacy
Multivitamins,
Minerals,
and Supplements
carbonate is cheap and provides
the most calcium per dose. Calcium citrate may be better for
patients who don’t absorb calcium as well, like older people or
those on heartburn medication.
Calcium is best absorbed if no
more than 500mg to 600mg is
taken at one time.
Vitamin D is available over
the counter in combination
with calcium or by itself. There
are also high-dose vitamin D
products that are prescribed if
you have low vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D is available as either
D2 or D3, either can be used.
Look for vitamin supplements
that are USP verified as these
products must meet quality
standards.
Women under 50 years old and
men up to age 70 need 1000mg
of calcium daily. Women over 50
years old and men over 70 need
1200mg of calcium daily. The
vitamin D RDA (recommended
dietary allowance) has recently
been increased to 600 IU daily
for adults under age 70 and 800
IU daily for people over age 70
to keep bones strong. But most
experts recommend that adults
get 800 to 2000 IU of vitamin D
daily for optimal health benefits.
Adequate vitamin D intake
February 24, 2011 s
is important for infants and
children to prevent rickets and
other complications of vitamin
D deficiency. Per new guidelines
for vitamin D intake in infants
and children from the American
Academy of Pediatrics, children
who fall into any of the following categories should receive
daily supplementation of 400 IU
of vitamin D: (1) breastfed and
partially breastfed infants,(2) all
nonbreastfed infants and older
children who are ingesting less
than four cups of vitamin D-fortified milk a day, (3) adolescents
who do not obtain 400 IU of
vitamin D through fortified milk
and foods, and (4) children who
are at an increased risk because
of fat malabsorption and those
taking chronic antiseizure medications.
Calcium intake of more than
2500mg daily may increase the
risk of hypercalcemia and resulting renal impairment. Kidney
stones are associated with calcium intake of greater than 2150
mg daily in postmenopausal
women. Excess calcium can
impair absorption of iron, zinc,
magnesium, and phosphorus.
Vitamin D toxicity is rare.
Toxic levels are reached by
taking more than 50,000 IU daily
for several months in adults, or
10,000 IU daily for one month
in infants. Patients taking vitamin D supplements (including
weekly treatment doses) can
continue sensible sun exposure,
eating vitamin D foods, and
taking a multivitamin containing
vitamin D; toxicity is doubtful in
this scenario.
In conclusion, there is growing
evidence that vitamin D has lifelong health benefits. In adults,
preliminary information suggests
that vitamin D may be beneficial
in the prevention of autoimmune
diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma,
and type 1 diabetes. There is also
increasing evidence in adults that
vitamin D deficiency may be a
risk factor for the development
of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and
cardiovascular disease.
Profile
Pediatrician
by Larry S. Chowning
Throughout most of the medical history
of the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula, doctors have been men, and children
and adults alike have been treated by the
same doctor—a general practitioner.
Dr. Karen Ransone is a trendsetter. She
is one of the first female doctors to work
in Middlesex County, and specializes in
pediatrics at Riverside Fishing Bay Family
Practice in Deltaville. Dr. Ransone treats
the children of Middlesex and surrounding counties with sound medical advice
along with love and affection.
A graduate of The Medical College of
Virginia, Dr. Ransone graduated from
MCV in 1992 and did a three-year residency there. Originally from Virginia
Beach, she now lives at Cobbs Creek in
Mathews County with her family.
“I can look out my window and see
Middlesex,” she said. “If they ever take
the bridge (across the Piankatank) down,
I can get to work by kayak.
“I enjoy being a doctor,” continued Dr.
Ransone. “I enjoy learning and I think
a good doctor never stops learning. I’ve
been in the Middlesex practice for 16
years and I’ve enjoyed being in beautiful
downtown Deltaville.”
When asked about tips to help parents
provide a healthy life for their children,
she emphasized that parents should make
sure their children are properly vaccinated. Children need annual flu shots
and all other shots recommended by their
physician.
Dr. Ransone said children need the following every day: five servings of fruit and
vegetables; four glasses of water; three
servings of low- or no-fat dairy products;
no more than two hours a day of screen
time (computers, video games, television
and any kind of electronics); one hour of
exercise; and no sugary drinks. “Children
need to drink sugar-free beverages,” she
said emphatically.
“I enjoy children and I think the one
thing that parents worry too much about
is a fever,” she said. “Actually, fevers are
not always a bad thing. It’s the body’s
response to fighting off illness.”
“The most important thing is love,”
said Dr. Ransone. “A child’s emotional
health is tied to the love and understanding they receive at home.”
Dr. Ransone is the wife of Dr. Sterling
Ransone, who also works at Riverside
Fishing Bay Family Practice. They have
three children: Elizabeth, 14, who is currently working in Richmond as a page at
the Virginia General Assembly; Katherine, 13, an 8th-grader at Ware Academy
in Gloucester; and Scooter, 11, a 6thgrader at Thomas Hunter Middle School
in Mathews.

ost of us can’t imagine life without our
pets.
Who doesn’t love to see a tail at full-throttle
as we open the door—that unabashed greeting
our dogs give us whether we were gone a week
or a minute? Or those big brown eyes gazing up
with complete adoration and devotion even on
our grumpiest days?
It’s a fact that pets, especially dogs, offer their
“people” many health benefits. Now scientists say
M
they may help us even more than once thought—
they trigger our “feel good” hormones.
Numerous studies have shown that dogs can
help lower blood pressure, ease the loneliness of
the elderly in nursing homes and help children
overcome allergies. But a study by Missouri
University’s College of Veterinary Medicine
suggests hormonal changes occur when humans
and dogs interact.
They discovered a few minutes of stroking
pets not only triggers “feel good” hormones like

serotonin, it results in decreased levels of the
primary stress hormone cortisol, which alleviates depression and certain stress disorders.
While researchers don’t advise people to throw
away their medication and get a pet, they believe
animal therapy could be used as an adjunct to
treatment.
The notion that pets could influence people’s
hormone levels is a very powerful thing, said
the head of the study, Dr. Rebecca Johnson.
She wondered if our pets could really mediate
hormone levels to the point of benefiting people
under emotional stress.
“I see it every single day. Every single day,”
said Dr. Adine Jones, veterinarian at Countryside Animal Hospital in Saluda. “There has

Therapy for the elderly
It’s not just dogs that are being studied for their therapeutic power. A study
from Purdue University found people with
Alzheimer’s disease often suffer from
weight-loss problems because they can’t
focus long enough to eat. But when they are
seated in front of aquariums with brightly
colored fish, patients were able to pay attention long enough to eat their meals.
When Sue Ann Bangle of Lancaster
takes her therapy dog, Little Girl, to visit
the elderly in assisted living facilities, she
sees the power of comfort and companionship they bring to people suffering from
depression and loss. She remembers one
patient in her 90s who was deeply depressed
because she’d just lost her brother. The
woman sat quietly for an hour stroking the
dog. Little Girl stayed at her side offering
constant comfort to ease her pain.
When there is a dog in the house, seniors
are more likely to take a stroll through their
neighborhood, walking Fido on a leash and
getting the exercise needed to stay healthy
and strong. As a faithful companion, dogs
also bring a sense of security because

mixed breeds. Puppies, like babies, can be
overwhelming for the elderly. Shelters and
rescue groups are happy to discuss each
animal’s requirements.
Kids and pets
If there are no dogs in
Heaven, then when I die
I want to go where they
went.
–Will Rogers
Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no
questions, they pass no
criticisms.
–George Eliot
One therapy dog program that is as
popular with the dogs as it is with kids, is
the read-a-book-to-a-dog program. Kindergartners and first graders at Lancaster
Primary School read to pooches every
Friday morning. LPS bookkeeper, Melanie
Hathaway, says it encourages youngsters
and gives them confidence because the
dogs don’t pass judgement if the kids make
a mistake.
The dogs’ enthusiasm is as apparent as
the kids’. German shepherd, Annabelle,
could hardly wait to get out of the car and
into the school to visit ‘her’ kids.
Date magnets
Dog lovers will not be surprised to hear
their sense of smell, hearing and eyesight that studies also prove walking a dog conis much more efficient and more alert to tributes to a person’s weight loss. As walking companions, they can help improve our
intruders than humans.
However, experts warn to pick your pet sense of well-being and be a catalyst for
wisely. Size, temperament, and grooming social interaction with other people that
should all be factors to consider. Also, can lead to new friendships—and maybe
don’t overlook adopting an older pet and even a love connection.

It is important to be a member of a fitness
center like the Y! I shoot for 5 workouts a week,
elliptical training, treadmill, and some weights.
I am always happy if I get in a minimum of 3
workouts. Along with that, I try to eat healthy
and stay away from soft drinks, white breads and
sugar. I am careful to never diet but to try to make
lifestyle changes that I can live with. I do treat
myself once a week to eat anything I want, dessert
included! I am in better shape than I have been in
years and I feel better everyday!

Besides a regular cardio workout,
my favorite way to not only burn
calories but to preserve mental health
is riding my thoroughbred horse, Trace.
Walk, trot, and canter on a horse takes
not only skill, but perservance if one
is to ride well and correctly. Riding
for me has been a learning experience,
not just in exercise and staying fit, but
in relieving stress by caring for and
caring about another living creature.
My horse has been imperative for my
physical and mental health, and I’ll be
riding for as long as I am able.

How do I stay healthy, wealthy and wise over here in Urbanna? Simple. I have
dogs! My two beloved Golden Retrievers that watch over me in my home are “Lady”
and her son, the puppy “Lord.” I couldn’t live without them! Actually dogs deliver
an even more important ingredient in life....HAPPINESS. There is never a dark day
with a dog in your arms!
Dogs come in all colors, sizes and breeds but keep in mind that every dog in
this world is truly what I call a “furry angel...” that is a special agent sent down
from the heavens above to take care of some lucky human being! Only good things
happen to those who love a dog! Don’t believe me? Adopt a dog and see what
happens. You may start out taking care of your dog but in no time at all...guess
what? the dog is taking care of you! You will never be more loved and adored in
this world than you are by a dear dog.
Want to feel even happier, healthier, wealthier and wiser? That’s easy! Get two
dogs! And have a wonderful life times two!

I don’t enjoy most forms of exercise, so I don’t
stick with them. Find something you enjoy doing
and find a way to make it active. Call it, “activity,”
instead of, “exercise,” and you will find ways to
make it fun.
Change your activity weekly to avoid getting
bored or burnt out. I do some form of activity every
morning, even if I only have the strength to walk in
place for five minutes or do 20 jumping jacks. This
has kept me free from illness and injury through the
entire year!

I am pleased to pass on this bit of information on health which was given me a few years
ago. It involves cleaning,(irrigating) your sinus’ with a saline solution. You mix a premeasured packet of pharmaceutical grade salt with warm water into a little pitcher like device
called a NettiPot. There are excellent directions in the package with the pitcher, which is
available from local drug stores. It’s a bit tricky, but one quickly learns how to hold your head
to get the water into your sinus. It drains away the sources of infection that we breathe every
day and it does not hurt at all. Since I have been using this, two years now, I have not had
one single sore throat, cold or sinus infection. No bronchitis either.

Our family has enjoyed
salads for years but it wasn’t
until we switched to organic
products that we noticed
the benefits of eating fruits
and vegetables that are
free of pesticides and other
toxic chemicals. Recently, we
added juicing to our daily
routine and have adopted
the Raw Foods Diet and
are amazed at the overall
improvement of our health,
not to mention the extra
energy that comes with it.

How do I stay healthy:
H—Heart. I take one low dose
aspirin per day recommended by
my doctors.
E—Eat a little bit of everything,
but not too much of anything.
A—Activity. Stay on the move.
Do housework, yard work and
attend the Senior Center. Walk,
laugh, dance and play cards.
L—Love God, family, friends,
foes and pets.
T—Think positive. Focus on
upbeat things.
H—Humble yourself. Live peacefully.
Y—Yawn yodel, yell. Let off
pent-up emotions.
Early to bed, early to rise will
make you healthy, wealthy and
wise.

I would like to share some healthy lifestyle practices that have worked well for me. While we all hear
general guidance from various sources that a healthy lifestyle involves both exercise and diet. The biggest
obstacle, in my opinion, that hinders us from being fit and happy, is moderation and consistency - moderation in exercise and diet and consistency in exercise and diet.
I began a running program in June 2010. I have participated in training and exercise programs before.
They were typically for short durations in order to achieve a goal. Once that goal was achieved, I returned
to old diet habits and a sporadic exercise regimen. However, since last June, I have managed, through some
effort, to remain on a consistent running schedule and I can honestly say that it has helped me feel better,
physically and mentally. Being more fit, has positively affected all aspects of my life, including my energy
level, ability to accomplish physical tasks such as yard work without worrying about injury or spending time
recovering from “overdoing it” on some random weekend. The other benefit a consistent exercise program
brings is the ability to deviate, once in a while from a strict, disciplined diet. The occasional cheeseburger,
or rich dessert is much less likely to negatively impact your body when you exercise regularly. This is where
moderation enters into the equation: exercise does not provide justification for taking in more calories than
you’re expending through exercise. Through moderation and consistency, I am able to maintain my weight,
enjoy an active lifestyle, and feel emotionally motivated to field the curve balls that life throws my way.
