HOW TO LIGHT A PUMPKIN

Preserve Your Herbs After snipping or pulling your herbs and giving them a light wash, remove lower leaves from the stems and tie the bunch of herbs together close to the top of the stems. Ideally, a bunch should contain no more than 5 10 stems to facilitate ventilation.

Find a dry, warm (not humid), dark and well ventilated place that is out of the way of pedestrian traffic or constant rummaging. The ideal temperature for drying is around 68ºF/20ºC. If you do not have a dark spot in the house, you can try tying paper lunch bags over each bunch and piercing airholes in the bag. This has the added bonus of also keeping the dust off.

Leave the herbs to dry for 1 - 3 weeks. Check them every now and then to see how they are drying - thicker stemmed herbs will take longer. When they crumble they are ready to be taken down. Remove the leaves and bottle them in airtight glass herb jars (or other jars you have around). You can keep the leaves whole, or crush them in your fingers. Label the jar and date it. Store the herbs for up to one year.

FALL 2013

To illuminate a carved pumpkin, string lights are preferable to candles for most designs: Wrap a strand of 20 lights around a glass jar, and secure wires with tape.

Cut a hole in the hollowed-out pumpkin for the cord, and place jar inside. Unplug lights before leaving the house or going to sleep. If using a candle, place it in a glass or votive holder, and cut a hole in the back of the pumpkin for ventilation (or leave the top off ). Battery-operated candles are another good alternative.

TASTY LITTLE BIRDS; QUAIL POPPERS ARE A HUNTERS REWARD

November Folklore November take flail; let ships no more sail.

If trees show buds in November, the Winter will last until May. There is no better month in the year to cut wood than November.

Ice in November brings mud in December.

Ingredients: •Jalepeños •Quail breasts •Cream cheese Method: Skin birds, then remove legs at hip joints and filet away breast meat.

Soak the meat in lightly-salted water for about thirty minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split jalapeño peppers in half, figuring one pepper for every two pieces of meat. Remove seeds and core from the inside of each pepper. Press cream cheese into cavity of each pepper and lay a strip of meat over the cheese; fasten with a toothpick.

Lay poppers on a cookie sheet or baking dish, meat side up, and place into preheated oven. Bake approximately 20 minutes, or until the bottoms of the peppers turn brown. Serve with plenty of cold beer! For more visit themeateater.com

8:00 AM

THE FR RIEND NDLIEST CUP OF JOE O

10:00 AM Our first stop after our visit to Lakewood Smiles is for some much needed caffeine!

We head down the road to the nearby Starbucks located in the Safeway at 11088 West Jewell. Our favorite Starbucks always has friendly faces and great coffee. Wanting to keep up the good reports at the dentist office I order my mocha sugar-free and enjoy the wonderful kick-start to my morning with a clear conscience. With our steaming hot mocha in hand, we also decide to check a few things off our evergrowing grocery list. Who says you can’t be productive on a day off?

We start the day at Lakewood Smiles Family Dentist with Dr. Kevin Varley. No need to panic, we are only here for a check up to keep our pearly whites shining. But while sitting in the waiting room we thought why not take the opportunity to reward ourselves for all that hard work of brushing and flossing. Okay, maybe we are just looking for a reason to take the day off – but why not?

An outstanding report from Dr. Varley only confirms our reasoning for a well-deserved day off. So we suggest taking the day to get out and explore!

The Shops at Belmar offer something for everyone: Wystone’s for worldly tea choices, Paciugos for gelato and Sur La Table for the chef.

SUMMER 2013 /

TE EA TIM ME LUNCH CH

12:00 PM After depositing our groceries at home it’s time for the fun to begin! We head to the Shops at Belmar for a little lunch and a lot of retail therapy. The Shops at Belmar provide not only excellent shopping, but also a thriving restaurant and entertainment scene. Even an afternoon of window shopping is a treat for the senses with the collection of unique and picturesque storefronts.

For lunch we stop by Wystone’s for a green tea latte and a grilled brie sandwich. While we eat, we peruse the lengthy list of the 150 different blends of whole and loose-leaf teas.

With the helpful staff to make suggestions I finally decide to take home the Honey Spice tea, which blends rooibos tea with cinnamon, aniseed, cloves and lemon peel.

Our impromptu day off is the perfect time to get a few gift ideas before the holidays start to sneak up on us. We stop

by Sur La Table for the chefs in the family and Wild at Heart for the fashionistas and leave with lots of gift ideas. Our next stop is at Paciugo’s Gelato and Café for a sweet treat for ourselves. We go with the ever popular Meditteranean Sea Salt Caramel Gelato although some of the seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice and apple cobbler has our mouth watering.

EXPLORING LAKEWOOD ENTERTAINMENT

2:00 PM After finishing off the last of our gelato we check the movie times at Century Theater. With a couple hours of down time before our movie of choice, we head over to Lucky Strike Lanes. With sixteen lanes of bowling, shuffleboard tables, HD projection TV’s and billiards there is plenty to keep us busy until our movie time. Lucky Strike Lanes provides an ideal location for birthday parties, happy hour with friends, or a private event.

Our movie time rolls around and we cross the street to Century Theaters. The XD Theater provides the ultimate viewing experience with a screen spanning from floor to ceiling and wall-to-wall. Custom seating and sound create an intense movie experience from every angle.

Even as the previews start we are immersed in quality sound, picture, and performance.

TACOS & MARGARITAS

6:00 PM At the end of our day off we’re more exhausted than if we had slaved away at work all day! Now we are ready to sit back and relax with friends at a place with good food and great atmosphere. We find our friends down the street at Rocko’s Tacos already seated on the outdoor patio and enjoying the crisp fall evening. While sipping on margaritas and waiting for our appetizers, we battle it out in some intense games of ping-pong and oversized jenga. The gourmet tacos and cold margaritas round out the perfect ending to a great day off in Lakewood.

STAYCATION THE SUMMER TOURIST SEASON IS OVER

THERE ARE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE WINTER TOURIST SEASON BEGINS

THIS IS A PERFECT TIME FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY TO ENJOY SOME OF THE THINGS THIS GREAT STATE HAS TO OFFER THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY PASS ON DUE TO BUSY ROADWAYS & LONG LINES.

“Get Back To Nature”

STAYCATION If you have vacation days that need to be used up, weekdays in the fall are a great time to visit the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Even if you have been before the ever changing exhibitions will provide something new to educate and wow you and your family. This fall “Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition” will open and provide a unique, fun and even hands on look into the experiments and demonstrations from the hit TV show.

Keep the nature theme of your staycation going and head to the Denver Botanic Gardens. With plants from all over the world, you are sure to see something you have never seen before. The best Mother Nature has to offer is here and visits always induce a sense of calm and sheer awe of our remarkable ecosystem.

Now that you have seen nature from across the world and through history, it is time to enjoy what we have in our own backyard. Everyone from Colorado knows that the fall foliage here is absolutely breathtaking and many of us take it for granted. Plan a day trip drive to one of our great national parks and soak in the beauty of Colorado in the fall. One of our favorite parks is the newly opened Staunton State Park near Conifer. This 3,800 acre park provides beautiful scenery and great hiking trails and is a great addition to our already wonderful Colorado parks portfolio.

“Sports Lover”

STAYCATION As all sports fans know, fall is the greatest time of the year for edge of your seat game action. Broncos, Buffs and Rams football, baseball playoffs, Rapids soccer; the choices are sometimes overwhelming. Instead of channel surfing, plan a staycation of visiting sports venues.

Whether you are a Buffs fan or a Rams fan, a firsthand college game day experience cannot be topped.

The passion of students and fans is un-paralleled and the atmosphere is always electric. Whether it’s Folsom Field in Boulder or Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins, catching a game is perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

If you are lucky enough to score tickets to a Broncos game, make a day out of it. Denver is known as one of the best tailgating cities in the country and a good tailgate party outside of Sports Authority Field at Mile High is the perfect way to kickoff Broncos gameday.

MANY OF US TAKE OUR GREAT STATE FOR GRANTED. People come from all over the world to visit our museums, national parks, shopping, restaurants, and sporting events. We have endless amounts of entertainment at our fingertips and a growing economy means we will keep adding to that list.

Staycations may lack the glamour of going to an exotic locale, but it just may be the best, most affordable and memorable vacation your family has been on.

October 19th is the Colorado Rapids last regular season home game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and whether or not you are a soccer fan this is a sporting event that you must experience in person. The Rapids are in the middle of another excellent winning season, so the crowds are loud and the games are pulsepounding.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY Halloween can be a fun and scary time for all ages. Perhaps the scariest part of Halloween is that it can be quite dangerous for children that are not properly prepared or joined by an adult.

by Kimba ORR

A

ccording to a Halloween safety study by Safe Kids Worldwide, twice as many child pedestrians are killed while walking on Halloween than any other day of the year. While we would not want to deprive any anxious trick-or-treaters of their special night we do suggest taking proper precautions. Each year we try to top our last costume creation but it is important to remember that safety must always come first!

When picking out a costume make sure it fits properly and doesn’t hinder movement. If a costume is too long it may cause trick-or-treaters to fall down or stumble, which is especially dangerous when crossing the street We suggest using non-toxic face paint instead of wearing a mask to ensure that your child will be able to see their surrounding clearly. If you choose to go with a mask be sure it fits properly and is easy to see out of.

Another way to ensure your Halloween is a safe one is to make sure trick-or-treaters can be easily seen by motorists.

Try adding in some reflective tape to the costume, shoes, or candy bag of your little monster. Give your goblins a creepy glow by sending them out with a glowstick. They can be carried or worn as a necklace, but remind kids not to break them open or chew on the glowsticks because the liquid can be hazardous. A lightweight flashlight is also a good idea; just add fresh batteries and they are ready to go!

Feed your child a snack or a light meal before leaving on their Halloween adventure to reduce the tempation of sampling every piece of candy right away. Adults should always

check all treats first to make sure they have not been tampered with and are safe to eat. Any candy without a wrapper should be thrown away along with any candy that has wrappers that appear old, torn or faded. Homemade gifts are nice but if you don’t know the person giving these special treats it is best to be cautious before consuming!

The popular hours to trick-or-treat are from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Go with your child if he or she is under the age of 12. If you aren’t able to go make sure there is a responsible adult with them. If they are over the age of 12 and want to go with friends, encourage them to stay in a group. Be sure to remind trick-or-treaters of all ages to follow a few safety rules before starting their night. These rules include, going to the intersection to cross the street, obeying all traffic signals, and staying on the sidewalks whenever possible. Remember to NEVER dart between parked vehicles or into the street without checking for traffic.

There are several things for motorists to consider as well on Halloween. When driving, enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and with caution. Watch for pedestrians in residential neighborhoods and be sure to turn on your headlights early. If you are driving with a costume on the same rules apply! Be sure you can see clearly and your movements are not restricted. This may seem like a lot of things to remember but by putting safety first we can make it a very happy Halloween for everyone!

THE ARTISTIC LIFE OF MULTI-TALENTED CARRIE SHIPLEY: A MORRISON BASED ARTIST CREATING MYSTICAL PAINTINGS, TATTOOS, & MUCH MORE

WHERE YOU CAN FIND HER

Some of Carrie’s most recent work includes a collection of goddess inspired painting commissioned by a local beauty salon and an outdoor sign for Morrison’ Rock N’ Roses boutique. When driving by the Morrison Holiday Bar two of Carrie’s original paintings can be seen on the windows above the main level awning.

Carrie will also design a one-of-a-kind tattoo for you, and enjoys drawing women and nudes.

Landscapes, portraits, and henna inspired art are also ‘on her palette’, as she says. She creates artisan jewelry, one- of- a -kind handbags and personal accessories, and also likes to rework vintage clothing.

only five. Carrie’s dad brought her home from kindergarten, but he had to run an errand and when Carrie’s mom came home Carrie had painted the entire sliding glass door, proudly displaying her art work. Carrie was quick to show her mom that it would wipe right off! From

that day on, her mom would let her paint the door so everyone could see from the inside and out just how talented young Carrie was.

After graduating high school, Carrie left her longtime home in Southern Indiana to continue

pursuing her passion for art at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Maryland, where she majored in Fibers. She continued her education at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design (RMCAD) in Denver, Colorado majoring in Illustration and Art

Education. Carrie moved to Morrison and accepted a job in Lakewood at a Jeffco school teaching Jr. High art. Carrie says, “The children were wonderful to work with, helping them discover their hidden talents was very rewarding.”

For the past year Carrie has filled her time as a freelance artist, providing mixed media art in the Denver metropolitan area. She has continued to thrive through her art and the popularity of her work has spread quickly by mere word of mouth. When given the choice, Carrie prefers

to work with ink and watercolor, even though she feels that watercolor is sometimes overlooked. While at art school, oil and acrylic classes were readily available but watercolor classes were harder to find. The technique can be difficult but she feels it should be appreciated in the same way. Carrie uses her love of watercolers in staining archival rag paper and canvases,

which creates depth in the backgrounds of her work.

Carrie has recently been given a very exciting opportunity to once again showcase her talents. She has been asked by the Robin B. Gallery in Chicago to be one of thirty artists to showcase their work at their ‘Grand Opening’. The “Celebrate Chicago!” exhibit opens Thursday, October

3rd at 6pm, and will feature works of each artist represented by Robin B. It will give the community a oneon-one opportunity to personally meet the artists behind the creative expressions of what Chicago means to them.

Carrie’s personal showing will be at the museum in May, 2014 where she will be in attendance to meet collectors and discuss her art.

SEASONAL WEAR: 5 FALL TRENDS YOU SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF RIGHT NOW; CARING FOR YOUR SWEATERS, DARK DENIM, SCARVES & LEATHER

FALL LAYERS

The time for piling on clothes has arrived and, with that, the dreaded fear of looking like an urban Eskimo. But staying warm doesn’t have to equal feeling unwieldy.

Bundle up in style with sleek separates and laid-back accessories.

Pile On Thin Layers Several layers of body-conscious knits, plus a neck-warming scarf, can be as cozy as your favorite chunky fisherman sweater. A waist-cinching belt finishes off the slenderizing look.

Trade Your Coat For A Cape Give yourself a break from your everyday winter coat and trust a chic wrap-around to keep the cold air out.

Balance With Sophisticated Accessories Gorgeous black boots are a winter style must-have — period. Wear your heaviest of sweaters, and scarf, and hat, but tuck your pants into sleek boots — even Elle Macpherson’s fringe feels sophisticated — and your heavier top-half will immediately be balanced out.

Right: Velvet by Graham and Spencer Ponte Tindall skirt in Charcoal, $84.00, velvet-tees.com.

Left, clockwise: AG Jeans The Coated Biker Jacket in Black Slick, $295.00, agjeans.com; Butter London Nail Lacquer in Thames, $15.00, butterlondon.com; Rachel Zoe Silk Jane Blouse in Black/White, $400.00, farfetch.com; Frye Carson Heel Oxford in Camel, $198.00, zappos.com

1. Ponte Whether it is a classic pencil skirt, a slim fitting little black dress or a pair of skinny black pants Ponte is fall’s “it” fabric and is showing up everywhere. Typically made from a soft, stretchy blend of nylon, rayon and spandex this sturdy stretch knit fabric works like a charm to lift, shape and smooth. As a bonus it is incredibly durable and easy to care for making any ponte piece a must-have for the season!

2. Black and White This fall, bold geometric prints in stark black and white are right on trend. Invest in printed separates that can easily be mixed and matched with classic closet staples. Pair a pretty chevron striped blouse with dark denim or match a boldly striped maxi skirt with a denim shirt and leather boots for a fun, casual day look.

SEASONAL WEAR: FALL TRENDS

BY ALLISON PATRICK; DRAGONFLY BOUTIQUE With temperatures starting to cool and the leaves starting to turn new trends are beginning to emerge for the coming fall fashion season. While we all have our favorite pieces that we go to year after year we are also always looking for the next best thing to add to our wardrobe. Here we countdown the five biggest trends of the season that will not only have you looking stylish but will also be versatile enough to pack away for next season along with the rest of your fall favorites:

3. Coated Denim and Faux Leather Details From coated denim pants and jackets to faux leather trimmed tees and tanks this season you can get the luxe look of leather without the staggering price tag. A coated denim moto-jacket combines two of the season’s hottest trends and makes it to the top of our must-have list!

4. Oxfords and Brogues These classic menswear shoe styles are getting a seriously feminine makeover for fall. From classic lace-up oxfords setting atop a stacked heel to funky metallic wing-tips on brightly colored soles, one of fall’s biggest shoe trends is taking a note from the boys. This trend is easily dressed down with denim and a chic button-up or dressed up with patterned tights, a pencil skirt and a silky blouse. *We love the Frye Carson Oxford Heel in Camel http://www.strutdenver.com

5. Emerald Green Whether you’re investing in a pair of stunning emerald green earrings or a silky green blouse make sure to pick up at least one statement piece highlighting this season’s biggest color trend. Go bold with an emerald green leather bag or make a smaller statement with shimmering green nail polish. *Try Butter London Nail Lacquer in Thames

FALL 2013

FASHION: CARING FOR FALL STAPLES

Cool Weather Wear & Care Your favorite fall staples will look better and last longer when you take time to care for the garments & accessories seperately.

KNITS & SWEATERS Remember that delicate knits and sweaters are best left folded. Many knits can “grow” or stretch on the hanger so designate a spot in your dresser for items that need to be folded. When dressing for the season make sure to save your jewelry for last. Knits are easily snagged by even the most delicate of chains so take extra caution to ensure that your best baubles don’t snag your favorite cardigan. Finally, invest in a pill remover. This handy little tool removes pesky sweater pills in one simple swipe and will bring new life to even the oldest of sweaters.

DARK DENIM Always wash your dark denim inside out, in cold water and with like colors. Darker denims are heavily saturated with dye so with a new pair you want to wash at least once before wearing to avoid the dye transferring to lighter colored fabrics. With all denim it is best not to dry them in the dryer – heat not only breaks down the stretch but also weakens the cotton fibers (in short, it will reduce the life of your favorite pair of jeans) but especially in the case of dark denim avoid the dryer to preserve their rich, dark color.

SCARVES Most days scarves are a quick, finishing touch to an outfit that we simply wear from point A to B and, therefore, do not need to be laundered daily. I recommend picking up an at-home dry cleaning bag to toss your scarves into when they need a little freshening up. Many scarves are made from delicate, dry-clean only fabrics and this is an easy and aordable method to keep your scarves looking fabulous all season long.

LEATHER BOOTS & SHOES Visit your local shoe store and stock up on weather-treatment spray for your leather boots and shoes. We recommend Nikwax Fabric and Leather spray that waterproofs any shoe in seconds. Many specialty stores also carry similar sprays that can be used on rubber boots as well as boot deodorizing sprays that will keep your favorite pairs smelling like new.

HEALTH: TRAIL RUNNING

TIME FOR A CHANGE: TRAIL RUNNING

H

ave you been looking for a way to change up your current training routine? Try using one of the great assets Colorado provides by incorporating trail running into your training routine and break up the monotony of always training on a gym track, treadmill, or pavement. Trails are a great place to run or hike and have several distinct advantages compared to running on the pavement. Some of the obvious benefits include the great scenic views and a break from the daily grind in the city.

The first major benefit of trail running is that trails offer natural impact absorption which means you are not putting as much force on your body when you are running compared to pavement which does not offer any impact absorption. When you are running every time your foot lands you are placing about 3 times the force of your body weight on your heels. This can quickly add up to a lot of excess force on your body and build into an overuse injury, soft tissue injury, or possibly a fracture.

The second major benefit of trail running is the improved air quality.

When you are on the trails you will have a break from the pollution produced by cars which most likely surround you if you are running in the city. The amount of air contaminants are generally less along the trails and this can make it easier for you to breath. These are just a couple of the great benefits you can experience if you transition to include trail running in your exercise routine.

You will more than likely fall in love with trail running if you do it regularly, and that’s ok. There are great options for continuing your training with trail running clubs or even trail races. If you do enjoy the trails and decide you want to compete at a trail race the XTERRA Colorado trail run series is a great place to start. This series includes a 5k, half marathon, and full marathon, which will accommodate all levels of runners. The XTERRA Colorado trail run series has four races in the 2013-2014 seasons.

Make sure you consult your health care provider if you have never ran, or you are looking to begin a training routine to make sure you’re healthy and ready to take on the majestic Colorado trails.

CHOICE: CHIROPRACTORS

HISTORY OF CHIROPRACTIC During his time as a magnetic healer, DD Palmer started to theorize that the nervous system was the primary internal factor that alters a person’s health, and with this thinking, the study and practice of chirpractic was born.

by DR. ROBERT SINDORF, DC

D

aniel David Palmer, better known as DD Palmer started chiropractic in 1895. DD Palmer had always been interested in the human body and practiced magnetic healing in Davenport, Iowa. During his time as a magnetic healer DD Palmer started to theorize that the nervous system was the primary internal factor that alters a person’s health.

The first spinal manipulation was performed on September 18th, 1895. At DD Palmers store the janitor, whose name was Harvey Lillard, was deaf and had been deaf for 17 years. DD palmer found out that Harvey Lillard had a large lump in his back and this lump occurred around the time he was lifting something heavy which then resulted in Harvey instantly losing his hearing. Now was the time for DD Palmer to test his theory that a malpositioned vertebra could affect the spinal nerves and in this case alter Harvey Lillards ability to hear. DD Palmer used his hands to reposition the vertebra and Harvey Lillard shortly afterwards regained his hearing.

After treating Harvey Lillard, DD Palmer was even more convinced the spinal nerves control the body and that repositioning a vertebra could take pressure off the nerves and allow the body to function the way that it was designed too. Another patient of DD Palmer, Rev. Samuel Weed, named chiropractic by combining two greek words. Cheiro which means hand, and praktikos which means practical or do; when these two words were put together it formed the word chiropractic which means “done by hand”.

Within one year of helping Harvey Lillard, DD Palmer opened up his first school. With the help of Solon M. Langworthy they brought Chiropractic into a science and a discipline. DD palmer later sold his school to his son BJ Palmer and the school flourished. In the 1920’s his college had an enrollment in the excess of 1,000 students.

Currently Doctors of Chiropractic undergo a rigorous and challenging post graduate education. After completing a bachelor’s degree, Doctors of Chiropractic then attend a 4 year graduate program at an accredited chiropractic college. This education requires a minimum of 4,200 classroom hours and approximately 555 hours of adjustive technique courses. They must also pass 4 sets of national board examinations and a physiotherapy national board exam.

Just like all medical fields doctors of chiropractic have many specialties and multiple post doctorate areas of study.

Doctors of Chiropractic can get post doctorate certifications in veterinary chiropractic, rehabilitation, sports physician, spinal trauma, and sport science. Doctors of Chiropractic can further go into Diplomat programs which require an additional 3 years of course work before they are board certified in: acupuncture, clinical nutrition, radiology, neurology, diagnosis and internal disorders, orthopedics, rehabilitation, sports physicians, family practice, and pediatrics. With so many specialties in chiropractic it is important to know what specialty you are looking for and how the doctor may benefit you best.

5 things to consider when looking for a new doctor of Chiropractic:

about a doctor and their clinic by using the Internet.

Make sure you look up their website and find out what kind of experiences others have had at their clinic. I always advise people to look for a testimonials page because this will give insight to what conditions are commonly treated at their clinic.

These conditions can range from spinal complaints, TMJ, headaches, nerve entrapments, athletic injuries, pregnancy, dietary problems, or musculoskeletal pain.

1. Know the doctor’s specialty and what you need:

4. Feel comfortable with the staff:

Just like all health fields doctors of chiropractic have specialties. These may range from sports medicine chiropractors to chiropractic internists. If they are a sports chiropractor they will be very well skilled in dealing with muscles, joints, and proper rehab exercises.

If your Doctor is an internist they will be more inclined use supplements, diet, and joint manipulation to benefit you and your health.

It is important to feel comfortable with your doctor but make sure you are also comfortable with the front desk staff. You will spend time working with them and talking to them every time you come into the clinic. The front desk will work with you when you check in and answering any insurance or office charge questions. You want to feel comfortable no matter who you are talking to in the clinic.

2. Get a referral if possible: A medical referral is a great thing. It can come from another medical field or from a friend or family member that has had a great experience with their doctor. The referral can help you feel more comfortable when you are going to the doctor for the first time. It can also help you to make sure you are going to the correct doctor of chiropractic for your specific condition.

3. Research the doctor: The world today has made it very easy to have all of the information that you need FALL 2013

5. Understand your charges at the office: Financial obligation is always a portion of your office visit that you may or may not feel comfortable with.

Therefore, it is important to completely understand what charges you are responsible for at each visit. Make sure if you don’t understand the charges that the front desk staff takes the time to completely answer these for you.

If you have insurance it is important to make sure your doctor of chiropractic is in network with your insurance company.

CHOICES IN LAKEWOOD

CHIROPRACTORS Dr. Rosanne Parimuha, DC & Dr. Lee Parimuha, DC Choosing a holistic approach to healthcare has become a rising trend among Lakewood residents and the most common form of holistic health care in Lakewood is provided by chiropractic care. To help Lakewood residents make informed choices about chiropractic care, this edition of Living in Lakewood includes two articles on The History of Chiropractic Care and How to Select Your Chiropractor.

Lakewood residents are health oriented and progressive.

This makes chiropractic care a natural philosophical fit for many Lakewood residents. The holistic nature of chiropractic care usually includes an emphasis on a healthy lifestyle including exercise, nutrition and preventative care.

Lakewood residents are very active and many participate in mountain sports which sometimes results in injuries. Treatment of injuries with chiropractic care is a well-respected and essential part of unified medical treatment that often includes other medical professionals.

FALL 2013

The Lakewood chiropractic community includes approximately 35 clinics. In addition to chiropractors, these clinics are often staed with massage therapists, nutritionists and acupuncturists. The Living in Lakewood magazine is a lifestyle magazine and we are pleased to provide you with a peek into the lives of the husband and wife team of Dr. Lee and Dr. Rosanne Parimuha.

DR. ROSANNE PARIMUHA & DR. LEE PARIMUHA, CHOICE CHIROPRACTORS Non-Force Chiropractors

D

r. Lee and Dr. Rosanne are not typical chiropractors and their paths for becoming chiropractors were not typical. Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Lee was a respiratory therapist and an Army medical lab/aid technician. Dr. Rosanne was a massage therapist before becoming a chiropractor. Although they did not take a direct career path to chiropractic care, the chiropractor profession seems to suit them. Dr. Rosanne has now been practicing for 26 years and Dr. Lee for 25 years.

Dr. Lee and Dr. Rosanne both attended chiropractic college in California and then stayed on to practice for 17 years in California before moving to Lakewood 8 years ago. Dr. Lee was originally from the Denver area, so the move to Colorado was a homecoming of sorts. “Non-force� chiropractic is not a misnomer, although it may seem to be because 80-90% of chiropractors use force style. Dr. Lee and Dr. Rosanne have used non-force technique since they started practicing.

Dr. Lee and Dr. Rosanne have received special training in non-force and Somatic Release Technique, or SRT. Dr. Rosanne was mentored by Dr. HJ Kimura who helped develop this technique over his 50 years of practicing.

Mentors of Dr. Lee and Dr. Rosanne include Dr. Douglas Mosher DC, master nonforce chiropractor and developer of B.E.A.M. technique and Dr. Chris John DC, master compiler and on-going developer of directional nonforce technique.

LIVING IN... CONTRIBUTOR & LIFE-LONG COUNTRY COOK KIMBA ORR TAKES US THROUGH A STRESS-FREE THANKSGIVING PREPARATION; TRIVIA!

ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS STRESS FREE Is this your first Thanksgiving meal to prepare?

Are you stressing out at the thought? Let us help you plan a day you can enjoy along with your guests.

EARLY NOVEMBER Plan your menu. Turkey is the traditional meat so if you want a fresh one order it now. Frozen turkeys will be on sale for the holidays, so take advantage of the specials.

Just remember that a frozen turkey takes 4 to 5 days to thaw safely in the refrigerator so plan accordingly and don’t wait until the last minute to shop.

Go to your local florist to order any center pieces you might want for the holiday. Florists are very busy this time of year so plan ahead.

59

4

4 DAYS OUT

Start defrosting the turkey in the coldest part of the fridge.

Start making your shopping list. It may be easier to remember what you need by writing down your menu, pulling out all the recipes, and checking to see what you already have on hand so you are not doubling up on some ingredients and forgetting something else. Your list will undoubtedly be long so check things off as you search your pantry.

Go shopping Make pie crust dough, roll out, and put into pie pans to freeze.

2 DAYS OUT The holidays are a good time to bring out your best dishes. Make sure they are free of dust and wash any that have not been used recently. Make sure the glasses are spot free.

Check the table linens to see it they are clean and free of wrinkles.

Your cranberry sauce can be made now.

A couple of days in the refrigerator will enhance the flavor.

Cut or cube your bread for the stuffing and lay it out on a baking sheet in a single layer so it has a chance to dry out. Stale bread makes the best stuffing!

THE DAY BEFORE If you ordered a fresh turkey today is the day you should pick it up.

Prepare the stuffing, but if you are using raw eggs in the stuffing leave them out until you are ready to bake it.

Make the giblet stock for the gravy. (if you don’t know what giblets are, ask your Grandma!)

Take out the pie crust from freezer to defrost.

Make pies and any other desserts.

Peel potatoes and refrigerate them in a pan of water Prepare the vegetable casseroles and side dishes that require baking. You can either bake them today and reheat on Thanksgiving or wait and bake them right before dinner.

Set the table tonight or first thing in the morning.

Plan out your cooking schedule for the next day.

Depending on what time you are eating and how big the turkey is will determine what time you need to start your day, so plan accordingly! If you have a small oven you will need to plan bake times and temperatures very carefully. Writing down a specific timeline for everything will be very helpful.

THANKSGIVING DAY

Don’t panic! If you have stuck to your schedule you will be fine!

Set out the turkey. It should sit out about 2 hours before putting it in the oven.

Finish making the stuffing and if you are using eggs it is safe to put them in now.

Preheat the oven and if stuffing the turkey do it now. Put turkey in oven, basting every 30 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the size of your bird, so look up recommended cook times.

You can easily look up cook times online (we recommend www.allrecipes.com) Make the mashed potatoes (about an hour before mealtime set them over simmering water in a heat proof bowl on the back of your stove to keep them warm and fluffy.)

If your casseroles are ready but have not been baked put them in the oven an hour before the feast so they will be hot when serving. If you cooked them earlier, reheat 30 minutes before.

Check the turkey for doneness in the thigh area or thickest part of the turkey with a meat thermometer making sure it reads 165 degrees.

Remove turkey from oven and let it sit 30 minutes before carving. (Now that the turkey is out of the oven you can put the pre-cooked casseroles back in to reheat.)

Make the gravy, allowing at least 10 minutes , if you are making a lot of gravy it takes awhile.

Put salads and relishes on the table and make sure the beverage glasses are filled. The hot dishes should be put in serving dishes so that they can be passed.

Everything should be on the table! Have everyone take their seat and bring in the guest of honor, the turkey!

SEASONAL: THANKSGIVING PREP

CARVING THE BIRD Place your bird on a cutting board with a deep perimeter well to capture the flavorful juices of the bird as you are carving. A carving set which includes a twopronged fork and a sharp non-serrated knife can be very helpful while you are working on this masterpiece of a meal.

Let the bird sit at room temperature for about twenty minutes before you begin carving. This will allow the juices in the bird to settle and will result in a more flavorful and moist meat. If you carve the turkey too quickly the juices will run out and the meat will be dry.

If you trussed the bird, which means you wrapped it in twine, carefully remove the string from around the turkey. If you used any skewers to hold the inner cavity of the bird closed remove these now.

If you had placed your stuffing inside the bird while cooking use a long handled spoon and scoop the stuffing out. If you are having a hard time getting all the stuffing out make a small incision at the neck of the turkey. You can usually reach the remainder of the stuffing from this side easily. Save yourself a step and put your stuffing into a serving dish now.

Start cutting the turkey by first removing the leg and thigh from each side. Begin removing the thigh by cutting through the thin layer of skin holding the thigh to the body of the turkey. Continue with this cut until you reach the hip joint. Insert the knife tip into the hip joint and cut to sever the entire thigh and leg from the body. Repeat this process on the other side of the turkey.

Separating the leg and thigh is very easy. Locate the joint between these two parts and cut until you reach the joint. Pull the two apart until you can see the joint holding them together and then separate these two structures. It requires little effort to cut through the seam between the leg and thigh.

Since your thigh is now free you want to slice the meat off it. A great tip for everyone is to remove the thigh meat from the bone before trying to cut it into neat slices. Remove the meat from the bone by gently scraping the meat until you see the outline of the bone. Then run the tip of the knife around the edges of the bone to separate it from the meat. The bone is then ready to be removed cleanly. The remaining thigh meat can be sliced neatly and easily into serving sized portions.

Removing the wings is similar to removing the thighs. Gently pull the wing until you can locate the ball joint that attaches it to the body. Insert the knife tip into the joint and twist while pulling the wing. The wing will easily separate from the body with a couple additional cuts to remove tendons around the joint. No further work is required because the wing is best served whole.

Now you are ready to slice the breast meat. Don’t look like a novice by cutting the breast inward towards the bone. If you truly want to impress your friends and family follow our method for cleaning this part of the bird.

Find the breastbone at the top and center of the breast. Make your first cut right down the length of the turkey on one side of the bone. Make repeated slices that are deeper each time. Do this until you are able to cut all of the breast meat from one side of the bone. The breast should come away in one large chunk. Repeat this on the other side of the bone.

Place your prized chunk of turkey breast on a cutting board and slice the boneless meat into handsome medallions. Medallion cuts will retain more juices than the thin familiar slices we are all accustomed to having at thanksgiving dinner. Cut the breast meat against the grain for easier cutting and better looking cuts of meat.

Trust us your guests will thank you once they taste the difference.

Collect your treasured cuts and arrange them on your serving platter becase you are ready to feast!

THANKSGIVING TRIVIA The first Thanksgiving was celebrated at Jamestown.

It was about twenty miles north of Jamestown, Virginia. The colonists started a yearly autumn feast on December 4, 1620, at the small 8,000 acre hamlet of Berkeley Hundred. It was called a “day of thanksgiving” to God and was held annually to remember the day they arrived in Virginia in 1619.

It is also believed that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the pilgrims in 1621 after surviving a year in the New World. The local Wampanoag Native American tribe was invited by the pilgrims to help celebrate because they had helped them work the land and survive the winter. It was held in Plymouth, MA. The feast lasted 3 days. It was not the Thanksgiving meal we think of, but consisted of lobster, rabbit, chicken, eggs, goat cheese, cabbage, leeks, and radishes.

Before 1863 The President of the U. S. would declare when Thanksgiving would be held by making a ‘Thanksgiving Proclamation’. President Lincoln officially set aside the last Thursday in November to be Thanksgiving.

In 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed Thanksgiving to the third Thursday of November to try to help the struggling economy by making the holiday shopping season longer. It remained that way until 1941, when congress once again declared Thanksgiving to be held on the fourth Thursday of November.

The first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was held in 1924. It featured Central Park zoo animals, people in costumes, and floats.

The first large helium-filled balloon was of Felix the Cat in 1927.

Each year, more that 2 million people line the streets of New York City to watch the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade began airing on network television in 1948 and is now watched by about 50 million people.

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird, but Thomas Jefferson vehemently opposed the idea. It is said that Benjamin retaliated by naming the male turkeys “toms” after Jefferson.

Approximately 242 million turkeys are raised each year for Thanksgiving dinner.

91% of American homes serve turkey on Thanksgiving because it is readily available. The turkey actually has no historic ties to Thanksgiving.

The day after Thanksgiving is known as “Black Friday” and is the official start of the holiday season.

The average person consumes 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving Day.
