That has been the question on everybody’s mind the past several weeks. The dreary skies have really put a damper on some of our summer activities, especially if they involve anything outdoors.

If the weather ever does decide to turn around in our favor, consider dusting of the seat of your favorite bike and hitting some of the local trails. Chances are you live closer to one than you think and with trail construction well on it’s way, in the not-so-distant future, Wayne County residents may find themselves no more than 15 miles away from the closest trail.

Another great adventure for a bright sunny day could be a trip to Ravenna, Ohio. Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary is a place where abused and neglected farm animals are rescued and cared for. Annette Fisher and her team have big hearts and work to educate the public on proper animal care and handling. It really is an interesting operation and worth a visit.

Patient care is their number one priority at Smithville Western Commons in Wooster – a member of the Sprenger Health Care Systems’ family. Since it’s opening in 1997, Smithville Western has been dedicated to the community and it’s residents. With a variety of patient-centered services and community events, it is worth a visit to the facility if you are a loved one is thinking about long-term (or short-term) care.

As we all look forward to bright, blue skies ahead, be sure to check out our calendar of events for upcoming activities to partake in throughout the community. Sample the fine foods of downtown Wooster and enjoy the sounds of street musicians during the downtown event. “Taste of Downtown Wooster.” There is always plenty to get out and discover in our community – if it ever stops raining!

When it comes to your health, it’s not the time to test your luck. Taking proactive steps to limit your risk and help prevent disease is a better bet

for overall wellness.From heart disease and high blood pressure to diabetes and high cholesterol, there are dozens of diseases and health problems that can slow you down. Fortunately, research has shown that the risk for many of these health problems can be reduced through healthy lifestyle habits. What’s more, some of these medical issues can also be effectively managed so you can continue to enjoy all that life has to offer. The key is to understand your risk and take action early.These three steps are the foundation for building a healthier you:

1. REFUEL THE RIGHT WAY. During warmer weather seasons, cravings tend toward lighter, less dense foods, and dishes that are cool and refreshing. Summer is the perfect time to nosh on nutrient- and vitamin-rich foods straight from the garden. Crunchy fresh veggies, plump berries and even juicy melons all offer a delicious array of vitamins and antioxidants that do your body good. You may be surprised by all the palate-pleasing ways you can find to enjoy a healthier diet, from a crisp salad drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette dressing to an icy cold smoothie made from your favorite fruits. And don’t forget to reward yourself with a taste of dark chocolate indulgence. Research suggests that flavanol-rich cocoa beans (the

main ingredient for chocolate) can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

2. INVIGORATE WITH EXERCISE. If getting started on a new get-moving routine seems overwhelming, remember that it’s perfectly okay to ease into a new workout regime. In fact, it’s better to start slow and build up your endurance so you don’t burn out mentally and physically. The American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity at least five days a week. If you need to, start out by splitting up your sessions into two 15-minute workouts and bump up your time and intensity as your stamina increases.

3. IDENTIFY OBSTACLES EARLY. Get a jump on disease by getting appropriate screenings so you are informed and know your risk factors. A recent study published in the American Heart Association’s journal underscores the importance of early detection. The study, which included men and women in their 40s and 50s, revealed that 63 percent of participants had evidence of clogged arteries – despite having no known symptoms. Preventive health screenings, such as those provided by Life Line Screening, are designed by doctors and administered by trained professionals to help detect hidden health issues. Risk factors including family history, age or pre-existing health conditions determine the medical screenings right for you, and within a couple of weeks, you can receive easy-to-understand test results to share with your doctor so you can work together to prevent serious problems before they start.

Story by CATIE NOYESNOW & THEN EDITOR

Sprenger Health Care Systems is a third generation, family owned and operated company started in 1959. With ten health care facilities – nine located

across Northeast Ohio and one in Indiana – Sprenger has become a well-known provider of quality care and skilled nursing.

The Smithville Western facility became a part of Sprenger Health Care Systems in 1997. The facility offers orthopedic and short-term rehabilitation, 24-hour skilled nursing care, alzheimer’s/dementia care, long-term care, independent and assisted living, Sprenger Hospice and Sprenger Home Health.

Whether your health requires a short-term stay or long-term, Smithville Western provides all the same basic ammenities: 24-hour nursing care, room and board including a flat screen TV, bedside phone and private bathrooms, scheduled transportation, activities and live entertainment, social services, housekeeping and linens, laundry services, Wifi and computer access, Chaplin services and barber and salon services.

“We are able to offer outstanding service because we have outstanding employees. They put our residents first,” said Tonya Santos, LNHA, Administrator for Smithville Western Commons.

We are patient centered. Everything we do is

individualized for each resident, said Suzanne Boyer, Corporate Case Manager,

Sprenger Health Care Systems.

Sprenger Case Managers are available to assist any new patients making the transition to assisted living. Case managers will evaluate each residents individual needs and determine what the best care options should be – whether it is long-term or short-term care.

Special programs include: In-house comprehensive rehabilitation, physical, occupational and speech therapy, respiratory therapy, feeding tube care, tracheotomy care, Alzheimer’s and Dementia care (in the secured memory care unit) and much more.

A large, renovated therapy gym provides residents with range of motion exercises and everything they need to keep them moving and active. “We focus on having healthy, active lifestyles,” said Boyer.

For those who will be returning home, a home therapy room helps patients prepare for life on their own. A fully stocked, therapy kitchen, bathroom and bedroom allows patients to see how well they can function on their own.

When it is time for a patient to go home, a care coordinator will assess the patients progress and what they can or cannot handle in a home situation. The care coordinator will schedule a trip to the patients new home to make sure the home is safe for the patient to continue to live independently.

Santos explained that during those home visits, care coordinators may discover an aspect of home living they overlooked. Maybe getting out of bed is a struggle or reaching higher cabinets in the kitchen. The care coordinator brings these findings back to the therapists and incorporates these new issues into their therapy programs.

Campus and community events are great ways to keep residents active and social with other residents within the nursing home and community. Long-term residents will enjoy participating in group outings to the movies or going shopping and enjoying a meal out on the town. During

fair week, Santos said the residents enjoy a couple days of the week at the Wayne County Fair.

Boyer said, a walk out to the pond in front of the building is often a great way for residents to enjoy the outdoors and the “cute little ducks” that call the pond home.

Smithville Western Commons also offers a handful of events that the community can enjoy as well. “Dr. Talks” are held six times a year and feature local physicians who give educational seminars to the public. The community picnic in August and the Cookies and Canvas Class are great opportunities for the community to engage with the residents of Smithville Western Commons.

“Sprenger has become a great part of the community,” said Santos. “They are active with the Wooster Chamber of Commerce and sponsor community events like Wooster Fest.”

“I've been working in long-term care for many years and I couldn't imagine working in any other field,” said Santos. “It is where I found my niche.”

“We all come to work to make a difference in people's lives,” said Boyer.

Smithville Western Commons is located at 4110 E. Smithville-Western Road, Wooster. Admissions can be arranged 24 hours a day, seven days a week and tours are available any time by making an appointment or just stopping in. For more information call 330-345-9050 or visit www.sprengerhealthcare.com.

Early spring is often marked by wind and rain that precedes the more welcoming warmth synonymous with late spring and summer.

Rainy, damp conditions may be great for homeowners looking to revitalize their lawns and gardens, but such conditions can wreak havoc on achy joints, especially for those who experience arthritis. Although there is no concrete proof to link aching joints and muscles with damp weather, rheumatologists are often asked why achy joints and muscles tend to ache that much more in damp weather.

Dropping barometric pressure, which occurs when rain is on the horizon, may cause tissues to swell. Swelling tissues in already inflamed joints can add to pain, especially if these tissues push into nerves and muscles in the area. According to a survey published in the journal Pain, two-thirds of people living with chronic joint pain believe there is a link between their pain and weather changes. Changes in humidity and temperature also may play a role, affecting pressure all over the body. Joint pain may not be the only effect, as some people get headaches as well.

While spring may be a painful time of year for sufferers of joint pain, there are steps such men and women can take

to alleviate some of those aches. When rainy or cooler temperatures loom, try these ideas.

· SEE YOUR DOCTOR. If your pain is growing more severe, consult with your doctor, who may be able to develop a plan that helps you deal with the changing seasons more comfortably. Doctors may suggest chiropractic manipulation, or physical therapy or prescribe pain medications.

· KEEP THE BODY WARM. Cold limbs and joints may be more prone to stiffness and pain. Dress in layers and use heating pads to combat chilly temperatures.

· EXERCISE PAINFUL JOINTS. Rely on low-impact exercises, such as walking or swimming, to loosen up stiffness in the body. Loosening up and stretching before any intense workouts is recommended.

Rainy weather may be in the forecast, and that can mean increased pain for those with achy joints. Working with a medical professional can help take the "ouch" out of seasonal changes.

TREATING WEATHER-RELATED JOINT PAIN

Sunny days in Northeastern Ohio may be a rarity lately, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on your planned outdoor adventures. When the blue skies do beckon, be prepared to take on the trails and dust off the seat of your old bicycle.

Age shouldn’t stop older men and women from enjoying their favorite outdoor activities. Remaining active is very beneficial to improving physical and mental health.

Many seniors are avid cyclists and ride in competitions or just for pleasure. For those that do enjoy getting out and riding the trails, mix up your routes with some of these local bike trails:

LOCAL TRAILS OFFER

MILES OF ADVENTURES

RIDE THE TRAILS

County Line Trail 6.75 miles of trail that runs from Creston to Rittman. This is an asphalt, paved trail.

Basic car care is the key to a long-lasting vehicle, improving its safety and dependability, says the Car Care Council. Following a routine maintenance

program also makes financial sense since neglected vehicle care almost always means much higher costs down the line in the form of more extensive repairs or lost resale value.

The Car Care Council recommends 10 basic maintenance procedures to keep your car operating at its best for the long haul:

1. CHECK ALL FLUIDS, including engine oil, power steering, brake and transmission as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant.

2. CHECK THE HOSES AND BELTS to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear.

3. CHECK THE BATTERY and replace, if necessary. Make sure the connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free.

4. CHECK THE BRAKE SYSTEM annually and have the brake linings, rotors and drums inspected at each oil change.

5. INSPECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM for leaks, damage and broken supports or hangers if there is an unusual noise. Exhaust leaks can be dangerous and must be corrected without delay.

6. CHECK ENGINE PERFORMANCE to deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy and produce the lowest level of emissions.

7. CHECK THE HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) SYSTEM as proper heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons such as defrosting.

8. INSPECT THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM annually including shock absorbers, struts and chassis parts such as ball joints, tie rod ends and other related components.

9. CHECK THE TIRES, including tire pressure and tread. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.

10. CHECK THE WIPERS AND LIGHTING so that you can see and be seen. Check that all interior and exterior lighting is working properly and replace worn wiper blades so you can see clearly when driving during precipitation.

For more information on vehicle maintenance, service interval schedules, questions to ask a technician and tips to drive smart and save money, the Car Care Council’s 80-page Car Care Guide can be ordered free-of-charge at www.carcare.org.

Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary was founded by Annette Fisher, Executive Director. Fisher watched and cared for a neighbors horses (on the

property that is now Happy Trails) and discovered the family had a crippled pig, Janice, on their farm. Instead of being paid for her “babysitting” services, Fisher asked if she could have the pig.

To her surprise, the family allowed her to take the pig and Fisher helped Janice to live out her life in the best way possible. Fisher and her husband soon obtained the 10-acre farm and quickly set-out to care for as many farm animals as they could. Today you will find barns full of happy pigs, chickens, cows, horses and much more as they continue on the road to recovery.

Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary, Inc. is a non-profit (501c3) organization that rescues and rehabilitates farm animals such as: horses, ponies, pot belly pigs, farm pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, sheep, goats, and cattle. Animals brought to Happy Trails must be removed from a situation of abuse, neglect or abandonment by law officials and cruelty charges must be filed against those responsible for the crime.

Happy Trails takes in these animals and provides them with the proper medical care, proper nutrition, clean and safe housing and as much “TLC” as possible. An adoption program allows for rescued farm animals to be adopted to family’s as pets to live out the rest of their lives. (An application process is required as well

as an on-site visit to the animals future home to be sure the adopted animal will receive proper care.)

“We rescue animals from anywhere in the state of Ohio,” said Hope Evans, Marketing and Special Promotions for Happy Trails. “We have even rescued animals from as far away as New York and California.”

From May through October, guests can tour Happy Trails and learn about each of the animals that have come to live at Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary. Educational tours run Friday through Saturday with four available tour time slots per day. Each tour includes up to six people and one tour guide, who takes time to share the stories of how each animal came to live at Happy Trails.

It’s your opportunity to get up-close and personal with the animals; scratch the nose of a curious sheep, rub the belly of a grateful pig and most importantly, learn how you could make a difference in the lives of an animal. Admission: $20 for adults, $10 for youth ages 17 and under, kids under age five are free.

An Education center was built next to the property where Fisher and her staff utilize animal care experts to teach the general public about the importance of animal care and safety practices. The education center is a great opportunity for those raising animals or thinking about adopting a new friend to learn more about proper care and handling of farm animals.

Some of the upcoming summer classes include: “Mad About Ewe,” a two-part seminar the focus on an introduction to sheep and goat care as well as an advanced look at sheep and goat health – guest speaker is Dr. Randall Alger, DVM of Alger Veterinary Clinic. Founder, Annette Fisher will be giving a talk on the basics of backyard poultry keeping and poultry health

and other seminars include equine health care and equine chiropractics from local veterinarians.

Classes start at 7 p.m. and cost $7 per person (pre-registration required). Arriving early (6 p.m.) will get class participants an opportunity to tour the farm facilities. Visit the website for more information on classes and how to register.

Happy Trails relies on the donations of supporters and funding from visitors to the sanctuary. Evans said, the local community was very supportive in pitching in to rebuild a barn after one of their goat barns caught fire. Happy Trails occasionally receives grants for specific projects on the farm.

Some people enjoy donating feed to help out the animals. When visiting Happy Trails’ website, visit the “Wish List” section and learn what types of healthy snacks and food that the animals enjoy. Donators can purchase a bag of grain by calling or visiting one of the local stores Happy Trails partners with: Pettigrew Feed and Hardware, 330-325-1500, located at 6785 Tallmadge Road (Rt. 14), Edinburg, Ohio; or Western Reserve Farm Co-Op, 330-296-3424, located at 467 Cleveland Road, Ravenna, Ohio.

Seeing her friend Sally wearing a new locket, Meg asks if there is a memento of some sort inside.

“Yes,” says Sally, “a lock of my husband’s hair.”

“But Larry’s still alive.”

“I know, but his hair is gone.”
