From The Editor’s Desk.

This is our 2nd annual “Your Health & You” edition. I hope you find it informative and enjoyable. We have some excellent editorial with tips on how to stay healthy and fit along with plenty of local medical professionals to take care of you.

There are a variety of different kinds of health and I believe that having a healthy community and a healthy society is one of the most important.

The idea of community and how vital it is to look out for one another and be supportive of your friends and neighbors has been on my mind a lot lately, mostly because of the ugly and vile actions that former Penn State Assistant Football Coach Jerry Sandusky has been found guilty of. It’s good that Sandusky has finally had to answer for his crimes, although I don’t know if him rotting in a jail cell for the rest of his miserable existence is harsh enough to be true justice. His victims, who were targeted because of their vulnerability and troubled backgrounds, will bear the scars of his abuse for the rest of their lives To truly have a healthy community we have to

take away the stigma of victim hood and take a stand when we suspect something suspicious is going on. The most egregious fact of the Sandusky case is how many opportunities were missed to stop him from harming anyone else. It wasn’t only his football colleagues who dropped the ball when it came time to report him. We are often quick to dismiss things as “not our business.”

But, when you even have an inkling of suspicion that something is awry and that people may be exploited or abused it is imperative to try and stop it. There is no more important function of a community then taking care of the vulnerable and disenfranchised among us. So, if need be, don’t hesitate to be the nosy neighbor and you might just end up a hero.

Safe Home Food Preservation Never Goes Out Of Style Mid-summer is a satisfying time for home growers and gardeners. From asparagus to peas and from strawberries to rhubarb, many of our favorite fruits and vegetables ripen and become ready for picking.

Home food preservation methods allow for these fruits and vegetables, and many others, to be enjoyed all year. A website offered by Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences provides guidance for safely preserving fresh foods.

The site, http://extension.psu.edu/food-safety/ food-preservation, is updated regularly and offers advice for saving a garden's harvest. It provides links to many recipes instructing how to dry fruits, how to turn them into jams and jellies, and how to

freeze and can foods safely.

New to the site this year is a link to the new Food Preservation Blog, which is updated regularly with tips home food preservers can use as the gardening season progresses.

While home food preservation and canning have many benefits, there are some risks, according to Luke LaBorde, associate professor of food science, who recommended that consumers consult the website for information about ensuring the safety and quality of their preserves.

"The biggest danger involved with home food preservation is the possibility of foodborne illness," Laborde said. "If foods are canned incorrectly, Clostridium botulinum spores may live through the canning process and grow once the products are cooled."

These spores produce a highly potent toxin that causes botulism, a potentially fatal disease.

"It's important to use scientifically tested recipes when canning" warns LaBorde. "Apples, peaches and berries can be processed in a boiling-water canner because they contain natural acids that prevent growth of dangerous botulism spores.

But low-acid foods -- such as green beans, corn and soups -- must be processed in a pressure canner that achieves high enough temperatures to destroy the heat-resistant spores."

Effective methods of canning also kill most spoilage molds, bacteria and yeast and prevent heat-resistant types from growing by removing oxygen from inside the jars.

When done safely, home food preservation is a great way to save money on what may seem like continually growing grocery bills. Canning also can help to preserve produce's nutritional value, which is lost quickly once crops are harvested.

"Canning can help you save money, get the most out of your garden and have nutritional produce all winter long," LaBorde said. "Penn State's Food Safety website provides information that makes it easier for new and seasoned canners alike to safely enjoy the process and product long after the summer has gone."

Mr. Leickel talks to Library visitors about the history of the flag

Off The Shelf Honoring Flag Day

On Tuesday June 12, the Slatington Public Library welcomed Mr. William Leickel for a program devoted to the American Flag. Mr. Leickel is a local historian and veteran.

He gave us an introduction to our flag’s history that was followed by the inspiring video, Vane Scotts's Many Faces of Old Glory."

Mr. Scott is a World War II veteran, entertainer,

Page 11

and owner of a flag company. His stirring history of our flag was presented on a stage with a full orchestra to offer dramatic music to accompany his oratory. When the video ended with "God Bless America"everyone in attendance at the library sang along with Mr. Scott and Mr. Leickel.

After the video we were instructed on how to cut a perfect five point star, and Mr. Leickel had some flag literature for everyone to take home.

The evening was a perfect way to celebrate the upcoming Flag Day Holiday on June 14th.

Please contact the Library if you would like more information about this program or the pictorial history Mr. Leickel has published.

9 Yule, 1953 Die Woch schreibt’s Bobbelmaul net fun deheem, wie gewehnlich, awwer mer sin in Kutzschteddel am grosse Pensilfaanish Deitsche Volk Fescht die ganz Woch, vun erschde bis zum fimfde. So gewwe mer eich so viel Berichde vun dart, as mer kenne im Blatz, was erlaabt iss im Item. Des iss en grossi Zeit fer die Pennsilfaanish Deitsche alle Yaahr, un mer sette al helfe’s unnerschtitze. Es sin viel Dinge dart as weise, wie unser Voreldre gelebt hen, viel Dinge as weise wie mer lewe alleweil, un aa viel Dinge fer Gschpass.

Die Grange hen en ganz Gebei gfillt mit Sache, as weist wie Voreldre gelebt hen, Schtiwwelgnecht, Schmutzamschle, un hunnerde vun so Sache. Die Karriche hen die Esseschtand dart un die Weibsleit misse nachts bache un koche fer die Dausende vun Leit fiedre mit so Dinge wie Schnitz un Gnepp, Bottboi, Buweschenkel, Schnitzboi,’Shoe Fly’ Kuche un noch viel anner so deitsch Esse.

Die Handwarrick Leit sin an der Arewet, der Karrebmacher, der Blackschmidt, der Bleechschmidt, die weibsleit sin am Schpinne un Wewe; oh, ich kann yuscht net vun alles schreiwe.

Es sin zwee Kieh dart, as gemolke warre, un die Weibsleit drehe der Budder dart. Im Faerhaus sin en ganzi Latt alde Buddermuddle as ee Weibsmensch zammergedraage hot fer weise.

Drei Kessel voll Lattwarrick sin gekocht warre geschder. Ich hab des Yaahr en Latt alde Frankish „Fancy Work“ an die Wand getacht fer weise.

Un denk mol, es is ken Gammelschtand uff em ganze Faergrund. Es iss yuscht ee ding as ich net gleich. Ich meen, wann die Leit beikumme un bezaale am Dierche fer nei, sett net eeni inseid em gleene Heisel hoche, wu mer als hie muss, un greische „Tip the maid, please.“ -Florence Baver

July 9, 1953 This week, the Chatterbox writes, not from home as usual, but we are in Kutztown at the big Pennsylvania Dutch Folk Festival for the whole week, from the first until the fifth. So we report as much from there as we can in the space allowed in the Item [newspaper]. This is a big time for the Pennsylvania Dutch every year and we should all help to support it. There are many items there that show how our ancestors lived, many things that show how we live now, and also many things just for fun.

The granges have a building completely filled with items that show how our ancestors lived: boot jack, ‘fat’ lamps and hundreds of like items.

The churches have a food stand there where the women must cook and bake over night to feed the thousands of visitors with menu items like: ham, dried apples and dumplings; pot pie; half moon potato pies with gravy; dried fruit pie; shoe fly pie and still other Dutch fare.

The craft people are at work: the basket makers, the black smiths, the tin smiths, the women spinning and weaving …. Oh, I just can’t write it all here.

They have two cows that they milk, and women also churn butter there. In the fairhouse are many butter molds that one women collected to display. Three pots of apple butter were cooked in one day. This year I tacked up a lot of old Fractur ‘fancy work’ to show the people.

And just think; there is not one gaming stand on the entire fairgrounds. There is just one thing I didn’t like. I think when people come by and pay at the gate to enter; there should not be someone sitting inside the little house, where we must always go [We all know where she means, right?], yelling “Tip the maid, please.”

Local Keystone Girls State Delegates Recognized Local delegates who have attended Keystone Girls State at Shippensburg University from June 24-30th were recognized at The "Girls State Tea" held Sat. June 16th at the American Legion, Post 899 in Walnutport.

Those who attended Keystone Girls State are Elizabeth Reichard, Morgan Ott, Barbara Martinez, Sophia Conklin, Skylar Transue, Bianca Santiago, Nicole Strunk, Brianna Handwerk, Jamie Harron and Alyssa Dachowicz.

Keystone Girls State offers training in the practical process of self government and good citizenship as practiced in a democratic society.

Each June approximately 150 enthusiastic young women participate in Keystone Girls State (KGS) sessions at Shippensburg Unv. While at KGS the "citizens" study local, city, county, and state government processes. They do this by setting up their own miniature city, county and state governments and administer them according to the laws of the commonwealth.

The girls' participation in the event is sponsored by local American Legion Auxiliary units. These girls are sponsored by the "Four County Council" (Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe and Northampton) units.

An Old Idea May Bring New Help To Migraine Sufferers (NAPS)—If you or someone you care about is among the one in 10 Americans who suffer with mi­graine headaches, recent research may provide some relief.

The Condition: A migraine, the National Institutes of Health reports, is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt on only one side of the head. Some people who get mi­graines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins.

The Cause: It’s caused by abnormal brain activity but the exact chain of events remains unclear. Most medical experts believe the attack begins in the brain and involves nerve pathways and chemicals. The changes affect blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissues.

Alcohol, stress and anxiety, certain odors, certain foods, loud noises, bright lights and smoking may trigger a migraine, among other things.

The Treatments: there is no specific cure for migraine headaches but if you try to avoid triggers and treat the symptoms right away, you can reduce their frequency and effect.

To manage your migraine, over-the-counter pain medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen or

aspirin can be helpful if the pain is mild. If these treatments don’t work, ask your doctor about prescription medicines.

Medications that can treat the other symptoms include sedatives and something to relieve the accompanying nausea. Some 80 to 90 percent of migraine sufferers develop nausea with it.

Unfortunately, there are side effects associated with many anti-nausea medications such as drowsiness, disorientation and dry mouth.

Some people, however, have long known that ginger can be a drug-free option for nausea relief.

Now it’s even available in a convenient gum from Sea-Band so you can take it with you anywhere.

Each piece contains 25mg of ginger oil— equivalent to 8g of fresh gingerroot. It’s available at CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens.

To learn more, go to www.seaband.com and “like” the company at www.facebook.com/ seaband.

Many people with migraines find relief from the accompanying nausea by chewing ginger gum.

If Your Skin Could Talk, What Would It Say? (NAPS)—What is your skin telling you? Did you spend a lot of time in the sun last summer? What about the summer before that? Sun exposure on unprotected skin year after year may leave you with more than a few freckles.

Sunburns and moles aren’t the only indication that skin has been damaged. After years of exposure to the sun, you may discover red spots that feel rough, dry or scaly and don’t go away, even after using moisturizer. Sometimes called “sun spots” or mistaken for age spots, these patches could be actinic keratosis (AK), a skin condition that can lead to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a nonmelanoma form of skin cancer.

It is estimated that AK affects up to 58 million Americans, yet most people are unaware of its symptoms and association with sun damage.

Because AK is a result of cumulative sun exposure,

it can take years to develop. A job that requires a substantial amount of time outside or everyday activities such as gardening, exercise or attending outdoor sporting events can lead to sun damage if your skin isn’t adequately protected. People at high risk are often fair-skinned men and women over the age of 40 who may have accumulated a significant amount of sun exposure over the course of many years.

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of their lifetime, and AKs have the potential to progress to squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common type of skin cancer. It’s important to check your skin year-round and note any changes in texture and color—these changes may be age spots, irritation or dry skin, but they may also require more attention.

According to the National Institutes of Health, specific characteristics of AK include: • A skin patch or growth, often limited to one area, that begins as flat and scaly; • Presence on the face, scalp, back of the hands, chest or other sun-exposed areas; • A color that can be gray, pink, red or the same color as the skin; • Later development into a hard and wart-like or gritty, rough and “sandpapery” surface; • In some cases, the lesions may be easier to feel than to see.

Healthy Eating On The Go (NAPS)—Today’s families are more on the go than ever, spending many hours each week in the car, making it seem hard to make time for your family to eat healthy, nutritious foods.

Increased time spent in the car has led many families to eat on the go. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 48 percent of the money spent on food in this country pays for meals eaten away from the home.

During hectic days, families need energy to keep them going, but they often end up choosing more convenient foods that are high in fat, added sugar and calories.

This year, you can introduce your family to the idea of GO, SLOW and WHOA foods to help them eat healthier. GO foods are low in fat, sugar and calories and are “nutrient dense” (rich in vitamins and other nutrients). Try to avoid SLOW and WHOA foods that are higher in fat, added sugar and calories and that, often, offer fewer nutrients.

Whether you’re off to a Saturday away game or driving your children to their weekly activities, use these tips for healthier eating: • Pack GO foods ahead of time. If you have a busy day with your family planned—including time in the car—pack healthy snacks in a small cooler or tote bag before you leave. Consider water, fresh fruit or veggies, low-fat cheese sticks, whole-grain crackers or a low-sugar cereal portioned into baggies.

• Make healthy choices at fast-food restaurants.

Sometimes, when you are traveling by car, fast food is the only option. Try making healthier choices such as sandwiches without cheese, salads with low-fat or fat-free dressing, replacing French fries with sliced fruit, and swapping fried meats for grilled options.

• Read the labels. Stopping at convenience stores for a snack can easily lead to unhealthy choices.

Looking at the nutrition label can help you and your children make the best choice. Pick snacks

Too Much Sun Can Be Dangerous For Eyes (NAPS)—While many people are concerned about effects of the sun on their skin, experts say they shouldn’t lose sight of what the sun can do to their eyes.

If the eyes are exposed to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, a “sunburn” called photokeratitis can occur.

This condition may be painful and includes symptoms such as red eyes, a foreign-body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensitivity to light, and excessive tearing.

Photokeratitis is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage.

Premature Aging and More Ongoing exposure to UV radiation, however, can cause serious harm to the eyes and age them prematurely. Research has shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over time increases the chance of developing catar­ acts, macular degeneration—the leading cause of blindness in adults—and eye cancer. Long-term exposure may also cause damage to the retina, a nerve-rich lining of the eye that is used for seeing.

Steps You Can Take Whether it’s cloudy or sunny, summer or winter, the American Optometric Association (AOA) urges Americans to take measures to protect their eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays in order to decrease the risk of eye diseases and disorders.

A good rule of thumb to follow is to wear sunglasses or contact lenses that offer appropriate UV protection, apply UV-blocking sunscreen around the eye area and wear a hat to help protect the eyes and prevent premature aging.

To provide adequate protection for the eyes, the AOA recommends sunglasses and protective contact lenses that: • Block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation • Screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light • Are perfectly matched in color, free of distortion and imperfection and have lenses that are gray for proper color recognition.

The AOA also urges parents to remember to protect infants’ and children’s eyes from the sun at all times.

Regular Exams Are Key A good way to monitor eye health, maintain good vision and keep up-to-date on the latest in UV protection is by scheduling yearly comprehensive eye exams with an eye doctor.

To find an optometrist or for additional information on UV protection, visit www.AOA. org.

Ongoing exposure to UV radiation can cause serious harm to the eyes and age them prematurely.

It can also lead to cata­­racts and other conditions.

Let Freedom Ring...

Happy 4th of July!

The Liberty Bell, which rang out for freedom for many years, is one of America’s greatest symbols. One story tells that the Liberty Bell rang (on July 8, 1776) to announce the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, which had been adopted on July 4, 1776. But, historians think the bell’s steeple was in disrepair and that the bell did not ring on that day.

When the British Army came to Philadelphia in September 1777, Patriots took the bell from the State House and hid it. The bell was put back in a rebuilt steeple in 1785.

Today, the Liberty Bell no longer chimes, but the ideas it stands for still ring true for every American. It is kept in a glass house in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

Can you find these symbols that are as American as our Liberty Bell? (Note: circle only the parts in bold print.)

The Star-Spangled Banner Pledge of Allegiance American Bald Eagle George Washington The Spirit of ‘76 Uncle Sam

Statue of Liberty Washington, D.C. Betsy Ross Old Glory Declaration of Independence Great Seal of the United States

This American tradition can be found daily all over the country.

It is a favorite dessert any time of year! It may be made with Cortland, ree F McIntosh or your favorite kind. We even have a saying: les!

Grandpa’s Time

Every Saturday morning Grandpa Walt found himself babysitting his three grandchildren...all boys. The kids always wanted to play ‘’war,’’ and Grandpa somehow always got coaxed into the game. His daughter came to pick up the kids early one Saturday and witnessed Grandpa take a fake shot as Jason pointed a toy gun and yelled, “Bang!’’

Grandpa slumped to the floor and stayed there motionless. The daughter rushed over to see if he was all right. Grandpa opened one eye and whispered, ‘’Sh-h-h, I always do this. It’s the only chance I get to rest.’’

Kids Summer Reading Program Has Sweet Rewards Savannah Biechy creating “Chocolate Dippers” at the Sweet Creations Station Literacy lab families working on a craft project.

Although summer break offers a welcomed change from the routine of the school year, some parents worry about the “summer slide” their children may experience when it comes to reading.

Experts agree that children who read during the summer gain reading skills, while those who do not, often slide backward.

To help keep kids engaged and excited about reading, The Ice Cream Lab in Walnutport is hosting free, Little Scoops Literacy Labs every Tuesday from 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm, all summer long, for preschoolers and elementary age children.

Each week a different story and themed makeand-take craft are presented by a certified staff teacher, and children receive one part of a fivepiece ice cream cone for attending. When their

Since its inception, The Ice Cream Lab’s mission has been to find creative ways to blend education with entertainment and of course, America’s favorite frozen dessert – ice cream. To make reading time together even sweeter, Little Scoops and their parents have the option to stay and play at the new Sweet Creations Station, where they can use their imaginations and creativity to design their very own dessert. Children are able to experiment with edible ice cream paints, decorate a jumbo cupcake, cookie, or waffle pizza, and even make their own ice cream sundaes!

Wendy Pitts, who co-owns The Ice Cream Lab with her husband Tim, says, “We know that reading to children at an early age helps to develop language skills, vocabulary and even attention span, but more than anything else, we want to make it fun so they learn to love it.”

St. Paul’s Welcomed Speaker During the June meeting of Women United for Christ, St. Paul's UCC of Indianland, special speaker Carl H. Bloss spoke about Bethany Children's Home situated at Womelsdorf, PA. Special guests included the ladies of Hope Lutheran Church and Carl's family.

Mr. Bloss talked about his childhood at Bethany Children's Home, formerly called Bethany Orphans Home. Carl and his brother were raised at Bethany Children's Home.

He shared details of activities he participated in and some of the mishaps he had and how the children were raised and educated at the home. He mentioned all of the changes at the home since he was admitted seventy-five years ago and the role of the church's association with Bethany Children’s Home.

He presently works as a volunteer at Bethany, his main interest being the history and archives of Bethany Home. Many of the records of Bethany Home were destroyed by a fire and records were lost. Through photos, documents, items and recall, he was able to build an archives and preserve the past at Bethany Home. He compiled several books to capture the memories of years ago. He was recently honored for recreating the past at the home.

Carl is also a genealogist. He resides in the Phoebe Berks Village in Wernersville and has a library of his own. He researches his family history and corresponds by email each month with many family members.

Everyone enjoyed Carl's interesting and informative presentation.

Trainers: The MVPs of Varsity Sports

by Tyler Trumbauer

The athletes that push their bodies to limits every day after school, out on the field or on the hardwood, beat themselves up to the point where they acquire multiple ailments that hamper them and their abilities throughout the season or even their life. Injuries are, unfortunately, the norm in sports as finely tuned players push themselves to their limits and sometimes even past them. Now the people that have the job of nursing those fallen student-athletes are the school’s athletic trainers.

These dedicated professionals are rarely seen, but are so very crucial to the success of any athletic team. The trainers put in countless hours as they are at all home athletic contests and spend time preparing the players before the game and healing them afterwards.

Trainers pour all that they have into the athletes on all the teams during every season. They have to worry about multiple teams at once and all that they need to equip them for their game.

Trainers not only are professional associates for the players, they are often close friends. Trainers

and players make connections as they spend so much time together throughout a season.

As a former inter-scholastic athlete, I have experienced first-hand how much work the trainers put in for the better of the school’s athletic program. Trainers are there rooting with you on the sidelines and are enjoying the game with the rest of the amped-up fans.

Athletic trainers have to endure long days when there are multiple home athletic contests and they have to be able to juggle all the issues that arise during those games. Trainers also need to be prepared for a situation as light as a severe scrape or for one as drastic as a kid being unconscious. I admire all athletic trainers as I feel they work very hard and it’s not exactly a dream job. They do a great job keeping young men and women healthy and playing and enjoying their sports. e-mail: extrapoint@townandcountrygazette.com Twitter: @tylertrumbauer Facebook Updates: Town & Country Gazette

Dent Hosts Send-Off Event For Local Students Attending Service Academies U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent (PA-15) hosted a sendoff event for 17 students from the 15th District who will attend one of the nation’s five service academies this fall. The students were joined by family members and friends at the event, which took place in the Congressman’s District Office in Allentown.

Fourteen of the students, including recent graduates from 11 area high schools, were formally nominated for admission at one of the academies

by Rep. Dent in December (preparatory schools do not require a Congressional nomination).

Students completed an extensive nomination process that included interviews with the Congressman’s Military Academy Nomination Board, comprised of local residents with ties to the military and veteran communities.

“Nominating hard-working local students for admission to one of our nation’s prestigious service academies is one of my most rewarding responsibilities as a Member of Congress,” said Rep. Dent. “These 17 students are some of the brightest and most dedicated young people in our area. I applaud their decision to serve our nation while continuing their education, and wish them

Farmer’s Markets Offer Fresh Healthy Options Searching for fresh, nutritious food? Want alternatives to everyday ingredients? To find healthy foods and unique products, you don’t have to look much farther than your “backyard.”

Local farmers’ markets provide less-processed, flavorful produce and other farm-fresh products that can add variety to your diet and keep you on track with healthy choices. TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, explains the benefits of visiting a local farmers’ market and offers some shopping list ideas.

Reasons to Buy Local 1. It comes direct from the farmer or grower.

You can trust that the produce is fresh and learn more about where it comes from.

2. The products haven’t had a long journey. At a farmers’ market, it’s safe to assume that the food hasn’t traveled long distances to get there. This reduces energy consumption to transport them and decreases the time between harvest and consumption.

3. Vendors offer recently harvested produce.

Reducing the time between when the food is

picked and when it is consumed helps ensure that the nutrients have been preserved.

4. It supports the local economy. Many markets put a mileage limit on vendors, ensuring that the food is from the area. By purchasing food at a nearby farmers’ market, you are giving money to neighborhood farmers and stimulating the local economy.

5. Farmers and growers are the best resource.

As you are making your food choices, take time to talk to local vendors about their products. Ask them about the growing process and when the food was picked. Many of them are also a great resource for cooking tips, or recipes.

6. You can try new foods. A farmers’ market is a great opportunity to learn about foods you’ve never seen and purchase items that will spice up your refrigerator or kitchen pantry. It keeps your meals interesting.

7. They offer seasonal produce. Vendors offer vibrant fruits and vegetables that change with the season. When foods are in season, they are more colorful and flavorful. At a conventional store, it can be difficult to determine what foods are in season.

Farmer’s Market Shopping List 1. Heirloom Tomatoes – Add variety to a salad or vegetable platter. Unlike store-bought tomatoes, each heirloom looks and tastes different than the rest. They’re also a great source of numerous vitamins and minerals and contain lycopene, which studies show may lower the risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease.

2. Raw Honey – This is honey in its purest form.

Not only does raw honey contain vitamin B, amino acids, and minerals like iron and potassium, but it also has antibacterial and antifungal properties.

3. Free-Range Eggs – A test by “Mother Earth News” magazine suggests that eggs from grassfed, free-range chickens, on average, have onethird of the cholesterol and one-fourth of the saturated fat of conventional eggs. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids.

Local Farmers’ Markets Continued from Page 50 4. Fresh Herbs – Basil, sage, cilantro, and other spices and herbs are a great way to boost a meal’s flavor without adding calories. They are also gaining attention for their potential to decrease inflammation, reduce the risk of cancer, fight heart disease, and more.

5. Beets – Beets are a unique source of betaine and folate, nutrients that help protect against heart disease. Grate raw beets for a colorful addition to a salad or marinate them in lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh herbs.

6. Swiss Chard – Like spinach, Swiss chard is rich with nutrients, including vitamins K, A, and C. Use boiled Swiss chard in omelets to add some zest, or mix it with whole grain pasta.

7. Homemade Bread – Buy homemade whole grain bread from the farmers’ market. Whole grains are a source of fiber and other nutrients, including potassium and magnesium. They can help lower the risk of cancer, protect against heart disease, and maintain a person’s weight.

8. Rhubarb – This brightly-colored, celery-like food is a source of vitamins C and K, calcium, and fiber. Although it is a common pie ingredient, rhubarb can also be served as chutney for meat or a topper for yogurt.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I CAN SLOW DOWN YOUR ELECTRIC METER…LEGALLY…AND SAVE YOU 8% TO 18% ON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL! PowerwoRx-e3 PowerwoRx-e3 (Pe3) provides a Whole-House Energy System for the best possible energy savings and protection based upon a unique patented technology providing three key benefits: Energy Savings (e1), Equipment Protection (e2), Electrical Noise Filtration (e3)

Energy Savings

Pe3 provides Energy Savings by reducing the power drawn from the utility by storing in its capacitors otherwise lost electricity caused by the inductive motors in the home. Some examples of inductive motors are air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners, furnace blower motors, fans, etc. The technology applied to Pe3 supplies that stored electricity back to inductive loads, thus causing decreased demand from the utility, thereby using less electricity. The process is called power factor optimization. Power Factor is the percentage of electricity delivered to a house and used effectively, compared to what is wasted. A 1.0 power factor means that all the electricity is being compared to what is wasted. A 1.0 power factor means that all the electricity is being used effectively for its purposed.

However, most homes in America today have a .77 power factor or less. This means that 77% of the electricity that is coming through the meter (home or business) is being used effectively. The other 23% is being wasted by your inductive load. With a low power factor, the utility has to deliver more electricity to do the same work.

Pe3 increases that power factor in most cases to .97 or .98, thus increasing the effective use of the electricity and lowering usage.

Equipment Protection

Pe3 provides Spike/Surge Suppression, a feature that protects appliances and electronics (TV’s, stereos, computers, DVR’s, security systems, wireless phones, florescent lamps, and other equipment) from voltage spikes can come from many different sources such as noisy equipment (like motors), power fluctuations, static electricity, and lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PowerwoRx e3 work in any home? Yes, as long as you have a circuit breaker panel with breaker switches and not the old screw in type fuses, the unit will work on any single-phase electric application for homes. If you say “yes” to only two or more of the following then you could be saving a significant amount of money on your electric bill right now!

Is your home over 2,500 square feet? Is your central air conditioner or heat pump unit 3 years or older? Do you use an air conditioner regularly? Do you have a pool? Do you have a well? Hot tub or Jacuzzi? Is your washer/dryer not EnergyStar rated? Is your refrigerator/freezer not EnergyStar rated? Is your dishwasher not EnergyStar rated? Do you have more than one refrigerator or freezer? Is your forced air furnace 3 years or older? Do you have a number of appliances in your home?

Will Pe3 affect any of my appliances and their normal use? If anything, your motors will run about 10% cooler, which is good for a motor because heat is the enemy of a motor.

Is Pe3 tested and approved by independent labs? Yes, the Pe3 is UL listed and tested. Also, the technology is recognized by the US Department of Energy.

PowerwoRx-e3 is a unique application of proven technologies. It provides your home or business with the electrical power conditioned capabilities previously available only to the largest facilities and installations.

Pe3 is easy to install and provides immediate benefits. It provides power factor correction, surge and spike suppression and noise reduction in one cost-effective and maintenance-free package.

Homes and businesses contain many electronic devices that are sensitive to surges. Nearby lightning can create an energy surge that enters your property and destroys valuable equipment. On a smaller scale, circuit noise (from hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, etc.) effects the performance of audio systems, computers, home entertainment systems, and the picture clarity of TVs. Pe3 protects the customer’s property from all such power disruptions. At the same time, it saves energy on air conditioners, refrigerators, pumps, and fans. Pe3 improves equipment performance and prolongs equipment life.

Is Pe3 easy to install? We recommend installation by an electrician. The unit comes with complete installation instructions.

It installs in about 20-30 minutes.

How long with Pe3 last? It has a predicted lifespan of over 20 years.

SAVE $$ AND ENERGY BY WASHING YOUR LAUNDRY IN COLD WATER, WITH NO SOAP AND KILL 99.99% OF BACTERIA…& WASH WHITES WITH COLORS WITH NO COLOR BLEEDING.

The results are unbelievable. This system will eventually be as common as the microwave oven. Remember when the microwave first came out?

Everyone had their doubts it’s effectiveness, but most homes now have one. This cutting-edge technology in washing our laundry will become commonplace. Start saving $$, energy, and your precious time when doing your laundry. Call for details.

SAVE ENERGY IN HEAING & COOLING BY HAVING YOUR DUCTS CLEANED.

We employ a closed circuit TV camera system that lets you view your ducts before, during, and after the cleaning. The proof of our effectiveness is right before your eyes and guarantees our thorough results.
