Original Valley PENNYSAVER • June 9, 2012
June 9, 2012 Hello Again, How I wish we could gather a group around the old chunk stove in Charlie Hearn’s store and listen to the discussion on some of our current hot political topics. Michael Bloomberg, mayor of the largest city in this hemisphere, New York City, has been extra busy pushing a city-wide ban on oversized sweetened soft drinks. His office claims that the extra large size containers of sweetened soft drinks are a major cause of obesity in his city, especially in children. If the ban becomes law, only grocery stores will be allowed to offer giant-sized sweetened soft drinks. Hot dog stands, fast food restaurants, ball games, places of entertainment will break the law if they offer for sale large soft drinks. Can you honestly imagine anyone who lives in New York City taking his 8-year-old son or daughter to a ball game at the new Yankee Stadium and allowing that child to buy one of those huge containers of soda pop? That child would spend most of the ball game time visiting the toilet, and if you had to walk home every fire hydrant would become a pit stop. Looking into the future, I can imagine the mayor’s office taking credit for creating hundreds of new government jobs. It will become impossible to enforce this new ban without a huge staff of highly trained soda pop cops. Soon we will see soda pop cops hauling hot dog vendors off to the brig, which will guarantee lawyers an opportunity to advertise on TV — “If the soda pop cop has got you, phone our office. Our highly trained soda pop attorneys will fight the soda pop cops and soda pop judge for you.” What’s next? Shorter long hot dogs? Eight-inch instead of foot long subs? Can you imagine this, “My Daddy is a soda pop cop.” Naturally, only highly educated, college educated persons with a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts or possibly a Masters degree will qualify as a soda-hot dog-sub cop. Watch out farmers, they may claim that oversized popcorn will ruin the 8-year-old’s belt line. Maybe you will be able to develop and grow popcorn that doesn’t pop so big. I can hear one of the old farmers around the chunk stove say, “That mayor and/or his staff members lack horse sense.” On the serious side, hasn’t the second most powerful office holder in the great Empire State got something more important to do with his time and power? Maybe he will end up copying our Vice President. Recently on national TV news, Vice President Biden was giving a speech to elementary school children. With all of the economic and social
Original Valley PENNYSAVER • June 9, 2012
Page 7
problems our nation is faced with, why would the president’s office fly the vice president around the country speech-a-fying to seven and eight-year-olds? Must be some real pressing problems covered in those speeches. Maybe if the soda pop ban becomes national, Vice President Biden can be chosen to become chief of the soda pop cops at the end of his term. Mr. President, can’t you find some better way to utilize your second-in-command? And Mayor Bloomberg, we believe you are a brilliant person — stop playing head games. Maybe you and our governor should spend time studying Governor Walker. If Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Cuomo are bored and are looking for something to do, how about the following: 1. The absolutely crazy, non-thinking, business-destroying 45 percent hike proposed by the Thruway authority. We believe that Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg may be two of the most capable men to ever hold their offices. But they must have some people on their staff that need to retire or get another daytime hobby. 2. Study what is happening in Wisconsin — talk with Governor Walker and turn the great Empire State back away from socialism and once again become a world business powerhouse. Socialism may play a tune on your heart, but your brain must be screaming for good old-fashioned capitalism. A small boy asked his mother, “Can I help Daddy fix the kitchen sink? I know all the words.” As young Tommy got a lecture on laziness from his grandfather, Gramps said, “When I was a boy, I thought nothing about working on the farm 10 hours every day.” Tommy said, “Well I don’t think much of it either.” Recently we were told about thieves operating in the country around us. I’m not worried about the crime in the country, but I understand that in our neighborhood they are now making house calls. A little girl in Sunday School had a tough problem. She said, “Early this morning I dreamed God sneezed, and I didn’t know what to say.” Once again, thanks for allowing the Original Valley Pennysaver to enter your life. Please keep in mind; it is the advertisers who make this publication possible. Take time to mention their advertisement while visiting their businesses. The Good Lord will be a wonderful guest in your home. All you have to do is invite him in. Fred Lee and the Lee Family

Girls on the Run group active in Canajoharie Last year, Kim Latza Hayes brought Girls on the Run to Canajoharie. This has been their second full season. All of the coaches are certified through GOTR and American Red Cross certified. They currently have one of the largest groups of girls that participate. This nationally recognized program has been going strong for over 10 years. The program lasted 10 weeks (twice a week) and there were three groups. The recent 5K held in Cooperstown had over 1,500 runners. These young ladies learn a lot about life lessons in this program. It’s just awesome. It’s a volunteer ONLY program. For more information visit www.girlsontherun.org

Did you know? A credit score is a number generated by a mathematical formula, or algorithm, based on information in each individual’s credit report. Lenders use different scoring models to determine if an applicant is worthy of credit, and these different models are why men and women have three different credit scores. But each of these models relies heavily on an individual’s credit report. Two of the most influential factors in determining an individual’s credit score are payment history and the amount of money owed. Payment history includes history of payment on credit cards, retail accounts,
installment loans, and mortgages. Adverse public records, including bankruptcies, liens and wage attachments also factor in. A credit score also takes into consideration the amount owed, including amount owed on certain types of accounts and the number of accounts with balances. In addition, the algorithm used to determine a credit score also considers an individual’s length of credit history, any new credit accounts they have opened and the types of credit they have used. The higher a person’s credit score, the better interest rate that person is likely to receive from a lender.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles Don’t trash this mail Do you read your Explanation of Benefits forms when they come in the mail? They could contain information that you need to know. The Explanation of Benefits gives the latest update on your Medicare payment status. Whenever a claim for services is filed, the information is sent to you. That’s your opportunity to verify whether the information is correct, especially the dollar amounts. Here are the things you need to note: • Total Charges: These are the amounts the doctor (or hospital, if you were a patient) wants to charge. • Approved Amount (which also could be called Medicare Approved or Allowed Amount): This is the dollar amount that Medicare allows your doctor to charge. • Patient Responsibility: This is your portion of the bill that Medicare allows, based on your policy’s percentage.
If the math is correct, so far so good, but there are other places errors could be evident. • Spelling of your name and patient ID number: Someone with the same name (but a different ID number) could end up on your account. • Dates of service and the name of the doctors: Did you go to that doctor on that date? Did you have the test or procedure that’s listed? • Prescriptions: Did you fill a prescription on that date? Look at the cost. If someone else’s drugs are listed on your account, it might send you to the “doughnut hole” too quickly. The doughnut hole is that gap in coverage where none of your drug costs are picked up until a certain large out-ofpocket amount is paid. Keep your Explanation of Benefits to compare from one month to the next. If anything looks wrong, call Medicare at 800-633-4227 to report it. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Whatchamacallits Contrary to the popular image of the happy milkmaid of long ago, milking cows was once a dangerous job. An inventor by the name of Edwin G. Farnham of Piscataquis, ME, estimated in the late 19th Century that between 15,000 and 20,000 milkmaids or milkmen suffered severe eye injuries each year from the switching of cows’ tails. He filed for a patent Feb. 24, 1890 for a cow-tail holder and patent No. 444,428 was granted to him on Jan. 13, 1891. The one shown here is owned by Willis “Skip” Barshied Jr. It works by clamping the larger end to the cow’s leg and the other end to its tail. Farnham was not the first to patent such a device. An earlier type of cow tail holder
was patented with a stated purpose other than preventing injury. According to an article in the monthly journal New England Farmer from 1854, “This little implement will prevent a good deal of swearing. So you see, it has a moral
bearing. Notwithstanding the practice is wicked, vulgar and ungentlemanly, a good many persons who milk cows, swear worse than ‘our army did in Flanders,’ when provoked thereto, by a rousing switch in the face with a vigorous cow’s tail.”

Moisture Control The amount of moisture that the air in your home can hold depends on the temperature of the air. As the temperature goes down, the air is able to hold less moisture. This is why, in cold weather, moisture condenses on cold surfaces (for example, drops of water form on the inside of a window). This moisture can encourage biological pollutants to grow. There are many ways to control moisture in your home: • Fix leaks and seepage. If water is entering the house from the outside, your options range from simple landscaping to extensive excavation and waterproofing. (The ground should slope away from the house.) Water in the basement can result from the lack of gutters or
a water flow toward the house. Water leaks in pipes or around tubs and sinks can provide a place for biological pollutants to grow. • Put a plastic cover over dirt in crawlspaces to prevent moisture from coming in from the ground. Be sure crawlspaces are well-ventilated. • Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to remove moisture to the outside (not into the attic). Vent your clothes dryer to the outside. • Turn off certain appliances (such as humidifiers or kerosene heaters) if you notice moisture on windows and other surfaces. • Raise the temperature of cold surfaces where moisture condenses. Use insulation or storm windows. Open doors
Dust Dust comes from several sources and is difficult to eliminate completely. Increased dust could be a sign that it is time to change a dirty furnace or air conditioner filter or vacuum cleaner bag. Activities that produce dust (such as sanding) can also be a source of an
increase. Dust can also be introduced into your home through air leaks in ducts, or air infiltration through leaky doors and windows. Prescription Checklist: • Change or clean your furnace and air conditioner filters once a month or

between rooms (especially doors to closets which may be colder than the rooms) to increase circulation. Circulation carries heat to the cold surfaces. Increase air circulation by using fans and by moving furniture from wall corners to promote air and heat circulation. Be sure that your house has a source of fresh air and can expel excessive moisture from the home. • Pay special atten-
tion to carpet on concrete floors. Carpet can absorb moisture and serve as a place for biological pollutants to grow. Use area rugs which can be taken up and washed often. In certain climates, if carpet is to be installed over a concrete floor, it may be necessary to use a vapor barrier over the concrete and cover that with subflooring to prevent a moisture problem.

according to the filter manufacturer’s instructions. Temporarily seal the filter in place with metalback duct tape. Write the date on the tape with a marker so your know when it was last changed. • Consider leaving your shoes at the door so you don’t track outside debris — often the largest source of dust — into
your house. • Sealing air leaks can help to reduce air infiltration that could be a source of dust. • Sealing duct air leaks, especially the return duct, can help prevent dust from being circulated throughout your house. Source: www.energystar.gov

BOCES early childhood education hosts end-of-year activities
The HerkimerFulton-HamiltonOtsego BOCES early childhood education program recently conducted a nursery school graduation and toddler playgroup end-of-the-year event. Local high-school juniors in the BOCES childhood education program work with the 3- and 4-year-olds in the nursery school class. High-school seniors in the program work with the 2- and 3-year-olds in the toddler playgroup. Members of the community who bring their children to the programs were able to attend the end-of-theyear events on Thursday, May 24. “We really appreciate the community support, so the highschool students get to interact with children instead of reading about them in textbooks,” said Kim Fragetta, BOCES early childhood education instructor. The nursery school graduation and the end-of-the-year event for the toddler playgroup give the young children and the highschool students the chance to show off the skills they learned during the school year, Fragetta said. Not only does the early childhood education program help the BOCES students learn, it also benefits the young children from the community, Fragetta said.
“It gives them the opportunity to learn that school is a good place to be,” she said. The nursery school takes place from 12:15 to 2:15 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at BOCES in Herkimer, and it has a maximum class size of 15 kids. The toddler playgroup takes place from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at BOCES in Herkimer, and it has a maximum class size of 12 kids. If interested in enrolling your child in either program, call Fragetta at 8672033. For information and more photos from the activities, visit www. herkimer-boces.org.
Brody Vogel, 3, the son of Brandy and Brian Vogel of Ilion, graduates from the Herkimer-FultonHamilton-Otsego BOCES early childhood education nursery school on Thursday, May 24, 2012. BOCES early childhood education instructor Kim Fragetta presents him with a certificate of completion. The graduation ceremony included other activities such as the children singing their favorite songs for their parents. The nursery school benefits both the young children in the community who are signed up for it and the local high-school students who get to work with children as part of their education at BOCES. For more information, visit www.herkimer-boces.org.
Local children play outside at Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES on Thursday, May 24, 2012, as part of the early childhood education toddler playgroup's end-of-the-year event. The kids' parents and local high-school students who are in the early childhood education program look on as the children play. The toddler playgroup benefits both the young children in the community who are signed up for it and the local high-school students who get to work with children as part of their education at BOCES.

FMCSA helps consumers “protect your move” with moving company checklist Checklist offers helpful tips during busiest moving season of the year WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Trans-portation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced the launch of a new “Consumer Checklist” to assist consumers in choosing a responsible interstate moving company. The free checklist, available on FMCSA’s www.Protect YourMove.gov website, will help consumers protect themselves from fraudulent or dishonest interstate household goods movers. “Household goods are precious cargo
for families across the country, representing so many important memories and milestones,” said U.S. Transportation Secre-tary Ray LaHood. “This new checklist will give consumers the tips they need to protect their move and make good decisions when selecting a moving company.” The checklist offers tips on the important steps consumers should take before hiring a moving company, including researching the interstate moving companies’ consumer complaint history as well as the company’s on-road safety performance records. Nationwide, the
cities where consumers filed the most complaints between October 2010 and September 2011 about interstate shipments that originated there were, in order, New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Diego, Atlanta, San Antonio, Philadelphia and Phoenix. By going to the Protect Your Move website, consumers can use a database to look up a company’s complaint history and safety records to compare companies nationally. The website contains resources about consumer rights for individuals employing an interstate moving company. Addition-
al material includes tips for spotting rogue movers, and information written in plain English outlining all federal regulations and policies that govern interstate moves. More than 5662 household goods moving companies are registered with FMCSA. While the majority of movers are reputable, consumers need to be aware of how to avoid those who are not. Consumers can report unsafe and poor performing moving companies by calling FMCSA’s nationwide complaint hotline at 888-368-7238 (888 DOT-SAFT) or by visiting www. ProtectYourMove.gov.

Favorite culinary herbs by Dr. Leonard Perry, Extension Professor, University of Vermont Before our modern synthetic products were created, herbs were an important aspect of everyday living. They were used for many functions including dyes, medicines, room deodorizers, and of course cooking. It is these culinary uses that most people think of today when they think of herbs, and the most popular reason they are grown in home gardens. Most herbs in temperate climates are herbaceous, having non-woody stems, and dying back to the ground each fall. Many herbs are perennial, although some are annual. These may reseed, however, coming back the following year and so may give the false impression of being perennial. Most herbs need sun (over 6 hours a day) and a well-drained soil to grow best. Use fertilizer sparingly, if at all. Wellrotted manure or compost applied each spring may be all that is needed. Basil (Ocimum basilicum), an annual, is one of the most popular herbs. It grows one to two feet high. You can pinch the white or purple flow-
ers off to help make the plant branch. The different types of basils have various leaf sizes and colors, but generally the upright plants have purple or bright green leaves. The pungent fragrance enhances tomato sauces and dishes. Basil also can be made into a delicious pesto. One type of basil has a cute, small globeshaped form with tiny leaves, which is an excellent choice to use along a path or to edge a bed.
Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is another of the all-time favorite cooking herbs. If you grow only one herb, make it this one. Parsleys are popular in pots indoors on kitchen windowsills. Technically a tender biennial, it is grown as annuals from slow-to-germinate seeds. Parsley is the popular garnish on
plates in many restaurants and can be used in salads, soups, and other dishes. It also makes a nice edging to beds, with some selections having ruffled or curled leaves. Dill (Anethum graveolens) also makes the top three of favorite annual herbs. It is used as a flavoring and, of course, in pickles. Both the seeds and the feathery leaves are used for flavoring. This is a tall herb, growing two to four feet high, depending on selection. It could be used in the middle of borders for a fine texture. Place carefully, as it can self sow. Of the perennial herbs, a couple of tender ones with woody stems also are popular. Bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) has thick, aromatic, evergreen leaves. It makes an attractive container plant to overwinter indoors if room and a sunny window. The leaves can be dried and used to flavor soups, stews, and sauces. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) can be kept outdoors in summer in large pots, then brought indoors in winter into a bright yet cool location. It can be used not only as an aromatic, but also in cooking for
sauces, soups, teas, and for flavoring lamb. Mints (Mentha) are among the most common perennial herbs and should be sited with care as the roots are quite aggressive. To avoid this problem, plant in containers, keep well watered, and repot often to keep plants vigorous. Peppermint and spearmint are the most popular, but you also can plant other flavors such as apple and lemon mints. Mints are used medicinally, as well as in cooking to flavor tea, jelly, salads, candy, ice cream, and beverages. Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are familiar to most gardeners. They resemble and smell like
small onion plants and can be chopped and used to flavor salads, soups, and egg dishes. The pinkish purple flowers are attractive, especially if grown in a row along a walk, but make sure you cut off these flowers right after bloom. If you allow them to go to seed, you will have chives everywhere and forever! Thyme (Thymus) is the other main perennial herb that should be included in a culinary garden. Being a very low groundcover plant, thyme is suitable for rock gardens, planting between stones in walks and patios, and even for growing in low-mown lawns. There are many species and selections, some more ornamental than others either in flowers or foliage. Strongly scented thymes are used to flavor meats or in soups. Garden sage (Salvia officinalis), also a perennial, is the one of the many sages used in cooking. Others, such as the pineapple sage, are grown for their scented leaves or ornamental qualities. Garden sage is grown to a lesser extent than the herbs above, but is useful to flavor turkey, chicken, stuffing, and sausage.
Leaves of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) are used in teas and desserts. Another less common perennial herb, this one can spread by roots or seeds so place it carefully (or grow in a pot). It prefers a moist soil, and will tolerate some shade. Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum) with its spicy flavor, and the related marjoram (O. majorana) with its mild and sweeter flavor, are both good in casseroles, soups, stews, egg and meat dishes. Both these perennials are good, but less common, culinary herbs. Cilantro (Coriandrum) leaves have become popular recently for use in salsas and guacamole. Its seeds — coriander — are ground to use in desserts and baked goods, and dried to make curry powder. This annual can be a challenge in some gardens, and should be sown several times during the season for successive crops of leaves. More on herbs and their history can be found online from the National Garden Bureau (www.ngb.org) which has named 2012 as the Year of Herbs.

The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America’s birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as ‘Flag Birthday’. In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as ‘Flag Birthday’, or ‘Flag Day’. On June 14, 1889, George Balch, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, planned appropriate ceremonies for the children of his school, and his idea of observing Flag Day was later adopted by the State Board of Education of New York. On June 14, 1891, the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia held a Flag Day celebration, and on June 14 of the following year, the New York Society of the Sons of the Revolution, celebrated Flag Day. Following the suggestion of Colonel J Granville Leach (at the time historian of the Pennsylvania Society of the Sons of the Revolution), the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames of America on April 25, 1893 adopted a resolution requesting the mayor of Philadelphia and all others in authority and all private citizens to display the Flag on June 14th. Leach went on to recommend that thereafter the day be known as ‘Flag Day’, and on that day, school children be assembled for appropriate exercises, with each child being given a small Flag. Two weeks later on May 8th, the Board of Managers of the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution unanimously endorsed the action of the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames. As a result of the resolution, Dr. Edward Brooks, then Superintendent of Public Schools of Philadelphia, directed that Flag Day exercises be held on June 14, 1893 in Independence Square. School children were assembled, each carrying a small Flag, and patriotic songs were sung and addresses delivered. In 1894, the governor of New York directed that on June 14 the Flag be displayed on all public buildings. With BJ Cigrand and Leroy Van Horn as the moving spirits, the Illinois organization, known as the American Flag Day Association, was organized for the purpose of promoting the holding of Flag Day exercises. On June 14th, 1894, under the auspices of this association, the first general public school children’s celebration of Flag Day in Chicago was held in Douglas, Garfield, Humboldt, Lincoln, and Washington Parks, with more than 300,000 children participating. Adults, too, participated in patriotic programs. Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, delivered a 1914 Flag Day address in which he repeated words he said the flag had spoken to him that morning: “I am what you make me; nothing more. I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself.” Inspired by these three decades of state and local celebrations, Flag Day - the anniversary of the Flag Resolution of 1777 - was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. While Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson’s proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.

Planning for the Big Day! Wedding Health and Safety Tips Say, "I do" to your health! Follow these tips to help you plan a safe and healthy wedding and marriage. Eat healthy. Make healthy choices for your wedding, showers, parties, and new life together. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. Limit foods and drinks high in calories, sugar, salt, fat, and alcohol. Choose healthy snacks. Include healthy meals and snacks for your guests. Add seasonal fruit or vegetables, lowfat snacks, and low-calorie drinks or desserts. If you want to lose weight, eat smaller food portions, lower the amount of fat in your diet, and be active. Avoid crash dieting. Permanently improving your eating habits requires a thoughtful approach in which you Reflect, Replace, and Reinforce. • REFLECT on all of your specific eating
habits, both bad and good; and, your common triggers for unhealthy eating. • REPLACE your unhealthy eating habits with healthier ones. • REINFORCE your new, healthier eating habits. Meet with your doctor or nurse to talk about your best approach, especially if you have health problems. Be active. Be active for at least 2 1/2 hours a week. Include activities that raise your breathing and heart rates and that strengthen your muscles. You don’t have to do it all at once. Spread your activity out during the week, and break it into smaller chunks of time during the day. Getting to and staying at a healthy weight requires both regular physical activity and a healthy eating plan. Be smoke-free. Choose smoke-free venues for the wedding reception and other activ-
ities. Breathing in other people's smoke (secondhand smoke) causes health problems similar to those of smokers. Prepare for your new life together by quitting smoking. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits. Within 20 minutes after smoking that last cigarette, your body begins a series of positive changes that continue for years. Keep your home smokefree.
Prevent injury. Wear comfortable clothes that won’t adversely affect how you walk, stand, or dance. Make sure your shoes and clothes are fitted properly to prevent trips and falls. If you’re using candles at your wedding, ensure that they are placed properly so as not to burn anyone or set anything on fire. Place other decorations in such a way so as not to increase the risk
Manage stress. As you juggle wedding planning activities take steps to recognize and manage stress. If feeling stressed or overwhelmed don't be shy about asking and accepting help. Pay attention to your body. Early warning signs of stress include headache, sleep problems, difficulty concentrating, short temper, upset stomach, job dissatisfaction, and low morale. Talk to your doctor or nurse if you feel stressed or if you think you are losing control. Style with care. Trying something new for your wedding? Test any new hair dyes, relaxers, cosmetics, and skin products way before the wedding to make sure they don't cause problems such as itching, redness, rash, sneezing, or wheezing. Allergies may happen the first time a product is used or after multiple uses. Always test a product in a small area first. Follow all directions, cautions, and warnings on the label. Stop using the product if problems develop. Never dye eyebrows or eyelashes, as it might cause blindness. Remove makeup before bedtime to prevent skin and eye irritation.
of injury. If you’re hosting a party where alcohol will be served, remind your guests to plan ahead and designate their sober driver; offer alcohol-free beverages; and make sure all guests leave with a sober driver. Get a check-up. Check with your doctor or nurse to see what tests and exams you need based on your age, sex, and health history. Regular health exams and tests can help identify and prevent some problems before they start. They can also help find problems early, when your chances for treatment are better. Talk to your doctor or nurse about preconception care, sexually transmitted diseases, and your and your partner’s family health histories. Are there any issues that are of concern that both of you need to discuss with your health care provider? Are there any issues that can potentially cause health problems if you decide to have children? If you have a health problem, make sure you take steps to manage it. Don’t neglect your health while planning your wedding. Continue treatment
plans unless your doctor or nurse instructs you to do otherwise. Be sure to get any refills on prescription medications. Talk to your doctor or nurse if you have any questions. Get enough sleep. Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. How you feel and perform during the day is related to how much sleep you get the night before. If sleepiness interferes with your daily activities, more sleep each night will improve the quality of your waking hours. Build a healthy relationship. Establishing and maintaining a healthy relationship is important before and during marriage. Adults and children who experience a healthy marriage can benefit from better health, increased wealth and financial stability, and longer life expectancy. Determine if you have realistic expectations of what marriage will be like and what your and your partner’s roles are. Do you or your partner behave in ways that may not demonstrate a healthy relationship? Have you or your partner
verbally, emotionally, or physically abused the other? Are there things about your partner or relationship that make you uncomfortable? Several factors can increase the risk that someone will hurt his or her partner. Talk to your doctor, nurse, counselor, or someone else you trust if you need help. If you are a victim of intimate partner violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233). Travel safely. If you’re taking a cruise, know your ship’s recent inspection scores. If you're traveling internationally, make sure you have all the vaccinations required for that area. Always wear your seatbelt while riding in a motor vehicle. Protect yourself from sunburn, mosquitoes, and ticks. Make sure to check CDC travel notices for health precautions and outbreaks. Go green. Recycle all the magazines you used while preparing for the wedding. Consider using favors, utensils, decorations, and accessories that can be easily recycled or reused.
This time of year marks the migration of dining to the great outdoors — truly summer grilling and picnicking remain a great American passion.
orate picnic spread, preparing and eating food outdoors can present opportunities for foodborne illness to spread, noted Martin Bucknavage, ex-
you, your family and guests have a great outdoor dining experience.” Bucknavage cited a few common errors people make:
But do it wisely, urges a food-safety expert in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, and avoid common mistakes that make people sick every year. Whether you are just cooking burgers on the grill or laying out an elab-
tension food-safety specialist. “If you are not careful handling and preparing food outside, you can make a mistake that might result in people getting sick,” he said. “Just taking a few simple precautions will insure that
• Not using a thermometer to check if foods are properly cooked. “The most reliable way to see if a hamburger or piece of chicken is cooked is to use a thermometer,” he said. “Unfortunately, folks often rely on color to see if a burger is done, and this
will not work. “Each year, people get infected by E. coli or Salmonella because the food was not cooked to a temperature that kills these organisms.” First, buy a good digital thermometer. Then insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat to determine if it has reached the proper temperature. For hamburgers, cook to an internal temperature of at least 160 F; for chicken or other poultry, such as turkey, cook to an internal temperature of at least 165 F. • Not keeping food cold. When you go on a picnic, be sure to keep perishable foods cold, including sandwiches, sliced tomatoes, cut lettuce and sliced melons. When it is 80 or 90 degrees outside, bacteria can grow very rapidly. Put all perishable foods in a cooler with ice packs or bags of ice. “Staphylococcus aureus is one organism, if present, that will grow and produce a toxin causing you to become extremely ill,” Bucknavage explained. “By keeping foods at a temperature below 40°F, we can minimize potential issues.” • Not keeping raw and cooked foods separate. This one is vital but is often overlooked, Bucknavage warned. When packing a cooler, it is important to keep raw foods — especially raw meats — in a separate cooler from ready-to-eat foods (foods that will be eaten without
any further cooking). “Too often, we try to pack everything in one cooler, and the juices from the raw meats leak onto fruits, cans of soda or buns,” he said. “These raw meat juices often contain pathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli, and can cause infection when you consume foods or beverages that have become contaminated.” Along with this, keep utensils that have been used to handle raw meats separate from those used for ready-to-eat foods. • Not properly washing hands. “This one sounds obvious, but you’d be amazed at how often hands are a source of contamination in outdoor food preparation — if only
because it is sometimes difficult to find a place to thoroughly wash them using soap,” Bucknavage said. If you directly handle raw meats, or if your hands touch unclean surfaces, you must wash them before touching other foods or utensils. “So, be sure to have a means for washing hands if they become soiled, especially from handling raw meats,” he said. “If away from home, have a source of water available along with some soap. And don’t just count on antiseptic wipes.” While wipes can help, they cannot be counted on solely to remove the material that can harbor bacteria.

raspberries have health benefits. A fact I like is that they are easy and quick to pick, without much bending over. Other benefits of growing brambles are that they bloom late, so spring frosts seldom injure the flowers. They get few insects, which are easy to control, and by choosing virus-free plants and keeping wild brambles at a distance, they are relatively disease-free in home gardens. The term “brambles” comes from an ancient Old English word, dating back at least 800 years. Red raspberries (Rubus idaeus), though, were mentioned by the Greeks and Romans even earlier. “Rubus” means red, and “idaeus” means belonging to Ida. Legend has it that the nymph Ida pricked her finger while picking berries for Zeus while he was still a baby, staining the originally white berries red with her blood. Another story has it that Greek gods were believed to have brought raspberries from the sacred Mt. Ida in Turkey. In North America, red rasp-

berries were first cultivated in the mid-1700’s. The black raspberry is native, and has been cultivated only since the mid-1800s. Purple raspberries, hybrids of the red and black, came about shortly after that. Blackberries, although native to North America, weren’t cultivated here until that period as well, even though they had been taken back to Europe and cultivated there in the 1600s. Early settlers had viewed them as just wild and weedy. A main difference between raspberries
clyn’, both hardy to zone 3, and ‘Fall Red’ which is hardy to zone 4. Yellow raspberries generally are fall-bearing, and being rather delicate are seldom found in stores. For this reason they’re a great candidate for home gardens. There are not too many choices of these, a couple good ones hardy to at least zone 4 being ‘Anne’ and ‘Fall Gold’. The black raspberries (R. occidentalis) are called “black caps” in some areas. Not all people like the slightly
and blackberries is that when picked, the center of raspberry fruit is hollow — the core or “receptacle” stays on the plant. The central core remains inside picked blackberries. Red raspberries are by far the most common bramble, with the most cultivars. These come in two types. The summerbearing, or one crop, bear fruit in mid-summer on canes produced the previous year — “floricanes”. You’ll want to pay attention to cold hardiness on all brambles, as this varies with cultivar. Among the hardiest choices of one-crop red raspberries for zone 3 (30 to -40 degrees F in winter) are ‘Boyne’ and ‘Latham’. Hardy to zone 4 (-20 to -30) are the popular ‘Canby’ and ‘Taylor’. The fall-bearing, or two crop red raspberries, bear fruit in summer on floricanes and then again in fall on this year’s canes — “primocanes”. The two crop are sometimes seen as “everbearers”, although this isn’t the case. Among the good choices are ‘Heritage’ and ‘Ja-
musky aroma and flavor of their summer fruit. Unlike the red raspberries, these don’t spread rampantly underground producing suckers or new shoots. Instead, their tips fall over and root where they touch the soil. They’re also less hardy than red raspberries, a couple of the more common and hardy ones (to zone 4) being ‘Bristol’ and ‘Jewel’. Similar to the blacks are the purple raspberries, with even less suckering, relatively drought tolerant once established, and resistant to most pests and diseases. A couple of the more common and hardy selections to look for are ‘Brandywine’ and ‘Royalty’. Blackberries can be grouped into upright and trailing types, and ones with or without thorns. Upright ones grow from roots, similar to raspberries, as well as a central crown. The trailing ones have arching stems from a central crown. Although trailing ones may be seen as “dewberries”, this really refers to a separate species of trailing blackberry that tends to be
sweeter and grows in zones 5 to 9. The original native blackberries were thorny and upright, but aren’t seen much as harvesting with such thorns can be difficult. Roots of blackberries are generally hardy, but the hardiness of the tops varies. Often the upright with thorns are more hardy (USDA zone 6) than the upright thornless cultivars, although ‘Darrow’ is hardy to zone 4. Both ‘Illini’ and ‘Kiowa’ are hardy to zone 5, and have a long harvest season. ‘Arapaho’ is less hardy (zone 6) but has no thorns. The Prime series from Arkansas fruits on first year canes (primocane), with PrimeJan listed as hardy to zone 4. The trailing cultivars, particularly the thornless ones, are generally less hardy although ‘Chester’ and ‘Triple Crown’ are listed as hardy to zone 5. Both are good selections, semi-upright, and thornless. Once you’ve chosen your brambles, plant in a well-drained soil in full sun. Space 2-feet apart in rows (farther apart for trailing blackberries). Rows should be about 6feet apart for raspberries, and perhaps 10-feet apart for blackberries. Often trailing blackberries need cross pollination between cultivars in order to fruit (so buy more than one), but most brambles are self-fertile and will produce fruit just with the aid of bees (so you can have just one cultivar). Water well for the first few weeks, if little rain, until plants are established. If you have fertile soil you may only need compost at planting. Testing the soil with kits from your local Extension office will yield results on how much fertilizer and lime, if any, to add. Otherwise, use about 2 to 3 pounds of a low analysis, organic fertilizer such as 5-3-4 per 100 linear feet of row. Apply this again about a month after planting. More on choosing brambles and their culture, more cultivars, and lesser known ones such as the loganberry or boysenberry, can be found online (homefruitgrowing.info) or from the Fruit Gardener’s Bible by Lewis Hill and Leonard Perry.
