How to temper chocolate for a Valentine’s treaT What would Valentine’s Day be without chocolate? Candy and chocolate are often exchanged come Valentine’s Day. Though store-bought confections might be popular, such gifts can easily be made at home as well.

Chocolate satisfies a sweet tooth, and some researchers believe chocolate is an aphrodisiac.

In the 1980s, doctors at New York State Psychiatric Institute explored the possibility that chocolate could be an aphrodisiac. When someone is in love, his or her brain produces a chemical called phenylethylamine, or PEA, which acts a lot like an amphetamine, triggering the hormones norepinephrine and dopamine to create feelings of euphoria.

Considering chocolate naturally contains PEA, there is reason to believe that chocolate could also trigger feelings of happiness and love. However, other chemicals might be behind these feelings of euphoria.

Whether this is the case or not, chocolate will long remain a romantic gift, especially on Valentine’s Day. Dipped pastries, lollipops and chocolate-covered berries are savory treats that can be whipped up rather easily in the average kitchen. Simply melting chocolate and pouring it over dessert is one way to go, but to create the shiny, firm finish that professionals achieve requires tempering chocolate.

over a double-boiler, which is essentially a bowl with the chocolate resting over a pot of gently boiling water. Using the microwave is another way to melt the chocolate. Melt small pieces of chocolate at 10- to 15-second intervals until it is melted, stirring after each time. Dark chocolate needs to reach a temperature of between 114 F and 120 F. Milk and white chocolate need to reach a temperature between

If not, add more chocolate and repeat the process again until it is tempered correctly.

chocolate that is chopped into small pieces so it will melt more easily. Chocolate makers sell small pieces of chocolate known as pistoles, callets or wafers.

Make sure that no droplets of water come in contact with the chocolate; otherwise it might seize up and not temper properly.

Also, start with a good-quality

The act of tempering chocolate causes the cocoa butter to break down and suspend evenly in the chocolate. This also alleviates the white “bloom” that appears on chocolate when it’s exposed to temperature changes. Properly tempered chocolate will be smooth and shiny.

It is possible to temper chocolate at home with a few tools. You will need a food thermometer to measure the temperature. Some people prefer to melt chocolate

Valentine’s Day is Thursday, February 14

Next the chocolate needs to be cooled. You can do so by adding more pieces of chocolate and stirring to incorporate them.

This is called “seeding.” Continue stirring and measure the working temperature. Dark chocolate needs to lower to a temperature of between 90 F and 86 F. Milk and white chocolate need to reach a temperature between 85 F and 81 F. After it has cooled, bring the temperature back up to around 86 degrees and stir again. Test some of the chocolate with a small piece of parchment

Once the chocolate is tempered, be sure to keep it at a consistent temperature of around 100 F to 90 F until you are done working with it.

Chocolate is savory, decadent and a prized gift for Valentine’s Day. Properly tempered chocolate is something anyone can do at home.

Valentine’s customs then and now Valentine’s Day is a holiday during February that commemorates love and romance and also the patron Saint Valentine. The history of St. Valentine is shrouded somewhat in mystery, and there are beliefs that many different people went by the name St. Valentine.

One such individual was a holy priest who served in Rome, Italy.

Some historians surmise that he was jailed for defiance during the

reign of Claudius II, sentenced to death, and became a religious martyr. Pope Gelasius marked February14 as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom in 496 AD. Today, the Catholic church recognizes at least three different martyred saints named Valentine or Valentius.

So how did St. Valentine’s Day transform from a religious holiday into one far more secular? During the third century in Rome, Claudius II decided that single men served better as soldiers if they were single and had no attachments at home in the way of a wife and family. Thusly, he outlawed marriage. St. Valentine didn’t agree with the views and reportedly performed marriages for young lovers in secret. It is this which may have propelled Valentine’s Day to be more about love than religious obligation.

Another legend says that Valentine himself authored the first Valentine card. It has been rumored he fell in love with a woman -- the jailer’s daughter -- while in prison and sent her a letter. He signed it, “from your Valentine.”

No matter the origins of the holiday, today St. Valentine’s Day has become a day where love is celebrated. Lovers send each other cards and tokens of their affections. It is customary to go out for dinner and send flowers.

Chocolates and roses seem to go hand-in-hand with Valentine’s Day events.

Although certain customs have become commonplace, some customs of Valentine’s Day have fallen by the wayside.

One such custom is the “drawing of names” that took place in the 18th century. Names of men and women (equal numbers of each) were placed into two different containers. A lottery of sorts took place where one man’s name was drawn and matched with a woman’s name.

The people called were called “Valentines,” and the pairing was considered a good omen of these couples marrying later on.

Another lost custom was of a man wearing a paper heart with the person he loved’s name written on it. The heart was pinned to his sleeve, which gave way to the expression, “wearing one’s heart on one’s sleeve.” A woman could do the same type of thing by wearing a charm known as a love-badge near her heart.

Where now we send out massproduced Valentine’s Day cards, original Valentine’s were handmade and personalized letters.

Within them individuals could write their exact sentiments to a loved one.

On February 14th, people nipped by the love bug partake in many customs to show their love.

How will you show that special someone you care this year?

Great movies for Valentine’s Day Couples celebrate Valentine’s Day in a variety of ways. Some may jet off to a romantic locale while others might enjoy a night out on the town at a nearby restaurant. Some couples feel it’s more romantic to stay in for Valentine’s Day, preferring some quality time together as they enjoy a good meal and a favorite film in the comforts of home.

Those who want a romantic movie to set the mood might want to consider the following options.

Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and James Stewart, the movie focuses on the complications that arise as a socialite prepares to marry. Cary Grant plays the exhusband of Hepburn, who must deal with the simultaneous arrival of both Grant and Stewart, a journalist who arrives to get the scoop on her pending nuptials.

Stewart earned an Oscar for his performance in the film, which is also credited for helping to revive Hepburn’s career after a series of box office flops.

* “Somewhere in Time” (1980): Starring Christopher Reeve, this drama surrounds a Chicago playwright who meets an old woman on the opening night of one of his plays.

The woman presses a gold pocket watch into his hand before begging the young playwright to return to her. Years later, the playwright is staying at a hotel and becomes taken with a young woman in a photograph, only to learn that the young woman is the same mysterious older woman who visited on opening night all those years ago.

* “Casablanca” (1942): Perhaps no film is more synonymous with romance than this classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as former lovers who reconnect one night in a pressurepacked African encounter during World War II. The two ex-lovers still harbor feelings for one another, though Bergman’s Ilsa has moved on and married a resistance leader who needs the help of Bogart’s Rick to escape Nazi forces hot on his trail. The film features many classic moments.

* “West Side Story” (1961): One of Hollywood’s many tales of forbidden love, this classic won Best Picture after being adapted for the big screen. The score alone is enough for film afficionados, but those who also want a story won’t be disappointed by this musical tale of two youngsters who fall in love despite being from rival New York City gangs.

* “The Princess Bride” (1987): Couples who prefer a love story as told through a fairy tale might want to consider this Rob Reiner-directed film starring Cary Elwes as a farm boy who falls in love with Buttercup, the beautiful daughter of his employer. An ensemble cast that memorably includes Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin and pro wrestler Andre the Giant contributes to this hilarious classic that follows the farm boy’s heroic efforts to be with the woman he loves.

* “The Philadelphia Story” (1940): Featuring screen legends

Explore alternative flowers for Valentine’s Day Behind only Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day is the second most popular day to give flowers to a loved one. Thousands upon thousands of roses are imported from areas of South America in time for Valentine’s Day, and the rose has become the unofficial flower of this day.

Those who have given a bouquet of roses before understand that roses can be quite expensive, and that price only rises on holidays like Valentine’s Day. Instead of feeling pressured into giving a dozen longstemmed roses, gift-givers can explore other beautiful flower options available.

which may work for people who are especially sensitive to scented blooms. * Chrysanthemums: Also known as mums, chrysanthemums are versatile flowers that symbolize optimism, joy, fidelity and love.

Although mums are traditionally yellow, they can also be white, red and other hybrid hues. * Peonies: Peonies are herbaceous perennial plants that produce large, often fragrant flowers ranging in color from red to white.

Peonies are highly prized by Eastern cultures, and in China they are known as the “flower of riches and honor.”

Red roses may signify love, but just about any other crimsonhued flower can also represent the strong emotions felt for a sweetheart -- and at a much more affordable cost. When visiting the florist to have a bouquet or arrangement of flowers assembled for Valentine’s Day, consider mixing and matching some other flowers for an arrangement with flair and originality.

* Carnations: Carnations have the scientific name of Dianthus, which means “flowers of God.” Carnations are particularly coveted because they can last long after being cut, which makes them popular in floral arrangements. Dark red carnations are said to convey affection and deep love. Because of their popularity, carnations are often easily affordable.

* Dahlias: Named after Anders Dahl, a Swedish botanist, these flowers are native to Mexico but actually prefer cooler growing conditions. Dahlias come in all sizes, from small blooms of a few inches to much larger blossoms that may be a foot in width. They are related to the sunflower, daisy and chrysanthemum. The Dahlia usually is not a scented flower,

* Columbine: Columbine is native to North America, Asia and Europe. It has lacy-looking leaves and bell-shaped flowers. While columbines are traditionally used as garden plants to attract hummingbirds, a few blooms added to a floral arrangement can brighten up the design. * Poppies: Low-maintenance

and usually easy to grow, poppies’ vivid red color and large blooms add to their aesthetic appeal. * Cardinals: Cardinals are long, tubular flowers that grow wild throughout North America. Tall and dramatic, these red flowers

can add drama to any floral arrangement.

The rose may be traditional for Valentine’s Day, but gifting with a variety of red-hued flowers may add visual appeal and affordability to arrangements.

However, there are many other events that took place on this day throughout history that may make the fourteenth of February memorable for other reasons.

Here is a number of events that occurred around the world on February 14 in various years.

1630: A Dutch fleet of 69 ships reaches Pernambucu, Brazil.

* Gift card: You may be thinking a gift card doesn’t sound that thoughtful.

However, when paired with a listing of gift items, it’s easy to illustrate the thought that went into the gift. It may make sense to simply purchase one of those interesting items, but this way you’re giving the recipient the choice of what he or she really wants to select.

Taking the time to have something monogrammed or engraved imparts thoughtfulness into the gift. * Pet accessories: People view their pets as members of the family. Especially during the dating stage, providing an adorable gift for his or her pet may be seen as a heartfelt gesture. Be sure to pick up a little something for the pet parent as well, though. * Hobby gifts: Recognizing the interests of a loved one is a clear sign that you’re in tune with what he or she enjoys to do. If you have an avid reader on your hands, a new e-reader or some e-books may be ideal. Sports fans could appreciate tickets to the next home game of their favorite team. Someone who dabbles in culinary creations may delight over a gift basket full of top-ofthe-line cooking utensils. * A spending spree: Take your Valentine to his or her favorite store and encourage him or her to pick out a few favorite items.

This way you can spend time together and see the joy on your Valentine’s face when he or she is choosing treasured items.

February is the time to rekindle romance with your home Valentine month is the time of year when we seek appropriate ways of expressing our love for those closest to us. Why not rekindle the romance with your home at the same time? Flowers, candy or jewelry might not get you very far, but asking these three questions is going to show you care: 1. How is your home feeling?

It’s often hard to get fresh air into our homes during the winter, meaning pollutants can get trapped inside. If your home has poor indoor air quality you can help it feel better. * Limit the use of products containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in common household products, such as cleansers and paint. * Consider adding a mechanical ventilation system to provide a controlled source of fresh air to your home. It can help manage indoor pollutants and excess indoor moisture.

2. Is your home warm and comfortable?

Conventional fiberglass insulation is like a wool sweater on a winter day. It might look warm and fuzzy, but it won’t stop cold air from passing through.

Rental information and reservations call 315-737-7328 ext. 6548

www.mohawkltd.com/lmr

* Conduct an energy audit of your home to spot key sources of air leakage, especially around windows and doors and through the attic. * Consider installing spray foam insulation (like popular Icynene) in your home. It can create an air barrier and help control air leakage, energy loss and airborne pollutants.

3. Is your home nice and dry?

Indoor moisture can accumulate in the winter months, leading to a musty smell, condensation on windows and even to mold. * Make sure bathroom fans and kitchen hoods are hooked up and working. * Use proper ventilation to the outdoors when showering or cooking. * Limit the use of humidifiers. Set up a dehumidifier in damp areas inside the home, like the basement.

Affordable getaway ideas for Valentine’s Day February, when Valentine’s Day serves as the official day of love and affection, is a great to embark on a romantic vacation, especially if that getaway is to a warmer locale that can help men and women momentarily forget about the snowstorms and colder temperatures back home. * Consider cruising. There are cruises that depart from various ports all year long. All it takes is a call to a cruise line or logging on to their Web sites to check the scheduling. For those unopposed to flying to a different port, you may be able to broaden your options with regard to cruise destinations and departing dates.

Cruises are advantageous because they are all-inclusive, selfcontained vacations. Couples who don’t want the hassle of packing and unpacking several times and want their meals and entertainment planned out ahead of time might find cruising is their trip. * Look into winery packages.

Wineries may be doing their planting and harvesting in the warmer weather, but come the winter they may be facing a slow-down in foot traffic and may be eager to attract business.

Sampling different vintages and spending time in an often adultsonly environment can be an ideal way to spend a Valentine’s Day weekend. Make it an overnight trip and stay nearby in a hotel.

Some wineries may offer a restaurant on premises or work with a local establishment to provide package deals. * Visit your closest city. Many people living in the suburbs seldom make trips into downtown unless they are regular commuters for work. Even those who spend their weekdays in an urban area may never have experienced all of the little gems that attract tourists. For Valentine’s Day, you may want to see your urban center through the eyes of a visitor,

taking advantage of the museums, cultural centers and buildings that attract tourists throughout the year. Chances are the trip will not be costly, and you’ll be close to home. * Take in live music. There’s something romantic about listening to music together. Investigate upcoming concerts in your area.

Some coffee shops and bars host open-mic nights when budding artists can be heard. Check to see if any smaller venues are hosting intimate, acoustic concerts by popular bands. It can be a memorable night and one that doesn’t break the bank.

Many people who own vacation homes list them for rent when they are unoccupied.

Helpful ideas to make a long-distance relationship work Some relationships are easier than others. Long-distance relationships tend to require a little more effort, typically demanding strong levels of trust and communication.

Many people avoid long-distance relationships because they take much more effort than a more traditional partnership. However, sometimes people find themselves in a situation where their partner is forced to relocate, be it for school, a military deployment or a temporary work transfer. Rather than give up on the partnership, many couples try to make their now long-distance relationship work. The following are a handful of ways couples can do just that.

* Set goals. Establish a plan with your partner that puts you both on the same page. If you haven’t already done so, talk about how you see this relationship continuing and what you have in

Figure out how you want to steer this long-distance relationship. Address issues like how will you split the traveling and lodging during visits and how often will you get together. * Maintain contact.

Because you simply cannot pop in for a visit on a whim, put the bevy of technological tools at your disposal to good use. Make every attempt to talk each day or even just send a brief text message that you’re thinking about your significant other.

mind for the future. If you both are striving for the same goals, the distance between you may strengthen your commitment to each other. * Establish rules and guidelines.

* Send surprise care packages. Maybe he enjoys cookies from that bakery down the road. Perhaps she is missing the java you used to get together at the local coffee shop.

Ship a care package with favorite goodies and pack it with an item that is your own and carries your signature scent. * Set up a half-way meeting point. Perhaps you cannot always get all the way to each other’s home bases. Plan a vacation that is midway between where you both reside so it’s neutral and undiscovered territory in which you can make special memories together. * Focus on the positive. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Think about the positive things in your relationship rather than what may bring you down. Keep in mind that time will be limited when you visit each other, which means you may be less likely to fight and more likely to enjoy all the moments spent together fully. Long-distance relationships can still be romantic.

The distance may create an air of mystery. If you enjoy your private time and space, a long-distance relationship enables you to spend time with your partner and then go back to your normal schedule.

Although long-distance relationships are challenging, many people do make them work until they can be reunited once again.

Valentine’s Day facts and superstitions Every February 14th people around the world exchange gifts, chocolates and romantic greetings for a day set aside for lovers.

Many traditions are followed, all in the name of St. Valentine. Still, people may not understand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine’s Day and St. Valentine himself is shrouded in mystery, and much of what’s widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday. * Valentine’s Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which

was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts.

A bluebird indicates a happy man, while a sparrow indicates a poor man. * In Medieval times, girls consumed unusual foods on Valentine’s Day in the belief it would make them dream of their future husbands.

How to make healthy seafood choices Seafood has long been seen as a healthy addition to a person’s diet. Easily digestible and rich in high-quality protein that provides a mix of essential amino acids, seafood can play an integral role in a healthy diet.

As healthy as seafood can be, the Natural Resources Defense Council notes that eating fish is not always healthy for individuals or the environment.

Contaminated fish can be unhealthy, and seafood that has been overfished can result in long-term issues for oceans and marine life. Because there are extenuating circumstances with regard to consuming seafood, the NRDC offers the following information to seafood-loving consumers so they can be certain they’re making the healthiest and most eco-friendly choices when buying seafood. * Choose smaller fish. Smaller marine animals, including squid, oysters, mackerel, mussels and even sardines, are more plentiful.

In addition, smaller fish contain less mercury, which is more beneficial to your health. * It’s important to know where fish are coming from. The health of a species may depend on where the species is from. Fish caught in sustainable ways are typically healthy for both consumers and the environment. The NRDC recommends consumers use the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch guide (www.

16 PULSE pulsepointpress.com FEBRUARY 2013

montereybayaquarium.org) to learn about the various regions and which provide the most sustainable choices. * It’s important to know how your fish was caught. In addition to where a fish is from, how it was caught should also be an important consideration for consumers.

Hook-andline fishing and fish caught with pots and traps are considered the most eco-friendly methods of fishing.

Longline fishing, which requires the use of long fishing lines with thousands of hooks that can kill both sea turtles and birds, can be very harmful to marine life. In addition, the NRDC considers bottom trawlers, which are nets that can cut the ocean floor and kill various types of marine life, including sea urchins, coral dolphins and whales, especially harmful to the environment and marine life. * Choose wild fish. The NRDC notes the concerns about the environmental impact of fish farming, advising consumers to purchase wild-caught fish instead. * Eat local. Local varieties of fish that haven’t been depleted in local waters are more eco-friendly than fish from another part of the country or world. That’s because fresh fish must be transported through the air, which requires substantial amounts of energy.

More information about choosing seafood that is healthy for consumers as well as the environment is available at www.nrdc.org.

Stock your pantry with these healthy staples * Rice: Starchy rice is a versatile food that can accompany many meals. Whether served as a side dish or on its own or with some broth in a soup, rice can help satisfy hunger and keep the stomach feeling full.

Brown rice is a healthier option than processed white rice. Rice is also gentle on the stomach for people who need to consume bland diets due to any gastrointestinal ailments.

Another advantage to rice is that it stores well and will not go bad, so you can stock up.

* Low-fat yogurt: Yogurt can be enjoyed as a snack any time of the day.

Rich in calcium and healthy probiotics, yogurt can even replace certain ingredients in recipes, including creams and sour cream. As a dessert, yogurt is a better option than more fattening puddings or ice cream.

Thicker varieties of yogurt can help you feel fuller, longer. * Unsalted nuts: An excellent protein-rich snack, nuts can be the go-to food when you need a nutritional pick-me-up. Although they tend to be high in fat, much of the fat content is unsaturated fat that is

rich in omega acids necessary for cardiovascular and neurological health.

Nuts can be sprinkled on salads or served with cheeses to make meals more satisfying. * Canned or dried fruits: Fruits that are packed in natural fruit juices are just as healthy as fresh produce.

However, they can be stored for longer periods of time without spoiling.

Many people do not consume the recommended servings of fruit, and having canned or individually packaged fruit cups available makes it easy to include fruit in your diet. Fruits are full of required vitamins and are a natural fiber source to keep digestion in check. Dried fruits can be added to nuts to make a healthy trail mix. Raisins, for example, are a great source of iron, which helps the blood transport oxygen. * Beans and legumes: These foods are high in protein as well as fiber, generally in a low-calorie package.

Beans and legumes can replace meats as a protein source in many meals when the goal is to reduce caloric and fat intake. Beans can be used to thicken sauces or make

foods more hearty, helping to stretch them further. * Vegetables: Whether fresh or frozen, vegetables are a must-have staple. Vegetables are ripe with vitamins and minerals, and pack a lot of punch with very low calories and fat.

People need not worry about filling up on vegetables, and they’re one of the snacks that can be eaten in abundance without worry of racking up a lot of calories. Aim to have half of your plate filled with vegetables at every meal, which will keep you full. * Lean protein sources: Fish, poultry and lean cuts of meat are often the

basis for meals. They can be kept and enjoyed in moderation. Rich cuts of pork and beef may be flavorful but are high in saturated fats. * Lemons or lemon juice: Rather than seasoning foods with salt and butter, lemon juice is a tasty flavoring that lends itself well to many types of foods. Lemons and limes contain limonene, furocoumarins and vitamin C, all of which help reduce your risk of cancer.

There are many healthy and versatile foods that can be stored in the pantry without spoiling. They make for quick snacks and help keep you feeling fuller, longer.

To begin, you will first need to determine the composting method that will work for you.

Compost, a living organism of sorts, comprised of beneficial bacteria, insect life and nutrients for plants, is on the other side of the plant food spectrum.

compost

from page 22

Aerobic bacteria need oxygen and a certain amount of moisture to survive. Therefore, it is important to include materials in the compost that will achieve these conditions. Composters frequently refer to “greens” and “browns” in a compost mix.

Greens are fresh leaves and grass clippings and kitchen scraps. These materials will have an abundance of moisture as well as nitrogen.

Browns are older, dried out plant material and wood. The browns help create air cushions in the compost that facilitate aeration and also contain carbon. Without aeration, the compost will compact down too quickly, which could slow down the decomposition process. This may result in a foul odor.

Avoid the use of bones, meat or cheese in a compost bin. This will only attract scavengers and may rot faster than it can be decomposed by the bacteria. Also, avoid pet waste or any lawn trimmings that have been treated with pesticides.

Turning the compost will help keep it aerated and will also distribute the bacteria. This can help speed along the composting process. Avoid adding weeds to juvenile compost because it may not be hot enough to kill the seeds and then you’ll be stuck with weeds in the compost -- and wherever you place that compost.

Moisture is essential to the compost. Each time you add new material to the compost bin, dampen it. It should be moist but not dripping. Adding a balance between greens and browns should help regulate the moisture level as well. Remember, during warmer months, the compost may dry out more, so you will need to be on top of the moisture levels.

The composting process works best at temperatures between 120 and 150 F. The compost will generate its own heat as matter is broken down. However, the heat of warm months can speed up the process. Novice composters may want to begin their composting in the summer as a first attempt.

24 PULSE pulsepointpress.com FEBRUARY 2013

Hot composting piles can be turned into soil fertilizer in as little as 8 to 10 weeks. Therefore, plan your composting start date accordingly. Soon after you may have a naturally sustainable garden that produces material enough to continually feed your existing compost pile.

together: * Give your pet the best. Look for a pet food that provides the highest quality, healthiest, most flavorful and least-processed ingredients available. * Look for the little extras. A high quality pet food will provide important extras such as preand probiotics, digestive enzymes and antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables.

Premium pet food companies like Petcurean list their ingredients and provide an online guide about what is found in their food at petcurean.com. * Appreciate your pet’s mealtime. Life is busy, so why not make your pet’s mealtime an opportunity to enjoy, relax and spend some time together? Pets seem to have it all figured out and can certainly teach us a thing or two about living in the moment. And, did you know that pet ownership can also help decrease our blood pressure and cholesterol levels?

Vitamins and cancer prevention People take daily vitamin supplements for a variety of reasons.

Many believe that vitamins will serve as an insurance policy of sorts should they not be consuming the necessary vitamins and minerals through their diets.

Others believe that vitamin supplements will ease certain ailments or help prevent diseases, such as cancer. Beliefs such as these have helped the dietary supplements business become a billion-dollar industry.

There have been many clinical studies conducted to look into the correlation between vitamin supplements and the prevention of certain types of cancer. Understanding the results can be confusing. There is no magic formula for consuming a broad-spectrum vitamin supplement to serve as a blanket remedy for preventing cancer. However, there have been some studies that show certain vitamins may help lower risk for specific cancers. For example, a study published in 2010 found

women who had high levels of vitamin A and C in their bodies, whether from diet or supplement use, had fewer cases of cervical cancer compared to women with lower levels of these vitamins.

Vitamin B6 has been known to have various benefits, including reducing a person’s risk of developing lung, breast and colon cancer. Those with high blood levels of B6 have a lower risk, but there is no proof that taking B6 supplements will have the same benefits. Some studies indicate that vitamin E supplements may reducemen’s risk of developing prostate cancer. Studies in the 1970s suggested that high doses of vitamin C could be an alternative cancer treatment, says The Mayo Clinic. These findings were debunked when it was discovered the research methods used to reach the conclusions were flawed. Subsequent studies did not corroborate the 1970s results. However, more attention is now being paid to adminiscontinued on page 32

All You Need Is Love

Susan Romeo, MS, RN CNY Healing Touch Holistic Health & Wellness

February is heart month: heart health, heart-shaped boxes of candy and red valentines. It is the month when, ever so slowly, we begin to see forward-thinking birds roost on branches in pairs.

It is the last month of winter and as we know, winter is all about turning inward, honoring one’s connection to home, to soul and to spirit.

8200 Seneca Tpk Clinton, NY 13323 315- 725- 0403 susan@cnyhealingtouch.com www.cnyhealingtouch.com Integrated Health Therapies Supporting You In Your Regular Medical Care

It is appropriate then that February is heart month; certainly in awareness of one’s physical heart and what it takes to keep it healthy, but also in observance of one’s emotional and spiritual heart. These observances are as much a part of heart health as diet and exercise. Home is indeed where the heart is, and the heart, dear reader, is all about love.

Nothing you can know that isn’t known.

Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.

Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.

It’s easy…..

All you need is love.

These words are easy to remember. They represent an essential truth pared down to a musical slogan, and slogans work.

Lennon was quoted as loving slogans and referred to himself as, “A revolutionary artist whose art is dedicated to change.” Fascinating really, because the vast majority of us resist change and yet the ability to roll with stress and change is virtually the definition of vitality and resilience.

In times of stress, and like the

holidays, this month of hearts is stressful for many, perhaps a simple slogan will help keep us focused on our own hearts, to renew any sense of depletion, to restore physiologic and energetic coherence within our bodies and to begin to restructure our individual response to everyday and unexpected stress. All you need is love.

The golden rule of loving our neighbor as we love ourselves implies that we do just that—love ourselves! If you find yourself depleted and running on empty, or falling into a knee jerk stress reaction, here are some other tools that might help. They come from the Institute of HeartMath and represent simple yet powerful tools of stress management.

The first tool is called Neutral.

Finding the state of neutral eliminates and reverses the energy drain of stress. It modulates the nervous system and halts the negative impact of stress. Essentially, to find neutral we take a time out and simply breathe, purposefully, slowly and deeply.

The next tool is called Quick Coherence. It builds on Neutral and adds the power of positive emotion. Here are the three skills to try out: Heart Focus, Heart Breathing and Heart Feeling.

Focus on the heart; even place your hand over it. Breathe as if you were breathing into and out of your heart area. Finally, recall and re-experience a positive and/ or fun time. Not just imagine it, but feel it, try to relive it. Build a library of positive feelings to draw from in your heart practice.

Please note this is not a lengthy guided meditation. Do all three of these skills in about a clock minute. Practice when you don’t need them so it is easier when

you do.

To quote another poet rocker, Steven Stills, “And if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.” That would be you, yourself. All you need is love.

One of the most common questions that I get in my practice as I explain Chiropractic is: “How does moving a bone in the spine affect my organs?” Reflecting back over the last 12 years of clinical practice, one particular case comes to mind.

also educated her on how the nervous system actually controlled her heart and how getting adjusted by a Chiropractor could actually make her whole body function better. Little by little her back pain went away. That wasn’t even the best part.

The patient was a 33 year old woman that had a pacemaker/defibrillator in place because of an irregular heartbeat. This device actually recorded the number of abnormal “events” that the heart had over the course of a month.

She had informed me that she averaged 15-20 of these cardiovascular abnormal “events” over a typical month. Each month, the device was read by her cardiologist. She came to me with pain between her shoulder blades and occasionally down her arms. I diagnosed a displaced vertebrae in the area as a possible culprit for this pain. As I adjusted her every week to rid the spine of this subluxated vertebrae, I

When she went back to her cardiologist he was flabbergasted.

A girl whose pacemaker usually recorded 15-20 adverse events per month was now averaging 2-3 per month since she started Chiropractic care. Amazing? Yes. Surprised? No. I wasn’t because I understand how the body works.

The brain and nervous system control every cell, tissue and organ in the body. If you keep your nervous system healthy and free from interference, your heart works more efficiently.

Trout Power 2013 along the West Canada Creek, June 8-9, 2013 Trout Power ™ had its beginnings as an idea to generate awareness around The West Canada Creek, ensuring its’ long-term vitality for fishing and outdoor enthusiasts. Now Trout Power is a year round initiative that includes a full weekend celebration June 8th9th, 2013.

The Event weekend includes a Trout Tournament, Creel Study, and family activities surrounding the Creek. Tournament teams travel from as far away as Michigan, Virginia, Oregon, Delaware, Ohio, as Trout Power is attracting attention across the country.

Area businesses, communities, and individuals are realizing the potential as well. “Trout Power is all about working together to ensure the vitality of the West Canada Creek. The goal’s to spur people to embrace this amazing

resource for their own prosperity and economic impact throughout the communities that line its’ banks” said co-founder, JP Ross.

In cooperation with the NYS DEC, Pulse Magazine, and area business chambers & tourism councils, Trout Power succeeds not only when wild trout are thriving in the West Canada, but when small and large businesses and individuals utilize the momentum Trout Power creates, to ignite and sustain responsible tourism to our area. Education and awareness about this amazing resource, coupled with a “leave the river better than you found it” message, has the power to put The West Canada Creek on a world stage for tourism. The Yellowstone, Colorado, Delaware, and Hudson Rivers, are all great examples of tourism and responsible stewardship working hand in hand where everyone,

In addition to the tournament and study, the weekend’s events include a Friday evening kickoff party, a 5K run, a Kids’ Rubber Ducky race, a Town of Russia Chicken BBQ, and a 28 Mile Yard Sale on Route 28 all weekend.

This year there’s even discussion about a bike race as well. “We want businesses to use Trout Power as a great way to generate business and new customers. Trout Power is a year round effort that we come together

publicly to celebrate the first weekend in June. To make the most of the Event itself, business owners can either hop on board and sponsor or host an event we’re already doing that weekend… or get creative and figure out ways to make Trout Power their own June 8th and 9th,” says Ross.

All Event details and upcoming information can be found online. www.TroutPower.com.

Helping a community come together to support themselves and the West Canada Creek.

Trout Power is an initiative to protect and preserve the West Canada Creek.

Protect

Conservation through education and action in cooperation with NYS DEC Region 6, Trout Power’s JP Ross works year round collecting scientific data critical to achieving one of Trout Power’s goals for the West Canada Creek: Wild Trout thriving in the West Canada within twelve years. Wild Trout are a primary tourism trigger. Currently, the river is a stocked fishery only. That’s good, but it’s not great. In addition, spawning trout is a clear indicator for a sustainable, flourishing ecosystem in the river. If we want to protect this amazing resource and leverage it responsibly for generations to come, Trout Power believes

a wild trout population is key to achieving long-term prosperity for the West Canada and for all.

Promote

Calendar of Events as of 2/1/13 • Saturday and Sunday June 8 & 9: 28 mile Garage Sale from Barneveld to Herkimer on Rte 28.

• Saturday June 8th: Trout Power catch and release fishing derby and creel study • Sunday June 9th: Trout Power 5k run sponsored by Sweetie Pies Bakery

Work together to make sure the world knows our great story; fish in the Trout Power tournament during the event weekend. Volunteer at one of the Trout Power events. Own a business? Capitalize on the promotion year round and during the Trout Power event weekend, June 8-th-9th, 2013. Adopt one of the Trout Power events already created, and make it your own! If you’re not sure how to create something to attract customers that weekend, work with Trout Power to coordinate ideas and ways to drive business. Trout Power promotes using social media, website, billboards, maps, flyers, signage, radio and television, and community newspapers. Take advantage of this collective effort and prosper!

Prosper

When the trout prosper, we prosper. Working with area Chambers, Villages, Tourism boards, local business owners, we all prosper when people come to our area to stay and play. Great rivers like the Yellowstone, the Colorado, and rivers just to the east of us, the Delaware, the Farmington, the Hudson, thrive with fishermen and tourists alike. Trout Power believes it requires the collaboration and cooperation of a shared vision and effort in order for us to shine a large enough spotlight on the West Canada. With growth and prosperity, the pride and promise to landowners and to the fish must be enforced: “Leave the river better than you found it.”
