The short answer, yes, I have spring fever but not because I don’t love seeing the beautiful 4 seasons that are all magnificent here in upstate New York, but more so because I look forward to seeing green again! There is just something magical to me when the buds first start popping that bright, clean, refreshing green! The promise that life goes on, the dormant become active and lively again with a vibrant demontration of the circle of life. I don’t know exactly why, but since I was a child the first sighting of a Robin has been a spiritual moment for me... it never gets old and I remember from spring to spring that exact moment from year to year. I started noticing that my first sighting almost without fail is a shared experience. I am almost always with someone I love when my first Robin appears! I can’t explain it, but instead have embraced it and look forward to my first sighting each spring! This year I have a new lawn to keep my eye on, a new view out my front windows which causes me to reflect even more! Last spring I shared my first Robin with my husband Matt. We were walking hand in hand down West Park Row in Clinton. I looked across the park and in front of the gazebo there he was, his bright red chest puffed out and obviously on the prowl for his mid morning snack! I found that such a beautiful first sighting! It was shared with Matt, the man I love with all my heart, in the village that we had our
PULSE office in, on the street that is home to shops that are owned by great people who made us feel so welcome, and a beautiful bright, sunny, warm spring day! It was one of those, “I am so grateful for my life moments!” I will share just one more of my favorite first sightings with you... it was in 1980, I was expecting my first baby and had been hospitalized for observation for a possible complication. I was back home with the assurance that the baby was fine and everything was normal but still so scared that something was not right. I remember praying that I would be granted peace of mind so that I could relax and enjoy the experience of carrying my first without the constant anxiety. I was leaving my house to go to work and as I backed up my car to leave my driveway I looked over my shoulder and there they were... 3 Robins which I took as my sign that my life would soon include one more person making my family a 3! If that wasn’t enough of a gift, as I backed out and started down the hill, still looking at my front lawn and those 3 Robins, I felt my little man kick for the first time! God is good, be thankful for what you have been given and allow yourself to enjoy the little pleasures of life... like your first Robin of spring! Until next time!

The name “New Hartford” was given to the small town by the Kellog family who arrived from Hartford, CT, in 1772, becoming the very first settlers. The Town of New Hartford was settled in 1788 by Jediah Sanger, who was 37 years old and deep in debt. All of his previously owned property had been destroyed by a bear. Sanger bought 1,000 acres of land, each acre for $.50. The first

Drew owns the Ward Law Firm as an estate planning attorney with six employees and located in the Village for the last six years, and Jennifer opened the Evolve Discovery Center on Genesee Street just over a year ago. Evolve is a student enrichment center, which hosts programming in languages, culture, art and even cooking.
A 10% shift in market share from chains to locals could result in: Nearly $140 million in new economic activity, over 1600 new jobs, and providing over $50 million in new wages.
“We are so happy that we settled here in Oneida County. We love raising our family and growing our businesses here,” says Drew.

Celtic crosses & St. Patrick’s Day Many symbols have become synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day. These include shamrocks, leprechauns, green clothing, and the Irish flag. Another symbol of the holiday is the Celtic cross, though some people are unaware of its history. The Celtic cross, which is sometime referred to as a ringed cross, high cross or Irish cross, traces its origins to a time when Christianity was being introduced during an era of widespread paganism.
Did you know?
When you shop locally owned businesses, your money is recirculated over and over and creates up to 75% more tax revenue to your community and state.
Although the Celtic cross is now largely associated with Christianity, this was not always the norm. It is believed that the Celtic cross pre-dates Christianity and actually was associated with an older religion wherein symbols were an important component of beliefs rather than deities themselves. The ring in the cross is believed to have symbolized rebirth and renewal. Some surmise that the actual cross represented the north, south, east and west of the region. Examples of the Celtic cross were documented as early as the fifth century, despite tales of St. Patrick being responsible for the creation of the cross. However, there may be some truth in the stories that Patrick used the cross as a means to converting pagans to Christianity. The popular Irish legend says that Patrick combined the Christian cont. on page 10 8 PULSE pulsepointpress.com MARCH 2013

from page 8 cross with the symbol of life -- a circle -- in order to gradually introduce Christian concepts to pagans. Using symbols that the Irish were already familiar with helped to make the transition easier. Irish monks erected Celtic crosses across the country. According to Celtic by Design, these crosses largely served as boundary markers for certain parishes or were used as monuments surrounding churches and
monasteries. At least 60 Celtic crosses still exist across Ireland, and there are many others in ruins. Sandstone and granite were the stones most often used to construct the Celtic crosses. They also featured intricate carvings and inlays that added to their striking appearance. The cross was constructed with a very heavy and strong base into which the actual cross was seated with a tenon joint.

The cross would have different panels that could depict biblical scenes, and the ring would be placed at the intersection of the cross. A capstone and finial may have completed the top of the monument. Although they were once used as monuments, they stopped being produced around the 15th century. Celtic crosses now appear in tattoos and on t-shirts and many use the symbolism on grave markers. Famous Celtic
crosses that can still be viewed today include the Ardboe Auld Cross, the Cross of Kells, the Cross of the Scriptures, and the crosses at Monasterboice. Similar crosses also were produced in other areas of Europe, such as France. Some historians think they were influenced by those from the British Isles. Other crosses were found in the Galicia area of Spain on top of granaries to ward against evil spirits.

cognitive coping skills reported fewer adverse physical problems over time and retained their physical and mental health better than those who were not in a coping skills group. This isn’t the first evidence that optimism can have profound benefits. In a retrospective study of 34 healthy Hall of Fame baseball players who were on teams between 1900 and 1950, the known optimists lived longer. Survival rates for optimistic cancer patients are higher than for those who are hopeless. Optimists are also better equipped to handle stress and manage incidents that would incite anxiety.
Although there are plenty of people who seem to be eternally optimistic, optimism is not an inherited trait. Changing perceptions and teaching oneself to Mary ChubbuckMary Chubbuck

be more optimistic is possible. Being an optimist doesn’t mean turning a blind eye to problems or expecting everything to be easy. Being optimistic means learning from situations and recognizing that obstacles are there for a purpose. Men and women hoping to become more optimistic can employ the following strategies. * Stop and embrace a positive event.Take time to mull over something good that has happened and take credit for your involvement. Mentally categorize this feeling for later when you need an example of the way optimism makes you feel. * Surround yourself with optimists. Hang out with people who have a sunny view on life rather than those who bring you down or commiserate. Learning from example can help you develop more positive thinking patterns. * Believe you can and will succeed. When approaching something new, don’t set yourself up for failure. Go into it with the vision that you will thrive. Even if you don’t succeed as planned, you can use the opportunity as a learning experience and set a new plan to tackle.

The Princess Shop delivers
“Fabulous” LOCALLY
New Hartford Shopping Ctr • 732-2125 www.lambertoopticians.com
Sixty Five Years ago The Princess Shop opened for business and has been this area’s unique “fashion connection” ever since. Owner, Denise Houck, purchased the shop in 1993 after working for the company for two decades. She strives to bring a touch of New York City to New Hartford and the surrounding area by carrying fashions not seen in any other area store. Denise says, “If someone else has it , we don’t want it.” The Princess Shop is a full service store specializing in formal wear, prom gowns, mother of the bride gowns, and sportswear with a full selection of inventory from young and contem-
porary to smart and sophisticated. Approximately six years ago the Shoe Port was added to the store creating a “one stop shopping experience.” The shop also carries fashion accessories such as bags, Brighton, belts and scarves. Customer service is always at the forefront at The Princess Shop with an experienced staff focusing on bringing out “YOUR best feature” in every outfit. The lost art of alterations is no lost art here… Denise keeps a seamstress on hand for efficient, professional alterations. The staff strives to continually provide a shopping experience that has earned them the title of Central New York’s #1 Prom Des-
from page 12 * Erase negative phrases from your vocabulary. Using the terms “I can’t” or “It’s impossible” is a recipe for failure. * Avoid complaints. Complaining does little more than make the person complaining feel even worse and could bring down the people around you. Because it won’t solve anything, there really is nothing productive about it. If you must get your feelings out, write them in a book and then tuck that book away. * Take care of your body. You certainly can’t be positive if you aren’t feeling 100 percent. A well-balanced diet, routine exercise, sufficient rest, and finding time to go outdoors and get some fresh air and sunshine can help keep a person on a positive path. *Get involved. Spending too much time isolated and alone can eventually degrade anyone’s 14 PULSE pulsepointpress.com MARCH 2013
feelings of well-being. Take the time to meet with people outside of your family and engage in different activities that take your mind off of stressors. People who are busy in a good way are more inclined to see the brighter side of life. *Practice positive affirmations. Tell yourself good things. Receiving praise is something that instantly can put a person in a good mood. Instead of waiting for praise from others, give yourself a pat on the back every day. * Realize that things don’t happen overnight. Becoming more optimistic will take time, but it can be done. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a little more time than you expected. Living longer and more productively comes partially from being an optimistic person and making the best of every situation.
tination. Denise commented to PULSE that girls have traveled to Syracuse and beyond to find the same dresses at a higher cost with less selection, poor customer service, high alteration costs, and time consuming lines! After interviewing Denise and taking a look at the prom gown inventory at The Princess Shop, I can’t imagine finding anything any better, anywhere! 22 fitting rooms await you, a full staff of professionals, all the top prom gown designers represented with over 700 dresses to choose from makes The Princess Shop a definite destination for prom season! As a businesswoman, I was also thrilled with the selection of top name sportswear. From business meeting to the dance floor… The Princess Shop has you covered!
girls find dresses that brought out each girl’s best features. There was laughing and smiles all around. No one was waiting for service. It was a pleasant environment with helpful professionals making many teenagers and their parents very happy… bottom line, why would you want to go anywhere else? The Princess Shop believes in our community and appreciates their customers. How many more reasons should anyone need to feel great about patronizing a local business?
An advocate for shopping locally, Denise proudly commented, “The Princess Shop and all of the other great stores right here in the New Hartford Shopping Center have so much to offer our community and with the tax money this center is responsible for contributing to our local school district and our area, I just don’t understand why anyone would want to leave their money to work for another county!” I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Sodium perborate can sometimes reduce these organic stains, but the use of hydrogen peroxide is safer on any optical dyes or whitening agents that may be on the fabric. NEVER use chlorine type bleaches on white wool.
A: One of the most common causes of yellow and brown stains on wool is from spillage or contact with tannin or sugars. These substances are found in a variety of beverages and foods. Any tannin-bearing or sugar bearing substances may dry on the clothing invisibly when the moisture evaporates, but the residue remains. Eventually, with just age alone or increased exposure to hear, this residue will oxidize and become a stain.
For the bleach bath, it is suggested that you use a formula of one pint of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution for every two gallons of water needed to submerse the garment. Remember that hydrogen peroxide is a very slow acting bleach and loses its strength rapidly, so it may take several hours, as well as a couple cycles of solution replenishment to gain result. After the desired result is achieved, the garment should be rinsed in cold water and hung to dry. It is recommended that no agitation of the garment take place either while wet soaking or air drying.
Once these stains oxidize and become visible, normal local stain removal efforts may be ineffective. The next step could be a careful wet soaking with an oxygen-type bleach.

Unique ways to shop locally
Shopping locally is a great way to benefit your community and, in many instances, your bottom line. When consumers shop locally, they help stimulate their local economies, creating jobs for their neighbors by helping local businesses grow and thrive. Shopping locally also saves shoppers long trips to the mall that can waste expensive fuel, especially if consumers don’t find what they’re looking for. Shopping locally is especially important when the economy is struggling, as smaller businesses are not always as capable of bearing the brunt of a recession as larger ones. The following are a handful of unique ways men and women can shop locally. * Forgo a traditional vacation. If you’re used to taking an annual trip to a Caribbean island or another faraway locale, forgo that trip this year and take a more local vacation instead. A local vacation can be similar to a
staycation, when you simply stay home, but spend some nights out on the town in your local community. Go out to eat, take in a concert or theater performance at a nearby theater or take the kids out for miniature golf. For those who feel the need to get away from home, consider a local bed and breakfast or another relaxing locale that’s close to home. You will still get the feel of a traditional vacation, but you won’t spend as much and you’ll be doing your part to help the local economy. * Visit a local amusement park. An amusement park is a fun way to spend an afternoon, but such parks are also beneficial for a local economy, creating jobs and attracting out-of-towners looking for a wholesome good time. When thinking about ways to shop locally, consider a trip to your local amusement park. You’re not likely to find a more fun way to help your community.

* Hit the links. A round of golf is another great way to stimulate your local economy. Municipally owned golf courses are owned by the municipality, which means each dollar you spend is money that’s going back into your community. And much like other local businesses, the golf course is no doubt employing your friends and neighbors, giving even more money back to your community. * Treat yourself to a spa treatment. Another unique and indulgent way to support your local economy is to treat yourself to a spa treatment. The cost of a spa trip depends on what you prefer, but even a relatively inexpensive trip to the spa will support a local business. Plus, you’ll reap the rewards of that support immediately. Shopping locally is more than just dining out or buying locally produced foods. Those who want to embrace shopping locally can do so in a variety of ways.

Bake delicious soda bread
Soda bread has become a staple of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. But the tradition of Irish soda bread is a relatively recent one, especially when considering the extensive history of Irish culture.
New & Used RV’s & Accessories Truck Caps & Tonneau Covers
In the 1800s, yeast breads were practically unheard of in rural Ireland. Yeast bread took a while to make and the results were not consistent to make it a worthwhile venture for many households. Instead, people began experimenting with baking soda as a leavening agent. Not only was it a quick way to produce the aeration necessary for bread, the results also were more consistent than using yeast.
$25. OFF25 Any Fiberglass or Tonneau Cover (with this ad)
The first soda breads featured only a few basic ingredients in addition to the baking soda, including salt, buttermilk and flour. The bread was served often with fresh, churned butter. It is a recent change to the recipe to include other flavoring agents, like sugar, currants, caraway seeds, and raisins.

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Spray an 8-inch-diameter cake pan with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl to blend. Add butter. Using your fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the buttermilk, gradually stirring dry ingredients into the milk to blend. Mix in the raisins. Using floured hands, shape dough into a ball. Transfer to the prepared pan and flatten slightly (dough will not come to the edges of the pan). Sprinkle dough with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake bread until brown and when the tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Spotlight on notable
Irish-Americans There is no denying that Irish eyes are smiling come the month of March. With the widely celebrated and festive Saint Patrick’s Day arriving mid-month, the parades and shamrocks might overshadow the fact that there’s more to Irish heritage than Saint Patrick’s Day. In fact, the entire month of March is dedicated to IrishAmerican heritage. In 1840, many Irish people emigrated to North America to escape the great potato famine happening in Ireland. Today almost 40 million people claim Irish ancestry, and there are millions of Irish-Americans making contributions to the United States each and every day, with notable Irish-Americans in all walks of life. Here are just a handful of people of Irish heritage who have made strides in their respective disciplines through the years. * Charles Carroll III: Carroll was born in Maryland where there were once laws to prohibit Catholics from voting, holding office or worshiping publicly. Carol became a Catholic-rights activist and also served as a U.S. Senator in the first Congress. He holds the title as the only Catholic to have signed the Declaration of Independence. * Harry “Bing” Crosby: Crosby was an acclaimed entertainer whose contributions are still valued today, more than three decades after his death. A singer and actor, his trademark smooth, baritone voice helped catapult Crosby to the list of top record sellers for the twentieth century. One of the first people to receive three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Crosby also earned an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Father Chuck O’Malley in the 1944 motion picture “Going My Way.” * Henry Ford: The American auto industry can give thanks to the eviction of John Ford from Cork in 1847, which enabled
the Ford family to move to the States shortly after. John’s son Henry became an automobile pioneer and helped pave the way for the dominance and popularity of the American car. * John Hughes: Many people say that Hughes’ popular teen movies documented their own teenage years. Hughes is best known for a string of quirky, yet spot-on depictions of the average American teenager that helped start the careers of actors who would go on to be known as the “Brat Pack.” In the 1990s, hits like “Home Alone” and “Curly Sue” also resonated with audiences and helped solidify Hughes as a leader in family entertainment. He passed away in 2009 from a heart attack. * James Hetfield: Fans of the popular heavy metal band Metallica are no strangers to the accomplishments of its frontman Hetfield. Hetfield co-founded the band in 1982 and since then has helped make Metallica one of the most renowned bands of this genre. The band’s hit “Enter Sandman”helped further propel the group’s popularity both in and outside of its angst-driven heavy metal fan base.

* Ron Howard: One of Hollywood’s most successful directors, Howard can also lay claim to being one of its most successful child actors. Appearing in his first film in 1956 at just 18 months old, Howard went on to memorable roles such as Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show” and Richie Cunningham on “Happy Days.” While his role on “Happy Days” made him a household name, it was behind the camera where Howard’s career would truly take off. Howard’s directorial career has produced several hits, including “Splash,” “Willow,” “Apollo 13,” and “A Beautiful Mind,” which earned him the Academy Award for Best Director. cont on page 24 PULSE pulsepointpress.com MARCH 2013 23

How to litter box train
your bunny
Rabbits can make wonderful pets. If you want a pet but cats and dogs aren’t for you, a rabbit can fill the void. Although rabbits may need less interaction than a dog, they still require a lot of responsibility and commitment. The task of caring for a rabbit is made easier by training your
rabbit to use a litter box.
Rabbits can be raised as social animals that like to interact with human handlers. Whether a rabbit is sociable is not breed-specific. This is largely dependent on the care and handling from the owner. Raised from a kit, rabbits can be accustomed to handling any human interaction and be very companionable pets. What deters many people from rabbits is unfamiliarity with one as a pet and the prospect of many droppings being left around the house.
Many people have pet rabbits, and after a little training, these animals can roam the house just like other pets. Contrary to popular belief, rabbits aren’t dirty. In fact, this reputation often stems from inattentiveness and lack of cleaning on the part of the pet parent. In reality, rabbits are “prey” animals who will instinctively keep a clean home to prevent the build up of odor that would reveal the location of their dens to potential predators.
Unlike other mammals, rabbits and other lagomorphs produce two types of droppings. Fecal pellets are the commonly found ones that are round and dry. These can be seen in piles and can number in the dozens. Rabbits will also produce cecotropes, which are formed in a region of the rabbit’s digestive tract. These cecotropes contain important nutrients and healthy bacteria and fungi, which are essential to the health of a rabbit. continued on page 26

the vernal equinox Twice a year the Earth’s axis is positioned so that it is pointed neither toward the sun nor away from it. During these times, the sun is in the same plane of the Earth’s equator. This means the sun can be viewed directly overhead at the equator at these times of the year. The name given to this is “equinox.”
“Homemade is our specialty!”
The word “equinox” is actually derived from the Latin words meaning “equal night.” Many people refer to the equinox as the time when both day and night are of equal length. However, this is actually a misconception, as equality of daylight and darkness depends on your geographic location. When the from page 24 Rabbits will eat the cecotropes as they exit the body.

It has been said that rabbits can often be litter box trained and seldom have accidents outside of the box. Rabbits prefer one or two places to put their waste. To start the process you will need patience. * Buy a litter box that the rabbit can easily access. Standard cat litter boxes often work well. * Confine the rabbit to one room and place the litter box in the cage with the rabbit. * Observe where the rabbit likes to relieve itself. If it’s in the litter box, this is a great first step. If not, simply move the litter box where the rabbit is doing its business. * Once successful, give the rabbit a little bit of freedom at a time. Try letting the rabbit out of the cage in the confined room
northern hemisphere of the Earth is experiencing the spring, or vernal equinox, the southern hemisphere is experiencing the autumnal equinox. The vernal equinox is widely known as the first day of spring. It is a happy time for so many people because it marks the point in the calendar when the weather will soon begin to warm and flowers and animals will repopulate. It is also the cont next page with the litter box nearby. * Gradually give the rabbit more freedom, luring it to the box with treats and praise. Make sure the pet is aware of the litter box’s location. * It may take locating a few boxes around a large space before a rabbit grows acclimated to using the litter box. Then you can gradually reduce the number of boxes. Rabbits can take time to catch on to litter box training, and even when you’re fairly certain the training is complete, you may still find a few pellets left near the box. Some people overlook rabbits as pets because of fear of the unknown and the idea of droppings all over the home. However, rabbits can make affectionate and agreeable pets for families that have the time to devote to training. If you don’t have the time to train your bunny, the chocolate or marshmallow variety might be a better choice!
point in time from which the days will continue to get longer and there will be more sunlight. In 2013, the vernal equinox takes place on March 20th at 7:02 a.m. EST.
Although the hours of the day and night aren’t completely equal, there are many other remarkable things associated with the equinox. * During an equinox, the sun rises due east and sets due west. These are the only times this occurs. These are the only days of the year when the sun will cross the sky in a perfectly straight line. * At the North Pole, the vernal equinox marks the start of six months of uninterrupted daylight. At the South Pole, it starts six months of darkness. * In the Gregorian calendar, the use of leap years means the equinoxes occur on the same days nearly every year. The spring equinox typically arrives on March 20th or 21st. * On every very vernal equinox there are scores of people who attempt to stand an egg on end because they believe the position of the Earth’s axis will help balance the egg. This is an urban legend and there is no scientific reason to suppose that an alignment of the Earth’s axis will affect items on Earth, including eggs. It is possible to stand
an egg on end with patience and the right shaped egg. It can be done any time of the year, not just on an equinox. The vernal equinox is a time for people living in the northern hemisphere to prepare for a new season of sunlight, warmth, rebirth, and entertaining. It won’t be long before there are buds on the trees and tulips and daffodils are popping up.

with your body it doesn’t really matter. In fact, I believe that you cannot ever be truly healthy without regular Chiropractic care. It’s an anatomical fact that your nervous system controls every bodily function. Nobody will dispute that. Your spine protects the central nervous system. Why wouldn’t every human being get their spine checked to ensure that there are no breakdowns in the system? Seems pretty simple to me. We are in the midst of a healthcare crisis. You need an appointment to have a heart attack these days. Hospitals are overcrowded with sick people. There are shortages of doctors. We can no longer sit idly by and hope for the best. We have to start doing things differently and it starts with proper spinal hygiene. Ben Franklin said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Get your spine checked BEFORE you have the disease, BEFORE you get sick, BEFORE you have the pain! Chiropractors are the only doctors in the world that can restore communication be-
tween the brain and the body without drugs or surgery. We use proven methods of analysis including x-rays to detect the cause of your problem, then employ specific, gentle adjustments to remove those problems from your spine. The benefits of a healthy functioning nervous system include more energy, more flexibility, and better adaptation to the environment. Our practice members generally experience more happiness, less disease, higher immune system function, can breathe better and have a higher understanding of how the body functions and how everything fits together.

The holistic way of health and healing emphasizes connection of mind, body and spirit. We know that each of us is in some way connected to all living things and that spirit is found everywhere, in houses of worship as well as in forests and beaches, in people alive and remembered, in the animal kingdom, in the plant kingdom, in the earth itself as well as in the heavens. As such, we consider the differences between healing and curing and recognize that both are needed if one is to attain and maintain optimal wellness.

“conventional”, but rather that both approaches are best integrated. Both curing and healing
are needed throughout the
lifespan at different times and in different circumstances. To use a storytelling and metaphoric approach, life becomes a garden of many plants and formations, moving mindfully through all the seasons on the journey from seed to fruition and beyond. Health then becomes a process of transformation—of
lifestyle choices, emotions and spirit, as well as making whatever course changes are needed to maintain and support the physical body. What will your inner garden grow this year? In the depths of winter when the seed and gardening catalogs arrive, often during the silence of heavy snowfall, the soul is nourished by colorful images of shrubs, trees, flowers and vegetables that will later support the physical body in our garden of life. We envision our garden beds, or those of others that we enjoy visiting and imagine witnessing growth and later reaping bounty. We plan for what we will add to our gardens, as well as what will remain and be fed, or be pulled out and replaced. Earlier on I had a narrower image of what the ideal garden consisted of, usually leaning more towards flowers to nourish my soul. I favored the tall and strong stature of tulips and sunflowers, those that turned their faces to the sun and could easily survive a heavy wind and storm. It was not until much later that I discovered beautiful plants which grow in the shade, as well as those of more delicate foliage or smaller form, whose habit is closer to the ground, or even of shorter lifespan. These days I marvel at blooms like the daylily, whose individual flowers last literally only for a day, providing brilliance in living their purpose however briefly, and returning with new and greater growth each year.
In our health and wellness, we all experience the occasional storm or even seasons of uncommon struggle and gratefully seek out cure. Often after a serious or traumatic experience there is later healing needed as well, rebalancing and fortifying to support new growth, or even pruning away to release what is no longer needed and create space for the new energy which inevitably comes when we are open to it. As the March winds blow, and the birds begin to sing, consider your own garden of the coming year. Evaluate what simply needs to be given fresh air and something to fertilize new growth. Fearlessly identify that which may need to be released, and if someone to walk with you is needed, know that by opening one’s head and heart to the familiar as well as the uncommon, amazing healing can occur, and that support is readily available to you if you seek it out. May your spring herald transformation and your consciousness bring you abundant growth this year.

Treat sleeplessness with vitamins
New Attitude Salon & Wellness Spa
and supplements Millions of people around the world battle insomnia. Sleeplessness may be a byproduct of different conditions, and treatment may depend on the underlying cause of the insomnia. Many people find using all-natural supplement therapy is enough to ward off sleeplessness. Insomnia is more prevalent among elderly individuals and women. Elderly people are more likely than younger ones to have medical conditions that may cause pain at night or to take medication that can interfere with a good night’s rest. Some research suggests that men lose about 80 percent of their deep sleep between the ages of 16 and 50. For women, hormonal events often trigger sleeplessness. These can include menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. Individuals who are over the age of 50 may be more prone to anxiety, grief and depression which can cause sleeplessness. Although there are many different medications, be it prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs, to alleviate symptoms of sleeplessness, some people prefer to not take these medications due to the risk of dependency or the side effects associated with them. Hypnotics, which include the brand name Ambien, have been linked to morning drowsiness and even temporary amnesia, where individuals walk around, drive or even cook while under the medication and are unaware of what they are doing. Those who are looking for more natural approaches can
use the following vitamins and minerals in conjunction with good sleep hygiene. * Calcium and magnesium combination: Calcium and magnesium have been shown to relax the central nervous system, helping the body drift into sleep. According to Dr. William Sears, calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to manufacture the sleep-inducing substance melatonin. It is important to note that a balanced ratio of calcium to magnesium helps calcium work properly. It is recommended to take 500 mg of calcium and 250 mg of magnesium once per day, later in the evening. This can be done after dinner or a few hours before going to bed for best results. * Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a watersoluble vitamin required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine. It also helps with myelin formation. Those who are deficient in B6 find the peripheral nerves, skin, mucous membranes and the central nervous system can be affected. Taking 50 mg of vitamin B6 daily can help in the production of serotonin and promote sleep. It is believed to work well for people who struggle to stay asleep through the night. * Vitamin B12 and vitamin B5 combination: Taking 25 milligrams of B12, especially when supplemented with vitamin B5
(pantothenic acid), can be a successful sleeplessness remedy. Vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common and is a factor for many patients who suffer from insomnia, especially seniors. Vitamin B5 may also relieve stress. * 5-HTP: Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter involved in sleep and mood, and 5-HTP, or 5-hydroxytroptophan, is a precursor to serotonin. In several double-blind clinical studies, 5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and to decrease the number of awakenings, according to HolisticOnline. It is recommended to take 100 to 300 mg, around 45 minutes before retiring for bed. * Melatonin: Although melatonin is the go-to supplement for sleeplessness because of its direct relationship with sleep onset and circadian rhythm in the body, some research indicates that melatonin supplementation may only be effective for those who are deficient in this hormone. However, it may be effective for the elderly person who naturally produces less melatonin as he or she ages. A report titled, “Melatonin in elderly patients with insomnia: A systematic review,” found there is sufficient evidence that low doses of melatonin improve initial sleep quality in selected elderly insomniacs. Melatonin doses ranged from 0.5 mg to 6 mg, and most participants took a single dose 30 to 120 minutes before bedtime. However, larger, randomized controlled trials with less strict inclusion criteria are necessary to yield evidence of effectiveness in geriatric patients who suffer from insomnia before widespread use can be advocated. Sleeplessness is something that can cause anything from mere annoyance to a long-term health problem. Older adults who are more prone to insomnia can consider a number of natural remedies to help get a better night’s rest.

Newer child safety seat guidelines Parents of young children may need to brush up on their knowledge of child safety seats and seat belt restraints. Many are still operating in adherence to older guidelines that go back more than a decade. As a result, parents should re-educate themselves in order to ensure child safety. In guidelines published in April of 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics made some modifications to the period of time a child should be kept in a rearfacing seat. Prior to 2011, parents were told it was safest for infants and toddlers to ride rear-facing up to the limits of the car seat or when children reached 12 months in age and 20 pounds. But new guidelines advise that children should be kept rear-facing until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.
ing the head, neck and spine of infants and toddlers in a crash, because it distributes the force of the collision over the entire body,” says Dennis Durbin, MD, FAAP, the lead author of the new policy.
Children should be kept in rear-facing seats until they outgrow them. There are some rear-facing seats that will ac-
“A rear-facing child safety seat does a better job of support-
commodate children up to 40 pounds. As long as the child is still below the weight and height limit of the current child seat, they should continue to face the back of the car. Rear-facing seat recommendations weren’t the only ones to be modified in 2011. New advice on booster seats for older children were also presented. The AAP and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say children should ride in a belt-positioning booster -- which is the high-back booster seat that provides a guide for the vehicle’s seat belt -- until they are at least 4 feet, 9 inches and between 8 to 12 years old. Vehicle seat belts are designed to fit an average adult. In order to get the best protection, children usually need a booster seat until they are about 4 feet 9 inches tall and weigh between 80 to 100 pounds. Smaller children may need to remain in a booster a little longer than anticipated. As a child still fits within the manufacturer’s weight and

height limits for the booster seat, it is safer for the child to remain in the booster seat rather than wear a regular seat belt. Children should not ride in the front seat of a car until they are age 13 or older. Parents of preteens who were under the impression that booster seat days were coming to an end will need to keep the safety seats in the car a few years longer. But safety seats should not be placed in an area of the car where an air bag can be deployed. Parents and other adult drivers may want to heed some other safety precautions before a child is upgraded to a new seat. * A seat belt should never be placed under a child’s arm. * Children should always be buckled up in a booster seat with both the shoulder and lap belt. * The seat belt should fall across the shoulders and the lap belt should rest on the upper thighs when a child is in the seat of a car. If the seat belt rubs against the neck, the child is not yet tall enough to give up a booster seat. * Mirrors placed in the rear seat of the car can help parents see their children in rear-facing toddler seats. * Children who cannot be trusted to keep a seat belt latched should not be moved from a five-point harness to a regular seat belt.
* Parents unsure if their children are buckled up correctly can have the seat checked at a police station or first aid building. Keeping children safe means heeding warnings and guidelines regarding safety restraints. It is not adviseable to upgrade a child into the next seat until he or she has met all the measurement requirements set in place. SIDEBAR: Car seat expiration In addition to using the right car seat for a child’s age, weight and height, drivers should also be aware to check the expiration dates of seats they already have. While a car seat will not grow moldy after a few years, it does “expire,” meaning it is no longer deemed safe for use. That’s because these seats are not built to last forever. Hairline cracks may form in the plastic, and the harness belts may become stretched or more elastic after years of use. Manufacturers do not test safety seats after a certain period of time, so they cannot state how they will perform in an accident after many years. Most seats will feature a label on the bottom that indicates when the seat is likely to become unsafe -- typically between five and six years after manufacture. It can be tempting to borrow a used car seat from a friend or family member to save money, but if the seat is older parents could be putting children at risk.

Cultivate an herb garden Many people cultivate gardens both inside and outside of their homes with a focus on adding aesthetic appeal to their property. But a garden that boasts plants that are edible and pleasing to the eye is a possibility as well. Planting an herb garden is a creative way to enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of a wide variety of plants. Using fresh-harvested herbs in culinary endeavors imparts a taste that dried spices cannot match. What’s more, fresh herbs are often easy to cultivate. Herbs are versatile, capable of lending great flavor to foods while also playing different roles in personal health and beauty. Herbs can be grown to perfume homes and bodies. There are herbs that are also purported to
help with ailments, from upset stomachs to anxiety. When planting an herb garden, you may want to pay particular attention to the types of flavors and smells you like in your home and cooking. This will help you to narrow down the types
of herbs you will plant. Many would-be herb gardeners tend to start small to see what luck they have when cultivating herbs. Fortunately, herbs can grow well in containers indoors, provided the soil is amenable and there is plenty of sunlight.
Herbs will grow best in wellprepared soil. Make sure that it is rich in organic matter and drains well. Also, for plants like parsley, be sure to have deep pots or dig deeply in the garden to establish long taproots. Until the weather warms up, you may want to begin herb cultivation indoors and then transfer plants outside during the summer. Basil, for instance, is a tropical plant that does well in warm conditions. Therefore, it will need to be kept away from drafts and get several hours of direct sunshine a day. Place most herb planters in a south-facing window of a home to ensure they get ample sunlight and to allow the soil to dry adequately between waterings. With many herbs, leaf production will diminish on any stems that flower. It is essential to pinch off flowers that form to encourage the herb plant to continue producing leaves, which are the parts of the plant most associated with seasoning and aroma.

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.

Spotlight on Brenda’s Natural Foods
I met Brenda when I first moved from Louisiana to Rome for my son with autism. Hav-
ing to keep him strictly gluten free, I was at a loss at where to shop in the area that I could find the products I needed for him. I found all, and so much more the minute I entered the door at Brenda’s. The one thing I have always given this little place so much credit for, is the outstanding customer service you receive the minute you enter the door, you feel just like they have known you for years. Brenda was happy to report business has more than doubled since the doors opened. Hoping this is a result of more people turning to a healthier lifestyle. In June, Brenda’s will be expanding and moving two buildings down to 236 W. Dominic Street. The new building will have a sit down and eat café area with
daily lunches. There is so much excitement about the new location with the extension of the eating area. This will be one of the few places to be able to go and have a healthy, gluten free lunch while visiting with friends. It does not take you long when you walk through the doors to see that Brenda is a big supporter of local vendors. I walked the aisles for a while and was just in awe at the local food products made right here in our area, most I am sure people aren’t even aware of. She carries
Herbal and dietary supplements, which at the moment are 10% off. I cannot speak highly enough about this little place. From popcorn, to jellies, vegetables and fruits. The variety of different flavors and choices makes for an enjoyable shopping experience. Specialty items, such as gluten free, casein free, organic, natural soaps and shampoos, herbs and spices, and so much more. If she does not have what you are looking for, she will be more than happy to order it for you. Always pleasant experiences that will make you feel like you’ve made a new friend when you leave the store. Be sure to look her up on Facebook, her website is www. brendasnaturalfoods.com. 3370437.

put out for composting. Foamtype eggs may be dissolved with water. * Make edible eggs. Traditional Easter eggs can be wasteful if the eggs are boiled and used entirely for display. Rather, make eggs that will be enjoyed and are not at risk of spoiling too soon after being on display. Gelatin-dessert eggs is one way to use the eggs after Easter, and creative people can try crafting eggs out of meringue as well. * Dough eggs: Have the children get out their favorite modeling dough and craft multicolored eggs as a fun, rainy-day project. Those who want the eggs to last can purchase actual clay from the craft store or whip up their own medium at home. After drying, the eggs should be ready to paint. * Drained eggs: Those interested in using the yolks and albumen from the eggs for cooking can poke small holes into the eggs and drain them. Then the remaining eggshells can be decorated and put on display.
