HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2009-02-12, Page 21She’s a designing woman, but notmany local people know it. For some time, Heather Logan of
Brussels has been running her
graphic design company, h creates,
from a downtown office. However,
with many of her clients in the
Kitchener and Cambridge area, her
business has been a bit of local
secret. Now, she’s trying to get the
word out.
Logan graduated from Conestoga
College’s graphic design program,
and worked in Cambridge for three
years. She established a client list
and did some freelance helped by
word of mouth.
She has designed corporate logos
for The Bull and Solace on
Turnberry. But it is what she has to
offer on a smaller scale that should
have the greatest appeal to area
residents.
From ads for publications and
vehicle graphics to promote
businesses, to stationery, brochures,
wedding invitations, thank you
cards, menus, favours and programs,Christmas cards and tickets,h creates will work within a budgetto design the right product for herclients. She is also currently in the processof adding web design to the service.
“I am taking some courses right now
and have done sites in the past.”
Working with Logan begins with a
consultation to go through the
specifics of what the client is
looking for.
“They will often come in with an
idea, but if not I make a suggestionand we go from there.”Logan said she likes to offer a fewoptions so clients have a choice.“Particularly with logos, becauseyou are hopefully sticking with thatforever. “
Once the design is settled, she
looks after the production and
printing of the product.
h designs can be reached Monday
to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by

Challenge: Getting enough calcium and vitamin D to
maintain strong bones and protect against osteoporosis
Solution:Women 19-50 years of age should consume 1000 mg of calcium and 5
ug (200 IU) of Vitamin D per day. Milk and milk products, such as cheese and
yogurt provide the most readily available source of calcium and other bone
building nutrients. Other sources include calcium-fortified beverages (soy, rice and
orange juice) tofu made with calcium sulfate, salmon and sardines with bones,
sesame seeds and almonds. Bok choy, kale and broccoli also provide calcium but
in smaller amounts. Vitamin D is found in fluid milk, eggs, fish and fish liver oils,
margarine as well as in soy and rice beverages fortified with vitamin D. Sunlight
on the skin can be a major source of vitamin D but is limited in Canada from
October to March and by use of sunscreens. To prevent osteoporosis women are
encouraged to get enough calcium, vitamin D and protein, limit caffeine, have
sodium in moderation, and keep active particularly with weight-bearing activity.
