ATTENTION CUSTOMERS!
THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED Monday, May 27th for Memorial Day. We will re-open Tuesday, May 28th. Early Deadline for May 29th publication is Wednesday, May 22nd at 12pm. I bet you remember me, but I'm trying to remember my manners so I'll introduce myself anyway! I'm Timothy, but I am a man of many names... Timberly, Timmy, Timmy-Tim and Timberlina to list a few, but that last one ruffles my fluff! I'm two years old and I've never had a real home, but drifting from shelter to shelter since kittenhood isn't a life I'd wish on any cat... and I don't really like other cats, so that's saying a lot! I love to eat, play and rub against legs and friendly hands. I'm a happy boy when I'm out of my cage, but I can admit I've got an attitude when it's time to go behind bars again. Sometimes I'm antsy and lash out because of it, especially if I sense your nerves. I need a calm, cat experienced human who will give me the run of the house and love me until my sass melts away. There has to be someone out there who will save me! The CCC is in need of supplies, especially litter (Scoop Away), bleach, laundry detergent, dry and wet cat and kitten food (Purina/Friskies), paper towels, trash bags, and treats! Any help is very much appreciated! We are located at 289 Thompson Road in Webster and are open Thursday through Sunday 12pm-3:30pm. You can see more of our adoptable cats on Petfinder and Adopt-a-pet and we would love it if you would follow us and share our kitties on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com /pages/Community-Cat Connection/18375625177438. Please email us at info@ccatconnect.org for any questions!

A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. Eating healthy, eating safe (BPT) - You try to eat healthy, but the one thing you can't control is who has been handling your food and whether they are practicing adequate food safety. Each year, foodborne illnesses sicken close to 50 million Americans and lead to more than 130,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. A lot of these illnesses are caused by simple things like restaurant employees' failure to properly wash hands, cooking surfaces and fruits and vegetables.

The fresh-bagged salads you see at the grocery store are a good example of this. Vacuum-packed products, prepared under rigorous hygienic conditions and heated at lower temperatures, are another.
Other technologies include the addition of antimicrobial agents such as enzymes and other natural compounds that inhibit the growth of bacteria or prevent oxidation.

This results in a product of vastly improved taste and nutritional quality because of the improved retention of other nutrients. However, as the federal government pushes companies toward lower salt content there are some concerns that it could affect food safety and increase the amount of preservatives that must be used. Many prefer salt as the more natural choice. Fortunately, food safety is a leading concern of the Food and Drug Administration and its Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb,
and the newly appointed Deputy Commissioner, Frank Yiannas, who was previously Vice President of Food Safety at Walmart, and Director of Safety and Health at Walt Disney World. Food safety is an ongoing challenge for an enormous and complex food system, and although challenges continually arise, exercising caution and attention in food purchasing, storage and preparation will minimize the risks. Remember to not only eat healthy but to also eat safely.

A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. Understanding the fitness-related ‘rhabdo' Have you heard of “rhabdo”? No, it’s not the latest superfood seed imported from the heart of the rainforest. Also dubbed the “spinning disease,” rhabdo, short for rhabdomyolysis, is a serious condition known to the medical world for years, but is only recently garnering more widespread attention thanks to the high-impact fitness craze. According to the Harvard Medical School, rhabdo is a rare condition that occurs when muscle cells burst and leak their contents into the blood stream. This can cause kidney injury, dark or brown urine, weakness, and muscle soreness. Trauma, medication and drug or alcohol misuse can contribute to rhabdo, but so can intense physical activity.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a self-empowerment tool perfect for honoring emotions as they occur. EFT is also referred to as ‘Tapping’, due to the involved practice of physically tapping on acupressure points. This stimulates the brain allowing you to acknowledge intense feelings and reduce their effects, simultaneously calming your body’s fight or flight response and lowering stress. Tianna Mercier is passionate about sharing the gift of EFT following immensely positive personal experiences with its use. After suffering from a traumatic head injury, she experienced many unexpected emotional side effects due to a condition called Post-Concussive Syndrome. Discovering and utilizing EFT was instrumental in her recovery and growth. She has now dedicated herself to sharing the benefits of EFT with as many as she can.

WEBSTER - Bring any type of watercraft from kayaks, canoes, PWCs, sailboats, cabin cruisers, to ski & pontoon boats for a stem to stern check of equipment for compliance to federal and state safety regulations. Vessels can be inspected on a trailer as well as afloat. Trailered vessels, not having Webster access sticker and not launching, can be examined at the entrance gate to Memorial Ramp. Personal Watercraft, not allowed to launch at the Wallum Lake Ramp on weekends, can also be examined at the gate. Both locations can accommodate boats arriving by water. The stations will be active from 9 AM to 4 PM at both these locations.
Vessel Examiners are qualified and experienced to answer any boating related questions or concerns along with being trained to spot any potential problems. They will award your vessel with a 2019 VSC decal if it meets Auxiliary standards on items such as: registration & hull numbering, life jackets, fire extinguishers, expiration dates on flares (if required), working navigation lights, overall vessel condition, etc. A VSC is conducted only with your consent; no reports are filed with any law enforcement agency. There are no citations, legal obligations, or penalties on violations or potential problems found. A VSC decal might result in a boat insurance discount and will indicate to law enforcement on the water that your vessel complies with safety regulations. The Examiner will give the vessel owner options and information on correcting any issues. Often a quick trip to the nearest boating supply vendor is all that is necessary to obtain missing safety items and easily pass a reinspection, sometimes on the same day. Coast Guard Auxiliary Vessel Examiners will be around the local lakes at various, un-scheduled times during the boating season; they are few in number and not readily available inland. Can’t make it to the station…schedule a VSC online at the link below. Best to take advantage of this scheduled opportunity and start your boating season with a visit to our station and a free 2019 VSC Decal on your craft. http://www.vesselsafetycheck.org/ CGAux1002@aol.com
