UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

S

Sitting at the bar, I met a couple who are fairly new patrons here at Backroom. I asked them “I’m writing an article about the tavern, can you tell me some things you like about the bar?” Without hesitation, they said, “You feel like family here. The bartenders are terrific, personable, down to earth and relatable. They enjoy talking to customers and that’s a welcome change from other establishments.” With a fully stocked bar, 8 beers on tap, 10 TVs, pool tables, dart boards, juke box, Golden Tee, foosball and more, this place has it all. If you want to just relax over a drink, enjoy great music through the sound system and have great conversation with the friendly bar tenders and customers, you can do just that. But if you’re looking for some activity and friendly competition, bring the gang and shoot some pool or darts. Each day of the week brings a specific theme like Karaoke on Mondays, Line Dancing on Tuesdays and Alternative music nights on Thursdays and Saturdays. Wanna talk Football?? How about the full NFL Package with 10 screens dispersed throughout the

bar and fantastic specials on game day like $8 pitchers and $10 buckets. Just tell them which game you want to watch and order up your favorite beverage and enjoy the excitement. They’ve got four traditional and four electronic dartboards; with steel tip dart leagues starting up in the fall. Another terrific feature is a very popular electronic bowling game that’s accompanied by a large screen for viewing by a group, so you can see the spares and strikes. And for those looking to have private parties, The Backroom Tavern might just be the only bar in town that has a separate room for hosting your event. It’s great for retirement and college graduation parties, as well as any type of work or social function. It’s a great option for those that want to enjoy a cocktail or beer during a party.

Something For Everyone! Live Bands, Pool, Darts & More!

No matter what you are looking for in a neighborhood spot, The Backroom Tavern has it. From friendly bartenders, to a full selection of drinks, Football package, games and event room, you can’t go wrong by stopping by to check it out. Once you do, you’ll most likely become a regular. by Pete Previte

Karaoke on Mondays, Line Dancing on Tuesdays and Alternative music nights on Thursdays and Saturdays. Private Party/Event hosting Game day Specials $8 pitchers & $10 buckets, Light menu.

Letter from T H E P U B L I S H E R ST. LUCIE

Life continues to happen. We all experience struggles, perhaps with work, acquaintances, family, friends, illness, death, etc., etc. I am no stranger to these. Take hope, a new dawn arises. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 says “Always be joyful.” To quote a friend, “We are going to have tough times over the years. So when the bad times come, it doesn’t mean we have to dance around and be happy about it. We just have to remember that these moments won’t last forever.” I have heard many times; if we were to lay down our cross, and we could choose another’s, we would pick up our own. So instead, let us not allow the “bad” things define us. Pastor Mike’s Corner Column speaks about this in this month’s issue. I am thrilled that winter is coming! Welcome back snowbirds. Com’ on down cooler weather!

Hello dear readers, I recently went flipping through my old CDs. Yes, CDs. I came across my Billy Joel CD, slipped into the player, and enjoyed one of my favorite songs, These Are The Times to Remember. I was happy for the reminder. Don’t those words ring truer the older we get? They do for me. One thing that I love is when I stop and recognize the Red Birds, Wood Storks and Spoonbills that visit me in the morning. I’m setting an intention to really notice the simple things like spending time with family, friends, or even getting to know someone new. The days to hold on to are right now. Thanks Billy! If you do not receive or have the time to pick up our magazine please log onto blmmag.com or email us at betterliving@betterliving.com for convenient home delivery.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I am happy to share our feature article on Friends In Pink. Read about their 11th Annual Luncheon, how they help in our community and how you may be able to support them. Fast and approaching is: Election Day, go vote. Veterans Day, thank you to my son, dad, brother, family members and every person who serves and has served! Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving. Gather, invite, serve, and be served. Who will be at your table? Make it a time to remember. See you in December Many blessings,

If you are involved in a community program that is making a positive difference, please contact me @ Valerie@blmmag.com. You just might be the next story.

Cars have evolved over the years, and so have we. From 60’s muscle cars to modern day GDI, turbocharged and even Hybrid vehicles, we have the diagnostic equipment, specialty tools, and knowledge base to repair even the most advanced vehicles. We also offer light duty diesel maintenance, repairs, and diagnostics. No other repair facility offers a higher level or broader list of services, period. Although considered the new owner, Joey has been with the company since it’s conception. He grew up on Long Island, with mechanics in his blood. From the age of 8, he would be at his father’s shop in Ronkonkoma. By his mid - late teens his dad had moved to Florida and opened a shop down here where Joey went to work as well, but it wasn’t long before he returned to New York to open a shop of his own.

Joey & Stephanie are making it their mission to create an automotive repair experience that is above expectations. They take pride in being the most prestigious shop in Tradition. They use only top quality parts, like Motorcraft and AC Delco, and stock the shop with the most technologically advanced diagnostic equipment. The staff is comprised of master ASE Certified technicians, that have the same love for the industry. From the comfortable waiting room, to pick up and drop off service, they strive to make their customers smile. Tradition Auto Repair is open 5 days a week, from 8:30 am - 5:30 pm, with emergency tow services available on weekends. The new website gives customers the convenience of booking appointments online for services like oil changes, a/c check, and even diagnostics.

Craic is not something that you can hold in your hand, nor can you see it on the wall yet, when you walk into a pub and it is there, you can definitely feel it. Craic is the little something extra you do for each of your guests so that they have a great time when they come to visit. It is what will bring people back again and again.

Hundred thousand welcomes

The Pub Experience “Craic” In the small villages that dot Ireland, the pub culture plays an important role in social life; it is the social hub of the community. Half of the magic of Ireland lies in the people, for whom

The Irish are well known for the appreciation of good drink. Beer and ale are almost as important to the Irish diet as food, and pub life is a critical aspect of the Irish social culture. Stout, a strong dark, malt-tasting beer, is Ireland’s most popular drink; and Guinness, a name that is synonymous with stout, is a national treasure.

Hidden Wonders of Root Veggies

Unfortunately as I was checking out all my yummy & healthy root vegetables at the supermarket the cashier had to ask what a few of them were. As I was telling her how amazing they were I realized my readers might want to know too! Yams, beets, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, carrots, yuca, kohlrabi, onions, garlic, celery root (or celeriac), horseradish, daikon, turmeric, jicama, Jerusalem artichokes, radishes, and ginger are all considered roots. Because root vegetables grow underground, they absorb a great amount of nutrients from the soil.

Rutabagas 1. Prevent Premature Aging 2. Improve Digestion 3. Lower Blood Pressure 4. Improve eyesight 5. Aids in weight loss Parsnips 1. Rich in fiber 2. High in Folic Acid 3. Enhance vision 4. Strengthen Bones 5. Prevent Cancer *contains falcarindiol, which has anti cancer abilities

Each one is uniquely special but I will discuss my favorites and a couple yummy recipes. Daikon Radish: 1. Improves Digestion 2. Detoxifies the body 3. Prevents Cancer 4. Boosts immune System 5. Anti-inflammatory 6. Improves Bone Health

* Traditionally Daikon is grated and eaten after every meal. I love it in my soups and salads Turnip: 1. High in minerals 2. Improves Heart Health 3. Aid in Digestion 4. Boost Metabolism 5. Boost Immune System

8

*I absolutely love to just wash, cut and throw all my root veggies in a casserole dish with some rosemary, garlic and coconut oil If you like a broth like casserole add a few cups of veggie broth. Normally I bake for 40 minutes at 375o. by Joanne Augusto Owner of Nutrition World 101 N. US 1, Suite 121 Fort Pierce, FL 34950 772-464-3598

World Sight Day (WSD) is an international day of awareness, held annually on the second Thursday of October to focus attention on the global issue of avoidable blindness and visual impairment. This year World Sight Day falls on 11 October 2018. WSD is co-ordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). WSD became an official IAPB event in the year 2000, and has been marked in many different ways in countries around the world each year since then. World Sight Day is supported by over 150 IAPB member organisations, which include every major eye care NGO in the world, apex professional bodies for ophthalmology and optometry, teaching hospitals and corporations, united in working together to eliminate avoidable blindness and visual impairment.

One of my favorite Extensions for Google Chrome is Adblock, it blocks web page advertisements by blocking the item from loading on the web page. is leads to faster overall page loading times, as there is less information to fetch and load. ere is also parental cont plugins available to monitor control and control what your kid/s do on the computer. e best place to learn more about these incredibly handy little programs is by searching the Internet.

BETTER LIVING & MARKETPLACE MAGAZINE • BLMMAG.COM


The strength and growth of Friends In Pink hinges on our ability to meet the Breast Cancer needs of local friends, neighbors, co-workers and people that provide personal services like hair-dressers or landscapers, for instance. Our purpose is to extend their lives by paying medical bills for their Breast Cancer care. As our 11th Annual Friendship Luncheon approaches, we reflect on how to continue to provide assistance. We are thankful for our volunteers, donors, healthcare providers, caregivers and survivors. Every person who makes this possible by providing lifesaving funds used to continue our mission is heroes, plain and simple. Friends In Pink is humbly grateful and aware the demand for Friends In Pink assistance always increases, every year. “Positively Pink”, the theme for this year’s luncheon, represents the

positive actions each of us make to support those living with Breast Cancer. This event is an expression of thanking our local supporters who have helped us. We hope it opens the door to new friends that will contribute to our continued growth in the community where we all work and live. Our luncheon, this year, will be held at the Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie on Saturday, October 20, 2018 starting at 11:30am. Our sponsors are: Dr. John B.

Pastor Mike’s It's Called Life Corner View 61-80 then game over.

By the time you knew what to call it; you were neck deep in it. It’s called life. And this one is yours. No one else has your version. You’ll never bump into yourself on the sidewalk. You’ll never meet anyone who has your exact blend of lineage, loves, and longings. Your life will never be lived by anyone else. Life is racing by, and if we aren’t careful, you and I will look up. And our shot at it will have passed us by.

But if you’re anything like me, it’s not enough for you to do well. You want to do good. You want your life to matter. You want to live in such a way that the world will be glad you did. I once compared life to a football game. Suppose life had the same time pattern as a football game. Suppose that there were four quarters in the “Game of Life”. And for conversational purposes let us say that the “Game of Life” lasted 80 years. You started the game at birth and the game ended 80 years later. Each quarter would consist of 20 years. First quarter = Birth to 20. Second quarter=21 to 40. Third quarter=41to 60. And fourth quarter

The question is what quarter are you in, and what’s the score? Are you down by a touchdown or more? Are you ahead or behind and most importantly what quarter are you in? Life can pass us by so fast and before you know it you’re at the two-minute warning. The good news is that no matter where you’re at, no matter what quarter you’re in, and no matter what the score, there is a way to guarantee a win. We have an awesome owner and his name is God, and we have a huge fan base in heaven rooting us onto victory. If we stay to the playbook (The Bible) and follow the coach’s game plan, we can’t lose. There is a huge Super bowl party waiting for us in heaven. God made us for an eternal life with Him. What am I doing in this life that will enhance my eternal life? ...Just a thought.

My prayer is that all of us would look at our lives as an opportunity to help someone else and to be less self-centered and more compassionate, to love others the way Jesus loved me. As we approach the Holiday Season I pray that we catch the spirit of love and be grateful for this thing called “LIFE”.

God Bless, Pastor Mike, Morningside Church, Recovery Pastor

www.foodandwine.com/recipes/ pumpkin-butter In the fall, when squash and pumpkins are in their prime, make this addictive pumpkin butter your go-to add-in. This silky preserve toes the line between sweet and savory: Try it on toast with cream cheese, in whipped cream, or melted into a mixture of sage and brown butter for an autumnal pasta sauce. Kelsey Youngman

Pumpkin Butter Makes 2 1/2 cups

• 1 (3-pound) sugar pumpkin, stemmed, halved lengthwise, and seeded • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 1/4 cup apple cider • 1/3 cup light brown sugar • 3 tablespoons honey • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt • 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh nutmeg • Pinch of ground cloves

BETTER LIVING & MARKETPLACE MAGAZINE • BLMMAG.COM


Step 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush cut sides of pumpkin halves with oil. Arrange pumpkin halves, cut side down, on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven until very tender when pierced with a fork, about 50 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Step 2 Scoop flesh from cooled pumpkin; transfer to bowl of a food processor. Discard pumpkin shell. Add apple cider; process until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Add brown sugar, honey, vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and cloves; process until smooth, about 20 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.

I’ve been doing some thinking lately about how powerful the testimony of

God’s provision, through the goodness of our listeners. That has kept afloat our radio ministry here at Christian FM. It’s staggering to consider the fact that we are a faith-based ministry that has been sustained through nearly three decades of broadcasting (since 1990), through good times and bad times despite the seeming economic impossibility of meeting the rising costs of operating such an enterprise.

The truth is, most Christian radio stations struggle to keep broadcasting because of how rapidly costs have risen in the industry. Due to competition from other stations in the market where they broadcast and economic pressures many rely on accepting donations from national ministries to air their talk programs or preaching, and must constantly ask their listeners to send in donations. If they can’t

30

pay their bills they will be forced to give up their license, as so many have done, and perhaps lose it to a secular broadcasting company.

with a How Does Working very small but staff, a Non-Profit ambitious Christian FM has experienced Radio God’s grace to reaching Ministry continue the Treasure and Coast Survive in Space with the best of 2018 Contemporar y Christian artists. The songs we play are carefully selected so that each one may have an impact on someone who tunes in at any given time to cause them to give thanks and praise our Lord. I believe that by being faithful in serving the greatest number of residents we are fulfilling The Great Commission, that is, “Go into the world and preach the good news of Jesus Christ!” So what is it that causes someone to sacrificially give financial help to a radio

station like Christian FM? Well, I’ve asked a number of listeners that question over the years and the answers are all pretty similar. It doesn’t make a difference whether the listener is a male or female, most say, the thing that compels them to be a supporter is because of our programming, our air-personalities and our steady focus on how Jesus is central to our faith! They desire to take ownership of the message and a heart to share it is the reason to give. We make decisions every day, big decisions and small ones. Most stressful is how to be good stewards of the money God gives us. We are moved to give to a cause greater than ourselves because our hearts long to be in the center of God’s will. Those who act out of this conviction say it creates a bond with their favorite station that wouldn’t exist if they weren’t helping financially. To those heroes of the faith I say, thank you for being there for us all these years! It’s because of you that anyone can tune in 91.9 and 96.3 and listen to WSCF, Christian FM.
