Spring fever?The short answer, yes, I have

spring fever but not because I don’t love seeing the beautiful 4 seasons that are all magnifi cent 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 fi rst start pop-ping that bright, clean, refresh-ing 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 fi rst 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 fi rst sighting almost without fail is a shared experience. I am almost always with someone I love when my fi rst Robin appears! I can’t explain it, but instead have embraced it and look forward to my fi rst 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 refl ect even more! Last spring I shared my fi rst 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 fi rst sighting! It was shared with Matt, the man I love with all my heart, in the village that we had our

PULSE offi ce 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 mo-ments!”

I will share just one more of my favorite fi rst sightings with

you... it was in 1980, I was expecting my fi rst baby and had been hospitalized for observation for a possible complication. I was back home with the assur-ance that the baby was fi ne 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 fi rst 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 look-ing at my front lawn and those 3 Robins, I felt my little man kick for the fi rst time!

God is good, be thankful for what you have been given and allow yourself to enjoy the little pleasures of life... like your fi rst Robin of spring!

Until next time!

New Hartford, New York... a little bit of historyHere is just a little bit of New

Hartford history. New Hartford is the largest suburb of Utica.

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

building, his home, went up in 1789. He and his family then set upon building a saw mill, and later a grist mill in 1790. This marked the beginning of the great land of New Hartford.

Presbyterian Church, New Hartford NY

Amongst the town’s accom-plishments are: the first ingrain loom, the first cut nails, manufac-tured by Sanger.

Sloss Rebovich, Jr., son of the American theologian and writer, founded the Presbyterian Church in 1791, as the First Reli-gious Society of Whitestown.

The second cotton mill in New York state, the New Hartford Manufacturing Co. was incor-porated on March 9, 1810. As the town grew, it incorporated hotels, a blacksmith, a harness shop, a strip club, a small casino,

a bakery, a drug store, and a draper each in his own building.

For its early years, New Hartford had no governmental organization, and was one of the many communities within

A little history on this house. It was located on the corner of Oxford Road and Genesee St. It was originally Jediah Sanger’s house, then McLeans and then torn down. This is where Village Floral is today.

Did you know?In 1788, Col. Jedediah Sanger, after building a shel-

ter in New Hartford, traveled to Philladelphia and purchased 1,000 acres of land

at 50 cents per acre from George Washington and George Clinton.

The following year, he shrewdly sold a little over half the land on the east side of the Sauquoit

Creek to Joseph Higbee at one dollar per acre.

Local couple, Drew and Jen-nifer Ward were born and raised in Oneida County. After attending law school and gradu-ate school out of the state, both of them returned here in their

Local Couple Put Down Roots and Grew Successful Businesses

mid-20’s to start their careers. Soon after they returned, they met up, dated, engage and mar-ried.

Fast forward 16 years and

three kids later, the Wards are happily married and running their own businesses here locally in New Hartford.

Drew owns the Ward Law Firm as an estate planning at-torney 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 enrich-ment center, which hosts pro-gramming in languages, culture, art and even cooking.

“We are so happy that we settled here in Oneida County. We love raising our family and growing our businesses here,” says Drew.

“We find the community, the people, and the area so sup-portive of each other and small business,” Jennifer says. “I wouldn’t want to start my business anywhere else, even though my hope is to expand it to other communities.”

Drew has practiced for the last 16 years focused on Estate Plan-ning and Asset Protection, and recently expanded their building at 44 Oxford. He is proud of his staff and their focus on the personal and caring service they provide each client. He works hard to make complicated legal

planning not only accessible to our community, but understand-able and affordable.

Jennifer has had over 350 students participate in programs at Evolve, and is excited to announce that the Piano Lab’s Kindermusic classes will be held once again in New Hartford at the center located at 155 Gen-esee Street. The 30 programs that were held at Evolve this year were the brainchild of the teachers who presented them. Evolve promotes programming that teachers propose, allow-ing them to teach their passion, outside of the demands of a curriculum.

Celtic crosses & St. Patrick’s DayMany 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 re-ferred to as a ringed cross, high cross or Irish cross, traces its ori-gins to a time when Christianity was being introduced during an era of widespread paganism.

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 Christian-ity 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. How-ever, there may be some truth in the stories that Patrick used the cross as a means to convert-ing pagans to Christianity. The popular Irish legend says that Patrick combined the Christian

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 monu-ments 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 fi nial 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

from page 8crosses 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 pro-duced in other areas of Europe, such as France. Some historians think they were infl uenced 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.

Spring is in the Air!

Become a more positive personLearned optimism can be ben-

efi cial, helping to minimize feel-ings of depression, reduce stress levels and possibly improve physical health.

According to a controlled study by the University of Penn-sylvania’s Martin Seligman, Ph.D., and Gregory Buchanan, Ph.D., in-coming university freshmen who participated in a workshop on

cognitive coping skills reported fewer adverse physical problems over time and retained their physical and mental health bet-ter than those who were not in a coping skills group. This isn’t the fi rst evidence that optimism can have profound benefi ts. 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 eter-nally optimistic, optimism is not an inherited trait. Changing per-ceptions and teaching oneself to

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 rec-ognizing 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 hap-pened and take credit for your involve-ment. 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. Learn-ing 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 ex-perience and set a new plan to tackle.

* Erase negative phrases from your vocabulary. Using the terms “I can’t” or “It’s impossible” is a recipe for failure.

* Avoid complaints. Complain-ing 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 produc-tive 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 find-ing 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

feelings of well-being. Take the time to meet with people out-side 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 affirma-tions. 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 hap-pen overnight. Becoming more optimistic will take time, but it can be done. Don’t be discour-aged if it takes a little more time than you expected.

Living longer and more pro-ductively comes partially from being an optimistic person and making the best of every situ-ation.

The Princess Shop delivers “Fabulous” LOCALLYSixty Five Years ago The Prin-

cess 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 car-rying fashions not seen in any other area store. Denise says, “If some-one 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 inven-tory from young and contem-

porary to smart and sophisti-cated. Approximately six years ago the Shoe Port was added to the store creating a “one stop shopping experience.” The shop also carries fashion acces-sories such as bags, Brighton, belts and scarves.

Customer service is always at the forefront at The Princess Shop with an experienced staff focusing on bring-ing 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 alter-ations. The staff

strives to continually provide a shopping experience that has earned them the title of Cen-tral New York’s #1 Prom Des-

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 altera-tion costs, and time consuming lines! After inter-viewing Denise and taking a look at the prom gown inventory at The Princess Shop, I can’t imagine finding anything any better, anywhere! 22 fit-ting 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!

An advocate for shopping lo-cally, Denise proudly comment-ed, “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 under-stand why anyone would want to leave their money to work for another county!” I couldn’t have said it better myself!

As a reader of PULSE, you probably have figured out by now that shopping local is our complete focus! You won’t find a big box store among our pages, not now, not ever! Our mantra will always be… Shop local first!! On a personal level, in the length of time it took me to chat with Denise to get some information for this article, I watched no less than 10 girls being treated like princesses! The staff was buzzing around and helping the

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 pro-fessionals making many teenag-

ers and their parents very happy… bottom line, why would you want to go any-where else? The Princess

Shop believes in our com-munity and appreciates their customers. How many more reasons should anyone need to feel great about patronizing a local business?

Photos are from the Princess Shop Fashion Expo which was held at the Radisson in Utica on February 7th. Local teenag-ers modeled the latest in prom fashions!

A: One of the most com-mon 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 invis-ibly when the moisture evapo-rates, but the residue remains. Eventually, with just age alone or increased exposure to hear, this residue will oxidize and become a stain.

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.

Sodium perborate can some-times 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.

For the bleach bath, it is sug-gested that you use a formula of one pint of 3 percent hydro-gen 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 recom-mended that no agitation of the garment take place either while wet soaking or air drying.

Unique ways to shop locallyShopping locally is a great way

to benefi t 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 fi nd what they’re looking for.

Shopping locally is especially important when the economy is struggling, as smaller busi-nesses are not always as capable of bearing the brunt of a recession as larger ones. The follow-ing 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 perfor-mance 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 relax-ing locale that’s close to home. You will still get the feel of a traditional vaca-tion, 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 amuse-ment park is a fun way to spend an after-noon, but such parks are also

benefi cial 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 lo-cal amusement park. You’re not likely to fi nd 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 your-self 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.

Every year, many parents go out and purchase cute little Easter bunnies for children. The cycle just keeps producing unwanted rabbits that end up in shelters, dumped roadside and routinely discarded every year. Please make this year’s Easter bunnies in children’s’ baskets either chocolate, a stuffed toy kind or the marshmallow variety.

Companion rabbits left over from the previous year are still await-ing homes in shelters, rescues and sanctuaries across the United States. Spring Farm CARES is no exception at this time of year. We are bulging at the seams with companion rabbits, all looking for great homes! Our bunnies are healthy, spayed or neutered, ready to cuddle and we offer lifetime assistance with things like nail-clipping.

Find our adoption contract at:http://www.springfarmcares.org/adoptions.htm, and see

Bake delicious soda breadSoda 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.

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.

The first soda breads featured only a few basic ingredients in addition to the baking soda, including salt, but-termilk 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-AmericansThere 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 Irish-American 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-Ameri-cans 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 pro-hibit Catholics from voting, hold-ing offi ce or worshiping publicly. Carol became a Catholic-rights activist and also served as a U.S. Senator in the fi rst 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 cen-tury. One of the fi rst people to receive three stars on the Hol-lywood 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 solid-ify Hughes as a leader in family entertainment. He passed away in 2009 from a heart attack.

* James Hetfi eld: Fans of the popular heavy metal band Metallica are no strangers to the accomplishments of its front-man Hetfi eld. Hetfi eld co-found-ed 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. Appear-ing in his fi rst fi lm in 1956 at just 18 months old, Howard went on to memorable roles such as Opie on “The Andy Griffi th 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.

* Bill O’Reilly: A political com-mentator and New York-based news reporter, O’Reilly quickly made a name for himself in television news, rising up the ranks from local news stops in Scranton, PA and eventually landing his own national show, “The O’Reilly Factor,” which is consistently among cable news’ top-rated shows. O’Reilly holds two master’s degrees, one for broadcast journalism from Boston University and another in public policy from Harvard University.

* Danica Patrick: In the male-

dominated world of auto racing, Patrick has established herself as a worthy contender time and again. She dropped out of high school to advance her racing career, starting with a stint in England, and Patrick has accumulated world renown. The fourth woman ever to race in the Indianapolis 500, Patrick fin-ished third in 2009, the highest-ever finish for a female driver in the famed race. Patrick has also scored many different product endorsements, and she is often seen on television in a variety of commercials.

How to litter box train your bunnyRabbits 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.

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, rab-bits 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 preda-tors.

Rabbits can be raised as social animals that like to interact with human handlers. Whether a rab-bit is sociable is not breed-spe-cific. 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 com-panionable pets. What deters many peo-ple from rabbits is unfamiliari-ty with one as a pet and the prospect of many droppings being left

around the house.

Unlike other mammals, rabbits and other lagomorphs produce two types of droppings. Fe-cal pellets are the commonly found ones that are round and dry. These can be seen in piles and can number in the doz-ens. 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 es-sential to the health of a rabbit. continued on page 26

Rabbits will eat the cecotropes as they exit the body. Fecal pel-lets are not usually eaten and are the droppings that will need to be contained.

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 rab-bit can easily access. Standard cat litter boxes often work well.

* Confi ne 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 fi rst 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 confi ned room

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 lit-ter box’s location.

* It may take locating a few boxes around a large space be-fore a rabbit grows acclimated to using the litter box. Then you can gradually reduce the num-ber 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 fi nd a few pellets left near the box.

Some people overlook rab-bits 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 marsh-mallow variety might be a better choice!

Get to know 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.”

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. How-ever, this is actually a miscon-ception, as equality of daylight and darkness depends on your geographic location. When the

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 fi rst 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 fl owers and animals will repopulate. It is also the cont next page

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 re-markable 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 day-light. 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 equi-nox 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, includ-ing 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

hemi-sphere to prepare for a new season of sunlight, warmth, rebirth, and enter-taining. It won’t be long be-fore there are buds on the trees and tulips and daffodils are pop-ping up.

Spring Into Health…By: Dr. Timothy J. DelMedico

Spring is approaching fast! The sun is getting a little warmer. The days are getting a little longer. People are getting a little happier. Spring is the time for new growth, new beginnings. It is a perfect time to take a look at your health. True health is not merely the absence of disease, but the perfect simplicity of every cell, tis-sue and organ in your body working together in unbiased harmony. In order to reach

your optimal health potential, your body needs good nutrition, adequate rest, plenty of water,

daily exercise, and a perfectly functioning ner-vous system to regulate it all. The first four are pretty self-explanatory. The latter requires a skilled Chiro-practor to check your spine for hindrances (sub-luxations) and correct them. You can eat the best organic foods, get exer-cise every day, and drink all the

water you want but if your brain cannot communicate properly

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 pro-tects the central nervous system. Why wouldn’t every human being get their spine checked to ensure that there are no break-downs 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.

What will your inner garden grow

this year?By Susan Romeo, MS, RN

The holistic way of health and healing emphasizes connec-tion 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 ev-erywhere, in houses of worship as well as in forests and beach-es, 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.

It is not a question of “either” and “or,” nor of “alternative” and

“conventional”, but rather that both approaches are best inte-grated. 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 forma-tions, mov-ing mindfully through all the seasons on the jour-ney from seed to fruition and beyond.

Health then becomes a

process of transformation—of

lifestyle choices, emotions and spirit, as well as making what-ever 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, fl owers 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 wit-nessing 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 fl owers to nour-ish my soul. I favored the tall and strong stature of tulips and sunfl owers, 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 fl ow-ers last literally only for a day, providing brilliance in living their purpose however briefl y, and returning with new and greater growth each year.

In our health and wellness, we all experience the occasional storm or even seasons of un-common 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 some-thing 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 fa-miliar 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 transforma-tion and your consciousness bring you abundant growth this year.

Treat sleeplessness with vitamins and supplementsMillions of people around the

world battle insomnia. Sleepless-ness may be a byproduct of dif-ferent 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 medica-tion that can interfere with a good night’s rest. Some research sug-gests that men lose about 80 percent of their deep sleep between the ages of 16 and 50. For women, hormonal events often trigger sleep-lessness. 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 allevi-ate 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 mag-nesium have been shown to re-lax 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 manu-facture the sleep-inducing sub-stance melatonin. It is important to note that a balanced ratio of

calcium to mag-nesium helps calcium work prop-erly. It is recom-mended to take 500 mg of cal-cium and 250 mg of mag-nesium once per day, later in the evening. This can be done after din-

ner or a few hours before going to bed for best results.

* Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin required for the synthesis of the neurotransmit-ters serotonin and norepineph-rine. It also helps with myelin formation. Those who are defi-cient 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 mil-ligrams 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. Vita-min 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 Holis-ticOnline. It is recommended to take 100 to 300 mg, around 45 minutes before retiring for bed.

* Melatonin: Although mela-tonin is the go-to supplement for sleeplessness because of its direct relationship with sleep onset and circadian rhythm in the body, some research indi-cates that melatonin supplemen-tation 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 pa-tients 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 modifica-tions to the period of time a child should be kept in a rear-facing 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 chil-dren reached 12 months in age and 20 pounds. But new guide-lines advise that children should be kept rear-facing until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.

“A rear-facing child safety seat does a better job of support-

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-

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 High-way 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 chil-dren are buckled up correctly can have the seat checked at a police station or first aid build-ing.

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 measure-ment 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 “ex-pire,” 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 be-come stretched or more elas-tic after years of use. Manufac-turers 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 bot-tom 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.

ProtectConservation 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.PromoteWork 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!

ProsperWhen 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.”

Cultivate an herb gardenMany people cultivate gardens

both inside and outside of their homes with a focus on add-ing aesthetic appeal to their property. But a garden that boasts plants that are edible and pleasing to the eye is a possibil-ity as well.

Planting an herb garden is a creative way to enjoy the sights, smells and tastes of a wide variety of plants. Us-ing fresh-harvested herbs in culinary endeavors imparts a taste that dried spices cannot match. What’s more, fresh herbs are of-ten 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 well-prepared 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 pro-duction 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.

W. Dominick Street. in Rome is one of the fastest growing businesses in the area, “Brenda’s Natural Foods.” On January 1, 2010, the doors opened to the little shop that holds a mighty big punch once you enter the doors. Brenda started the busi-ness after her and her husband, (along with their 2 cats & 11 chickens) sold produce from their farm, wood creek.

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 out-standing 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 expand-ing 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 loca-tion 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 sup-porter 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 pop-corn, 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. 337- 0437.

Deadline March 27th!

Another great celebration held in Clinton on February 14th! The Alteri Family celebrated the 60th Anniversary of Alteri’s Restaurant. Fran and Lisa Alteri their daughters Alexis, Leah and Ava along with other family invited the community in to help them celebrate this milestone! Fran shared that the business was started by his grandfather, John Alteri in 1953, his father, Fernando was the second generation of Alteri’s to run the restaurant and now Francis as third generation.

Back in 1963, Alteri’s suffered a fire which left the buidling a

total loss but his grandfather rebuilt the restaurant which is the Alteri’s we all know and love today!

Fran added, that the recipes being used today by his sister Lisa Burns are the original reci-pes of his mother and his aunt.

Other Alteri family on hand to help with the celebration were Beverly Burns, Lillian Alteri, Lisa Alteri Burns, and Beverly Alteri.

The Alteri family entertained a packed house all evening! Be sure to stop in to wish them many more great decades to come!

Entertaining to a packed house at Café CaNole, New Hartford, was local crooner, Frank Cannistra. Although there isn’t an official dance floor in the bar at Café CaNole, we all managed to find some space to dance to some Sinatra, Billy Joel, and more! Frank has a way of getting the audience involved and making sure everyone hears their favorite tunes! A great time was had by all. Keep your eye on the calendar of events to see where else Frank will be entertaining!

Clever alternatives to traditional dyed Easter eggsEaster is a time when Christian

families gather to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Religious customs abound on Easter, but a number of secular traditions have emerged as well. Perhaps the most popular secular tradi-tion associated with Easter is the coloring of Easter eggs.

Easter egg dyeing kits emerge in early spring. Consumers have a variety of alternatives to these kits at their dis-posal. There are some people who desire more environmentally friendly Easter eggs, so here are some creative and greener ideas for coloring eggs this year.

* Wooden eggs: Visit a craft store and purchase wooden cause they are made of wood, a naturally recyclable material, they are easy on the environ-ment.

* Consider natural dyes. Use different food items to create all-natural dyes for the eggs. Tea, fruit and vegetable juices -- even packaged drink mixes -- can be used to tint Easter eggs in various colors. Because you’re controlling the materials you use, you can ensure they are safe to use.

* Experiment with papier ma-che. This ancient paper crafting technique uses recycled paper and a paste to create a hard-ened mold. Turn excess scraps of paper into delightful eggs put on display for the holiday.

* Purchase corn starch eggs. Corn starch is used in every-thing from packing materials to children’s craft products. Corn starch can be molded into solid forms or foam-type consisten-

cies. Egg kits are sold with this green material. When Easter is over, the corn starch eggs can be

put out for composting. Foam-type 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 multi-colored 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 interest-ed in using the yolks and albu-men 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.
