THE GOOD LIFE Fall 2011
I
n the market for a timeless
and classic gift item, along
with the perfect card?
Or perhaps you need
something whimsical for
that baby shower next
Saturday? No matter the
function, whether formal or casual,
the eclectic offerings at Whallons
Gifts and Fine Papers may put your
searching to rest. Gifts of general
appeal, along with home and garden
accessories, party goods, jewelry,
educational toys, stationery, and
selected clothing and food items
fll the tables, racks and shelves
throughout the store.
The original gift shop, founded
in 1948 by Robert Whallonwho
will celebrate his 95th birthday
in Septemberwas located on
Orange St. in Lancaster. Then in
1960, says Kathie Whallon, wife
and co-owner, the store relocated
to Columbia Ave. and eventually
evolved into what it is today.
And what that is, Kathie describes,
is a small department store, where
we know our customers by name.
She terms their patron base mature,
and in some instances, the shoppers
they serve are fourth generation
family members. Its like a circle,
she says, since I have friends who
are customers, and customers who
are friends. Friends and customers
alike are welcome to pop in and say
hello. Some even sit down to chat
on the sturdy chair positioned by
the cashier desk, whether or not
they are making a purchase.
Those time-honored relationships
are not intended for customers only;
Kathie says that theyve established
long-standing working relationships
with sales representatives and
delivery people over the years, as
well. That sense of community and
the personal touch upon which
Whallons has built its reputation,
has not gone unnoticed by the
public on multiple
occasions the gift store
has been voted Best in
Lancaster County by
Readers of Lancaster,
as well as receiving
the Readers Choice
Award from Lancaster
Newspapers.
Kathie says she is
a people person; she
and daughter Amanda
Dutton are on the foor
every day, six days a
week, trying as hard as
they can to please. She
says that Amanda has
become the second
set of eyes needed
for running the store
and is as involved with
the business as she is
herself. Together they
keep abreast of trends
and change merchandise
as needed and always
seasonally, in order to
maintain a fresh inventory
and appearance essential
features for attracting new
customers and retaining
established ones. Besides,
says Kathie, opening up
boxes of new products
is like celebrating Christmas all
year round.
According to Kathie, presentation
of those goods is very important. She
likens it to a chef s original style of
plating food or the frst impression
a person makesthe way an item
looks, along with the way its staged,
arranged or paired in the storeare
all facets of presentation. And in
the end, when an item goes out
Whallons front door as a gift, the
distinctive wrapping also sends
a message.
Among the multiple product
lines that Whallons carries, Kathie
considers Crabtree & Evelyn
(bath and body products), Crane
and Co. Stationery (fne papers
and cards), and two companies
that collaborateCaspari (artistic
printed paper products) and Mariposa
(glassware, ceramics, and aluminum
serveware)as their staples. Patrons
can also fnd Lennox, Dansk, and
Glass Eye (known for its paper
weights) represented. A line of plush
toys brings out the child in everyone;
a towering giraffe, which you cant
miss once youre in the store, is a
very popular item from Melissa
and Doug Educational Toys, often
purchased, says Kathie, for church
nurseries or pre-schools. She also
likes to promote local artists and
sells folk art by Dennis Stephan and
photography by Sam Altdoerffer, Jr.
In addition to the wide gift
selection from which to choose,
Whallons also offers two services
to its customers. The one for
which they are particularly known
is their free gift wrapping. For
those with less than nimble fngers
when it comes to squaring corners
and confguring bows, or if the
object in hand proves to be a bit
obstreperous, leave the wrapping
to Whallons. They will wrap to
your specifcations and create the
distinctive ribbon-bedecked look
for any occasion. Kathie says they
will even wrap an item a customer
may bring from home. If you stand
still long enough, she says, Ill put
a bow on you!
The second service Whallons
provides is the ordering of invitations.
Be it wedding, anniversary, garden
party or shower, they will follow
through and assist you, as much or
as little as you wish, says Kathie.
If you want help customizing, as
with the font or wording, well help
you with those decisions. And we
also take orders for personalized
stationery.
As gracious as the hostess of a
festive gathering, Kathie Whallon
greets her customers like guests,
and says, Were here to serve the
community in the best possible way
that we can, and weve been doing it
for a long time.

An Ephrata shopping
excursion is a bit like a
day-trip around the world.
Shoppers can fnd
unique items imported
from all over the globe.
stop at the newly renovated Ephrata
National Bank, which was designed
by C. Emlen Urban, the originator
of Lancasters Watt & Shand and
Southern Market buildings, for
some cash is well worth the time. The old vault
with its round door and the leaded stained glass
skylight are sights to behold and an expression of
days gone by. The building was fnished in 1925
and described as a beautiful, costly and complete
banking house by the Ephrata Review.
The Fun-est Toy Store Ever! is a great place
to fnd unusual toys sure to please folks of all
ages. Talking dinosaurs, belly banks, solar fowers
and old-school items such as metal Slinkys line
the shelves.
Walk to the back of the
store and youll fnd a
treasure of unusual
items geared to
women in Pinky
La Rue. There
is a host of items
such as candies
and tissues that
feature slogans
of female interest.
There are plenty
of candles, soaps,
jewelry, designer lunch
totes, scarves, watches,
reading pyramids, head
massagers and candies such as
PMS or Boob Boosting mints to
choose from.
Quilters will enjoy the Piece by Piece Quilt
Shop and those who appreciate artwork can fnd
their niche at Sheldons Gallery & Frame Shop.
Step next door and pick up some unusual
winter holiday items at Christmas & More

a caf and lots of home dcor items.

break. Lilys on Main, which is located in the
Brossman Business Complex, is the place for
American fare with a fair. The grilled meat loaf
is a popular dish. Another favorite is the lobster
macaroni and cheese. Raspberry chicken is the
restaurants signature dish.
Lilys seats about 100 people and offers live
entertainment. John Oates of Hall & Oates will
be performing Sun., Oct. 2 and pianist George

family, friends and traditions. The portions are
large and the items offered include lots of fresh
local ingredients. Everything is homemade

a special dried corn found only in shops in New
York City.

Salon Art-Tiff. The salon offers a full line of
quality services, including nail, hair and body
treatments, massages and facials.

Ephrata
Ephrata is a good choice for theater patrons who like to
end the evening with a nice dining experience. Whether it
is a movie, a show for the family or a taste of racier theater
for adults, one can always fnd some entertainment, thanks
to the Ephrata Performing Arts Center and the Ephrata
Main Theatre.
EPAC has partnered with Lilys on Main owned by Steve
Brown, the Hilltop Inn owned by John Speros and the Old
Lincoln House owned by Geoffrey Simmons for opening
night celebrations. Show your EPAC ticket and enjoy free
light refreshments and a cash bar. On other show nights,
present your theater ticket at Lilys on Main and get a
10 percent discount on dinner.
They have all been great partners with us, said Stephanie
Harley, EPAC managing director.
The Ephrata Main Theater, which is owned by Brown,
offers a variety of movies and they occasionally feature live
entertainment. John Oates of Hall & Oates will perform with
Carsie Blanton on Sun., Oct. 2 and pianist George Winston
will be there Thurs., Dec. 8. More information is available at
www.lilysonmain.com.
Those that prefer live stage shows shouldnt have any trouble
fnding something at EPAC. There are two upcoming shows

will feature full nudity and is best enjoyed by adults. The
Vagina Monologues, which is scheduled for Nov. 11 and 12,
is another of EPACs on-the-edge series.
We are one of the edgier theaters. Performers can come
out to do things that are unusual and offer risk, Harley said.
We have worked over the years to have a decent balance,
she added.
EPAC, which is under the artistic directorship of Ed
Fernandez, is featuring a special Halloween event from
Oct. 20 Nov. 5. Evil Dead the Musical is being billed
as the transformation of horror movies into a crazy musical
comedy.
Those looking for a family show will enjoy the holiday

dogs, homemade beef vegetable soup and coffee will be available to eat on the
grounds, or you can purchase soup and dumplings to take home. Proceeds

THE EPHRATA FAIR
HAS IT ALL
Fall 2011 THE GOOD LIFE
13
S
eptember fairs are a Lancaster
County tradition to behold and
this years 93rd annual Ephrata
Fair is no exception. Whether
its the midway rides, the tasty food or the
agricultural exhibits, the fair, which runs
from Sept. 20 24, is a great place to gather
to support the community.
Ephrata ofcials will close Main Street
(Route 322) from 7 p.m. Monday evening
to about 5 a.m. Sunday to house the midway
portion of the fair event. Meander your way
through the town for some rides, games and
a vast array of tasty treats.
The Ephrata Fair is supposedly the
largest street fair (at least in Pennsylvania),
said Elaine Sensenig, fair president. The
midway is like a big carnival. The fair really
is a great place to come to meet up with
old friends. And the food is always good,
Sensenig added.
Stop at the fair building, re hall, borough
hall or The Ephrata Review lobby to check
out this years exhibits, which include
everything from needlecrafts, produce, to
canned goods.
Tent City, which is located in Grater
Memorial Park, houses the agricultural
portion of the fair. Its the place to be if you
enjoy looking at goats, pigs, sheep, rabbits
and beef animals. Younger children can enjoy
the petting zoo. The more adventurous souls
can enter the rooster and pig chase.
Those who love a good parade will
be entertained by an array of bands and
oats. This years 77th parade, which starts
Wednesday at 7 p.m., is the place to watch
high school bands perform or catch a bagpipe
rift or two. Even the local business sponsors
and politicians get in on the act, making it a
true community event.
The 54th annual baby parade, which
starts at 12 p.m. Saturday, showcases some
of the countys nest youngsters.
Those interested in farming can enjoy
Friday evenings antique tractor pull and
games.

THE GOOD LIFE Fall 2011
quarter of a century has passed
since the annual Boehms
Chapel Apple Festival had its
beginning. October 8 will
mark the 26th consecutive
year of the event held at 13 West Boehms
Road, just south of Willow Street.
In 1985, Linda McCullough, Boehms
United Methodist Church member,
mentioned she was impressed with her family
visits to the huge Biglerville Apple Festival in
Adams County. The apple festival idea was
further developed, nurtured and expanded by
Bill and Jane Shultz, of Grandview United
Methodist Church, as a way to raise needed
funds for the historic chapel restoration.
The rst APPLE DAY was held Oct. 18,
1986. Chapel society member Joan Betty was the
chairman of the program committee. Various
baked apple dishes were available, as well as
candied apples and cider. Balloons and clowns
for the children and a group called The Country
Fiddlers provided entertainment. It was in
1991 that the name of the event was changed
to Boehms Chapel Apple Festival.
Leo Smith, from Conestoga, now deceased,
was also a dedicated member of the rst
program committee. He reported a prot of
$526.50 the rst year. The second year saw
prots double. It was by Leos suggestion that
craft exhibitors were invited in 1988 with
eight crafters attending the event.
The festival has expanded over the last
25 years and now nearly covers most of
the Boehms campus. Spaces for vendor
stands are at a premium. Stands inside
the church fellowship hall overow onto
the porch and parking lot. For the last
several years vendors also line the stone
pathway leading to the historic 1791
chapel. Vendors make early contact in
order to reserve their favorite space.
Parking is another item that is in high
demand. Cars begin streaming onto
the site well before the ofcial opening
time of 9 a.m. and continue at a steady
pace throughout the day. Men of Boehms
Church are kept very busy constantly
handing out event maps and directing cars to
any recently emptied space or to the overow
parking area. For visitors in need of a ride from
their parking space to the huge striped tent that
houses the registration and door prize table, golf
carts are made available. Handicapped parking
is also available.
The apple bread made by the dedicated ladies
of Grandview United Methodist Church is the
rst food item to sell out every year. The late
Jane Schultz, a founding member of Boehms
26th Annual
Boehms
Chapel
Apple
Festival
The 26Th BOehM'S ChAPeL APPLe FeSTivAL
held rain or shine, October 08, 2011
from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Boehms Campus
13 West Boehms Road, Willow Street,
off route 272 South.

CALL 717.872.4133
or email Boehmschapel@gmail.com
for additional information.
Chapel Society, encouraged the idea for each
local United Methodist Church to host a stand
at Apple Festival as a means of encouraging
interest in the history and upkeep of their
historic site.
For many years, Boehms Church member
Ron Martin and family spent uncalculated
hours of preparation and serving time to provide
the many luncheon food items. In 2010 the
young adult Sunday School Class of Stehman
Memorial United Methodist Church in Manor
Township assumed much of the responsibility
of the lunch food preparation and sales. The
women of Boehms Church and Chapel Society
also stir up homemade soup, create red beet
apple eggs and provide a wide variety of baked
goods, sweets and candied apples.
Up until a few years ago, the apple
dumplings were homemade by members of
Boehms Church. The dumpling crew met at
Rawlinsville Camp Meeting to snitz, roll dough
and bake hour after hour. As years progressed
and demand began to exceed supply the
decision was made to lighten the overwhelming
workload and have dumplings made at a near-
by village fre company.
The Boehms Church family is without a
doubt a hard working, faithful crew. Year after
year church member, Richard Hackman offers
his made-on-site homemade apple' ice cream.
A few stands away, the Mike McCullough
family can be found dishing up apple crisp,
apple nuggets and churning ice cream.
Anchoring the event together are the apple
butter kettles. Fires under kettles are started at
midnight and manned by a crew of volunteers
under the watchful eye of Jim McCullough,
president of the Chapel Society. The butter
is constantly stirred throughout the night
until each kettle is ready to be pulled off the
fre and jarred at various times throughout
festival day. Jim has increased the number of
kettles throughout the 25 years of the Apple
Fest history and still fnds it hard to meet the
demand of the visitors.
Boehms Chapel Apple Butter is an all-
natural product. The only ingredients used are
cider and a variety of apples. The day prior to
Apple Fest will fnd groups of workers, coring,
peeling and snitzing apples for use at the butter-
making stand.
The McCoy Boys, from Lampeter, will
provide gospel-type music for Apple Festival
2011. Spinning and weaving demonstrations,
a caricature artist, childrens area and tours
of Boehm's Chapel will also be available
throughout the day.

If youre conversant in this

And whether youre a novice to
knitting needles or a seasoned
sheep-to-shawl hobbyist, Lancasters yield of
yarn and ber shops may leave you spinning.
Or weaving. Or crocheting, or knitting or

I wound my way to Flying Fibers in

Longwool Sheep Shop in Yorkshire, England.
Her shop, which specializes in rare breed
wools, along with local wools and hand made
products, also promotes sustainable and fair
trade bers and yarns. Additionally, Jeri carries
Plymouth productswhose home base is in
Bristol, Pennsylvaniaand Kraemer yarns,
because, she says, they are the last large-
scale spinning mill in Pennsylvania. Flying
Fibers is a well-rounded shop with an extra
room set up for knitting, spinning, weaving or
crochet classes, in addition to an open studio
on Wednesdays.
Susan Andorn keeps shop at Oh Susanna!
in Rohrerstown, where she says she can put
her nger on any stand of the natural bers
in which she specializes. Knitting since she
was four, Susan brings a wealth of experience
to her customers and shes willing to share
her knowledge and expertise individually. Her
shops claim to fame? I can supply people
with outdated materials that nobody else has,
she says. That could be because rather than
mark down and move out her merchandise, she
continues to add to her inventory.

Storming (or Yarn Bombing) and the Longest
Scarf in the World Project.

THE GOOD LIFE Fall 2011
hile most of us agree, every picture tells a story, jewelry
designer Kathryn Pearce takes that statement to another
level. Every piece of jewelry should tell a story, too, she
says.
As an artisan of handcrafted jewelry, Kathryns elegant, graceful
designs are displayed in her shopVeleska Jewelryalong with designs
by dozens of other jewelry designers from throughout the world.
She recently relocated her quaint, downtown Lancaster boutique
to a larger shop at 2359 Lincoln Highway East, near the Target
shopping complex in east Lancaster. The move doubles the size
of the stores jewelry display space, and adds an area dedicated
to bridal jewelry and a new wedding jewelry collection. The
new location also adds a consulting area for custom design
workone of Kathryns favorite parts of the jewelry
designing business.
The jewelry that you and I create
together is yours alone, designed precisely
to your vision, Kathryn says of working
with individual clients to bring their
visions of a special piece of jewelry
into reality. Its an exceptional
level of personalization, where I
bring together the person and the
gemstone to create a one-of-a-kind
piece just for her.
While most people may assume
that a custom-made piece of jewelry
by a professional designer is beyond
their budget, it may be surprisingly
economical, Kathryn saysand
ecological. We all have old jewelry
hanging around thats out of style, broken
or simply no longer our taste. I can turn that
gold and gemstones into a fabulous, new design
that becomes the piece youll always wear. Its
called re-purposing, and according to Kathryn, many
custom designs begin with the combination of someones desire
to repurpose that metal and gems, and a dream of what a new piece would
look like.
The resulting piece of jewelry tells a story. Often, there is great
sentimental signicance to an old, perhaps inherited item. Sometimes
the stones are childrens birthstones, or the gold a parents wedding ring.
Re-purposing preserves all the memories, yet makes the jewelry design a
perfect expression of its owner.
With 25 years of experience in designing jewelry, Kathryn combines
tried-and-true, old school technique with modern technology to create
classic pieces that will be enjoyed for
generations. She graduated from Boston
University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree in metalsmithing, and two minors
in art history and business. In 1985,
Kathryn came to Millersville University
as an artist-in-residence. She fell in love
with Lancaster, and never left.
Kathryns love of color is evident in
her vibrant storefront, a combination
of lime green and violet. That same eye
for color gives her a unique perspective
in jewelry design. I love to mix colors
and textures in my work, she says, which
includes customizing the popular Trollbeads.
Veleska Jewelry is a Gold-level Trollbeads shop,
which gives Veleska the privilege of offering
special beads not shown in catalogs. I also use
my sense of color to combine a clients choices of
Trollbeads into a unique piece that tells her story,
Kathryn says.
Veleska Jewelry will
be celebrating its relocation
grand opening throughout the
month of October with special
events, giveaways and designer
appearances. Visit www.veleskajewelry.
com for all the details. And be sure
to chat with Kathryn Pearce when
planning your next jewelry keepsake.
Youll get inspired. And, youll get
exactly what you wanted.
This ring was designed to nest with the
clients wedding band, and the colored stones
represent her childrens birthdays. Its the
perfect ending to a story that
started with old, unworn
jewelry and a dream.

Fan
hough ceiling fans are
most associated with
warm-weather seasons,
most can be efective
throughout the winter
months as well, helping circulate
warm air throughout a room in
much the same way they circulate
cool air during the warmer weather.
Most of todays fans have a switch
near the motor housing that alters
the direction in which the fans blades
turn. When a ceiling fan is used in
the summer, its blades push the air
downward, moving cool air around
the room. The air blowing around the
room is what cools people within the
room. When the blades direction is
altered, the blades then push the air
upward toward the ceiling. This drives
the hot air, which typically rises to
the top, down toward the edges of
the room. This helps circulate warm
air throughout a room, making for
more even heating. Whats more,
this improved heat circulation helps
combat window sweating that results
from condensation on the glass when
hot air is not efectively circulated
throughout a home.

Here are some ways you can put green
into action throughout your workday.
Rethink drinking containers. Before you grab that cup of joe,
reconsider the type of drinking container youre using each day.
Get into the habit of reusing a mug or glass for water at the offce.
Avoiding the use of disposable cups can make a big difference and
help set a positive standard in your offce.
Get some small indoor plants. If youre lucky enough to
have an offce with a window, put your green thumb to work and
bring in a plant. If you work out of an interior offce or cubicle,
do a little research to determine which plants can survive without
direct sunlight.
Do you really need a lift? While taking the elevator may be
easy, save that energy by taking the stairs instead. Picking this
alternative can make a sizable difference in your everyday energy
consumption. Its also a great way to get some exercise.
Watch your printing habits. If you have to use large quantities
of paper, suggest your offce buy recycled paper and make it a habit
to print on both sides to cut use in half. If youve printed off too
many copies, be sure there is a recycling bin nearby to dispose of
the extra paper.
Evaluate the restrooms. Take a close look on your next
bathroom break to see if one-at-a-time paper towel dispensers are
being used. These dispensers help cut down on the use of excess
paper and will help your organization save money. Remember to
bring this up with your facility manager if theyre not currently
using energy saving technology.
Turn off the lights. Avoid leaving the light on in the copy
room if its going to be unused at night. The same goes for other
common areas in your offce. Be sure to turn off your computer
and power strip at the end of your workday and encourage others
to do the same.
For more information on how to incorporate sustainability into your way of life, visit www.torkgreenhygienecouncil.com.
R
egardless of the size of your
workspace be it large
or small you can take a
number of steps to lighten
both your environmental footprint
and that of your organization.
You can make a real difference by
taking the time to consider how work
routines infuence the health of the
planet. By evaluating everyday actions and
cooperating with your offce manager and
colleagues, you can get your offce on track
for a greener future.
Of more than 1,000 business
professionals surveyed for the Tork
Report: Healthy People, Healthy Planet,
commissioned by SCA and conducted
online by Harris Interactive in 2010, results
revealed that 59 percent of respondents
have started to make small changes to
become greener when making lifestyle or
business decisions.
You can also work with your facility
manager to see what green initiatives
are being executed at a higher level and
encourage further efforts. Find out if your
building is LEED certifed or if there is a
corporate sustainability plan in place. Your
facility manager can also share if third-
party certifed products are being used in
building operations, such as toilet paper,
facial tissue and paper towels made from
100 percent recycled fbers.
Greening
your
workday

Commute to work. While hopping
in the car may be an easy option,
taking public transportation, biking
or even carpooling can start off your
day in an environmentally conscious
way. With high gas prices, it may
even help save a penny or two.

eptember 11, 2011 marks the
10th anniversary of the terror
attacks that took place in New
York City, Pennsylvania and
Washington, D.C. by extremists. As
most people know, on that day several
planes were hijacked by terrorists and
were purposely crashed into targeted
areas across the country. The most
extensive destruction took place at the
World Trade Centers Twin Towers
and at the Pentagon building in
Washington D.C.
Nearly 3,500 people lost their lives on
September 11, including hundreds of
frefghters who entered the towers in
response to the attack. Many other frst
responders have subsequently fallen
ill or died due to respiratory illnesses
from inhaling toxic fumes and smoke
at Ground Zero.
For the last several years, rebuilding
efforts have been underway in NYC. As
the nation prepares to commemorate
the tenth anniversary of the attacks,
the Ground Zero memorial plaza has
nearly been completed in time for
remembrance events. Two waterfall
refecting ponds are complete and stand
in the footsteps of the original tower
buildings. Approximately 200 trees
have been planted at the Memorial
Plaza. The glass facade has also been
erected, which serves as the entryway
to the underground museum.
The completed plan for the site will
include seven towers, a visitor center, a
transportation hub, and a performing
arts center. The Freedom Tower,
recently renamed as simply 1 World
Trade Center, is slated for completion
by 2013. Developers promise the tower
will be the tallest building in New York
1,776 feet in height to the top of
the antenna.

Mount Bethel Cemetery.
Mount Bethel Cemetery is located on
10 acres at 700 Locust St., Columbia. This
beautiful cemetery, circa 1724, pre-dates
the American Revolutionary War and was
established by the founding families of
Columbia: the Blunstons, the Wrights and the
Barbers, in the early 1700s.
Originally known as Old
Bethel it later became known
as the Old Brickyard Cemetery
when it was enclosed (around
1746) by a thick brick wall. The
bricks, originally imported from
England by Samuel Blunston to
build a private residence, arrived
after Samuels death.
Many early burials are without markers
or have markers that can no longer be read.
The earliest legible burial marker found is

he secrets of accessorizing your
home are much like accessorizing
your own wardrobe. Even the
most essential black dress or
dark suit can suddenly come
alive with intriguing accessories
that bring out the real you.
For Gerry Gwinn, ASID, of G&G Design
and Staging, even the most impressive home
can fall short without the right accessories.
And a more modest home can have star
power with the details that put it on the best-
dressed list.
When it comes to accessorizing a home,
there are some basics that make all the
difference, says Gwinn.
For example, every home should have an
overall plan. Even if you arent ready to purchase
that one-of-a-kind piece of art or handmade
Oriental rug, you need to know what your next
steps will be.
Every room needs a least one wow! item,
which might be a massive antique cabinet
or a unique collectible, says Gwinn, adding
that the items could be almost anything that
reects the character of the homeowner,
whether its an unusually colored sofa, a unique
sculpture or a display of family photographs in
antique frames.
In one home that Gwinn decorated, a massive
and beautifully crafted entertainment center
from North Carolina provides an unmistakable
focal point in the familys favorite room,
accented by a huge twin rattan ceiling fan that
rotates vertically at the cathedral ceiling. These
pieces already existed at the home when Gwinn
came on the scene. Through accessories like
pillows for the sofa, vases and books, area rugs
and a leather coffee table, Gwinn was able to
pull the entire room together for a resounding
Wow!
Gwinn works magic with makeovers that
utilize many of the features in a room. She will
move a sculpture or painting, repaint a wall,
replace area rugs, add accessories, rearrange
the furniture, and suddenly the room is
transformed.
At another Lancaster home, the very
traditional decor needed a refreshing shot
of color and style. Many of the homeowners
favorite things were retained, but switched up,
with new Oriental-style rugs, more lively colors
and unexpected touches. The deep green walls
with white chair rails and faux wainscoting
in the dining room needed a face lift. The
color was replaced with more sophisticated
A sleek contemporary sculpture gracing a foyer. A strategically
placed stack of literary classics. A glass vase lled with fresh lemons.

sage green walls accented by crisp white
woodworking. A sheer, embroidered window
treatment that combines a more contemporary
palette of grey green, soft cranberry and warm
golden beige tones hangs in an innovative
half-window style with wooden knobs instead
of curtain rods.
Its not all about budget, assures Gwinn.
She works closely with clients on all sorts
of budgets, from sky-is-the-limit to cautious
spenders. Often she will suggest that instead
of real imported Oriental rugs, more affordable
options will do quite nicely. It might be more
practical in a home with young children and
pets to opt for the $40 vase that looks just like
its $250 counterpart.
Sometimes the existing accessories and
furnishings just need a fresh eye and a few
dashes of excitement. Maybe you never thought
to move the sofa away from the wall or switch
the mantle clock with a striking painting by a
local artist.
Today there is no longer a stigma
with shopping for bargains. Today that
is smart shopping, says Gwinn.
Homes today are more lived in,
more used and more active. The look
of each room needs to reect the
lifestyle of the people who live there,
whether its showing off a collection of
Japanese artwork or creating a family
gathering place for watching movies.
Rooms that sit quietly unused are a
thing of the past.
Gwinn is an interior designer who
formerly worked for Bareville Furniture
and spent ve years decorating luxury
homes in the Caymans. In her 25
years of decorating homes in all price
ranges, she has found that the simple
guidelines apply.
I make an effort to design rooms
that reect the homeowners, she says.
I never want anyone to say, 'Oh look,
Gerry Gwinn designed this room.'
Sometimes Gwinn designs entire
rooms from start to nish, but more
often than not she does room redesigns
and makeovers that rearrange, update,
simplify and add to the things
homeowners already have. Its green
design at its best.
Gwinn is also a real estate agent and
one area of specialty is homestaging
that prepares a home to be shown to
potential buyers.
Most of Gwinns clients plan
to stay in their homes for many years
to come.
They want a fresh perspective
on creating a truly livable home
that reects their tastes, whether
comfortably cottage, 18th century
traditional, sleek contemporary or an
eclectic blend, says Gwinn. I bring
a new outlook to each room and the
effects can be quite dramatic with a
minimum of cost.
I make an eort to design rooms that
reect the homeowners, she says.

orking on this project was a wonderful experience
because I was able to create an environment that included
all of the elements we were looking for plus utilize many
of the McDonald's original pieces. Great design isn't always about
purchasing a room full of new furniture. Often all you need are
some key pieces that you can build your design around. In this case
I was able to create an intimate theater space with comfortable
seating, great lighting, plush fabrics and added a touch of whimsy
with our artwork. With a few additional furniture pieces and new
accessories the rest of the entertainment space came together as well.
The icing on the cake was when we were working on displaying
some of the family's golf-related prints. A great way to spice up a
collection of prints is to add objects to your display. In this case the
home owners had some beautiful platters that had been awarded to
family members. After some time at the framers these items became
art as well and found a new home displayed on the wall. I was so
pleased with the outcome of this project not only because the space
looks beautiful, but because the client was so thrilled with the look
of many of her old items!!
~ Gerry Gwinn
DESIGN PROJECT:
This design project was a basement family entertainment room facelift!
The McDonalds use this space to watch sports and movies, entertain
friends and family as a gaming and billiards room and showcase family
sports memorabilia. Mrs. McDonald wanted the space to be comfortable
and welcoming as well as classy and elegant.

It is, in a word, lovely.
So wouldnt it be perfect to be stretched
out in a hammock, lazily soaking it all in?
The only problem: Youve already packed
away your own rope hammock until next
Memorial Day.
Because thats what youre supposed to
do, right? You take your hammock down
during long bouts of bad weather, and you
store it in a dry place each summers end.
Anyway, everyone knows hammocks are
just for summer. You dont see other people
lounging around in theirs the rest of the
year, do you?
Maybe not, but thats their loss!
Recent textile advancements mean
that, increasingly, quality hammocks are
designed with all-year in mind.
The only limit to how much of the
year you now can enjoy a hammock is your
own imagination, commented Walter
R. Perkins III, CEO of The Hammock
Source, home to such trendsetting brands
as Hatteras Hammocks and The Original
Pawleys Island Rope Hammock.
Traditionally, hammock rope has been
woven from cotton and cotton, no
matter the quality, eventually rots from
prolonged weather exposure. But with many
top hammock-crafters having switched
to weather-tough synthetics, consumers
neednt settle anymore for products they
have to baby, or even stow away at summers
end. Several new-generation rope and
fabric fbers are not only incredibly strong
and surprisingly soft, but also resistant to
rot, mold, mildew, fading, and staining.
If something as laid-back as a hammock
can possibly undergo a revolution, then
these new synthetics are it, observed Bill
Rosso, president of Nags Head Hammocks,
one of the worlds leading producers and
retailers of hand-woven hammocks.
But all this heightened durability still
wont keep you warm should a cold wind
whip up. The rope hammock was designed,
after all, so that air could reach you from
all sides.
Besides dressing yourself appropriately
for the weather, the best way to avoid the
bulk of cold drafts is to opt for a fabric
hammock instead of a rope model. That
way, the only air directly hitting you is
from above.
But if you already own a good all-
weather rope hammock, replacing it right
now probably seems extravagant. There is,
said Perkins, an economical alternative.
Tying a quality fabric hammock-pad
onto your rope hammock will boost warmth
tremendously, he explained. Actually, even
laying an old blanket inside the hammock
will do wonders.
Of course, if its the dead of winter,
youll defnitely want a blanket to put on
top of you, too!
Even better, invite someone special to
join you. Youll both be the warmer, and
happier, for it.
ts a mildly blustery fall day. The sun is shining, the temperature
pleasant, just a touch on the cool side. The light breeze gently
rustling your backyard trees lifts loose colorful leaves, crafting a
swirling rain of reds, yellows, oranges and browns.

Quality and Service You Can Depend On
Between working in offces, studying at
school, exercising at the gym and relaxing at
home, Americans spend most of their time
indoors. But many people dont realize that, in
staying indoors, they face more pollution that
they would outside.
Indoor air can contain viruses, dust mites,
formaldehyde, radon, pet dander and volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), pollutants that
aggravate allergies. But in understanding four
key air quality components, Americans can
ensure a healthy, sustainable home.
1. Moisture Control. Too much moisture
can lead to mold, while dry air can cause
skin and respiratory problems. Controlling
humidity allows the HVAC system to work
more effciently, so homeowners pay less in
energy bills. Choose automatic, whole-home
humidifers and dehumidifers.
2. Ventilation. Without air circulation,
allergens, odors, moisture and other pollutants
cannot leave the home. Ensure air fow with a
mechanical ventilation system, which will use
fans and ducts to circulate fresh air.
3. Air Filtration. Central air flters permanently
remove airborne contaminants. 4. Energy
Effciency. According to the EPA, using
effcient heating and cooling systems, leakless
ducts and thermostats that are programmed to
save energy at night or when residents are away
would prevent 169 billion pounds of greenhouse
gas emissions a year. The EPA says that a
programmable thermostat can save you up to 30
percent on your energy bills.
HEALTHY AIR
Faced with the prospect of another season
spent precariously climbing a ladder and
reaching inside to clear out debris and leaves,
many homeowners are considering the
installation of a gutter protection system. And
with so many different types available, fnding
the right ft is always so easy.
A gutter protection system is a cover or
barrier that prevents leaves and large items,
such as twigs or blown-around matter, from
lodging in a homes gutters and eventually
preventing rain runoff from draining
effectively. Clogged gutters and downspouts
have been known to contribute to rainwater
pooling around the foundation of a home,
potentially causing seepage issues. Blocked
gutters can also be a haven for stagnant water,
which breeds mosquitoes and other insects
and potentially harmful bacteria.
To combat these issues, manufacturers have
come up with a series of protection systems
that allow water to enter the gutter while
keeping debris out of it. Gutter protection
systems range from do-it-yourself options to
professionally installed products. There are a
few different styles, and each offer their share
of pros and cons.
*
Screen: A mesh or screen system
consists of a screening material that fts inside
or over the gutter. It serves as a sieve, allowing
the water through but blocking leaves and
debris. This system is affordable and can be
a DIY project. But over a period of time the
mesh itself can be blocked with a build-up of
debris and will need periodic cleaning. Also,
in some screened systems water can freeze up
in the screen openings, causing ice dams.
*
Aluminum covers: There are many
different aluminum options. Some work with
a small crevice along the top that is narrow
enough for the rainwater to enter but not
allow debris inside. They may not allow
as much water to enter as a mesh system
because they cover a greater surface area over
the gutter. Closed systems also may provide
an area for insects to make nests.
*
Foam inserts: A relatively inexpensive
protection system is a foam insert. These
pieces of porous foam are ftted inside the
gutter, allowing water to fow through (albeit
a little more slowly) while keeping leaves out.
Foam inserts are an easy do-it-yourself project
and can serve as a test of the effcacy of gutter
systems before a more expensive system is
purchased.

Surface tension products:
These are closed plastic or aluminum
products where the water entry holes
or channels are on the bottom and
sides of the product. This way nothing
can ever get clogged from above. The
system works by water surface tension;
the rainwater will adhere to the product
and then fow into the bottom or side
holes. The nose of these products may
have to be kept clean or the surface
tension may not occur.
When it comes to gutter protection systems, there are a number of options to consider.
Homeowners can experiment with diferent low-cost systems to see if one works before
contracting to have a permanent guard put in place.

arm-weather days will soon be a thing of the
past and that means prepping the home and
landscape for the arrival of winter weather. Even
though it may be blanketed rst by leaves and snow, lawns
need treatment now to be sure they overwinter successfully.
In fact, lawn experts say there is signicant root growth
that takes place during the winter growth homeowners
wont necessarily see. People should continue to water their
lawns throughout the autumn if there isnt signicant rain
and to aerate it as well. Applying a fertilizer that is high in
nitrogen can help foster strong root growth. Also, keep up
on removing leaves that have fallen. Not only will they stie
the lawn, but they may cause excessive moisture and mold
to grow while inhibiting sunlight from reaching the grass as
well. Before winter arrives, take the time to sow some grass
seeds into the bald patches, if any. By late fall the lawn will
stop taking up nutrients in preparation for winter.

October
is the time of year to begin
preparing your favorite foods
for the fall and winter months
ahead. Happily, the last summer
garden crops can provide a
wealth of raw ingredients
for scrumptious desserts and
holiday sweet treats. With
this in mind, dont neglect to
gather in the last little fush
of zucchinis before the plants
exhaust themselves; pick the
fnal green tomatoes if they
show even a little rosy blush;
cure pumpkins and hard-
shelled winter squash in the
sun for as long as possible and
store in a cool place; and mulch
mature crops of root vegetables
like fall carrots that can be left
in the ground throughout fall
and early winter.
We all know that carrots
are one of the most nutritious
root vegetables and an easy
way to enjoy eating them is
in carrot cakes, muffns, or
cookies, where their appetizing
deep orange fesh can be used
to advantage. If you havent
baked with carrots before, try
my chocolate chip carrot cake
for a crowd pleaser.
Carrot desserts can be made
whenever you feel like them
because the tapered crispy
orange roots will store well
right in the garden even in
cold winter climates. Carrots
actually sweeten
up when touched
by frost. If you live
in an area with early
cold and snow, lay down
a heavy mulch over your
carrot bed so that the soil wont
freeze and carrots will be easy
to pull as needed for fall/winter
use.
Tomatoes need to be
completely harvested before
the frst frost, although you
can stretch the season a bit
by covering plants with spun-
bound row cover or even sheets;
be sure they are supported
around and over the plants.
To be honest, I usually dont
bother, but pick all my green
tomatoes as soon as frosts
threaten. If they have even a
hint of red or blush, they are
wonderful to use for crunchy
fried green tomatoes, green
tomato jam, or marmalade,
or pair with apples for green
tomato and apple pies.
The stars of the dessert
tray, when it comes to
the fall garden, are hard-
shelled winter squashes like
Butternut, Buttercup, Banana,
and Kabocha, and all kinds,
colors, and sizes of pumpkins.
Harvest these long-keeping
fruits of the vine after they are
well-colored and their outer
rinds are tough and cannot be
pierced with a fngernail. The
vines will often have dried up
or died back by this time. Pick
them with a little handle of
stem attached, and then cure
them in the garden in full sun
for a week or two if weather
permits.

The fesh of both pumpkins
and winter squashes is chock
full of healthy vitamins,
especially vitamin A, and lots
of healthy fber. Its taste pairs
well with rich warm spices
like cinnamon, ginger, cloves
and nutmeg, as well as sweet
favorings like honey and maple
syrup. Many winter squashes
have naturally sweet fesh that
when cooked has a wonderful
nutty quality and faky texture.
To prepare both pumpkins
and winter squashes for use in
baking, you need to cook them
frst, then remove their tough
rinds and seeds. To do this,
make a few slits all over the
shell to allow steam to escape
and set the fruit on a piece
of foil in a 375 oven to bake
for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours,
depending on size, or until the
shell is split and fesh is tender,
as a well-baked potato. Or
you can put them into
the microwave and
cook about 20 to
30 minutes at full
power. Let the
cooked squash
cool thoroughly, then cut it
open, scrape out the seeds and
scoop the fesh off the rinds.
This meat is now ready
to use as an ingredient in
all kinds of baked goodies .
Youll fnd that winter squash
and pumpkin are quite
interchangeable in recipes so
you can substitute one for the
other any time it is convenient.
Besides pumpkin or squash
pie, they make delicious fruit
butter, cakes, rich bars, muffns,
and cookies. These low fat
ways of using winter squash
or pumpkins have never failed
to delight both friends and
family.

~ John Bailey
EmbracE tEchnology. Its
hard for many people, parents and
children alike, to go an hour without
being on the Internet. Families
looking to spend more quality time
together at the dinner table can now
make the most of their time and
their budget thanks to E-mealz.com,
a user-friendly online resource that
provides a variety of easy weekly
meal plans, complete with delicious
dinner recipes and a corresponding
grocery list that you just print
and go!
EmphasIzE thE ImportancE
oF dInnEr togEthEr. a healthy
breakfast is often referred to as the
most important meal of the day. but
families should recognize that eating
dinner together is just as essential to
building a strong family as breakfast
is to building a strong body.
dinnertime provides the perfect
opportunity for families to converse,
connect with and relate to each other
on a daily basis.
dinnertime can be family time, too
Instead of crowding your full plate, we think that
families should simplify, says Jane DeLaney, founder and
President of E-Mealz.com. Making time for a shared meal
around the dinner table means more time together ... more
enjoying, more embracing, more capturing moments, more
memories, more eternal perspective, and more refection.
It means more of all the things that truly matter.
bE EFFIcIEnt whEn
shoppIng For grocErIEs.
trips to the grocery store can
quickly turn into expensive
odysseys for unprepared
shoppers. since time is of the
essence for most families, be
sure to bring a grocery list
along on your next trip to the
grocery store. a well planned
list can drastically reduce time
and money spent at the store,
which only leaves more time
for the family and money in
your pocket.
t
odays families are busier and more budget
conscious than ever. With kids more engrossed in
extracurricular activities and Mom and Dad fghting
to make ends meet in a still struggling economy, time
spent together as a family is increasingly scarce.
Perhaps nowhere is that more evident than around the
dinner table. Only one in fve families sit down to dinner
together, with many instead grabbing meals on the go or
choosing fast food. Neither option is especially healthy or
cost-conscious. But there are ways even the busiest families
can enjoy a healthy meal together without breaking the bank.

Eat Seasonal Foods
Nature works in harmony with our
bodies by producing foods that help
us to maintain balance. The autumn
harvest is full of vitamins and minerals that are
high in both Vitamin C and Beta Carotene.
These foods also assist in detoxifcation and
digestion, which are necessary for maintaining
a healthy immune system. Squash, pumpkin,
carrots, and cruciferous vegetables, such as
caulifower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts,
are among those that are plentiful during the
autumn months. Additionally, apples work to
cleanse the digestive system and offer immune
boosting benefts from their soluble
fber content.
Cook or Supplement with
Specifc Herbs and Spices
There is a wide variety of herbs
and spices that help the body to fght and
prevent infections. Garlic, Rosemary, and
Oregano all possess strong antibacterial and
antiviral abilities. They can be prepared
and added to meals, taken in the form of
supplements, or even steeped into a hot
tea. Spices such as Ginger and Turmeric
can also be very effective due to their anti-
infammatory benefts. Furthermore, curcumin,
a polyphenol antioxidant found in Turmeric,
offers strong fu and cold-fghting properties.

Use Lubricating Oils
The heat from the summer months
leads the body to a state of dryness
during the fall and winter. When the sinus
cavities dry out, the body responds by creating
an excess amount of mucous, which is a
breeding ground for bacteria and infections.
Adding healthy oils to the diet can help
to prevent the mucous membranes from
overreacting. Olive oil, coconut oil, sesame
oil, avocados, walnuts, and ground fax seed
are all excellent options for keeping the body
lubricated during the colder months.

Get Adequate Rest
and Relaxation
A regular routine or pattern of
sleep and rest is necessary in prevention of
illness during any time of the year. Lack of
sleep can make us more prone to illness by
compromising the immune system, as well
as the bodys natural fever reaction, which is
its primary way of fghting off an infection.
Additionally, the bodys natural detoxifcation
process takes place during the night and an
adequate amount of sleep will allow for toxins
to be fushed and removed.

THE GOOD LIFE Fall 2011
aurie Garrett is inspired by the
words of Gandhi, when he said,
Happiness is when what you
think, what you say, and what
you do are all in harmony.
As a certifed yoga instructor and massage
therapist, Garrett believes that deep-down
happiness comes from being in tune with your
body, and fnding a sense of unity between
body and soul.
Garrett has made it her mission to help
people understand their bodies and discover
the calming, centering power of breathing
well. The Yoga Room is located just north of
Lancaster, not far from Lancaster Airport.
Nine years ago, it was Garretts dream to
create a studio where students can practice and
experience Hatha Yoga in a clean, quiet and
inspiring atmosphere. That dream has come
true. At The Yoga Room, men and women
of all ages, from teens to senior citizens,
discover what Gandhi meant when he spoke
of happiness.
People tell me they feel whole and balanced
during and after yoga, says Garrett. Thats
what yoga is all about, not just about stretching
into postures.
There are some people who may never be
able to sit cross-legged with their feet on their
upper thighs. Some people may waver and
have a challenge maintaining their balance.
But everyone who tries yoga will discover that
they have abilities they never knew they had.
According to the Himalayan Institute in
Honesdale, Pa., the word yoga comes from
the Sanskrit word for yoke or to unite. The
implication is that yoga joins or integrates
all aspects of the individual body, mind
and soul to achieve a happy, balanced and
spiritual life.
While yoga may be excellent exercise for all
ages and abilities, it is more of a philosophy
than anything. The yoga sutras emphasize
principles of non-violence, truthfulness, not
stealing, purity, contentment, practice of
the postures, breath control, concentration,
meditation and a state of higher consciousness.
Yoga is very much about breathing properly
and getting oxygen throughout the body,
says Garrett. Breathing is one of the very frst
things we teach. She points out that many
people tend to take quick, shallow breaths,
which increase tension. Deep, controlled
breathing effectively creates a sense of calm
and spreads the benefts to every body cell.
Perhaps the best part of yoga is that
everyone can do it. The breathing and
stretching can be benefcial to people who are
overweight, have health issues, are older, under
a lot of stress, have trouble sleeping or even
pregnant women who want a well-balanced
form of exercise that gives them an inner
calmness.
Garrett studied yoga at the White Lotus
Foundation in Santa Barbara, California,
and teaches a Vinyassa style yoga, as well as a
Gentle Restorative class. Her Vinyassa classes
are offered at three levels. Level I for the new
student, Level II for the seasoned student and
an All Level class that allows new students to
challenge themselves and seasoned students to
slow down a little.
Instructors at The Yoga Room also include
Gelia Benzon who came to yoga as an older
student and studied at Kripalu Center for
Yoga & Health in Lennox, Mass.; Michele
Zerbey is certifed as a Kripalu yoga teacher,
registered through National Yoga Alliance
and teaches pregnancy classes; and Jennifer
Villella, a certifed Hatha yoga teacher through
The Living Yoga Program who is registered
through Yoga Alliance.
Yoga classes include intro to yoga, gentle
yoga, Level I, Level II and gentle restorative
yoga. There are also private yoga classes and
personal training. A single class is as little as
$15, while a private class can be $70. There are
also class cards, ranging from fve classes for
$60 to 20 classes for $180.
In addition to yoga, Garrett is a certifed
massage therapist, offering healing massage
techniques such as Myofascial Release
Therapy, Prenatal Massage, Thai Yoga
Massage, Swedish, Neuromuscular Therapy,
Polarity, Reiki and Connective Tissue.
People come in here stressed and with
aches and pains. By the time they leave, they
have a whole new perspective, says Garrett.
Thats what yoga is all about.

Baths or contemporary spas and with every

offcial municipality for what the world
knows as Berkeley Springs, was named an
Historic District on the National Register
of Historic Places. In 2006, Berkeley
Springs was named a WV certifed Historic
Preservation Community.
The Story of Berkeley Springs
Berkeley Springs, a fountainhead of
warm mineral waters frequented by Native
Americans long before Europeans arrived
in the New World, are at the heart of a
mountain spa community in West Virginias
Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine
Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas
Jeffersons father, the waters for many
centuries have drawn visitors seeking health
and relief from the stress of everyday life.
In 1776, George Washingtons family and
friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the
streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath,
invoking the muses of the renowned English
spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed,
and the town and surrounding area are
known by their name Berkeley Springs.
Friendly people, welcoming mountains,
and a sense of place mark Berkeley Springs,
West Virginia as a vacation getaway
for all seasons and tastes.

the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You
may still drink freely and fll your jugs at
Lord Fairfaxs public tap, and wade in the
ancient stone pools in the nations smallest
state park. The town has endured cycles
of notoriety, fashion, war and modern
progress, but remains the Countrys First
Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by
West Virginias splendid outdoors.
A Tradition of Arts & Culture
In Berkeley Springs today art, culture
and history are routinely part of daily life,
considered essential for the communitys
well-being. There is an award-winning arts
council, several galleries and a community
of more than 125 working artists, musicians
and authors with more settling here daily.
Berkeley Springs is reliably listed as one of
the top art towns in America in books and
national magazines. It is West Virginias
frst certifed arts town.
The lively arts and culture scene includes
a vintage movie theater, history museum,
active historical society, public library, quilt
group and several community performance
organizations including a concert band,
choir and theater group. The award-
winning Morgan Arts Council produces
gallery shows and Artwalks. Local artists
stage two studio tours a year, in spring

n apple a day, or maybe one for
breakfast, lunch, dinner and
snack time.
Autumns apple is packed
with antioxidants, favonoids, pectin and
phytochemicals, which means apples really
do have health benefts that can prevent cell
damage, fght infammation, aid in digestion
and reduce the risk of diseases such as cancer,
heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure,
cataracts, osteoporosis, and urinary tract
infections.
Another element found in apples that is
less familiar is quercetin. This little-known
type of favonoid is mainly found in apples,
onions and black tea, and has the ability to
counteract destructive free radicals that are
associated with cancer, heart attacks, asthma,
eye diseases, Chrohns disease, gout and
acid refux.
Apples have no fat, cholesterol or sodium.
So, the old wives tale that an apple a day
keeps the doctor away might just have
some merit.
At any rate, apples are tasty. They are
perfect in pies, of course. But apples have
lots of other roles, such as in breakfast apple
pancakes or lunchtime apple, chicken and
cranberry salad. For dinner, how about a
French-inspired chicken and apple dish. And
what could be more appealing than the simple
pleasure of a baked apple, flled with raisins,
pecans, cinnamon and brown sugar?
Here in Lancaster County, there are many
varieties of apples, ranging from the classic
sweetness of the Delicious to the tart zip of
the McIntosh to the refreshing crispness of
the Gala.
The type of apple you use is important.
Red Delicious and Honeycrisp are wonderful
for snacking and salads, but dont have the
juiciness for baking or apple sauce. Try
Cortland, Jonathan or Stayman. A few apples
are ideal for just about everything, like the
Nittany, Fuji, Braeburn and Granny Smith.
Its fun to mix it up a bit, with apples that
have different favors, textures and colors. Try
a classic apple crisp that combines sweet-
tart Ginger Gold, honey-tart Jonagold
and crimson red Rome with its crisp juicy
characteristics.
One of the best ways to fnd out which
apples appeal to you is to taste them. Check
out the Harvest Festival at Landis Valley
Museum, your favorite local farm market,
Central Market or the produce section of
supermarkets such as Stauffers of Kissel Hill.
At places like Cherry Hill Orchards you can
actually sample apple varieties.
Written by LAURA KNOWLES
Apples are great for snacking too. A few simple ideas
include apple slices with peanut butter or caramel,
crackers and Cheddar cheese topped with an apple slice,
apples mixed with yogurt and granola and chopped apples on
cereal. Then put an apple a day into your life with all the ways
you can enjoy apples this fall.

Getting back to your Pennsylvania Dutch roots
is really a snap thanks to the new age company
Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
If you remember the days of drinking homemade
root beer with grandma and grandpa, Art in the
Age offers an adult version they call ROOT, which is
an organic American spirit that is sure to tantalize your
taste buds into thinking youre back on the farm relaxing
after a day of fall harvesting.
If youre yearning for the taste of grandmas special
lebkuchen (genuine Pennsylvania Dutch ginger snaps), look
no farther. Art in the Age offers SNAP, an organic spirit made
with blackstrap molasses and fresh ginger.
ROOT, a true pre-temperance alcoholic root tea, and SNAP are
just whats needed to make your fall entertaining something your
guests will remember. Serve up a special blend of ROOT cider for those
who prefer a seasonal harvest drink. Those who are partial to the favor
of ginger will have a hard time turning down a freshly baked lebkuchen
accompanied by a SNAP cocktail or caramel. With drinks in hand, sit back
and let the reminiscing from days gone by begin!
Either spirit can be enjoyed as a shot or mixed with other alcohol. Both
spirits are superior to favored vodkas and sweet liqueurs. Your friends are sure
to offer a cheer of Nix besser, a Pennsylvania Dutch rendition of none better!
Visit www.artintheage.com for tasty recipes for all seasons.
You may not fnd ROOT and SNAP at every state store, but the company has made
it easy to get. The spirits can be ordered online from the companys website.

THE GOOD LIFE Fall 2011
ts easy to imagine The Log Cabin as a secret speakeasy,
nestled in the forest and hidden away from those pesky
prohibitionists.
Thats just part of the intriguing history behind one of
Lancasters most iconic restaurants, The Log Cabin. For a
while, it looked like that heritage might fade away, lost in
the woods and meadows that have surrounded the dining spot
for decades.
We couldnt let that happen, says general manager Linda
Eshleman, who now owns The Log Cabin with her husband,
Chef David Eshleman.
The Eshlemans reopened The Log Cabin in the Spring of
2011. The place is close to their hearts. Its where they frst met
in 1996 when Linda was a bartender and server, and David was
the chef. They worked for Charles DiSantis, who owned The Log
Cabin for decades.

THE LOG CABIN
We wanted to keep the original feel and bring back a sense
of nostalgia. Thats what The Log Cabin is all about,
Fall 2011 THE GOOD LIFE
63
So, when Linda found out that The Log
Cabin was about to be auctioned, she decided
to recruit her husband, as well as Kirk and Pam
Liddell, to save her beloved restaurant.
Im not the only one who loved The Log
Cabin. Ever since we announced that we were
reopening, people have been coming up to tell
us how thrilled they are, says Linda.
The two are not newcomers to restaurant
ownership. Married for 12 years, the Eshlemans
owned the Meritage in downtown Lancaster
for eight years. After that, David worked as a
banquet chef at Hershey Lodge. It was with
some trepidation that the new owners began an
overwhelming renovation project.
We wanted to keep the original feel and
bring back a sense of nostalgia. Thats what The
Log Cabin is all about, explains Linda.
The charming covered bridge known as the
Kissing Bridge, is still there. So is the original
log structure and the vast collection of artwork.
Yes, dont worry, the artwork is still here,
says Linda, adding that it might be rearranged
somewhat.
There are as many as 70 pieces of original
and reproduction paintings ranging from classic
portraits to modern art, making The Log Cabin
something of an art gallery within a restaurant.
That might be part of the magical quality The
Log Cabin evokes, along with its wooded setting
on Lehoy Forest Drive. Overlooking a beautiful
pond and surrounded by rolling meadows, The
Log Cabin is shaded by towering trees that give
it a hideaway feeling.
Back in 1929, The Log Cabin was indeed
a hideaway, operating at a speakeasy during
Prohibition. The downstairs room is still pretty
much intact where the speakeasy was once
located.
Change wasnt their mission. The Eshlemans
wanted to keep the name and the cherished
ambience. They opened up some spaces to add
light, while making other spaces more intimate
and cozy. They added wood fooring in some
rooms and updated the tavern area.
Its a log cabin, so that was a huge part of our
renovations, said Linda.
In the main dining room, they exposed
the original log walls and replaced the white
chinking in between the logs. They removed
paint to show the breathtaking branch-like
beams in the ceiling, giving the room a elegantly
rustic treehouse feeling.
The menu focuses on fresh, local ingredients,
served with a twist. Thats a long way from the
sardines and beef tongue that were on the early
menus. In 1959, when DeSantis took over,
it became a steakhouse, known for steaks and
chops.
The Eshlemans decided to retain that aspect
of The Log Cabin with a grilled menu that
features the fnest flet mignon, lamb chops,
ribeye and pork chops and chicken. There
are also specialties from the Meritage, and
the Eshlemans make a point of shopping at
nearby farm markets for much of their seasonal
produce.
David believes that really good food should
stand alone, unencumbered by heavy sauces.
The appetizers include a refreshing crab
and avocado cocktail, grilled shrimp and an
American cheeseboard with Vermont Cheddar,
Maytag Bleu and Hudson Valley Camembert,
along with classic salads like the favorite
Caesar salad.
Some of the entrees are Atlantic Salmon with
mushrooms and leeks, Veal Scaloppini with
brandy mushroom sauce, braised Lamb Shanks
with saffron risotto, Rainbow Trout with lemon
and parsley brown butter and Duck Breast with
lentil ragout.
All new at The Log Cabin, the Eshlemans
have introduced their Sunday Brunch, a sit-
down brunch with a menu featuring Crab
Benedict, Huevos Rancheros, Petit Filet and
Grilled Shrimp.
With some 12,000-square-feet in the
sprawling building, The Log Cabin has plenty
of room for special occasions like rehearsal
dinners, birthday parties, business dinners
and receptions.
There was no way we could let The Log
Cabin fade away, says Linda.
