K andy Frame has given her life to child services with the goal of giving back to the community and helping children in need. Kandy has spent 24 years working for Christian Children’s Home of Ohio, a

place for children who can not maintain a stable home environment. The children brought into the program are treated for domestic trauma by nurturing people like Kandy.

The fi rst time Kandy and her husband volunteered for a children’s home was at the county run Receiving Home in Ashland County. Kandy’s husband grew up in the Receiving Home and the couple had an urge to give back. They ended up acting as relief parents for the couple who had helped to raise Kandy’s husband. As relief parents, Kandy and her husband would go into the home when the house (full time) parents needed a break. When the house parents wished to retire, Kandy and her family took on the position full time. Kandy’s own children were ten and seven at the time and were raised right along side the foster children.

After 18 months spent at a home in Cincinnati, Kandy’s family moved to the Christian Children’s Home of Ohio (CCHO) in Wooster. Operating as house parents, Kandy and her family lived and worked with the children, acting as house parents, role models and being stable fi gures in the lives of the adolescence.

Kandy also completed all the grocery shopping for the cottages associated with CCHO. In total there are six large homes, referred to by the staff as cottages. Kandy would plan all the meals for a 52 week period, complying

with nutrition regulations and proper serving sizes. She would also rotate the menus so the labor was never a fast fi x. Then Kandy would go to Walmart and buy the food, sometimes pushing eight shopping carts around the store. The employees got to know Kandy and through her the CCHO organization; her actions drove several Walmart employees to volunteer their time with the organization.

During her time as a house parent, Kandy took care of over 1500 children. Her duties included cooking for all the children within her home, and helping the children through daily interactions. But Kandy doesn’t stop at the required activities. She keeps track of each child’s birthday, whether they are in her home or another cottage. When a child’s birthday comes around Kandy will fi nd out what kind of cake they would like, including what decorations should be on top. She has made cakes with Hello Kitty, a basketball traveling through a hoop, whatever the child wishes, Kandy does her best to create.

For most people Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family members, but for many of the children at Christian Children’s Home it highlights what they don’t have. While a house parent, Kandy went out of her way to make sure that all her past and present residents know they have a place to spend Thanksgiving by providing one at her own expense. On average Kandy would make four turkeys, two hams, 22 pies, and all the holiday fi xings for between 75 and 100 past & present residents.

Dawning hand-made suits, Kandy and her family celebrate Christmas by dressing up as Santa and his elves for children’s homes. Mrs. and Mr. Claus, played by Kandy and her husband, accompanied by their grandchildren, the elves, bring Christmas gifts and personalized stockings for children in group homes such as Children’s Home foster care. Kandy and her family work hard to give the children a Christmas to remember. “We are just doing what we are called to do.”

Kandy explained.Today, the CCHO has restructured their program

and no longer support full time house parents. Kandy mentioned that fi nding couples to live in the homes for a long period of time was becoming increasingly diffi cult so the organization was moved to a shift schedule. Food is now delivered to the grounds, eliminating the laborious trips to the grocery store. The new system has done nothing to decrease Kandy and her family’s involvement with the CCHO. No longer a house parent, Kandy still creates the menus, orders and divides the food out to each cottage.

A member of Parkview Christian Church, Kandy also volunteers for a couple of their programs. One program is a ladies group that provides mentorship for young mothers. The group is composed of older woman who have child rearing experience that give advice to the young mothers and offer support.

Kandy’s selfl essness and that of her husband has been cultivated in their own children and grandchildren. Now grown, Kandy’s daughter and son work with children through teaching and athletics. Kandy believes that the environment her children grew up in has led them to positions that help further the lives of children. The fi ve grandchildren help out at the CCHO, reenforcing the idea that the value of being kind to others is something that can be learned at any age.

Diet, exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are essential elements of a healthy lifestyle. Adapting to a new diet and

embracing a new exercise regimen requires a strong commitment, but so, too, does maintaining a healthy weight once those pounds have been shed.

Losing weight can be diffi cult, and many people who set out to shed a few extra pounds encounter a handful of common obstacles along the way. These roadblocks do not disappear once weight has been lost, which only highlights the long-term approach men and women must take as they look to lose weight and keep pounds off for the long haul. The following are a handful of obstacles men and women may face as they look to lose weight and keep weight off for years to come.

SNACKSSnacking is perhaps the biggest obstacle to weight

loss many men and women will face. Choosing the wrong snacks can compromise your efforts to lose weight, but the right snacks can provide energy boosts without negatively impacting your waistline. Rather than high-calorie snacks that offer little nutritional value, choose low-calorie alternatives. For example, instead of fried tortilla chips, opt for reduced-sodium baked chips instead. In lieu of ice cream on a warm afternoon, choose low-fat yogurt, which can be just as refreshing without all those empty calories.

RESTAURANTSDining out is another potential obstacle for men

and women trying to lose weight. Avoid buffet-style restaurants or those establishments you know

serve especially large portions. When dining out, ask to swap high-calorie side dishes with vegetables when possible, and choose nutritional, low-calorie entrées that won’t compromise the hard work you put in all week eating at home.

BUSY SCHEDULESOne common obstacle that compromises even

the most dedicated weight loss efforts is a hectic schedule. Commitments to career and family can make it easy to veer off course with regard to diet. Planning is often an effective way to overcome a hectic schedule. Plan meals in advance so you are not tempted to order takeout or delivery after a long day at the offi ce. Use weekends to schedule and plan your weeknight meals, preparing meals in advance when possible and using a slow cooker so your meals are cooking while you’re at the offi ce and ready to eat the moment you arrive home at night.

SETBACKSSetbacks are another common obstacle that can

threaten weight loss goals. Everyone experiences a setback or two as they attempt to lose weight and keep that weight off. Don’t allow such setbacks to derail your weight loss efforts, and don’t beat yourself up when a setback occurs. Respond by rededicating yourself to your weight loss efforts, and before you know it, you will be back on track.

Men and women can expect to face some common obstacles as they attempt to lose weight. Anticipating those obstacles is a great way to ensure they don’t derail your weight loss efforts.

The presence of mold in a home is a sight few homeowners want to see. In addition to being unsightly, mold found in a home can be unhealthy.

While certain cleaners may prove effective at removing mold, homeowners who want to remove existing mold growths and prevent future growths may benefi t from gaining a greater understanding of mold and why it grows inside homes.

WHAT IS MOLD?Mold is a blanket term used to describe fungi that

can be found both indoors and outdoors. Many species of mold exist, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that some estimates suggest there may be more than three hundred thousand different species of mold. Common indoor molds include cladosporium, penicillium, alternaria, and aspergillus.

WHICH CONDITIONS PROMOTE MOLD GROWTH?

Homeowners may notice that mold tends to grow in specifi c areas of their homes but not in others, and that’s because molds grow best in certain conditions. Warm, damp and humid conditions, such as those found in poorly ventilated bathrooms and basements, make ideal breeding grounds for mold.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF MOLD EXPOSURE?

Molds are a natural and resilient part of the environment, but mold growth indoors should be addressed and avoided. Mold spores are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, and when these spores attach to wet surfaces, they begin to grow. Once these spores begin to grow, they can then affect people in various ways. Roughly a decade ago, the

The Potentially Harmful Effects of Mold in your Home

Institute of Medicine found suffi cient evidence to support a link between exposure to indoor mold and respiratory tract issues, such as coughing and wheezing in people who were otherwise healthy. The same report found that mold may trigger asthma symptoms among people with asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a disease in which the lungs are infl amed when a person breathes in certain dusts he or she is allergic to, in people susceptible to that condition.

Some people who do not have a preexisting condition can still be sensitive to molds. When exposed to mold, such people may experience symptoms like nasal stuffi ness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation.

HOW CAN EXPOSURE TO MOLD BE DECREASED AT HOME?

Adequate ventilation is arguably homeowners’ best friend with regard to reducing mold exposure at home. Control humidity levels in areas of the home that tend to be warm and humid, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Install an exhaust fan in the kitchen and bathroom and a window in the bathroom if yours does not already have one.The CDC recommends that humidity levels be no higher than 50 percent throughout the day, and an air conditioner and dehumidifi er can help you keep indoor humidity levels in check, especially during the summer when humidity levels tend to be their highest of any time during the year.

When renovating your home, remove any existing carpeting from bathrooms and basements and toss out soaked carpets or upholstery as well. If painting will be part of your home renovation projects, add mold inhibitors to paints prior to application Mold that grows inside a home is unsightly and potentially unhealthy. But concerned homeowners can take several reactive and proactive steps to reduce existing mold growths and prevent them from returning in the future.

Make the Most of

“Dinner and a

Movie”

The “perfect date night” differs depending on the couple. Some couples might prefer a night on the town during

which they get dolled up and visit a fi ve-star restaurant, while others might fi nd a laid back night at home makes for the ideal night for two.

Dinner and a movie has long been a go-to for couples who prefer something short of a fancy night out but more extravagant than a relaxing night at home. While making plans to dine out and catch a movie is not complicated, there are some things couples can do to make sure such nights go off without a hitch.

• Make a dinner reservation. If you’re going out on a Friday or Saturday night, be sure to make a dinner reservation in advance.

HerSide 13

“Life is not

measured by the

number of breaths

we take, but by the

moments that take

our breath away.”

-Maya Angelou

Chances are strong other couples have similar plans, and you don’t want to miss the movie because you were stuck waiting for a table at the restaurant. Dinner and a movie nights tend to be impromptu, but make a reservation a few nights in advance if you’re planning on going out on a popular date night.

• Leave ample time between dinner and the start of the movie. No one wants to rush through a meal, especially couples who may not get too many chances to dine out and enjoy each other’s conversation. If your movie begins at 9 p.m., make a dinner reservation for 6 or 6:30 so you have ample time to eat, enjoy each other’s company and make it to the theater on time. If you’re planning on seeing a highly anticipated movie on its opening weekend, be sure to leave enough time between dinner and the start time of the movie so you can get to the theater early enough to get good seats.

• Buy your movie tickets in advance. Much like you want to make a dinner reservation so you can get a table, you also want to buy your tickets in advance so you aren’t shut out if the theater sells out. If you’re worried about committing to the movie too far in advance and want to wait to buy tickets, choose a fallback movie to see just in case the film you were hoping to see sells out before you can buy tickets.

• Know the addresses of nearby theaters and show times. Many a couple has arrived at a movie theater only to find the movie thay planned to see is sold out. Oftentimes, such letdowns can be remedied by driving to another theater nearby that is showing the movie at a slightly later time than the initial theater the couple visited. Know your movie schedules and theater addresses so you have options should your movie be sold out. Download an app like Fandango on your phone so you don’t waste precious time trying to find show times and addresses on the Internet.

Dinner and a movie is a staple for couples’ date nights, and there are some tricks of the trade couples can employ to ensure their next date night is memorable for all the right reasons.

With winter on the horizon, homeowners who live in locales with harsh winters are preparing their homes for a season

spent largely indoors. Unlike the other seasons of the year, when homeowners can comfortably air out their homes by opening windows, winter offers no such opportunities to let nature improve indoor air quality.

Such a reality can make a home uncomfortable as winter drags on. But that discomfort pales in comparison to the health risks presented by poor indoor air quality. Radon, volatile chemicals from fragrances used in conventional cleaners and lead from house dust are just a few of the many sources of indoor air pollution commonly found in homes, and these pollutants can be especially harmful in winter, when many people spend more time indoors thanks to harsh weather. But while you might not be able to change the weather so you can open windows in the wintertime, you can take steps to improve indoor air quality in your home.

* Clean the floors regularly. Dirty floors take their toll on a home’s indoor air quality. Dust that’s allowed to settle on floors may contain harmful chemicals and allergens that can lead to respiratory problems and additional uncomfortable health conditions. Clean your floors at least once per week during the winter months, ideally with a vacuum that’s equipped with a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is important because it can prevent dust and dirt from being blown back out of the vacuum in the exhaust. After you have vacuumed, mop the floors as well, as even the most effective vacuums leave potentially harmful dust particles behind. A once-over with a mop and some hot water can remove any lingering dust left behind by the vacuum.

* Place a floor mat near every entrance. Winter is a messy season, and it’s easy to bring in the great outdoors when you enter your home during cold

weather seasons. Dirt that sticks to your shoes may contain potentially harmful chemicals, so place a floor mat near any door where people routinely enter your home and politely ask that all who enter wipe off and remove their shoes before moving about the house.

* Dehumidify your home. Mold and dust mites thrive on moisture, so homeowners concerned about the moisture in their homes during the winter months can purchase a dehumidifier to control allergens and reduce moisture in the air. In addition to using a dehumidifier, you can control humidity in your home by using an exhaust fan when cooking, addressing leaky plumbing fixtures to prevent mold growth and making sure your clothes dryer is vented to the outside of your home.

* Choose naturally scented laundry products. Everyone wants their freshly cleaned clothes to smell good, but the price you pay when using laundry products that employ synthetic fragrances may be far more steep than you realize. Such synthetic fragrances emit dozens of chemicals into the air, so choose naturally scented detergents, fabric softeners and dryer sheets when possible.

* Avoid plug-in air fresheners. Unless otherwise noted on the packaging, plug-in air fresheners likely contain volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which contain a variety of chemicals that can negatively impact both short- and long-term health. Instead of plugging in an air freshener to improve a home’s interior aroma, slice fresh lemons and leave them out in the kitchen and keep fresh indoor plants in living areas. Studies from NASA have shown that indoor plants naturally purify indoor air by absorbing materials released by synthetic materials.

As winter gets set to return, homeowners can employ several simple strategies to improve indoor air quality in their homes.

How to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Your Home

28

HerSide 27

Indoor air quality is not often an issue in the warmer months, when many homeowners open their windows to let the fresh air of the

great outdoors enter their homes in abundance. But once the temperatures begin to dip and windows start to close, indoor air quality can suffer. Musty air is not only uncomfortable, it’s also unhealthy.

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, can build up inside a home, especially when windows are kept shut for long stretches of time, which is often the case in winter. Indoor plants can counter such stale air, in some cases fi ltering out VOCs to make the air inside a home more breathable and healthy. The following are a handful of houseplants that can improve indoor air quality.

* ALOE: Many of us know aloe for its restorative properties with regard to treating burns and cuts, but aloe also improves indoor air quality by helping to clear a home of the byproducts, including formaldehyde, of chemical-based household cleaners. Aloe loves the sun, so if you hope to keep an aloe plant healthy through the winter, be sure to place the plant in a window that gets lots of sun exposure throughout the day.

* GERBER DAISY: Like aloe, a gerber daisy needs ample sunlight, and tends to only withstand winters in warmer climates. But homeowners who live in such climates may still keep their windows closed in winter, and those that do can use these colorful, low-maintenance fl owers to remove trichloroethylene, a chemical that clothes may be exposed to during the dry cleaning process.

* GOLDEN POTHOS: The golden pothos can survive a winter, but homeowners should be careful not to let the plant dry out, which can happen if they are directly exposed to sunlight. A golden pothos vine will grow quickly, so a hanging basket is a great way to keep one inside a home, where the plant can help fi ght formaldehyde.

* FICUS BENJAMINA: Also known as a weeping fi g, the fi cus benjamina can be diffi cult

to overwinter. But that does not mean your fi cus benjamina, which can fi lter pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from a home, won’t make it through the winter. You just need to fi gure out the right watering and light conditions for the plant. Such conditions can be discussed with a gardening professional.

* WARNECK DRACAENA: The warneck dracaena, or dracaena deremensis, fi ghts pollutants created by varnishes and oils. The warneck dracaena is a sturdy houseplant that is diffi cult to kill, but it still thrives in temperatures that are between 70 F and 80 F.

"Everyone has the right to lead an abuse free life

and to be safe in their own environment.”

This belief statement is proudly published by the staff of Every Woman’s House who strive to increase the percentage of healthy, peaceful families within Wayne and Holmes Counties.

In 1978, a group of local women started a program that would assist women from the community who were in a crisis situation. The group agreed there were too few resources available to women who found it necessary to re-establish their lives. There was inconsistent support for women trying to build an independent life through legal and financial means; crucial needs when fleeing an abusive relationship.

This group began assisting women in crisis, focusing on battered women and rape victims. Volunteers completed organizational planning, committee work, provided shelter, and educated the community on the needs of women in crisis.

A grant was received later that same year, allowing them to hire a part-time director and establish Every Woman’s House. The non-profit organization has been recognized by social service and law enforcement agencies in Wayne and Holmes Counties for their work with domestic violence victims.

Every Woman’s House was able to expand their capabilities as funding and community support increased. Their services stretched to include crisis intervention, a 24-hour hotline, counseling, support groups, and victim advocacy. A member in the community offered an 11 room house for the purpose of providing short-term shelter for women and children trying to escape violent home lives. The house allowed Every Woman’s House to accommodate 14 people, or four women and their children.

Today the non-profit is incorporated with STEPS at Liberty Center Connections and offers 12 rooms, a total of 42 beds to women and their children escaping violent home lives.

Open 24/7, the staff of Every Woman’s House walk women through the process of leaving an abusive situation behind from the moment of first contact to building a new future. The first

contact within the shelter is one of the two Victim Advocates; their role encompasses the initial stages of leaving an abusive situation.

This person will gather basic information about what is happening, the free process can be completed over the phone and will be kept anonymous.

The person on the phone is willing to listen to the problem, offer advice and lend as much support as the victim is willing to take.

The most dangerous time for someone trying to leave an abusive relationship is the departure. Abusers feed off the negative attention they give to their victims

and don’t want to relinquish their hold; often resulting in desperate actions and trauma inducing events. Victim Advocates will help plan the process of leaving through the

creation of a safe exist plan. This involves providing answers to legal questions, often in regards to bank accounts and what they should take with them. Aiding the victim in getting a protection order from the abuser as well as accompanying a woman to court, the Victim Advocate provides a beacon of stability and support through their presence.

If the woman is willing to leave the abuser they can temporarily stay in one of the

rooms at the center. Each family, victims who enter the shelter with children, will have their own room. “We don’t burden with unnecessary rule...we work with victims to promote a home like environment” says shelter manager Andy Ford. Even with all the security, the shelter feels like a home because of the way it has been set up. The shelter comes complete with a cozy living room, beautiful kitchen in which mothers can cook for their children and a playground and toy room for the children.

The length of occupancy is reliant on the housing market, but the average stay is 46 days. The condition of the victims and their children can also lengthen the shelter period.

Withholding child supportDestroying property

Sabotaging work or school

Victims are given short term rental assistance as well as referrals to other housing.

With three counselors, Every Woman’s House offers counseling to women, children and men who have been victims of abusers in events of domestic violence. Victims are given counseling and often referred to support groups where they will be free to converse with people undergoing the same experiences. Children of the victims who may be victims themselves can also enter counseling. The abuser is often enrolled in grouped therapy as well and if it is safe and desired couple/ family counseling sessions may occur.

Every Woman’s House believes that domestic violence is a community issue. Victims do not always report domestic violence as they don’t think they will be believed or they feel tied to the abuser due to fi nancial, emotional or physiological issues. Law enforcement cannot intervene without probable cause. If they are called for a domestic disturbance and the bruises haven’t surfaced and no one is talking, the offi cers are unable to help the victim. Speaking up about repeated bruising on a coworker or a friend could get them the help they need.

Standing fi rmly downtown, Every Woman’s House is a beacon of hope in the fi ght against domestic violence. They have received funding from state and federal grants and the United Way. Extending their reach beyond domestic violence, Every Woman’s House also has a homeless shelter that offers fl exible stays and assists those in need of stable housing. Every Woman’s House believes in building healthy peaceful families and communities.

Giving eco-friendly gifts is now easier than ever before. As more and more people are conscious of reducing their impact on the

planet, the demand for environmentally conscious products and services has grown.

Choosing earth-friendly gifts is not only generous, but gift-givers also can rest assured they’re doing their part to safeguard natural resources for future generations. The following are some gift ideas for the eco-conscious people on your holiday shopping list.

LOCALLY MADE PRODUCTSLocally made products make great holiday gifts.

Such gifts are not produced halfway around the world, meaning they don’t contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming like products that need to be fl own or driven across the globe. Craft fairs and artisan shops are good sources for locally made gifts, which also are a great way to support businesses in your community.

GIFTS OF SERVICEA massage or music or tutoring sessions are

examples of gifts of service. These gifts do not require much use of natural resources, and recipients fi nd their personal nature very thoughtful. Gifts of service also can include tasks you do yourself for the gift recipient, rather than paying another person to handle. For example, teach a senior member of your family how to navigate their new smartphone or agree to help them shop for groceries.

RECYCLED GOODSWhen many people think of recycling, they tend

to picture piles of discarded plastic bottles, glass jars and aluminum cans. While the end product of many of these recycled pieces is new cans, bottles and jars, recycled materials also can be turned into new and unique pieces. Trivets and spoon rests made from recycled and melted wine bottles make for clever and attractive gifts. Recycled fi re extinguishers have been turned into vases, and you can even fi nd bike parts that have been used to make wind chimes and belts if you know where to shop.

NATURAL GIFTSNatural gifts are among the most environmentally

friendly ones you can give. Foodies may appreciate an herb-growing kit that enables them to experiment with freshly picked basil or thyme in the kitchen, while tree-growing kits and fl ower seed packets are nice stocking stuffers for budding gardeners. Offer to purchase a living Christmas tree for a relative, so that he or she can plant the evergreen after the holidays have come and gone.

ANTIQUESNew, shiny gifts are not the only ones that have

appeal. Gifting a sentimental piece of family history is an earth-friendly way to share the holidays. Pass down a cherished piece of jewelry or, if you do not have anything in your own collection, browse antique shops for items that have interesting histories.

The holiday season is often a time of excess, but giving doesn’t have to be detrimental to the environment. Givers can seek out earth-friendly gifts and share even more this time of year.
