Solve The Puzzle For A Chance To Win...10Mid-Summer Fun… Section II
By Marcia Amidon Lusted
Most people only have a vague idea of what the word “hyperbaric” means, and even less of an idea about how it relates to fitness. But Joe Mabe, who is the builder and owner of Hyperbaric Fitness in Swanzey, has adapted hy-perbaric technology and used it to help people with a variety of conditions from Lyme Disease to cancer, as well as simply a general sense of detoxification and well-being.
Mabe is quick to say that he is a diver, not a doctor, and that medical issues should always be treated with a doctor’s care. But he has used his expe-rience as a scuba diver to recreate the “diver’s rush” sensation of well-being that many divers feel when they dive below 35 feet. “It’s like scuba diving without the water,” he says, and at a
cost much more reasonable than the costs of training, equipment, and travel required for real scuba diving. Hyper-baric Fitness provides people with a safe, ready-made environment where they can experience all the physiologi-cal benefits of scuba-diving without going to the ocean, and at a reasonable cost. Clients walk into a large, comfort-ably outfitted, and brightly lit tank. The tank is also wheelchair accessible, and can also accommodate eight people at a time. Clients sit for about an hour as the tank pressurizes, talking or read-ing or simply relaxing. It simulates the atmospheric change of an ocean dive to 52 feet below the surface, which Mabe has found to be the perfect place for healing the body, detoxing, and reen-ergizing. After the tank depressurizes and the tank regains normal pressure, clients simply exit.

Soapstone has been quarried for thousands of years. Native Americans in eastern North America used the soft rock to make bowls, cooking slabs, smoking pipes, and ornaments 3,000 to 5,000 years ago. Scandinavian people, from the Stone Age into the Bronze Age, discovered the ability of soapstone to absorb heat and radiate it slowly. They used it to make cooking pots and slabs, bowls, and hearth liners.
Today soapstone is available in a variety of cookware and other kitchen items. Its collective properties make it ideal for cooking. It’s nonporous, nonabsorbent, is resistant to acids and alkalis, and most importantly, it doesn’t burn or melt at wood-burning temperatures and has the ability to absorb heat, hold heat, and radiate heat.
Joseph’s Coat in Peterborough has a selection of soapstone ware from the Brazilian Home Collection. There are soapstone pots with lids, baked brie pan, round soapstone crepe and rectangular grills, baking trays in three sizes, a and a soapstone double warmer with tray, and two Sterno holders. These pieces are fitted with copper trim and handles, can be used on the stove, in the oven, or even on the outdoor grill. The grills are perfect for cooking this way.
The collection includes companion pieces like soapstone beer glasses, shot glasses, tea/coffee cups, and mortar and pestle. Any item from this soapstone collection will bring long-lasting satisfaction to any-one who loves to cook.
Joseph’s Coat will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday through Sunday, during the month of July, including July 4th. The shop is located at 32 Grove Street in Peterborough. For more details, call 603-924-6683 or visit www.jocoat.com.
Francoise Bourdon, owner of Joseph’s Coat, shows a soapstone cooking pot with lid from the Brazilian Home Collection that the shop carries. Bourdon cooks with this pot at home.
St. James Episcopal Church has made the difficult decision not to re-open the St. James Thrift Shop at 25 Lamson Street. The thrift shop has been a beloved institution in downtown Keene since the 1960s, pro-viding high quality used clothing and housewares at an affordable price. The shop was bright and wel-coming, and provided a sense of caring community to many of its “regulars.” It did a brisk business and
raised significant funds for dozens of local charities. Shoppers could view the list of the many organiza-tions supported by the shop posted at the check-out counter. Until recently, St. James Thrift Shop ran al-most entirely on volunteer time and energy, and many women of St. James poured their hearts and souls into this ministry of compassion for those in need.
