Holistic health derives from the ancientconcept that people should take care of theirwell-being as a whole—mind, body and spirit—as opposed to treating each individually. Often,people use “holistic,” “sustainable” or “local”interchangeably to describe this lifestyle. All inall, it encompasses an idea of healthier living.Barry Kaplan, co-owner of Everything Nat-

ural in Clarks Summit, will host the annualHolistic Health Fair on Saturday, Jan. 24 from11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the store, 426 S. State St.,Clarks Summit. Through this fair, he hopes tospread the knowledge of how to live a healthier,wholly inclusive lifestyle.“We are beings that function in a complete

environment,” Kaplan said. “There’s a conven-tional approach to health where people thinksymptomatically and, rather than dealing withcreating well-being and a well body, they arejust trying to be symptom free. Holistic healthaddresses the whole person and nurtures andnourishes one’s being so that it includes thebody and other areas of their life as well.”Having grown concerned with the health is-

sues attributed to the state of the meat industry,Kaplan decided to become a vegetarian in the1960s. Soon after, he developed his interest inorganic farming and lowering his impact on theplanet.“At first, I didn’t do any research or do any-

thing to learn about nutrition or how to behealthy,” he said. “It didn’t take me long tofigure out that just not eating meat or fish wasnot enough to be healthy. That brought meinto studying nutrition and learning more aboutwhat it is to be healthy.”Through his study of nutrition and holistic

health, Kaplan eventually became a part of Ev-erything Natural which he believes to be morethan the average health food store; it’s a naturallifestyle store.“We have a whole lot more than just food

products,” he said. “We give people tools andinformation, we share information that helpsthem lead healthier, happier lives and of coursepart of that, a big part of that, is wholesomefood, organic food, natural food free from tox-ins or pesticides with optimal nutrition as wellas supplements that are useful to just being

healthier.”His passion for educating the public on ho-

listic health outgrew the original building andEverything Natural moved to a larger locationbig enough to host events like the HolisticHealth Fair.“We moved into this building in 2003 and

one of the reasons we moved into our currentlocation is that it enabled us to offer seminarsand not only more variety of products and

Green SceneA column by the Clarks Summit Shade

Tree Commissionby Joshua ArpSPECIAL TO THE ABINGTON SUBURBAN

When dealing with your landscape, itis essential that you perceive it as an eco-system. Surprisingly, however, the subter-ranean ecosystem is arguably more robustthan the one you see outside your window.In 1994, writing in the Journal of Environ-mental Quality, JamesB. Beard and Robert L.Green explained thata case can be madefor preferring turfgrassto woodlands, sincewoodlands have re-duced shoot and rootdensity. Intuitively,we might expect amonoculture such asturfgrass to have a lim-ited species interac-tion. Beneath a lawn,ecological activity isrobust — its micro-bial biomass is greaterthan both arable andforest ecosystems and,most likely, unman-aged grasslands. Beardand Green wrote that“the turfgrass ecosys-tem also supports adiverse communityof nonpest invertebrates.” Here we com-monly think of earthworms and, in termsof ecology, we visualize the robins thatpluck them. However, the earthworms arefeeding on the microbial biomass, startingthe food chain, and simultaneously in-creasing the amount of macropore spacewithin the soil. Many people pay annuallyto have their clay soils mechanically aer-ated, hoping to increase their soil’s waterinfiltration rates and water-retention ca-pacity. By the way, the same freeze/thawcycles that destroy our roads and thealignment of our cars also aerate our soil.How many people think of caring for thenon-pest invertebrates that both aerateour soil and nourish it with their castings?Many people in pursuing that manicuredlawn never give a thought as to whethertheir pesticide applications and chemical

fertilizations are harming these non-pestinvertebrates. In fact, in the case of ourbodies, if we were able to eliminate allnon-pest life from our skin we would die.An additional example of soil ecol-

ogy is found in the symbiotic, or mutu-ally beneficial, relationship between fungicalled mycorrhizae and plant roots. Innatural soils, the fungi are present, but in

fumigated (use of heavypesticides) soils, theirnumbers decline and sodoes plant vitality. Therelationship betweenplant vitality and my-corrhizae starts under-ground, but is apparentabove the ground. Stud-ies have shown thatinoculating roots withbeneficial fungi bringsabout positive changesin root morphology,such as increasing wa-ter and mineral absorp-tion. The changes inthe roots bring aboutchanges in the shoots,so disease and droughtresistance, as well asgrowth, and yields allincrease in plants inoc-ulated with the mycor-rhizae.

Less than two hours away in Kutztown,there is an organic farm at the nationally-known Rodale Institute. Since 1947, TheRodale Institute’s motto, “Healthy soilequals healthy food equals healthy peo-ple,” has guided their research and prac-tices. You can take a self-guided tour ofthis beautiful farm built upon the priorityof caring for its soil.As you think about your own land-

scape, therefore, think about the entireecosystem. Are you caring for the littlestgardeners?

What started as one woman’s way towish her nieces and nephews a happybirthday has now become the corner-stone for a new publishing house in ClarksSummit.WoodlandWay is the brainchild of hus-

band-and-wife duo Jim McVety and SarahDawgert. Originally conceived as a way topublish Sarah’s sister Catherine’s books,the publishing house is poised to continueadding more and more children’s titles toits catalog.“Catherine’s books were so exquisite-

ly drawn and thoughtfully told that wethought this was a gift that many peopleshould have,” McVety said. “Too often,these themes aren’t reinforced in children’sliterature. The big trend has been towardhigh profile characters that can generaterevenue across multiple types of media.Large publishing companies appropriatelylook to maximize their revenue opportu-nity. There’s nothing wrong with that butwe’ve found that a lot of those lose sight ofwhy they got started in the first place.”

Woodland Way will participate in theannual Holistic Health Fair at EverythingNatural, 426 S. State St., Clarks Summit,this Saturday, Jan. 24, from 1-2 p.m. withreadings and children’s crafts. One of thebooks that will be read, “A,B,C, Disgust-ing,” written and illustrated by CatherineDawgert, won the 2014 Moonbeam Chil-dren’s Book Award Gold Medal for BestIllustrator.“As we thought about the kind of books

we wanted to produce in the long term,we thought about key themes that areespoused in our books: kindness, respect,empathy, resilience and laughter,” McVetysaid. “As we thought about Catherine’sbooks and our future goals, we wantedthem to capture those themes.”McVety credits his sister-in-law’s

unique illustrations, which use a marbletechnique, with making Woodland Way’sbooks special for their readers.“It is our way of respecting kids by creat-

ing a carefully crafted story with art workthat is exceptional — kids deserve that,”he said.Visit woodlandway.com for more infor-

SportS

by Dave LaurihaABINGTON SUBURBAN WRITER

James Fayocavitz had tried manysports before entering high school atAbington Heights but little did he real-ize what he was getting into when then-Comets head wrestling coach ChrisCalder became his homeroom teacher in2012.Calder saw something in the fresh-

man and decided to give his full salespitch to get Fayocavitz to try out for thewrestling team for the 2011-’12 schoolyear.It has all worked out fairly well for

Fayocavitz who, as a senior, has accumu-lated three District 2 Class AAA medalsand two appearances in the Class AAANortheast Regionals for the Comets.That’s a lot of success for a neophyte

wrestler who had not considered thesport before he drew Calder as his home-room teacher.“This is my fourth year. I started in

my freshman year,” Fayocavitz said. “Myhomeroom teacher was the wrestlingcoach and he kept bothering me aboutit, so I thought I’d try it. I’ve been doingit ever since.”Suffice it to say, there were a lot of

hard knocks that first year, with Fayo-cavitz going into the wrestling seasonwith little knowledge about what wouldawait him in the practice room, no ex-pectations of success, just curiosity aboutwhy he agreed to come out for the sport.“I had no clue what I was getting

into,” Fayocavitz said. “I had no cluewhat the sport even was, and I just start-ed to like it. It’s probably the hardestsport I’ve ever participated in.”That says a lot about someone who

has played football and hockey, as wellas baseball, where the senior is primarilya second baseman who hopes to play incollege at Misericordia University.“Wrestling is the toughest, by far,”

Fayocavitz said. “You have to be mental-ly strong for it, and physically, it’s proba-bly the most physically demanding sportI’ve played. The conditioning you need

to go six minutes of a full-out sprint.”That’s a far cry from his time on

the baseball diamond, where one hastime between pitches to think aboutwhat needs to be done and how to doit. Wrestling requires more thinking onthe fly, sensing when the right time is totry a move without exposing oneself to acounterattack by an opponent.“It’s a different mentality, a different

way to approach the sport,” Fayocavitzsaid.But he has adapted well in his rela-

tively short time in the sport, as his nat-ural athletic ability has come in handy.Wrestling in the Class AAA level,Fayocavitz has come away with District2 medals in all three years he has partic-ipated in the sport, gaining third-placemedals as a junior at 126 pounds and asa sophomore at 120, as well as a sixth-place medal at 113 when he was a fresh-man in the 2011-’12 season.Many times over the years, he has

been facing wrestlers with a lot more ex-

perience in the sport.“Some of them [my opponents] have

been wrestling since they were five orsix,” Fayocavitz said. “I just stuck to whatmy coaches taught me in the beginning,stuck to what I knew, and proceeded totry to score as many points as possible.”“He’s athletic, a talented kid who

works hard,” said Steve Peters, who isin his first year as head varsity wrestlingcoach for Abington Heights. “It’s toughto be new to a sport at the varsity, be-cause he’s going to be competing againstkids who have done it their whole life.”Trying to build a style meant a lot of

hard work for Fayocavitz, but his districtmedals prove he has been successful inthat pursuit. With the attitude of tryingto score as many points as possible, thesenior considers himself a stronger of-fensive wrestler.“Defensively, I’m not as strong at

that. If I was able to, I would, but I don’thave a lot of defensive moves,” Fayo-cavitz said. “My defense is to keep at-

tacking and not give them any chanceto score points.”Peters is seeing progress as the senior

goes through the season, giving himhopes of being more competitive at re-gionals, where many of the state’s bestwrestlers are.“He is learning a lot of new tech-

niques,” Peters said. “In the beginning,there were just a few things he would do.He has broadened his horizons in termsof technique and that’s definitely helpedhim along.”His improved technique has given

Fayocavitz confidence that he can getback to regionals and perform better atthat level.“I’m hoping to go a little bit farther

in regionals this year,” said Fayocavitz,who was 0-2 at regionals last year. “I’veworked a lot on my takedown shot, andhave improved at that a lot, gotten bet-ter at that.”Adding a better takedown shot to go

along with his aggressive attitude thatprovided him points in many action-packed, high-scoring matches has thesenior and his coaches hoping for betterresults.“He was doing a lot of tilting, racking

up a lot of points on top,” Peters said.“Now, it’s a lot more diversity in his of-fense and defense.”By becoming a better, well-rounded

wrestler with the help and support of theentire Comets coaching staff, Fayocavitzbelieves he is prepared to give his bestshot at nabbing a district gold medal or aregional win or two.Fayocavitz has come a long way since

those days in homeroom as a freshman.

Hard Work Pays Off

more services, it gave us the opportunityto do classes, lectures, workshops and hostevents,” he said. “We had a hard time doingit in our previous location because it was somuch smaller. We have our own classroomand a yoga studio now.”The fair draws in people that are new to

holistic health as well as those that havebeen coming for years. The newcomersare often drawn in by the free screeningsoffered or are looking to make a healthierlifestyle change.“The screenings people really like; peo-

ple like to just keep tabs and monitor theirhealth and that’s a good thing. That willbring people that may be new to us or maybe just trying to improve their health, areconcerned about their health or are just do-ing maintenance,” he said. “At least basedon the past, we get people who have neverbeen to the store before or are searching forthe first time because of their health resolu-tions and need consistence or inspiration,or they’re just trying to make improve-ments. We also get people who have beeninvolved for a long, long time.”Clark’s Cultures, a local kombucha
