WELLNESS CONTINUES IN IMPORTANCE TO ROTARY CLUB OF AUSTINTOWN For a second week, wellness was the topic of speakers at the Rotary Club of Austintown. Last week's speaker was "Mr. Wellness" Butch Temnick, and this week Kincaid Early from the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Eastern Ohio continued this topic. Though her agency services 11,000 clients in 38 counties, her emphasis was on a healthy lifestyle at any age and the power of positive attitude. "You can be well with a chronic disease", Early emphasized. She stressed: 1. right choices and right skills - we can only have control over ourselves, not others. 2. importance of setting goals and making them public so others remind you. 3. positive thinking = better health 4. exercise is beneficial and healthy, at any age. A strong body builds a strong mind.
