Kannaway’s Hemp Oil is derived from 100% legal non-GMO European industrial hemp, utilizing their proprietary extraction methods to extract the hemp oil from the mature stalk. The key to their proprietary extraction method is to achieve an “essential plant complex”, which is rich in cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, waxes and chlorophyll that are essential to the human body.

No MMJ card is needed and products can be legally purchased in all 50 states of America. Each batch of hemp oil undergoes their Triple Lab TestingTM, which includes three separate tests of their product harvest and final packaging for sale. They were the first in the industry to create testing processes like these, ensuring that every natural product they offer is free of contaminants and of the highest quality possible. The end result is that their Quality Guarantee ensures NO genetically modified ingredients, NO pesticides, NO herbicides, and NO chemical fertilizers. Intent on protecting the environment, Kannaway utilizes labs that provide quality analysis while maintaining an environmentally friendly, green approach.

By Maureen Whelan

Many parents believe that what their own children watch on TV, and play on gaming systems are strictly a parents’ preferential choice. While I agree with that in theory, I have also come to understand that what a child watches, how much they watch, and how they process what is seen is felt not only by the child, but by peers, teachers and acquaintances. I’m not sure where the breakdown is, as this seems like information that is readily available, but somewhere along the line we are failing our children if we do not only “monitor” but restrict what young, impressionable and developing brains see.

It is a general belief in human developmental fields, *children begin to understand fact vs. fiction at the age of 3.

Most of these studies include children observing cartoon like scenarios with make believe characters, such as fairies and trolls. However, there has been tremendous development in the field of animation, making many pretend characters appear real, interact with humans, and perform realistic activities. Suddenly the line is blurred. *There are studies that reveal children start demonstrating empathy and compassion as early as 12 months, such as, when they reach out in attempt to share their food. Around the age of 7 they gain a clearer understanding between right and wrong, and this continues to develop in a greater capacity through the age of 25. But when children are exposed to images of of violence, trauma, destruction and deception, and the perpetrator is rewarded for his deeds, the line is blurred yet again.

Recently I was working with a 4 year old boy who was acting out of his norm. Clingy, defiant and destructive behavior overtook this playful little boy. Clearly, something had changed. In conversation he told me he saw something scary. When I prodded a little further he told me that he “watched The Walking Dead with Daddy”.

Another student that I work with began having panic attacks and episodes of irrational fears at the age of 10.

He reports his favorite thing to do is watch YouTube videos. His peers share that they do this too, a popular one called “Five Nights of Freddie”. He also plays games such as Plants vs Zombies. I had to look these up to really understand what they were seeing, and my responses were gut wrenching. My heart was racing, my stomach in knots and my breathing changed. The images were nothing less than disturbing and I found myself needing time to reset. Thankfully, I have the foundation of skills to know that I needed to turn these images off. They were not making my body, my mind or my heart feel good.

I was able to remind myself that I was safe, that the images were not real, and I was able to return to believing that most people in this world are good. But children with repeated exposure to these images begin to identify with the characters. Children do not have secure coping skills to deal with these images, so their responses vary greatly.

They long to make connections with the what they are seeing. If they identify with the victim, they begin to share the trauma, pain and fear that the video victim experiences. If they identify with the aggressor they begin to feel as though people deserve harm, pain, revenge and suffering. Both have tremendous consequences on our society.

And as parents, when we allow our children to watch and respond to these images, we are sending a clear message that this is OK. The world we are raising our kids in is a difficult one. Adults should understand the dangers of being outside the home, the influences of strangers, and unsupervised activities. But when we allow our children to have unrestricted time and access to all that is online and in games, we are doing more harm.

We have just introduced the dangers of strangers, the influence of poor judgment and the intrigue of the unknown into our homes.

The person your child is playing online games with IS a stranger. The videos of people performing risky and stupid behavior has just been enticingly glamorized as your child sees how many others “like” this. The safety of the home is lost to the fear that your parents might actually be zombies in disguise. Trust is obscured and the message to make the moral choice is diminished.

Take back your homes. Make them havens of safety, nourishment and good. Use media wisely. If your 10 year old wants to watch “13 Reasons Why”, start with a conversation. What do they know about it? Have they ever discussed suicide with their friends? How would they feel if someone they know committed suicide? Have they ever felt hopeless? And by all means let them know that many people would be saddened and feel a tremendous loss if someone they knew committed suicide. If you are going to subject your child to graphic images, images they can’t “unsee”, view it first, alone. Take notice of your own responses, your head, your heart and your body, and know your child will feel all that and more.

nger Is da ne onlia g n i lurk ? child r u o for y

There are plenty of good resources, a favorite of mine being “Common Sense Media” (www.commonsensemedia.org ) Look at both the parent ratings and the children’s ratings. Many times the child rates it appropriate for an older age than the parents. Teach your children that if that they view something that makes them feel uneasy or confused, that they should talk to you. Children are curious beings, and will explore subject matters without understanding the impact or potential harm it will cause.

Teach them how to regulate their time, provide alternate tech-free activities, and positive experiences of human interaction to provide their developing brains, bodies and hearts what is needed.

“If there is any consensus, it is that conscience is a combination of head, heart and hand,” says Marvin Berkowitz, professor of character development at the University of Missouri, St. Louis.

“It is knowing the good, loving the good and doing the good. And that requires both cognitive and emotional components.”

Southern Rhode Island Boasts Historic Mansions, Gardens and Small-Town New England Charm

By Denise DiStephan

Historic mansions, oysters fresh from salt ponds and everything coming up azaleas are just a few of southern Rhode Island’s draws.

Another seafood gem on the waterfront in South Kingstown is Two Ten Oyster Bar and Grill. But this place gets extremely crowded on holidays, weekends, and any time URI is having any special event.

So try to visit at a non-peak time or plan on possibly waiting for a table.

Some of the most unique and spectacular attractions in the southern half of the Ocean State are the fabled mansions overlooking Easton Bay in Newport.

Nearby in Kingstown, a short hop from URI, is Kinney Azalea Gardens, 1381 Kingstown Rd., where visitors can stroll amid gorgeous bursts of multi-colored azaleas and rhododendrons. But to find this garden, you have to look for what appears to be a typical home with only a small sign announcing its name, making it easy to miss. Here is what the front looks like on Google maps http://bit.ly/2sdEhej

So far, I’ve visited only one: Marble House, built in the late 1800s for Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, the latter of whom retained the home after their divorce. She fancied herself a trailblazer for filing for divorce when it was hardly the thing to do among ladies of a certain stature back in the day. I learned that little tidbit, and many others, from the educational audio tour. Do not tour any of the mansions without either the audio or a guided tour (whichever is offered at the property you visit).

If you want to feel like a college kid going out for burgers and brews, look no further than Mew’s Tavern, a URI hangout in Wakefield that doesn’t skimp on good cooking and friendly service. If you love Frankie’s in Point Pleasant Beach, you’ll love Mews. My husband won’t go to RI without a visit to Mew’s to sample local craft beers and daily specials.

Around every turn in Marble House is another work of art, in frescos, moldings, paintings, sculptures, carved pieces of period furniture and draperies.

Just a little word to the wise: no matter how much you love the intricate, stunning lace of the curtains, don’t touch them or one of the docents will tell you not to (ask me how I know!).

For those who are, like me, not professional photographers, try to pick up a few tips before your road trip to RI about shooting in low light since the mansions are dimly lit.

Try to plan your Newport trip with a second, consecutive day to visit mansions: if you save your ticket and receipt, you’ll get a discount on Day Two. If your idea of getting to know a new place is strolling and shopping, then Newport’s Bowen’s Wharf, brimming with shops and art galleries, will be your idea of heaven. Finish the day with dinner at 22 Bowen’s Wine Bar and Grille. My daughter, a 20-year-old University of Rhode Island (URI) college student, rated Bowen’s as superior to the nearby Mooring where she had once dined with her aunt and uncle.

If you’d rather stay away from the bustling tourist areas, try dining at Matunuck Oyster Bar in South Kingstown. The menu has “farm to table” offerings and they’re not just talking veggies.

Oysters raised in a nearby pond are also served daily, in addition to produce grown in their own garden. You can taste the freshness in this expansive, comfortable restaurant overlooking the water.

What mature adults are saying about Dr. Tony’s Weight Loss Program:

Pain Relief, Too!

Medical doctor shocked

- Mike C., Wall

“I’ve been on the program for a month and lost 18-19 lbs.

I feel good and my knees feel better.”

- Jim, Point Pleasant

2 months, 25 lbs.

Ring The Bell

“I’ve lost over 25 lbs… I went to my MD and he weighed me 3 times because he didn’t believe the results.”

“I hit 30 pounds today and now I can enjoy my vacation!”

On April 23, 2015, I started Dr. Tony’s weight loss program. To my surprise, one week later I had dropped 12 pounds. After another week I was down another 10 pounds! Each week my weight continued to decrease, often by 5 to 7 pounds per week.

By the beginning of August I had lost a total of 65 pounds. This is an easy program because it has a structured plan. The diet’s detailed guidelines were not tough to digest, and the plan did not keep me from dining out occasionally. I felt satisfied by the food choices and options.

Sometimes people do not recognize me, as my entire body has been reshaped. My health has improved and I lost the weight without surgery, other interventions, or drugs. The diet program was simple, straight forward and efficient.

Learning the Ropes: First Crop Leaf Lettuce, Romaine, Spinach and Kale

by Steve DeJacimo

My Midwest (North Canton, Ohio) roots come out in many ways.

Gardening is definitely one of them. It’s in my blood. My Grandfather and my Father both planted large gardens, every year. We canned veggies. We shared with neighbors. They had cucumbers, but, we had extra tomatoes. And so forth.

compost mixed in, those plants grew like no one around us…..or, so it seemed. Compost. It is the difference maker. Little did I know how hip we were….and, we were organic before organic was cool.

Now, I do follow my Dad’s footsteps. Grandpa D, too! Oh, Happy Father’s Day, Dad! He reads every issue.

The tale of two dudes.

My current tip of the month — ­ Garden boxes. I use garden boxes to keep down weeds and keep the rodents out. They seem to do the trick.

I also thrown in an aluminum pie pan on a stick to rattle around to keep the birds away. All these little things lead to better looking and healthier crops.

My Grandpa would just stick plants everywhere. If it struck him to put in 7 tomato plants in the middle of three Hydrangeas, he did it. No one knew why. It’s just what he did. It was like a mixed bag. I found stuff all over his property. My Dad, on the other hand, we’ll call him the “Great Organizer”. He viewed gardening like a science and it had its specific spot and purpose. This wasn’t for looks. This was to feed the family.

No tomatoes by the Lilacs, or in between Hostas, oh no. He broke those chains. There would be none of that. His garden was a grand strand of beautifully laid out rows of veggie perfection. Corn, tomatoes, beans, peas, beets, carrots, squash, and much more. He was also a composter.

My first recollection was somewhere around 11 years old, when we dug our own compost pit, if you will. This was a 4ft. X 4ft. hole about 5 feet deep.

We put everything in there but the Cutlass Supreme. If it grew and we cut it down, it was going in! The bottom of that compost pile looked like hot tar on an August afternoon. And it stunk to high Heaven. But, with that

K July 2017

Tip #2 — Use zero pesticides. You don’t need them. Bugs will find any plant. But they can’t (usually) get to all of them. Plant more of what you like…right? Harvest the good stuff and compost the bad. It’s going to happen anyway. As you can see in the photos, the plants are healthy and vibrant. Not to mention, this Spring has been superb for rain vs. sun.

Almost a perfect mix for growing. I started everything from seed which were sown in on St. Patrick’s Day. I have done minimal weeding because of the garden boxes, and have had minimal bug and rodent problems.

Happy gardening. Now, go grow your own!

LETTUCE

“All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr A book review by Brian Favretto

Marie-Laure is a timid young girl who lives with her widowed father in Paris in the 1930’s. When she loses her eyesight at age 6, her father, the master locksmith at The Museum of Natural History in Paris, spends his time building a wooden scale replica of their neighborhood so that Marie-Laure can be independent. Apprehensive at first, she learns to navigate her way around the streets of Paris by memorizing, through her sense of touch, the replica that her father built for her. She passes her days at the museum with her father, and spends her evenings mastering braille to help fuel her love of books. When the Nazi’s occupy Paris, Marie-Laure, now 12, and her father flee to the safety of relatives in the protected city of St. Malo. Unbeknownst to Marie-Laure, they have been tasked by the museum to take with them a coveted blue diamond called the Sea of Flames, and to keep it out of the hands of the Nazis at all costs. The Sea of Flames is said to have the power of eternal life for its keeper, yet the promise of disaster for those close to his heart. Compelled to build a new model for Marie-Laure, her father wanders the streets of St. Malo making notes and taking measurements. This earns him being imprisoned for espionage, leaving Marie-Laure to care not only for herself, but also for her eccentric uncle who suffers from post traumatic stress caused by The Great War. Miles away, in a German mining town, Werner Pfennig and his sister Jutta are being raised in an orphanage when they stumble upon a broken radio.

To the benefit of the entire orphanage, Werner is able to fix the machine, providing countless hours of much needed entertainment, especially from a narrated program about science.

He develops a skill for fixing all types of radios, and is soon in high demand for his abilities, which land him an offer to attend an elite Nazi training school. Aware of the uprising the Nazis have spawned, Jutta tries to talk him out of accepting entry. “Is it right to do something only because everyone else is doing it?” she asks. Determined not to spend his days in a coalmine, he endures the horrors of the training school, and finds himself in an elite Wermacht unit that tracks down unapproved radio transmissions. Slowly he comes to realize the foresight of his younger sister.

In “All the Light We Cannot See”, Anthony Doerr keeps the reader focused and entranced by jumping back and forth in time, and alternating chapters between these two main characters. He uses science, good fortune, and inherent human goodness to cross the paths of Marie-Laure and Werner in a most unconventional way. In the midst of one of history’s darkest times, Doerr shows that if we listen to our conscience just a bit more, taking even the smallest stand against something immoral can have dramatic effects. He highlights the damaging effects of our hunger for power. If possessing the Sea of Flames represents power, we can be immortal once we have it, but in our quest for power we hurt those around us. Doerr also creates two characters who show the reader what it means to suffer patiently through our troubles.

Marie-Laure and Werner patiently persevere through blindness, cruelty and loss, and they are able to endure the horror of a conflict that they had nothing to do with. This story left me grateful that I wasn’t one of the thousands of children who had to deal with this as a reality.

“All the Light We Cannot See” is a wonderfully written, heart-wrenching tale. Thank you to Anthony Doerr for the multitude of brief chapters, but as the story neared its end, it became fastpaced and increasingly difficult to put the book down. As several races are being run at the same time, I found myself cheering for more than one winner. Be sure not to gloss over the amazing chapter called “The Simultaneity of Instants”, which was one of the most thought-provoking passages I’ve read in quite some time. “All the Light We Cannot See” is available in all our local libraries, so reserve your copy and be ready to cheer for Anthony Doerr.

Rusted Root | Secret Sound | The Stone Pony | April 28th, 2017

by Steve DeJacimo

This may be the most biased music story you have ever read, but at least I am telling you in advance. I’m a huge fan of Rusted Root since the early nineties when I saw them in a small bar called JB’s Down in Kent, Ohio. They are from Pittsburgh. I won’t hold that against them.

So, as any fan would, after the opening band, Secret Sound, who was excellent, I weaseled my way up front and dead center to see one of my favorite folk/rock/ funk/world music bands. To the left, the beautiful sounds of a Patrick Norman 5-string funky bass. To the right, Liz Berlin with her washboard, pennywhistle and her beautiful vocals. Up front and center and leading the musical montage with his one of a kind tone and laser focused guitar playing, is Rusted Root founder, singer/songwriter, Mike Glabicki.

They wove their hits in and out of the set list like a musical tapestry. “Ecstasy”, “Send me on my Way”, “Martyr” and many more…(see set list photo). Yes. When you stand all the way up front, the roadies give you set lists. Bonus!

So fast forward 27 years, Rusted Root proves that if you love your craft, you can sell 3 million records, tour relentlessly and seem just as cool and fresh as you were back in the day. They seem to keep that quality intact. And the Rusted Root music keeps rolling on down the road to the next venue. Check them out when you can.

What was most surprising was the opening band, Secret Sound, led by local bearded muse and great guit box player, Kevin Hildebrand. From the first note to the very last, he and his very talented band, including a very pointed flutist, absolutely tore the roof off The Stone Pony. Some people call them “jam bands”.

I like to say that bands like Secret Sound just know how to write music that is interesting for more than 3 minutes. A true beginning, middle and end…kind of like your favorite novel, done to music. With obvious classic rock and folk genre influences, Secret Sound is a musical force to be enjoyed by music fans from all over the spectrum.

Desensitization vs. Flooding

by Lauren Kehoe

The world can be a scary place at times. Dogs, like people, have different fears. There are a variety of ideas floating around to help ease these fears.

One particularly important distinction to make is between flooding and desensitization.

Desensitization is a method that involves very low levels of exposure to the fear object or stimulus.

Flooding on the other hand exposes the dog to the object all at once. For example, if a dog was afraid of a vacuum cleaner, desensitization may involve someone vacuuming upstairs while another person distracts the dog downstairs or outside with treats or play. Flooding may mean sticking the dog in a room with the vacuum until it calms down.

Brock’s Story

Lauren Kehoe is an avid animal lover and dog owner.

Flooding can be extremely traumatic to a dog. Imagine you were deathly terrified of spiders and someone threw you in a room with a hundred daddy long legs. The idea is that dogs, like humans, can only continue producing adrenaline for so long. Eventually it will stop and the body will calm down. Unfortunately, dog owners have used this method unaware of the backlash that can come with it.

Flooding often makes a dog more anxious. It can lead to shutting down, aggression, or increased fear. If you lock your dog in the room and begin vacuuming around him, in addition to being terrified of the machine, he may begin to associate you with fear. It could even cause a normally nonaggressive dog to redirect out of panic, putting you at risk of getting bit.

Dogs cannot understand that somewhere down the road this event could help them; all they know is the intense fear in the moment.

This gorgeous purebred English Labrador is Brock. He may be 7 years old but sure does not act like it!! Brock lacks in obedience training. He is one strong boy who pulls hard on the leash, his owner really did not walk him, they just let him out in the fenced in yard. This dog is not for the feeble! He is super sweet and loving though....a little confused why he is here right now with us. Sadly, his owner went through a divorce and their home was being foreclosed on and they were no longer able to keep this sweet boy. He has lived with kids and is great with them. He will be able to go home after he is neutered. He does not have any experience with cats or dogs potential adopters that have either would have wait til he was tested with them. Please consider giving Brock a new home, he will be so grateful.

Denny’s Story

This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Desensitization is a much safer and gentler approach. It involves time and patience, but is worth the wait. Sessions should be kept short and positive.

It is important to keep your dog focused on you. A large majority of dogs are food motivated, so doing some basic obedience such as sit, down, stay, while delivering praise and treats is a great option. Over time, as the scary noise or object gets closer or louder, you may need to graduate to higher value treats such as deli meat or cheese rather than plain biscuits. If your dog isn’t food motivated, you can try engaging new toys, lots of belly rubs, or walks.

Denny is all puppy! He is a lab/pit mix, 6 months old and full of energy. Potential adopters should be very active and have the time and patience to properly raise and train a puppy. We highly recommend obedience classes to teach him basis manners and how to be a good canine citizen.

Denny is super sweet and will do well in any home that can give him the attention he needs.

Going too fast with desensitization can make your dog more reactive. Paying attention to your dog and its body language can help determine whether to continue or end the session. Some examples of stress include lip licking, darting eyes, lowered tail, yawning, a tense body, head turning, or yawning.

If your dog begins exhibiting these behaviors, it is a good time to call off the training session and resume at a later time.

Birdie’s Story

This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Fear is very real, but luckily so is overcoming it. Exposure to all kinds of stimulus paired with treats from an early age can help prevent dogs from developing negative associations. Pre-existing fears do not have to be debilitating. Whether it is vacuum cleaners, bicycles, fireworks, people with hats, other dogs, progress can be made. Here’s to lower stress levels for you and your best friend!

Birdie is a 3 year old hound mix transferred from an overcrowded shelter in NC. He is a big vocal boy who cannot wait to get out of the shelter and find a family to call his own.

He is very fun and loves to run and play. He would make a great jogging partner! Please hurry in to see him today!

Gee Gee’s Story

Ready… set… play! That’s the motto of this energetic 2 ½ year old kitty who recently came to us from the Humane Society in Newark. A very pretty black and white girl with an adorably chubby belly, Gee Gee enjoys some good scratches on the head, ears and chin, but not until she’s finished her playtime, please! She adores chasing the mouse on a wire and makes the cutest little “brrrr” noise as she runs relentlessly after her prey until she catches it. She’s sure to make you laugh out loud as you watch her race around the room in pursuit of her favorite toy. Come meet this little athlete today. She could be the new love of your life!

Take the Point Pleasant Beach Trolley I’m amazed that there was a time I didn’t think I liked peaches, but come summertime, I love them them. White peaches are my favorite for eating out of the hand but the yellow peaches give a nice sweet-tart flavor for cooked recipes. This take on the wedge salad uses grilled peaches and romaine. I happen to have the romaine pictured in my garden but typically use the larger store bought heads and it pairs well with grilled chicken or seafood. Poached peaches are so easy and an excellent topping for bowl of ice cream on hot summer nights. My favorite are jersey white peaches from local orchards (unfortunately not available at time of print). But check out Eastmont Orchards in Colts Neck if you want to pick your own. Enjoy!!

It’s always Sunny

by Natalie Berko

Most people know sunscreen is a summer essential, but how many folks know what to look for. According to a research study at Northwestern University Feinerg School of Medicine, only 43% of people know the definition of SPF. SPF stands for “Sun-Protection-Factor’. “People think that SPF equals everything,” says Dr. Roopal Kindu a dermatologist at Northwestern. It does count for a lot, the “sun-protection-factor” measures a sunscreen’s ability to filter UVB rays which are related to sunburn and skin cancer. SPF however only measures UVB rays which don’t tell you anything about protection from UVA rays. Perhaps the most misunderstood factor in sunscreen is UVA. UVA is around every day and can even penetrate through window glass! UVA rays like UVB is also related to an increased risk of skin cancer, unlike UVB it is not filtered by the ozone at all. UVA doesn’t cause sunburn, but it can lead to skin darkening and aging, because it penetrates deeper into the skin it has more influence on collagen. When shopping for a sunscreen it is important to look for a bottle that says “broad spectrum” because there is no other metric on the bottle for UVA coverage.

Zinc Oxide is a natural sunscreen alternative that physically instead of chemically blocks rays, and is gaining popularity as consumers seek more natural beauty products. Zinc oxide protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Dr. Andrew Weil for Origin’s makes a great natural sunscreen “Mega Defense SPF 45” formulated with Opuntia Ficus-Indica a desert cactus that helps shield against harmful UVA/UVB rays. It is one of the first 100% non-chemical sunscreens introduced to the market.

30 times longer before you get sunburned than you would be able to if you went out without any protection. SPF 30 filters approximately 97% of UVB rays and SPF 50 filters about 98% of UVB rays.

Meaning despite the jump in SPF number the UVB filtering improvement is only a 1% improvement. Sunscreen and proper care Natalie Berko is important when having fun in the sun, recent stats show one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

Knowing what to look for and when to apply will help your skin stay happy and healthy! For sunscreen to work as advertised, you should use about a shot glass worth for exposed areas. Typical adults should look got a water resistant, broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen, and reapply every two hours for the best protection. In addition to sunscreen use dermatologist also recommend taking these skin saving tips:

SPF numbers are another confusing factor when it comes to picking out the right sunscreen. Contrary to popular belief SPF 15 is not half as effective as an SPF 30. An SPF of 30 means that technically you could be out in the sun

• Seek shade: The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 am and 2 pm.

If your shadow is shorter than you, it’s time to seek some shade!

• Wear protective clothing: Cover-ups, beach pants, widebrimmed hats and sunglasses will keep you fashionable and provide some cover from the sun.

• Use extra caution: When near water, snow and sand as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn, so remember to reapply often.

There is nothing like stopping by a farm stand and picking up some fresh Jersey corn and tomatoes. Until recently, there weren’t too many farm stands in the 08742 area. Lucky for us, the farm now comes to Point Pleasant Beach with a Farmer’s market every Sunday in the parking lot of the train station. All the ingredients for this salad can be picked up there. This pairs well with any type of grilled meat of fish, or serve it with some chips and guacamole for a starter. ENJOY!!

Ice cream is back in popularity as gourmet shops are popping up to mix custom flavors from the ordinary to the exotic. So here is a way to make any family dinner or neighborhood barbeque your ice cream dream.

When having a large group, scoop ice cream into paper cups and refreeze in a large tray until serving time. These toppings are so simple and taste so much better than the store bought. Try experimenting with a sweetsavory combination such as sugar glazed bacon crumbles with, salted caramel and pecan shortbread pieces. The combinations are endless...Enjoy!

Farmer’s Market Tomato Corn Salad

Hot Fudge Sauce

1 14oz. Can of sweetened condensed milk 10 oz. semisweet chocolate chips (or dark if you prefer a richer chocolate) 3 Tbsp. salted butter

4 ears of corn 2 TBSP fresh lemon juice 1 ½ tsp. sea salt ¼ tsp. ground black pepper 4 TBSP olive oil 4-5 medium ripe tomatoes, diced ½ red onion diced finely 2 cloves fresh garlic minced 6-8 fresh basil leaves

Heat sweetened condensed milk and chocolate in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat until chocolate is melted, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter and stir until melted, about 5 minutes more.

Salted Caramel Sauce

Grill the corn on the cob for 3-4 minutes, or remove the corn from the stalk and quickly brown in a pan with oil on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool in a large bowl. Rinse basil leaves and roll lengthwise to easily chop into shreds. Toss with remaining ingredients and cover. It is best to make shortly before serving.

1 cup brown sugar 6 Tbsp salted butter ½ cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp coarse sea salt

Heat butter and sugar in heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. When it starts to bubble, cook for 34 minutes. Very slowly drizzle the heavy cream into the mixture using caution as the hot and cold temperatures mixing may cause splattering. Cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and sea salt.

Avoid refrigeration as it impacts taste and texture of tomatoes.

Alternative to Pain

By Katherine Kehoe

Many of us wake up with pain. All sorts of different ailments and symptoms rise up in people of all ages, and our first instinct is usually to turn to bottles of pills to dull the pain. But that isn’t the only option. Jeºrsey Shore Wellness Center is a chiropractic office in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, owned by Dr. Tony Garrow and Dr. Susan Nemiroff. Their mission is to help as many people as they can to get healthier, feel better, feel younger, and avoid invasive drugs and surgery.

Dr. Tony has been practicing since 2000 at Garrow Family Chiropractic. He grew up and went to high school in Wall Township, so it seemed a natural fit to him to return there to open up a practice. He, Dr. Susan, and her husband, Dr. Lance Nemiroff, all went to school together at Life University in Georgia. Ultimately, they shared the same goal of pursuing a career that would afford them the opportunity to help a lot of people, and to offer a more natural route to wellness. About five years ago, they were reunited by chance and joined his practice. Not long after, Dr. Susan and Dr. Tony teamed up to open Jersey Shore Wellness Center and it has been thriving for the past two and a half years.

Chiropractic has been around for over one hundred years, but recently has been gathering increasing support. We have seen a rise in problems with the abuse of prescription drugs, and there has been a push for alternatives to medication.

Not only does Jersey Shore Wellness Center provide chiropractic services as an alternative, but they also have staff to offer acupuncture, massage therapy, physical therapy, nutrition and supplements.

The staff at Jersey Shore Wellness Center works with people of all ages, from infants to seniors. There has actually been a rise in the number of younger patients, because the increase in the use of electronics has led to more sedentary lives, which creates back and neck problems in children and teenagers. Initially, chiropractors find that patients come to them with some kind of symptoms or discomfort. Usually within a few visits, or just a few weeks, they will see notable improvement.

On top of that, often patients begin to recognize many of the other health benefits of chiropractic in addition to simply relieving one point of pain.

Dr. Tony Garrow & Dr. Susan Nemiroff

In addition to services in the office, the doctors are actively involved in the community.

Dr. Susan is a past president of the Point Pleasant Beach Rotary, and currently on the board for the Point Pleasant Beach Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Tony is on the board of the Point Pleasant Boro Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Jersey Shore Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Lance is also the president of the Jersey Shore Triathlon Club. They run fund raisers for organizations such as St. Gregory’s Pantry and offer community service to give back, such as chair massage for teachers. They also have a strong focus on athletes and have been chiropractors for the Lakewood Blue Claws, and are currently working with Sky Blue FC, New Jersey’s professional soccer team. The practice has been awarded the Business Excellence Award by the Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce and the Osprey Award for Outstanding Community Service by the Jersey Shore Chamber of Commerce.

Currently, Dr. Tony and Dr. Susan are focused on growing both the Jersey Shore Wellness Center in Point Pleasant and Garrow Family Chiropractic practice in Sea Girt. They hope to serve both Ocean and Monmouth County and help as many people as they can to learn about better and more natural health care options.

Do You Feel Like You Are Constantly Being Tested?

by Allison Feehan, N.D., D.Psc, CRMT

You catch every red light while trying to race to an appointment that you are already late for. Your child can’t find his homework while you’re racing to get him out the door to catch the bus. Why is it that we always feel tested? And why is it we always feel like it never ends and it is always happening to us?

How come you feel as if no one else can possibly feel as tested as you do?

They seem to have it so easy.

These types of tests are a test of patience while other tests in our life test our will power. A reoccurrence of situations may take place having you wonder is it them or is it me? Friends or family may be treating you poorly and now you’ve had it. You’re done and you can’t take it anymore. You’ve been tested for the last time. You might even be looking for a match to burn that relationship bridge down to the ground. But before you turn to the matches try and take a step back and view the situation in a different light. The light isn’t who is right and who is wrong. The light is how are you responding?

When others continuously make us feel put-out or put-down we want to put them in their place. An argument may ensue or a relationship bruised for life.

If it’s the same person testing you over and over again there may be a deeper-rooted issue that may have nothing to even do with you. This individual may treat others the same way they treat you you just aren’t seeing it. Assess the situation and how you normally respond to this person.

Do you react, shout, yell, or shutdown completely. Does the situation get you wound up for days? If you are responding the same way you always respond you will continue to receive the same situation presenting itself to you. Try a new approach on how you respond. You may need to set healthy boundaries with this person moving forward.

If you are continuously presented with similar situations of multiple people treating poorly then you may need to assess inwards.

What are you doing to others that are triggering them to treat you this way?

Are they truly treating you poorly or are you super sensitive to being tested?

Sometimes it has nothing to do with you but how they are living their lives and not being as mindful to others feelings.

Similar advice applies. If you continue to respond the same to similar situations you will continuously be presented with a test of how you will respond. You cannot control others actions but you are responsible for your own actions and reactions.

Allison Feehan N.D., D.Psc, CRMT Owner of Integrative Healing and Wellness 732.202.6797 523 Main Avenue Bay Head, NJ

By changing your response to others you also change the frequency at which you vibrate. Emotions have a measured frequency and if you change the frequency at which you vibrate you will attract the changes you wish to see.

Summer Fun with the Girls

by Katherine Kehoe

The other day, my girlfriends and I were making plans to hang out, and the question of what we should do inevitably arose.

We needed something affordable, but also wanted something a little better than just hanging around at one of our houses. We wanted quality time together, but away from our families and the stresses that nag us at home. In the end, we probably wound up spending about an hour in a group text message dismissing any ideas as too expensive, too far away, or too boring and routine.

Especially as we get older, planning what to do becomes a problem, because we tack on more and more responsibilities, and money can get really tight. I’ve written about how important I think it is to spend time with your girlfriends and be silly and have a little fun. With summer here, we can spend time outside and we have some great options. So, after this debate, we came up with some ideas that are easy, simple, and cheap – or free! – ways to get that time with your best ladies.

FREE!

Go to manasquansubscribe@gmail.com

1. Walk the boardwalk. We are blessed to live close to the beach, but badges are expensive. However, you don’t have to pay to hang out on the boards! Take advantage of the scenery and head to any of the local boardwalks to get some exercise and catch up at the same time.

2. Ride your bikes. This goes along with walking, but you can cover a lot more ground when you’re on bikes. My girls and I rode from one house in Spring Lake all the way up to Asbury, and it felt awesome!

3. Kayak or canoe. We have several places around here where you can rent a kayak for a few hours, and when you split the cost between two or more of you, it really isn’t much to think about. This is another fantastic way to get exercise that will really get you out of your comfort zone.

4. Plant a garden. Going out to eat can be expensive, but if you grow your own veggies in the backyard, you can snack on them together later. Or you can stick to flowers, herbs, whatever you like! Don’t know anything about gardening? Well, there are plenty of web sites or books out there that can teach you! e this

5. Have a fire. Get a group of you together and sit around the fire pit.

Bring some beers if you want, or maybe some s’mores or hot dogs.

You’ll have plenty of quiet down time to talk and hang out with simple snacks rather than anything exorbitant or expensive.

These are only a few ideas, but you get the idea: Summer fun doesn’t have to mean going out for dinner or drinks and spending lots of money.

You can be smart and creative and you have plenty of opportunities to hang out with your friends and relax – that’s what summer is for!
