was fortunate to have many grandparents and great-grandparents who positively influenced the man I am today. One of them cooked for me, one took me fishing, one laughed with me, one was a loving preacher and matriarch, one was very proud of her family, one was a teacher, one humbly and effortlessly rose above life’s nonsense, and one instilled in me how to treat others respectfully. As I write this letter, I’m thinking about them and I’m remembering things I haven’t thought about for quite some time. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have grandparents’ fingerprints on our souls become like our grandparents in many ways. It’s my experience that teachings from those loved ones – the teachings that are true, pure and unconditionally loving – become the gold in each of us. It’s a blessing to recognize their influence. To all of you who are fortunate to be grandparents or great-grandparents: Happy Grandparents Day! Grandparents Day is Sunday, September 13…and the day is yours. I believe Grandparents Day should be celebrated with the same reverence as Thanksgiving Day. After all, for many of us, what grandparents give truly is immeasurable.
When life becomes complicated, and our health is challenged, new medical tests, new drugs and new procedures can create more questions and uncertainty. Examining how we treat our bodies every day may bring us more miracles than advanced medicine ever could. I have always viewed September as the “on deck circle” for the holidays and family time. In many ways, it’s the calm before the chaos. So, this month and Labor Day weekend, take time to enjoy your grandparents, your grandchildren, and your loved ones, and remember where you came from. Spend some time with those beloved bullpen life coaches. After all, there’s a good chance they’re the ones who instilled in you how to handle life’s curveballs. Make your days great…you’re in charge of them.

Healthy Aging
Individual Retirement Account for Health (IRAH)
I
write this month’s article from a beautiful remote area of Maine, helping my sister prepare for our niece’s wedding. She had been carefully planning and preparing for the big event for many months, after learning it would be held at her home. Time flew by at lightning speed and the big day finally arrived. We were ready, perhaps not perfectly ready, but we had done everything possible. Not unlike my niece’s wedding, the important milestones in our lives such as graduation, first job, first home, the birth of children, grandchildren and their weddings all come with a certain amount of required preparation. Without the necessary preparation the desired outcome is often beyond our reach. This is certainly true of our health! New approaches to aging often center on developing a new medical breakthrough, drug, laser or high tech surgical procedure. Aging science speaks to new ways to slow the aging process or how to manipulate damaged cells with the hope of developing novel drugs that will take years to bring to market. There are some very bright lights on the horizon, however, and the research on telomere lengths is particularly exciting. Telomeres are the biologic clock
in the cell’s genetic code for aging. As your telomeres get shorter, your life gets shorter. Dr. Dean Ornish conducted a study that showed the condition of the telomeres was improved an average of nearly 30% after just 3 months in patients who improved their lifestyle, exercise, attitude and nutrition. This is an exciting discovery yet many have a hard time believing that the simple choices we make in our daily lives can be as powerful as drugs or surgery, with often better results. Antiaging is quite the buzz word these days but if you think about it antiaging isn’t the goal, longevity or living a health filled life is the big event we need to prepare for. So how do we do this? Dr. William Sears, author of Prime Time Health: A Scientifically Proven Plan for Feeling Young and Living Longer, identifies the “Fabulous Four” key components of planning for Prime Time Health as: Save enough money, Save enough time, Nurture your relationships and Maintain your health. Why is health an essential ingredient? Not everyone is able to save enough money or have the time freedom they would like but you can always work to save your health. In my professional practice it breaks my heart when I see people investing all their time and energy into accumulating their Individual Retirement Account (IRA), at the expense of their health. Later they are willing to spend any amount

possible to regain their health. There is not a one of us whose life has not been touched by a significant health challenge i.e. cancer, heart disease or stroke either personally or by someone we love. I am continually inspired by those who have shared that “Being diagnosed with a life threatening illness was the best thing that ever happened to me”. How could this be true? What followed was the realization that their DNA was not their destiny, and they were empowered by the lessons they could implement for themselves and share with others. It is never too late, or too early to make lifestyle, exercise, attitude and nutrition deposits into your personal Individual Retirement Account for Health (IRAH) that will positively position you for the opportunity to live a health filled life.
What is meant by investing in your Personal Prime Time Plan for Health with “your personal IRAH deposits”? Let’s briefly touch on a few of these:
Have a healthy heart! Because every organ in the body relies on the blood vessels supplying it, you are only as young or as old as your blood vessels. Healthy vessels are smooth, flexible and stay wide open. The healthy heart is strong and blood flows freely. Dr. Sears explains that the billions of cells that line your arteries don’t just sit there: they do something, functioning like a smooth highway over which the traffic of blood flows. This lining contains metabolically active cells that function like medicine bottles, releasing hormones and other substances to help maintain the vessel’s health. These hormones act like chemical messengers telling the arteries and other vessels to behave in a healthful way. A healthy endothelium releases nitric oxide in just the right amount and time. Nitric oxide is the body’s natural vasodilator, widening arteries and increasing blood flow to meet the body’s changing need for energy. This discovery of Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Lou Ignarro explains why we all benefit from regular exercise. Exercise is the only known process that causes a consistent and cont. pg 10

continuous production of nitric oxide by the endothelial cells even after you have finished your exercise for the day. In summary, nitric oxide prompts the body to make its own medicine and theses medicines lower the “highs” i.e. high blood pressure and high cholesterol and raises the “lows.” This lowers the need for antidepressants, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medicine as well as regulates blood clotting and blood flow. This explains why the need for additional pharmacology is often decreased once a regular and consistent exercise plan is implemented. Protect your brain and don’t be a statistic! Did you know that: the average brain loses about 50% of its 15 billion brain cells between the ages of 20 and 95 and that the brain size and mental acuity shrink as we age? While it is true that 360,000 new cases of Alzheimer’s disease are reported each year, Dr. Sears reminds us that we don’t need to be average. Your brain is the organ most affected by what you eat, requiring the right carbohydrates and the right fats. “Oceans of research” shows that omega-3 fats benefit brain health, and since the brain requires more omega-3’s than any other organ it makes sense that it will be most affected when there is a deficiency in the body. Omega-3s help regrow aging brain
cells and facilitate the action of neuroprotectin, the brain’s youth hormone. Selected fish such as wild caught Pacific salmon, blueber-
ries, greens, nuts, and whole grains together with the avoidance of chemicals and additives all support a healthy brain.
Be good to your gut! It is no small wonder that there are so many ads for heartburn, indigestion, and constipation aids as these occur frequently during Prime Time.

and labeled according to the guidelines for ultraviolet light protection established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Feed your eyes with “nature’s sunglasses”, foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin. A cup of greens three times a week supplies the necessary amount. Corn has the highest amount of zeaxanthin of any vegetable. Seafood, berries, and avoidance of processed carbohydrates are excellent strategies. Maintaining a stable blood sugar improves your ability to focus. Take frequent eye breaks from reading, TV or the computer screen. In my workshops we practice simple exercises you can do at home to strengthen the eye muscles. Tune up your hearing! Protect your hearing by using ear plugs to muffle loud noises (music, lawn mower, blender) and noise protective earphones for prolonged elevated noise levels, especially during air travel. Pay special attention to the speaker’s lips, facial expressions and body language to enhance understanding. This is a valuable skill to develop before and after hearing assistance is used. Enjoy better breathing! Keep the nose and sinuses clear and well hydrated with adequate fluid intake and the use of a facial steamer or neti pot, if indicated. We practice belly breathing and windmill walking in my workshops with almost immediate benefit noted by all. Seek help to quit smoking. Be good to your gums by rinsing your mouth and swishing frequently throughout the day. Numerous foods including pomegranate juice inhibit bacteria from adhering to the teeth. Brushing after meals, paying special attention to the gum line as well as excellent nutrition will keep inflammation in check. Be encouraged that it is possible to build better bones! You can build muscle as you age and for every 1% increase in bone strength you decrease your risk of osteoporosis by 6%. Vitamin D, calcium rich foods and a weight bearing strength program are essential tools for healthy bones and joints. This is but a sampling of the tools and strategies available to prepare us for the Prime Time of our life. Are you ready? Cheree M. Albert MSN, CRNP, CPNP is the owner of Integrity Health Source LLC.

Votran is 40 years old and still rolling strong as it continues to expand services to Volusia County residents and visitors. Last year, ridership reached an all-time high as it topped 4 million. The public transportation system not only helps people get from one place to another, it has supported special events, reduced traffic congestion and pollution, and even assisted in emergency evacuations. From fixed routes to flexible service, Votran has been a leader in transit as it evolved into the award-winning system of today.
The transit system took a giant leap forward in 1993, when the downtown Daytona Beach Transfer Plaza was opened. Over the next two years, the service went countywide as Votran implemented the east/west connector service and added routes in New Smyrna Beach and West Volusia. When natural disasters struck, Votran came to the rescue. The fleet provided emergency transportation during the massive wildfires of 1998, Tropical Storm Gordon in 1994, a trio of hurricanes in 2004, and Hurricane Wilma in 2005. In the past decade, the transit system has continued to respond to changing community needs, introducing night service in the core Daytona Beach area, installing bike racks on buses, initiating flexible service in southeast Volusia, increasing frequency on U.S. 1, and providing feeder bus service to the new SunRail station in DeBary. Votran, which began with a fleet of standard diesel engines, has found “it’s easy being green,” adding low-emission diesel engines, electric hybrid buses and propane buses to its growing fleet in recent years. Today’s fleet includes 117 buses for fixed route and paratransit service. Votran has embraced the digital age, and bus riders have reaped the benefits. The system uses vehicle locators and digital tools for passengers. Riders can plan their trips and purchase tickets online, sign up for text alerts, and use their cell phones to find out when the next bus will arrive.

HISTORY BRANCH
History of Labor Day
The Intent Behind a Day Honoring the Working People
I
f you appreciate job benefits and sanitary and safe working conditions then you also appreciate the Labor Day holiday on the first Monday in September. In the U.S., that day is set aside to honor the contributions of workers. Labor unions in the late 19th century lobbied in favor of the special day and, in 1894, it became a federal holiday. Origins of Celebrations by and for Labor The Labor Day holiday originated in traditional celebrations of artisanal and craft workers that stretch back to the guilds of medieval times. Before the Civil War, trade groups and labor unions sponsored parades and picnics with speeches praising the contributions of the independent craftsman to society. But during the late 19th century’s Gilded Age, workers lives changed drastically as the U.S. industrialized rapidly, and by 1900 surpassing economic powerhouses like Britain and Germany. This boom occurred at a time of intense labor strife characterized by historian Michael Lind as “a class war and the capitalists won.” Labor responded to new working conditions – filthy and dangerous, long hours, low wages and tyrannical regimentation – by unionizing and striking. These strikes usually failed. As a result, five times more workers unionized in the U.S. than in Germany, according to Lind, mostly because in the 1880s Germany extended health care insurance, improved working conditions and other benefits to their workers.

protests there was little government regulation of industry and workers compensation did not exist until the New Deal in the 1930s. As a result, families were impoverished when the breadwinner was killed or maimed in an industrial accident. Moreover, skilled craft workers were losing out to mechanization. Employers dealt with a roller-coaster economy, and they cut wages and demanded longer hours – or replaced workers with machines.

These deaths between 1890 and 1917. Typically questions perplexed the Gilded Age and they workers labored through 12-hour days, six or continue to be asked today!
The First Labor Day Celebration Workers continued to protest, and they also met to overcome their challenges and to gather in fellowship. One such event in New York City led to the development of today’s Labor Day holiday. On September 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took a day of unpaid leave to march in a huge parade followed by a massive picnic, and then fireworks and dancing, according to Linda Stinson, a former U.S. Department of Labor historian. Newspapers of the day called the huge turnout a success and a “day of the people,” according to Stinson. The date for this “workingmen’s holiday” was selected to coincide with a conference held by the Knights of Labor, the first nationwide labor union whose goals included an eight-hour day, safety standards, equal pay for women, and abolition of child labor. The idea for a “workingmen’s holiday” caught on and was adopted by industrial centers throughout the nation. Adoption of Labor Day was spurred by the growing intensity of strikes and the violent response by management often backed by troops supplied by the states and federal government. Two infamous events in particular increased support for setting aside a day to honor the dignity of labor. In 1886, the so-called Haymarket Riot, in which several policemen and workers were killed, was followed by what historians today regard as a sham trial that led to the conviction and execution of four workers. In 1894, a watershed moment in American labor history occurred in the midst of a fiveyear economic downturn, a union went out cont. pg. 28

on strike against the Pullman Palace Car Company, which had slashed their wages. The American Railroad Union, led by Eugene V. Debs, called for a boycott of all Pullman railway cars, causing a nationwide crisis. To break the strike, President Grover Cleveland agreed to dispatch federal troops to Chicago, where days of rioting ensued. In the aftermath of huge labor unrest, Congress hastened to repair relations with American labor, and rushed to pass unanimously legislation making Labor Day a federal holiday, and all states quickly adopted the holiday. Today’s Holiday Many of the ways that we celebrate Labor Day are also derived from our past.
We aim to establish a normal work-day, to take the children from the factory and workshop and give them the opportunity of the school and the playground. (We) strive to lighten toil, to educate, to make workers homes more cheerful, and to contribute toward making life better and worth living.”

Parades and speeches continue to promote “the strength and esprit de corps” of trade and labor organizations, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, followed by picnics and barbeques for families and supporters. But retailers also see the long weekend as another opportunity for offering supposed sales. This practice deprives retail workers of a day off, the sector of our economy that is one of the least unionized. For many Americans, the Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer and for many of school-age, it’s back to the books. For sports fans, Labor Day marks the start of the NFL, NCAA and college football seasons. In 2015, the Southern 500 NASCAR auto race will return to Darlington, S.C. and the finals to the U.S. Nationals drag race are held. Labor Day is the mid-point of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships held at Flushing Meadows,
Regardless of how we plan to spend the Labor Day holiday, the words of Samuel Gompers, one of the great labor leaders of the early 20th century, and counselor to presidents, reminds us of the intent behind a day honoring working people. Speaking to McClure’s Magazine in 1912, Gompers said he attempted “To improve the standard of life, to uproot ignorance and foster education, to instill character, manhood and independent spirit among our people; to bring about a recognition of the interdependence of man upon his fellow man.

Natural Health: Natural Nutritional and Herbal Supplements It comes to no surprise that our food situation in the United States is a far cry from nutritionally sound. So many factors play a part in this puzzle from depletion of topsoil, harmful pesticides herbicides synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified crops, and preventing food from being able to ripen on the vine naturally do too early harvesting in order to ship all over the world. Young and old alike are suffering from this travesty. However senior citizens have additional concerns to deal with in addition to the condition of the food itself. It is a fact that most prescription drugs can deplete nutrients or prevent them from being absorbed in our bodies. As we age, our bodies’ need for nutrients increases. Seniors are in need of good nutrition and should consider the fact that their prescriptions may be causing malabsorption of nutrients. According to the University of Florida College of Nursing and Health, approximately one half of Americans 65 years and older take five or more prescription drugs daily and many are mixing them with herbal and nutritional supplements. This could pose a dangerous problem resulting in a drug interaction. Even something seemingly harmless like a grapefruit could be a catalyst for complications. For example, grapefruit can affect the way your medication is metabolized increasing its effects in your body. Some herbal supplements are very powerful and could cause a severe reaction when mixing with prescription drugs. I always advise my clients to check with a pharmacist for possible interactions when mixing supplements and drugs. At a time when aging Americans are trying to do their best and supplementing their food intake with nutritional products, it is wise and better safe than sorry to check. Natural nutritional and herbal supplements can be a quite nice addition to your regimen and can offer additional benefits to your natural health.

“Grand” Parents and “Grand” Children: a legacy of teachers and learners
A
Chinese proverb explains, “To forget one’s ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents), is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root.” A more modern source puts it this way: “Young people need something stable to hang on to — a culture connection, a sense of their own past, a hope for their own future. Most of all, they need what grandparents can give them.” ( Jay Kesler).
author and columnist. He goes on to say, “You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.” Gene Perret, best known for his writing for Carol Burnette and Bob Hope sees it this way, “Grandparents are there to help the child
What can grandparents give? They can give unconditional positive regard, which is rarely given by anyone except a grandparent! Or as Marcy DeMaree reminisced, “Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you, all day, and now her day was complete.” Also, they can give time, as one grandchild eloquently stated: “Grandpas always have time for you when everyone else is too busy.” Grandparents can provide a safe place. “There’s no place like home, except of course Grandma’s.” “The best babysitters in the world, of course, are the baby’s grandparents”, according to Dave Barry, Pulitzer Prize-winning American

By Loren Fish, LCSW
child psychiatry, Alvin F. Poussaint, informs that, “Grandfathers have a special place in the lives of their children’s children. They can delight and play with them and even indulge them in ways that they did not indulge their own children. And, Grandfather knows that after the fun and games are over with his adorable grandchildren he can return to the quiet of his own home and peacefully reflect on this phenomenon of fatherhood.” Our past U.S. President, Jimmy Carter has this to say about the significant role a grandparent plays, “Because (grandparents) are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsibility for them, they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.”
Fred Rogers, American television personality, educator, Presbyterian Minister, etc., A professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical shares why he sees grandparents as important School and the author of numerous books on in a child’s learning process. “The presence of a grandparent” he says, “confirms that parents were, indeed, little once, too, and that people who are little can grow to be big, can become parents, and one day even have grandchildren of their own. So often we think of grandparents as belonging to the past; but in this Robert Cordero, M.D. Kevin M. Barber, M.D. Ryan T. Scruggs, M.D. Phillip J. Mackinder, O.D. important way, grandparents, for young children, belong to the future.”

An inheritance is more than possessions. A Godly inheritance, as the Ampiflied Bible puts it, also involves moral stability and goodness. If you are a grandparent, or going to be one, you owe it to your own legacy to consider this intangible inheritance, highlighted by Solomon.
What kind of inheritance are we leaving our grandchildren, earthly or heavenly? Solomon’s father King David encourages us to leave a heavenly legacy with these words from Psalm 103:13-19 (CEB):
Like a parent feels compassion for their children— that’s how the Lord.feels compassion for those who honor him. 14 Because God knows how we’re made, God remembers we’re just dust. 15 The days of a human life are like grass:they bloom like a wildflower; 16 but when the wind blows through it, it’s gone; even the ground where it stood doesn’t remember it. 17 But the Lord’s faithful love is from forever ago to forever from now for those who honor him. And God’s righteousness reaches to the grandchildren 18 of those who keep his covenant and remember to keep his commands. 19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. 13
And Deuteronomy 4:9 confirms, 9 Be on your guard! Make certain that you do not forget, as long as you live, what you have seen with your own eyes. Tell your children and your grandchildren! Yet, Grandchildren are not only learners, they can be teachers as well. Referencing Mr. Perret’s experience as a grandfather, “My grandchild has taught me what true love means. It means watching Scooby-Doo cartoons while the basketball game is on another channel.” Ruth Goode, in her ‘’A Book for Grandmothers’’ (1977) wrote, “Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends — and hardly ever our own grown children.” There is a unique bond that takes place between grandparents and grandchildren. And grandchildren have an effect on grandparents that cannot be explained. Mike Krzyzewski notes, “It’s funny what happens when you become a grandparent. You start to act all goofy and do things you never thought you’d do. It’s terrific.” And Doug Larson chimes in, “The idea that no one is perfect is a view most commonly held by people with no grand-
children.” A Jewish proverb adds, “One of life’s greatest mysteries is how the boy who wasn’t good enough to marry your daughter can be the father of the smartest grandchild in the world.” Grandchildren connect us with our lost childhood. We have been playing the role of adult for so long, we may have forgotten what it is like to play. Perret’s quips are humorous, yet profound; “I like to do nice things for my grandchildren” he says, “ like buy them those toys I’ve always wanted to play with.” And Ogden Nash states, “When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.” And finally, Lois Wyse wraps it up nicely with, “If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I’d have had them first.” King Solomon shares this Proverb with us, 6 An old man’s grandchildren are his crowning glory; Proverbs 17:6 (TLB).

DEAR SAVVY SUE
Ask Savvy Sue
What to do when self-sufficiency declines
W
hat do you do when you begin to worry about the safety of elderly parents, grandparents or other elderly folks in your life? In our family it began with my mother-in-law, an 89 year old fiercely independent New Englander. She had survived the depression, married and raised her children while her spouse served his country in WW II. She had a career and managed a business. She was someone who kept her personal life close to the vest, never talking about her accomplishments and certainly never complaining about difficult times, even as her health declined dramatically. Eventually her safety became a concern for her family. Her vision declined and so did her hearing. Family members met with her to discuss giving up driving which initially she resisted, then eventually agreed that it was no longer safe for her to drive; yet everyone saw how hard it was to let go of her little car that had provided independence. We helped with a Votran application, and committed to be weekend drivers even though we live in another city. But we worried when doctor visits came up mid-week. We took time off from jobs but eventually decided a sitter would be of help, someone who could help take her to doctor visits, grocery store, or make a meal when needed.
Then severe falls began to happen. We moved furniture and secured rugs; walkers and canes were purchased, and we pushed for a Lifeline device. She was a hard sell, feeling she had a phone in the bag on her walker and needed nothing more. I tried to convince her falls often did not occur near a phone and again stressed the Lifeline.
Ask Savvy Sue This is a difficult time in anyone’s life. The best I can suggest is to involve close, caring family members, carefully research available resources, and then act with love.

The Dirty Secret to Growing Vegetables (Part 1)
O
ne of the amazing things about our farm is the fact that so many people seem to be magically drawn to it like a moth is to a light. Almost weekly while we are working in the field people will stop by to admire the field and ask questions. Dozens come for our free tours every Saturday at 10am. Some want to know how they can be a part of it. Some want to ask questions about how to do it themselves. Often I get asked the same question over and over. “What is your secret to growing your vegetables?” Some people will try and guess. “Is it the fertilizer? Is it the type of seeds your use? Is it the water system? The truth is there are lots of little secrets to growing vegetables, especially when you are doing it organically. But if I had to give you the #1 most important tip it would be DIRT! Dirt is the food of plants. The old saying “You are what you eat” Applies to plants as well has well as people. Nothing is more critical in gardening, especially organic gardening, then the health of the soil. If your soil is healthy then your plants will be healthy too. They will be more resistant to pests and diseases requiring less spraying and fertilizers. And in the case of vegetables they will have more nutrition and flavor. I am constantly told by those who eat our vegetables how sweet they taste. I attribute it to not only the fact they are fresh picked but that they come from well fed plants. The dirt is the key!!! So where do you start? This is a complicated subject, but over the next couple months I will try to sift through all the technical information and give the simple dirt on dirt. Whether you are growing in the ground or in containers as we do before you plant a single seed you need to know what you have to start with. There are three classifications of soil: clay, silt and sand. The type of soil is determined by the size of the particles in it, clay having the finest particles and sand
having the largest. The smaller the particles the more it holds water and nutrients. The ideal mixture is 20% clay, 40% silt and 40% sand. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out we don’t really have soil in Florida. In fact it is composed in most areas of 90-98% sand. While this does offer the advantage of excellent drainage, it makes it harder to keep plants watered and nutrients tend to leach out of our soil quickly.
newest method uses copper based products and it is used in many of your organically approved fungus disease products. So once you have set up your beds in or above the ground how do you build up the soil? That is a subject for next month. In the meantime if you have any questions feel free to email them to me at strongroots. agingtree@gmail.com. Until then reagingtree@gmail.com member today is a good day to have a good day. For more information or for any questions you can contact John Joslin at the Common Ground Farm 386-740-9141, 1330 E. Taylor Rd, DeLand, FL 32724 or e-mail any questions to strongroots.agingtree@ gmail.com
At Common Ground Farm we moved to growing in all containers 4 years ago. This offers several advantages. First we use an organic potting mix which allows us to provide a soil environment that would be impossible to duplicate in Florida by just adding compost. Second it eliminates the problem of nematodes, a microscopic worm that feed on the roots of some vegetables stunting the plant and effecting vegetable production. There is no way to rid the Florida sand of these pests. Third, it allows us to use less water and fertilizers and so is more environmentally friendly. You may not want to do containers. In fact I would recommend for a home garden that you build a raised bed with an impermeable barrier under it to keep nematodes out of the soil. If you opt for this method I suggest pressure treated lumber. It will last for years. No need to fear it as they no longer use arsenic in treating the wood. The

FROM OUR KITCHEN TO YOURS
Hometown Recipe
Shrimp and Corn Chowder
By Tekla Thornton
When there is a pot of soup or chowder simmering on the stove in the Fall, it brings fond memories back to me - my mother’s chicken soup when I was a child, eating barley beef soup in my mother-inlaw’s kitchen in upstate New York with snow falling outside. This chowder is perfect for cooler weather. It takes a little preparation time but is ready to eat in an hour or less. Add a platter of sliced fruit and cheese and crusty bread to make this a terrific dinner for family or friends. Enjoy!
