Your Health and...
You
By Patty Minta, Nutrition Specialist
Make a list and stick to it.
Before you leave the house, make a list of the items
you need. A list makes it easier to focus on the foods
needed to complete each meal. Also, if you go to the
grocery store hungry, it is very easy to deviate from a
list, which usually results in extra grocery costs. By
planning meals out for the week, the list will be
complete and you will have everything you need.
Healthy
Healthy Shopping
Shopping
Healthy
Healthy Budget
Budget
he grocery store can be a confusing and often
overwhelming place with many different
products. Each product is marketed as if it is
the healthiest food on the shelf. Many people get so
caught up reading nutrition labels that they can forget
how expensive some of these items can be. Here are
some tips on how to buy healthy foods that won’t break
the bank:
Shop the perimeter of the grocery store for most
foods. This is usually where all the fruits, vegetables,
meats and dairy are stored. Many foods inside the aisles
of the store are processed and usually cost more per
serving. The food to choose inside the aisles would be
dried beans, whole grain pastas, high fiber cereals,
whole grain breads and nuts. The produce is cheapest
now, so take advantage of the variety at great prices.
Look on the top or the bottom shelves for the
healthy foods. Grocery stores usually make the most
money off purchases at eye level so the healthy foods
are slightly harder to find. Be sure to scan the entire
aisle for the right products.
T
Shop at farmer’s markets or farm stands.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are a great find at these
ever-popular shopping markets. Be sure to take
advantage of these local hotspots because they are only
open part of the year, and they offer produce that is
fresh, in season and cost-effective. (Frozen produce can
be a good winter alternative as long as it doesn’t have
added sugar or sauces.)
Try to avoid pre-packaged items.
Although slightly easier to prepare, pre-packaged
items are full of sodium and preservatives in addition to
the higher ticket price. For instance, the cost of a serving
of plain rice out of the bag is about $0.10, whereas the
boxed rice is about $0.83 a serving. It is more
economical to eat a plate of meat, potato, and vegetables
made from scratch (about $1.80-$2.10 a serving) than it
is to buy a frozen dinner (about $2.50-$3.00 a box on
average).
Many people have the misconception that shopping
for healthy items is too expensive. Consider that a bag
of organic apples may be $3.99 or $4.99, containing
about 7 to 8 apples, while a bag of potato chips can be
$3.50 to $3.99, as well, and usually only provides about
2 to 3 realistic servings. The nutritional content and
realistic servings for each bag is drastically different,
but the price is not.
When stores have certain brands on sale, they
usually offer the original item in addition to its healthier
counterpart. Cutting coupons is still a great way to save
your money, too. Don’t forget that even the smallest
savings can add up. Saving $10 a week can lead up to
over $500 savings in food costs over one year.
By taking a healthy look at the foods we eat, and by
taking a little time to pre-plan our meals and our
shopping list, we will serve more nutritious, economical
meals.

The Growing Place
make a difference with a garden
Keep Your
Flowering Plants
Looking Their Best
his spring has given us some glorious days
filled with flowers. Now the goal is to keep
them looking their best. A little snip here
and there goes a long way.
I like to step outside in the
morning with my cup of
coffee and a scissors or
pruners. For some
perennials it means cutting
back the spent flowers to
an intersection on the stem
near the mass of leaves and
waiting for next year’s
blooms. For other
perennials, cutting back
encourages a second
bloom. While for others,
like Calamintha and
Penstemon, leaving them
alone is best. The seed
pods will look nice and
often feed the birds.
We call the process of removing spent flowers,
dead-heading. A few of the perennials that will rebloom after dead-heading are Daisies, Delphinium,
Coral Bells, Salvia, Nepeta and some Daylilies.
Other perennial flowering plants will look much
better if the spent flowers are cut back to an
intersection within the main body of the plant. Don't
just snip off the spent flower or you will have empty
stems. Some of the perennials that will not re-bloom
but benefit from dead-heading are Peonies, Siberian
T
Forget-me-nots, Iris, and many Daylilies.
Flowering shrubs that bloom in the spring
include Lilacs, Fragrant Viburnums, and
Rhododendrons are best pruned up to two weeks
after they finish blooming but no later. If you haven’t
pruned them yet, it should still be okay as flowers
were a bit later this year. They set their flower buds
for next spring during this summer’s growing season
so any pruning done in the summer or fall will affect
next year's blooms.
Annuals keep blooming most of the season and
many do not need
anything but consistent
water and a bit of
fertilizer. There are some
that will benefit from a
little maintenance.
Petunias will bloom more
if the spent flowers as well
as the seed pods are
removed down to the
intersection. You can also
cut Lantana seed pods off
at the intersections.
Geranium flowering stems
can be snapped off where
you see a bulge at the
intersection. Other
annuals that bloom better
when dead-headed
include Marigolds and Cosmos.
Speaking of water, be sure to water slowly and
deeply so that it soaks deep into the soil as soon as it
dries out to encourages lush growth. But remember,
some plants prefer it dry, so in that case, less is best.
You can over-water by not letting the soil dry out
under the surface between watering so always check
the soil before watering. A little mulch will keep the
weeds down and the moisture levels more constant,
but be sure not to bury the bases of plants in mulch.

August 1 - Varsity Rush Naperville - Fast.
Fit. Fun. Varsity Rush combines the fun and
excitement of obstacle racing with
traditional sports. With obstacles and
challenges like Flying Kick, Hoop Dreams,
High Hurdles, and the Touchdown Toss, this
fun and exciting course helps educate kids
and families about the joys of athletics,
while getting out and experiencing them
themselves. Whether its reliving glory days
on the grid iron, or simply enjoying some
fun in the sun while being active with
friends and family Varsity Rush has
something for the whole family.
Varsity Rush takes pride in giving back to
the community. When you register for
Varsity Rush you will be given an option to
donate to either the school districts, or to
Turning Point, a non-profit organization
dedicated to helping young adults and
families with autism. We thank you ahead of
time for supporting us as we work to help
raise awareness, and money, to aid in the
futures of these two important groups of
young people. Location of event is at
Frontier Park, 3380 Cedar Glade Road,
Naperville. For more information visit

Focus
on
Safety
Preparing Yourself and Your
Kids in Case They Get Separated
Summer is finally here!
Summer brings summer vacations and traveling for
many. My family and I recently had the pleasure of
visiting Orlando, Florida—a.k.a. theme park central!
While visiting one of the crowded theme parks
waiting for my little kiddos to get done playing on an
attraction, I witnessed a young child in obvious
distress because he couldn’t find his parents. While
he was quickly reunited with his parents, it got me
thinking of what safety measures parents and
caregivers can take before they go into a crowded
place with their children.
Have a plan and reinforce the plan. Ask your children,
“What will you do if you become separated from
me?” Where would you go?
Have a meeting place and teach your kids to stay
where they are and not to wander.
Ask them, “Who is the safe adult to approach for
help?”
In the ideal world this would be a police officer,
security guard, or an employee, but children often
times panic. Have them look for another mom with
By Julie Smith
children as an option. I have yet to meet another
mom who wouldn’t help a child.
Most of us now have the ability to take a picture of
our children on our phones so utilize this function! A
current photo of your child with an accurate clothing
description is invaluable.
Dress your child in easily identifiable clothing that is
bright and easy to spot. Add other identifiable
accessories (bright hair accessories, fun watch,
reflective stripes, etc.) that will help you or law
enforcement quickly scan a crowd for a child.
Have identification on your child including their
name, your name, immediate contact information,
local address, home address, and any other
immediate information that would be beneficial to an
adult helping your child locate you.
It only takes a moment for a child to become
separated. Whether you’re at Ribfest, Centennial
Beach or Disney; prepare and plan ahead.

Tips for Summer Maintenance and Curb Appeal
Remember to cut your grass, trim your bushes and parkway trees
and weed your garden on a regular basis throughout the summer
growing season.
Mow your lawn to the right height. Set your mower to cut about three
inches off the ground. Longer turf will retain more moisture and better
shade the soil so the roots won't get dry. The shade helps to keep out
crabgrass. Tall grass is greener and more attractive. It also helps to mitigate brownouts that are common during the
dog days of summer.
With your tree’s branches once again covered with leaves, we tend to focus on other parts of our landscape
during the summer including lawns and gardens. Trees still need care buy trimming and fertilizing.
It is amazing by the number of homeowners, including those using professional landscaping services who
continue with “volcano mulching” of their trees and shrubs. Volcano mulching is the practice of piling mulch up
around the trunks of trees and not leaving room for proper airflow around the base of the trunk. By the mulch
trapping moisture around the tree base, the bark gets soft and this allows for the intrusion of fungi, bacteria and
viruses that can harm your tree. It also provides a convenient point of entry for insects and varmints who will take
advantage of the softer bark and gain access to the tastier (and nutrient laden) inner parts of the tree that carry food
and water up and down between the roots, branches and leaves.
Instead of “volcano mulching,” use mulch rings that will protect the tree from mowers and string trimmers, but
which also will leave an open area around the base of the tree to allow moisture to evaporate and keep the trunk
healthy.
Mulch rings should be 2” to 3” deep and extend out two to three feet (or for larger trees, to the drip line). Keep
the mulch away from the bark at the base – in the same way that you keep a mulch free zone under your rose
bushes. Remember – proper mulching allows the “flare” at the base of the trunk to be open to the air.
