The Fabulous Beekman Boys Kick Off the Rubber Ducky Race

Trout PowerJune 7-8-9 West Cananda Creek

Spring brings so many beauti-ful things back into our lives! The smell of freshly mowed grass and fl owers, the sound of bees, birds and gentle rain, the color green! It is such a great time of year. Everywhere you look you see the evidence of renewed life after the long dormant winter. I absolutely love that fi rst green you see as the trees start to bud out... that electric neon color that glows in the morning sunlight. Its my favorite color of spring!

This time of year we are all heading into our yards to clean up after the long winter, picking up branches and twigs, raking up leaves and preparing our fl ower beds and vegetable & herb gardens. Its time to go out and buy our supplies! Time to fi ll our containers with annuals to add color to our porches and patios... I LOVE this time of year!

As an advocate for shopping lo-cal, I have to take a minute to ask you to consider spending your money in one of our wonderful locally owned garden centers... you will fi nd them to be more than just a source for your plants and other garden needs. You will fi nd them to be warm and wel-coming, very knowledgeable and helpful. You’ll fi nd healthy, happy blooms that have been nurtured through the winter months and are now ready in all their glory for your porch! Great vegetable plants being grown for your back yard... and ... most of our local garden centers grow pesticide-free! I like the thought of that. You will fi nd plants that have never been thirsty, that are pruned and dead-headed and kept healthy and maintained with love!

Supporting our local shops re-ally contributes to a healthy local economy. I want to do my part and I hope you feel the same way. You will fi nd some great garden centers and landscapers in this issue of PULSE. Consider sup-porting them rather than the big box store with a seasonal garden department. Support the locally owned, because in reality you are supporting your neighbors!

Outdoor events!!!! Another great

sign of this wonderful season! This month we feature TROUT POWER! You will fi nd the infor-mation about this great annual event on pages 38-42. Be sure to read up on all the activities that will surround the Catch and Release Trout Tournament that will bring teams into our area from all over the country. A family weekend with something for everyone to enjoy.

Brent and Josh of the Fabulous Beekman Boys and winners of the Amazing Race will be on hand for the Rubber Ducky Race on Sunday sponsored by The Adirondack Cheese Company. Get your ducky and join the fun! This is one of those special occa-sions where we get to take our kids and grand kids out for fun and slip in some great education at the same time! If you’re not familiar with the concept behind TROUT POWER do yourself a favor and read up on it in this issue of your PULSE and then log onto TroutPower.com for up to the minute details as they are added between now and the big weekend! Look ahead to your June calendar and save the 7th, 8th and 9th for TROUT POWER.!

I hope you get to take advan-tage of the many upcoming outdoor activities our beautiful area has to offer... get out there and enjoy this beautiful time of year and all that comes with it! Many of our local restaurants are announcing their outdoor patio and porch seating is now open for the season and I also noticed summer salads and our favorite seasonal dishes are back on the menus! Sylvan Beach announced its opening day, bathing suits are everywhere you look, as is sunscreen, sunglasses and beach towels. Pools will be opening this month, patio furniture will be coming out of storage... oh yes, I LOVE this time of year!

Until next month, I wish you lots of love and sunshine!

Benefi ts to hiring a landscaping serviceThe desire to have a pristine,

well-manicured landscape leads many homeowners to toil out-doors for hours every weekend. Hiring a professional landscaper can free up homeowners’ time and help them ensure their yards are cared for properly.

One of the benefi ts of hiring a landscaper is the time savings. Landscapers typically have com-mercial-grade equipment that can dramatically reduce the time it takes to mow and perform other main-tenance tasks around your property. Furthermore, some services have multiple employees working con-currently, enabling them to tackle several projects at the same time and complete them in a frac-tion of the time it would take a homeowner working on his or her own.

Landscapers familiar with botany and landscape design understand how to properly care for plants and trees on your property, while novice green thumbers may be unaware about when to prune trees and shrubs, at what height to cut the lawn and which plants will thrive in particular locations. Such do-it-yourself maintenance may even cost more money than leaving it to a professional.

Hiring a professional land-scaper is, in many instances, more economical. For a certain weekly or monthly fee, homeowners receive the benefi t of profes-sional knowledge and execution.

Also, homeowners will not have the expense of purchasing the various tools and equipment necessary for lawn and garden maintenance, tools and equip-ment that include lawnmowers, string weeders, edgers, fertilizer, grass seed, leaf blowers, and shovels.

Another benefi t is the lawn will continue to be mowed whether a homeowner is home or not. Dur-ing the spring and summer vaca-

tion season, it’s easy for homeowners to overlook their lawn and garden in favor of rec-reation and leisure activi-ties. Without proper

watering and maintenance, lawns and gardens can brown or over-growth can occur. But hiring a landscaping service allows home-owners to rest assured that their yards will be maintained whether they’re home or not.

Hiring a local landscaping service will not only benefi t homeown-ers, but also it will benefi t the local economy. Residents can feel comfortable knowing their lawn service will be available for calls when needed and will be familiar with the community. Also, local contractors may go the extra mile to earn your business recommendation.

Hiring a landscaping service can be advantageous to homeown-ers who want to free up time and still enjoy a well-maintained landscape.

A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful

watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.

Did you know? When people think of outdoor storage, they generally envision garden sheds to house their lawn and garden equipment and tools.

However, if space doesn’t allow for a large shed, there is no need to fret because there are other storage possibilities. Consider a garden ottoman or bench, for ex-ample. This structure can be built from wood and then painted or covered in padded fabric. Store small items inside the ottoman, which can also serve as a table or additional seating. In addition to an ottoman, a garden tool that can keep shovels and rakes organized.

Homeowners with a deck can construct lidded deck boxes to store patio cushions or any other outdoor equipment. Utilizing the space under the deck is another idea. Cover the perimeter of

the bottom of the deck with lattice and install one piece on a hinge to serve as a door. Store equipment underneath and out of sight. It also will be protected from the elements.

Grills, Grills Everywhere ... how do I choose?Choosing your grill should

start with thinking about how you want to cook for family and friends.

What is your favorite grilled food?

If hamburgers, hotdogs and the occasional steak are as far as you get, there is a wide range of basic gas and charcoal grills to choose from. However, an HPBA survey shows that 68 percent of grillers see themselves as “better than average or extremely proficient at grilling.” So if you don’t want to be running in and out of the kitchen when you could have everything you need happening at the grill, consider a grill with more than 2 burners, precise heat control and a side and rotisserie burner.

How many people are you grilling for?

The cooking surface on grills can range from 250 to 1,000 square inches. Grilling for between four and eight people and occasional crowds of 12, you should have 500 square inches or more. If you’re preparing a feast on a regular basis, look for a grill that is equipped with two separate cooking surfaces (typically a larger cookbox at 725 square inches and smaller at 275 square inches). In addition to cooking surface, look for the depth of cookbox allowing you to put a turkey or large roast on the grill.

What are the burners like?

Check out the burners and understand what they are made of, and how are they shaped. Dual Tube style burners, and ‘H’- or ‘8’-shaped burners, offer the most even heat distribution and

excellent performance. Is there something covering the burners to protect them and dissipate the heat? (Typically called the heat medium.) A well-designed grill will have a stainless or porcelain-coated steel “Wave-shaped” va-porizer completely covering the burners. The vaporization of food drippings creates that authentic barbecue flavor you’re looking for, so this is an important feature.

What are the cooking grids made of?

Look for cast iron or stain-less steel. These cooking

grids should be heavy enough to retain heat, create steakhouse style sear marks and

vaporize food drippings

right at the grids,

adding to the barbecue flavor

of what you are cooking.

Where is the grill made?

Make sure you can readily ac-cess customer service and parts support for your grill. The North American manufacturers offer this support direct from Cana-dian and U.S.-based factories.

Is it available in propane or natural gas? Have a professional install any conversion kits. How much storage and preparation space is available? Are there cov-ers to fit? What accessories are available to enhance the grilling experience even more?

It will never rain roses: when we want

to have more roses we must plant more trees.

Safety tips for outdoor enthusiastsOutdoor enthusiasts typically

cannot wait to get outside and make the most of a beautiful day. But in their haste to enjoy the great outdoors, men and women can easily overlook safety precau-tions that protect them from potential hazards.

Though it’s easy to get excited about a sunny day, it’s important for outdoor enthusiasts to take safety seriously. No matter your activity, always bring adequate sunscreen to protect your skin

from the sun, and remember to bring enough water to stay hy-drated throughout the day. In ad-dition to packing sunscreen and water, outdoor enthusiasts can employ various additional safety methods depending on which activity they choose to enjoy.

Cycling

Cyclists must always be on alert for those with whom they are sharing the road. While many motorists respect cyclists, there

are some who see cyclists as a nuisance, and such motorists may drive recklessly around cyclists in an attempt to scare them off the road. Cyclists are oftentimes at the mercy of motorists, so it pays to stay as attentive as possible. Never listen to an MP3 player or another music player while

riding a bike. Such a distraction could prove deadly if it takes your attention away from the road. Alertness is important when cycling, as are the following pre-cautionary measures:

* Always wear a helmet and reflective clothing that makes it easy for motorists to see you.

* Obey the traffic laws.

* Always ride with traffic.

* Inspect your bicycle and address any mechanical issues before each ride.

Hiking

When the weather permits, few activities combine the benefits of physical activity with the aesthetic appeal of nature as well as hiking does. Hikers should never hike on poorly developed trails or trails that are too difficult for them to handle, and they should have at least a basic understanding of the symptoms of altitude sickness. Always share your route with friends or family members before embarking on a hiking trip. This protects you if you should get lost or injured and you need a rescue team to find you. Hikers should also pack the following supplies before hitting the trails:

Water sports

Water attracts the sun, so it’s imperative that anyone plan-ning to spend ample time on or around the water take steps to protect their skin. Wear appropri-ate clothing and apply sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor of 15.

Never take to the water after you have consumed alcohol. Alcohol can dull your senses, making you less likely to recog-nize a dangerous situation should one present itself.

If you plan on entering the water, always enter feet fi rst and do your best to avoid swimming alone. When you employ the buddy system while swimming, you are ensuring there is some-one there to help you should you begin to struggle or to alert lifeguards or other safety person-nel should something go awry.

If you to plan to fi sh on a boat, let your loved ones staying behind on land know where you plan to fi sh so they can share this information with authorities if your boat has problems or you don’t return on time. While on the boat, always wear a fl otation device and make sure the boat is not running as you board and dismount.

The great outdoors can be enjoyed throughout the year. But outdoor enthusiasts will have a much better time if they take the necessary steps to reduce their risk of injury.

and skateboarding are popular activities for adults and children alike. But even though you may associate such activities with your childhood, that does not mean the risk of injury is insignifi cant. In fact, even seasoned skateboard-ers and veteran inline skaters have suffered broken bones or head injuries while skateboarding or skating. Proper attire is essen-tial for skaters and skateboard-ers hoping to prevent injury, so be sure to wear the following gear the next time you hit the half-pipe or go skating by the boardwalk:

Plant a self-sustaining gardenGardening is a rewarding hobby

with thousands of devotees. Backyard gardens provide beauty and aesthetic appeal to a land-scape, and they can be a source of homegrown food and a natu-ral habitat for outdoor wildlife. A self-sustaining garden can be an effi cient addition to any home, but gardens require upkeep and a certain measure of dedication.

A self-suffi cient garden is a garden that sustains itself through proper planning and execution. Such gardens can almost take care of themselves so long as the soil is healthy soil, the seeds are reused and organic material is produced.

Self-sustaining gardens also rep-resent a lifestyle where individu-als are responsible for producing

their own foods -- thus sustaining themselves without the need to shop for produce elsewhere. When planting your own self-sustaining garden, consider the following tips.

* Start with soil. Healthy soil is essential to a thriving garden. The soil must have the right pH, correct texture and composition, and be full of nutrients. Very often

the native soil in yards is not ad-equate to keep a garden thriving. In such instances, the soil needs to be improved. Adding com-post -- which can be produced in the yard as well -- to the soil will enrich the soil with nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.

* Maintain proper soil consis-tency. Soil that is the right con-

sistency, meaning the optimum balance of sand, clay and actual soil, is another necessity for a self-sustaining garden. The ideal ratio should be 40 percent sand, 40 percent silt and 20 percent clay. Having the right balance of soil can secure root formation and promote proper drainage.

* Test the pH. Certain plants need a specifi c pH in order to

grow. A neutral pH range is typi-cally ideal for growing vegetables. A pH tester can be purchased from a gardening center. Amend the soil accordingly to get the soil back to its correct level.

* Know the growing season. Veg-etables should be planted during the season in which they will thrive. Peas, beets and cabbage, for example, are cold-tempera-ture vegetables, while cucumbers, squash and melons thrive in warm climates. Plant accordingly so that the vegetables will have the best chances for success.

* Purchase quality seeds. Use fresh seeds, particularly ones that have been harvested from your own garden the year before, to have the best chances for germination. Or buy seeds from a reputable source, like a garden center or an online retailer who specializes in vegetable seeds.

* Start seedlings indoors. You may want to work with seedlings indoors so that you can monitor growth and care for them more easily. Then transplant the seed-lings outside when they are stable enough for the elements.

Building a business wardrobeThe transition from college

student or stay-at-home mom to full-time professional requires a number of changes. Those changes include updating your wardrobe to give it a more professional feel. Clothing that’s acceptable for a jaunt to the store or a night out may not be appropriate for the offi ce.

Just what constitutes a profes-sional wardrobe has changed over the years, and the guidelines for such attire are no longer as fi rm as they once were. But it still behooves a woman to add some classic, profes-sional pieces to her closet. While skirts and pantyhose may no longer be mandatory, dressing con-servatively and cleanly in an offi ce environ-ment is always a safe bet.

In order to achieve a wardrobe transformation without breaking the bank, fashion experts advise adding separates to build around a base suit. Find a suit that is fl at-tering to your fi gure and make it a workplace staple. Then pur-chase coordinating pants, sweater sets, shirts, another skirt, and accessories that can be mixed and matched with elements from the suit to create different looks. If your budget allows, purchase another suit in a different color so you can continue to build wardrobe possibilities.

When selecting base pieces, opt for neutral colors of tan, gray, black, and blue so that these items can be worn repeatedly without being noticed. Acces-sories and blouses can offer pops of color when necessary. A nice handbag or pair of shoes can quite easily add color to an oth-erwise monotone ensemble.

When selecting items from the rack, look for those that fi t well but aren’t too constrictive or racy. Inquire with your new em-

ployer’s hiring manager or human resources department to fi nd out if the workplace has any restric-tions on wardrobe. There may be employee guidelines, particularly in certain industries, such as law or education. If no such restric-tions are in place, keep skirts to knee-length and avoid particularly low-cut tops. Save more revealing items for nights out with friends.

Many employers have adopted dress-down days as perks for their employees. Although you

may be invited to dress more casually, avoid dressing for a day at the beach or hanging around the house. Opt for trouser-style jeans that are free of rips and embellish-ments. If athletic shoes are allowed, make sure they are clean and not the pair you wear while tending to your garden. Avoid graphic T-shirts that feature potentially offensive or suggestive messages. In more conservative

companies, dressing down may be opting for khakis instead of suits. It is important to know the difference.

Include these all-time business staples.

* Classic black pump shoes

* Crisp, button-down white shirt

* Fine-knit sweater in a bright color

* Camisole or shell in a neutral color to wear under blazers

* Cardigan in black or white that can be worn over tops or dresses

How to handle grown kids returning homeThe days when a college degree

practically guaranteed employ-ment are long gone. While mul-tiple studies have shown young adults with a bachelor’s degree had a lower jobless rate than those with no college degree both before and after the recent recession, such research is not comforting to the bevy of recent college grads who still cannot fi nd work in their chosen fi eld or earn enough to live on their own.

More and more young adults return-ing home after graduating college has proved incon-venient for many families. Though young adults moving back home after graduat-ing might be inconvenient and less than ideal for all parties involved, there are ways to make it work.

* Be patient. Patience is a virtue that all parties will need to embrace when an adult child is moving back in with Mom and Dad. The transition is bound to have its rocky moments, as young adults are used to living by their own rules while parents can eas-ily revert to the days when they had to establish household rules so kids would learn responsibil-ity and accountability. Adjusting to the new living arrangement may not be easy, but all members of the family should remain as patient as possible and give one another adequate space. Parents won’t want to feel like they have to get on their kids to clean up after themselves or be respectful of other members of the house-hold, and young adults won’t want to feel like they’re being treated as children. Be patient as everyone adjusts and don’t allow any initial issues to escalate into an uncomfortable situation.

* Set a time limit. While it’s understandable for parents to

want to help a child, your offer for a place to stay should not be indefi nite. Discuss the length of stay with your child when he or she moves back in. This can motivate him or her to look for a job or develop a plan to improve employment prospects. Kids who think they can live at their parents’ for as long as they’d like are bound to procrastinate with regard to fi nding a job or pursuing an advanced degree. You

can always extend the time limit down the road, but young adults should not be allowed to look at moving back in to your home as an indefi nite arrangement.

* Address how young adults are going to earn money. While it might be diffi cult for recent college graduates to fi nd job in their chosen fi elds, they are still going to need income to pay their bills and fi nance

other living expenses. Discuss their plans to earn some money while they look for jobs within their professions or apply to graduate schools. Full-time work may hinder the job hunt, but young adults should fi nd some source of income, and a job will get them out of the house and may even be an opportunity to network and learn about jobs in their fi elds. A situation where young adults move back into their parents’ home and don’t work is sure to become problematic and make things uncomfortable for all in the household.

* Charge rent. To some parents, the idea of charging their children who can’t fi nd work within their fi elds rent is like kicking a dog when it’s down. But charging rent can prepare kids who will eventu-ally be living independently. Rent might even be a motivating factor, as young adults might feel like their rent money could be better spent fi nancing a place of their own as opposed to paying to live in the same room where they spent their childhood.

Did you know?Landscape fabrics are used

to prevent weed growth while still allowing air, oxygen and water to flow to and from the soil. Land-scape fabrics are a chemi-cal-free way to prevent weed growth, endear-ing them to eco-friendly home-own-ers. Landscape fabrics, once laid, also are a far less labor-intensive method to prevent weed growth, as they can be effective for

several years, during which homeowners can expect to perform little or no main-tenance. In addition, many homeowners prefer land-

scape fabrics because they can help the soil effec-tively maintain moisture during dry periods, when gardens might otherwise be highly susceptible to drought. Once put down, land-

scape fabric can be covered with mulch to add aesthetic appeal.

Q: I noticed when I dropped off a dress with lace trim that the trim was beginning to fray. Clean-ing did not help the situation. The dress does not look as good as a result of this. Is there a remedy?

A: This type of damage usu-ally originates from rubbing and friction during normal use that is further aggravated during the cleaning process. Normally, this damage will only occur on trims that are not adequately secured during their original construction. A dry-cleaner will usually at-tempt to reduce or prevent damage by shortening the clean-ing cycle and net bagging the gar-ment in order to reduce agitation.

However, the garment manufac-turer must ensure that the trim is adequately constructed and secured, in order to withstand expected conditions from normal use and care. Fringe or lace trim that has be-come unraveled or frayed cannot normally be repaired satisfactorily. The only way to restore the gar-ment to a usable condition is to replace the trim.

Swimsuit shopping savvySwimsuit season is heralded for

the return of warmer weather, but often feared for the arrival of revealing clothing. Swimsuits are typically the most revealing wardrobe items of all.

Shopping for a new swimsuit may evoke feelings of fear and anxiety, but women should not be so afraid when swimming season arrives. Instead, employ the follow-ing tips to suit up in a style that fits your body and personality.

* Pear-shaped women or those with shorter legs may benefit from a style of swimsuit that brings the eyes up to the chest to draw attention away from the lower half of the body. Look for leg openings that are moderately

high cut to elongate the legs and do not hit at the thickest part of the thigh.

*Women who want to amplify the appearance of a small bust are best to avoid bandeau-style tops or skimpy bikinis. Instead, look for tops that have ruffles or other embellishments that add more substance to the bust area. Underwire tops can also push up

and offer more support.

* To minimize a thicker mid-dle, avoid shiny fabrics and tankinis. Wear a solid-colored suit that has high-cut legs or a low-cut

top to draw attention away from the belly area.

* Women with bigger busts can still wear a two-piece swimsuit if they choose that swimsuit wisely. Opt for bathing suits that have a hidden bra inside or underwire. Avoid triangle bikini tops. Also, skip high-cut tops, which can make a chest look even bigger but squashed.

* Those who are plus-sized may have qualms about stepping out in a bathing suit. However, there are many flattering styles avail-able. Look for a wrap style that instantly slims the middle. Keep swimsuits simple so that pattern doesn’t overwhelm the body. You can wear two-piece swimsuits, but avoid string bikinis that may dig into curves and cause bulging.

* Don’t be afraid to a buy a swimsuit one size up. Thanks to the elastic and form-fitting nature of swimsuits, you may need to go for a bigger size for comfort and also to flatter your shape. Pay attention to how the bathing suit looks on your body rather than the size of the swimsuit.

Once you find a swimsuit you like, take note of the manufac-turer and style and remember to follow these guidelines the next time warm weather returns.

Say Yes to Your Perfect Wedding Dress!by Lisa Miller, Studio di Luce

One of the first things a newly engaged bride will do is search for her beautiful wedding dress. But finding the perfect dress, for some, can be even harder than finding the perfect guy. There are so many styles, fabrics and shades of white, where do you start? Understanding the basic wed-ding dress styles and fabrics, as well as the most popular shades of white, can help you quickly narrow down your choices to those that will be most flattering for you.

Surprisingly, the traditional, pure white dress is not the best choice for the majority of women because it washes out most complexions and can give a sallow look. A better choice for most is a warmer white with a slight yellow cast which is very flattering to fair skin. If you have more of a medium skin tone with an olive undertone choose a cooler white, or if you have a pink undertone go for a creamier

white or champagne. If you have dark skin you can wear just about any shade of white, but give some thought as to the time of day of your wedding, as a bright white

on dark skin can tend to look like it’s glowing in low light.

For dress styles, choosing some-thing that flatters your body shape and understand-ing the variety of fabrics that are available is very important. When it comes to fabric, the same style dress can look and feel differ-ent in a variety of fabrics since each material is

designed to produce a distinct effect. What looks great on one bride can look unflattering on an-other, so seek out a professional cont. on pg 24

consultant at a bridal boutique who can assist you instead of relying on the opinions of your entourage. Have fun in the search and remember, just like the right guy, the right dress is out there waiting for you!

A-Line or Princess Cut:These are

the dresses that cut close past the waistline through the hip, and then flair a bit near the hem, similar to the shape of a letter “A”. This is an excellent choice if you are pear-shaped.

Ball Gown:This is more of a traditional

dress, fitted at the bodice and waist with a very full skirt. Like the Princess Cut, this is a good choice if you are larger on the

bottom than top, but can also add curves to a very thin figure.

Empire: With it’s very high waistline cut right below the

bust, to its slim skirt, the Empire is great for more of an athletic or

boyish figure which doesn’t have much

of a waistline.

Mermaid or Trumpet:This is a very

form-fitting style that flares out just below the knees (Mermaid) or just above the knees (Trumpet). If you have curves on the top and bottom, this dress is for you!

Sheath:The sheath dress

is a very straight cut from top to bottom that just skims your figure and looks fabulous on tall brides. This style can also be worn by a petite bride to elongate the figure.

The Tailor and the cookBy Malissa Allen

I knew when I walked in the door to this establishment this was a one of a kind place. If the name along didn’t intrigue me, the décor did. Most times I can walk in a place and know instantly if it’s going to be a good experience or not. “The Tailor and the Cook” is more than a good experi-ence; it’s a trip back in time, a grand pleasure with those that still appreciate great culinary just as our ancestors did. They still believe the best culinary choices should be all fresh, home grown products, from local farmers, vendors and business’s. That right there won me over real fast. I knew as soon as I entered and sat down with the owners that I was going to enjoy my time there. A beautiful bar greets you as you walk in, lined with items from history itself. When I say history, I mean Utica, NY history. The beauty and care put into the remolding is obvious that their inten-tions were to offer high end, high quality, fresh culinary delights, in a friendly, feel right at home atmosphere. This is exactly what it feels like the minute you walk in. I sat down with Tim and Melissa and their business partner, (as well as longtime friend), Chris, to get the story behind this amaz-ing place I’ve heard so much about. The name it seems was the hardest decision the team had to make while planning their venture. The “Tailor” part really had nothing to do with the team, but everything to do with the

building. Back in the 1800’s the building once housed a tailoring business, hence the vintage sew-ing machines and other sewing gadgets on display behind the bar. They wanted to leave the history to the building (as well as to the

city of Utica), so this was step one in their naming of the business. The “cook” part is Chef Tim Hardiman and Chef Steve Arbogast. Both Tim and Steve have a love, along with wonderful taste for culinary, which is very obvious in the menu items. The menu is limited, with revolving op-

tions that change every 2 weeks. Tim and Chris run the back of the house, adamant that every meal served is top of the line. They believe in supporting the area while serving the freshest of produce. Melissa runs the front of house assuring that their

servers are no doubt hard to beat. By hearing them speak with so much pride, I believe this to be true. If they had to give a “style” to the menu, it would be considered New American foods, a taste of French. If you are some-one that may have allergies, you won’t be left out. They see to it that everyone is

trained in preparing foods that fi t the needs of everyone that walks in the door. If you’re a beer lover, then they have just the taste for you. I was impressed with the fact they serve many different types, brands and fl avors from all over, not your standard labels most places offer. I sat and visited with these 3 owners for quite a while, talking, laughing, sharing our knowledge and back grounds in culinary. What I can tell you is that it is very obvious of the pride they cont. on next pg.

take in the food, service, atmo-sphere, as well as their staff and the top of the line dishes they serve. As I said, when I walked in, I felt right at home, when I left, I felt I had just left friends I’d known for a while. You cannot go wrong by making “The Tailor and The Cook” a part of your dining out top choices. The entire package is one that is rare to find with today’s ideas of “dining out”. Tim, Melissa and Chris have done an amazing job at leaving history, adding quality food, friendly, well trained service while promoting all local vendors. Really, does it get any better than that? If you haven’t tried them yet, put them on your “must do” bucket list, you will thank me afterwards. You will need to make reserva-tions at least 1 week in advance.

w w w . m o h a w k v a l l e y b l u e s . o r g

On Saturday June 29th, The Mohawk Valley Blues Society will be presenting The Mohawk Valley Blues Festival at The Herkimer County Fairgrounds in Frankfort, NY. The festival will feature world-

renowned blues artists, as well as area and regional acts. The head-liners will be Jimmy Thackery, Tad Robinson, and Dennis Gruenling and Steve Guyger. Thackery is an exciting guitarist whose style cov-ers the blues spectrum. He was a co-founder of The Nighthawks, but has been working solo since 1987. Since then, he has toured widely and recorded eight discs for Blind Pig and several more for Telarc. Severn Records recording artistTad Robinson is a soulful singer who was nominated for Male Blues Artist of the Year in 2011. Downbeat magazine placed him “near the top of the list of the finest living singers of soul blues.” The double bill of Dennis Gruenling and Steve Guyger will give festival goers a glimpse of two of the best blues harmonica players in the world, together on one stage. Guyger played for many years with the late Jimmy Rogers and is considered a brilliant practitioner of Chicago

blues. Gruenling is one of the best young guns on the instru-ment and is particularly awesome on chromatic harmonica.

In addition to these top-flight

acts, The Mohawk Valley Blues Festival is proud to present The MVBS All-Stars, a grouping of some of the area’s top flight talent. Tas Cru and His Band of Tortured Souls will turn in a hot set of blues, and The Blues-Women Revue will feature top MVBS female performances and Buffalo Blues Diva Patti Parks. The Double Barrel Blues Band out of Syracuse will kick off the pro-ceedings at noon.

Tickets for this one-of-a-kind musical event are $15/advance and $20 at the gate. Tickets are available at all MVBS events and at Utica Harley Davison, Big Apple Music, and Bonamassa Guitar. They are also available through The Mohawk Valley Blues Society website at mvbs.org. The Mohawk Valley Blues Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of blues music. Interested persons are invited to join us; one low fee gets you a

lifetime membership! The MVBS hosts blues jams the second Wednesday of each month at the Snubbing Post and the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Ramada in New Hartford.Several sponsors have made

this festival possible: Northern Safety has been a major sup-porter. Other sponsors(at the time of this writing) include Utica Harley Davison, Big Apple Music, Bonamassa Guitar, MVCC, and Stewart’s.

The festival will be under cover, so please come out, rain or shine. Also, please: no carry-in food or beverage. Come enjoy a day and night of great blues music.

The VALUE of a Chiropractic Adjustment… By: Dr. Timothy J. DelMedico

Back pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States right now. These days people have many options to explore for help. With so many patients, practitioners of all sorts have sprung up to help with this ailment. Some are very ex-pensive, some are not quite as expensive. Obviously you want the best bang for your buck in a day where insurance coverage is shrinking by the minute.

Value is the measure of worth that you receive per dollar in-vested. Value is optimum return for a quality service. Wikipedia defines it as “a measure of the benefit that you can gain from a service”. It is my opinion that the value of a Chiropractic adjust-ment is paramount to all other services. First of all, Chiropractic seeks to

correct the cause of your body’s dysfunction. This makes it unique in today’s healthcare environ-ment. Pills are prescribed to treat symptoms, shots are administered to treat symptoms, surgery is per-formed to treat symptoms. Chi-ropractors look to the spine to remove subluxated (misaligned) vertebra in order to allow the body to heal better and faster. Yes, the result of removing these subluxations may be that your back pain disappeared, but by removing the interference in your nervous system, your body func-tions better. It’s just that simple. No drugs, no shots, no surgery required. You can keep all of your anatomy! Why wouldn’t you see a skilled Chiropractor first? There are no bad side affects (there are many good ones), it doesn’t hurt, and you can’t beat the value! An average back surgery costs

approximately $50,000 and is rising. A round or three of pain shots costs approximately $4-5,000. This does NOT even include the drugs or PT that you have to go through either before, after, or both. I am not dead set against these modalities of treat-ment, but common sense dictates

that patients should progress from least invasive to most inva-sive. A typical visit to a Chiro-practor costs $35-40. Even if it took 50 visits to get you healthy, it still wouldn’t add up to half of some of the other options that are available. Bottom line: start with Chiropractic care and go from there. What do you have to lose? What have you already lost? Happiness, family time, your job?

Sugar not so sweet for your health Men and women often joke about needing their daily “sugar fix.” But the American Heart As-sociation notes that the average American is consuming nearly twice the amount of sugar he or she should be, a mistake that could be jeopardizing sugar con-sumers’ long-term health.

If sugar is a staple of your diet, then the following are a handful of factors that might make you reconsider your relationship with the sweet stuff.

* Sugar may increase risk of diabetes. Studies have shown a link between sugar consumption and diabetes. A study published in the journal Diabetes Care revealed that subjects who drank one to two servings of sugar per day were 26 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who drank one serving of sugar per month or none at all. Sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to weight gain, and overweight and obesity are risk factors for diabetes. And the quick delivery of sugar to your body from sweetened beverages

Coping with seasonal allergies The season of allergy-induced sniffl es and other complications is right around the corner. If you are one of the millions of people affected by seasonal allergies that lead to nasal swelling, sneez-ing, watery eyes, and a scratchy throat, you may not be eagerly anticipating the warmer weather as much as others.

Allergy research is ongo-

ing, and in the future doctors may be able to prevent allergic reactions from occurring rather than treating the symptoms that ensue. Until then, you will have to work with the remedies that currently exist. These remedies include antihistamines, which can cause dangerous interactions with other medications and may cause drowsiness. These side effects can be dangerous for use in seniors. Consider these other options instead.

* Drink plenty of fl uids. Although liquids can’t wash the allergens out of your system, water, juice and clear broths can help loosen congestion. Hot liquids can soothe infl amed membranes in the nose and throat.

* Avoid allergens as much as pos-sible. Check weather reports for the levels of particulates in the air and stay indoors if they are high. Keep away from tall grasses and places with a lot of foliage.

can lead to insulin resistance and inflammation over time.

* Excessive amounts of sugar can negatively affect your heart. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that people who got 25 percent or more of their calories from added sugars were

far more likely to have low levels of HDL, also known as “good cholesterol,” than those whose diets included less than 5 percent sugar. Low HDLlevels increase your risk of stroke, heart disease and heart attack.

* Sugar may negatively impact mood. A sugar high may temporar-ily boost your mood, but researchers from Baylor College of Medicine discovered a correlation between sugar consumption and depression. The exact link is unknown, but some researchers feel insulin resistance result-ing from heavy sugar consumption forces the release of stress hormones, negatively affecting mood.

Sugar from pg 32

* Use the air conditioning. Rather than keeping the windows wide open, use an air conditioner and dehumidifier to filter the air coming inside of the house and ensuring it is cool and dry.

* Head to the beach. If you want to spend time outdoors, areas by the ocean will have pollen counts

that are much lower than in mountainous areas.

* Dry clothes indoors. Line-dried clothes may smell fresh, but they can bring molds and pollens indoors and exacerbate allergies.

* Shower frequently. After being outdoors, take a shower to rinse

off any allergens clinging to hair and skin.

* Check with a doctor. Before mixing allergy medications with any prescriptions you are taking, ensure that they are safe to mix. If your doctor is unavailable, con-sult with a pharmacist about drug interactions.

But not necessary

Death is not a topic many people prefer to discuss. However, discussing funeral planning and making arrangements can be a smart financial move and one that limits large decisions at a time of heightened emotions.

It’s never too early to begin pre-planning a funeral. There are very good reasons for pre-need planning. All arrangements can be thoroughly considered and spelled out so they meet a person’s desires.

Stress and grief can make family members unable to cope with decisions during the time of death. As a result, one of the most important reasons for pre-need

planning is to make the process one in which close friends and family members can come to grips with the death, rather than having to run around for a few days and make arrangements in haste.

We also do personalized pet memorials to commemorate the lives of those who gave us so much love and companionship. There are many options to choose from with something for all budgets.

Did you know? High levels of exercise can help to prevent stiffening of the arteries in middle-aged men and women. Researchers at Indiana University studied 21 men and 28 women, 33 of whom were highly active swim-mers who exercised vigorously for more than 200 minutes per week. The remaining 16 par-ticipants exercised moderately or not at all. The study found highly active mid-dle-aged men and women had significantly less arterial stiffness than those who were inactive

or exercised moderately. Among men and women in the inac-tive group, men had less arterial stiffness than women, suggesting exercise may be more beneficial for women than men with regard

to reducing the risk of developing arterial stiffness that can lead to cardio-vascular disease. Researchers noted that this may be because inactive women tend to be more sedentary

than inactive men.

“The Fabulous Beekman Boys” to attend Trout Power along the West Canada Creek

“Who’s up for a family fun Rubber Ducky Race Day?”

As part of the Mohawk Valley region’s Annual Trout Power® Event weekend, Amazing Race winners Brent & Josh of “The Fabulous Beekman Boys” kickoff this year’s race down the Cincin-nati Creek, Barneveld, NY. Join the Beekman 1802 boys and cheer your Rubber Ducky on with the “Beekman Duckies” starting at 12PM on Sunday, June 9th.

Trout Power’s mission is to change the world by honoring clean water not by its’ clarity but by the wild trout that live in it. Wild trout thriving in a stream are a definitive benchmark for clean water. Trout Power’s built upon helping communities find that balance in their rivers and streams so that all may pros-per together. Launched around education and awareness for the West Canada Creek in the Mo-hawk Valley in Upstate NY, Trout Power is now a year round initia-tive that includes a full weekend celebration June 7th-9th, 2013.

Join Brent and Josh along with Adirondack Cheese Co. as we

launch over two thousand rubber duckies starting at the Barneveld Library bridge. Beekman 1802 is one of the fastest growing brands in the country. They’ve become internationally famous for their fine, artisanal goat cheeses and soaps. Adirondack Cheese Company is a premium producer of New York State Aged Ched-dar Cheese and gourmet cheese spreads located in Barneveld on Route12 (20 minutes north of Utica). The cheddar cheeses are aged on premises from one to seven years.

In addition to Adirondack Cheese Co.’ Rubber Ducky Race, Trout Power weekend includes a Spin and Fly Fishing catch and release tournament and creel study on the West Canada Creek. Teams travel from as far away as Michigan, Virginia, Oregon, Delaware, Ohio, as Trout Power is attracting attention across the country.

In cooperation with NYS DEC, area business chambers and tour-ism councils, Trout Power spreads the good word to leave the river better than you found it. “This

effort, as similar efforts have for many other rivers, has the power to put The West Canada Creek on a world stage for tourism,” say’s co-founder JP Ross.

You don’t have to be a fisher-man to enjoy Trout Power. Fami-lies can participate in a Friday evening kickoff Gala and Silent Auction, a 5K run, a Saturday night party with international singer songwriter Dean Batstone, an Archery Tournament, a Kid’s Fishing Derby, Town of Russia Chicken BBQ, and a 28 Mile Yard Sale on Route 28 all weekend. “We want businesses to use Trout Power as a great way to generate business and new customers… get creative and figure out ways to make Trout Power your own” says co-founder Angela Moonan.

People can purchase their ducks at several area Barneveld busi-nesses. Find locations online along with further Event Times and Locations at TroutPower.com or on Facebook at Facebook.com/Events.

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

Conservation through edu-cation and action in coopera-tion 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, flour-ishing ecosystem in the river. If we want to protect this amazing resource and leverage it respon-sibly 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.

Trout Power’s mission is to change the world by honoring clean water not by its’ clarity, but

by the wild trout that live in it.

www.troutpower.comFishing the West Canada CreekWest Canada Creek is one

of the most renowned trout streams in central New York, pro-viding anglers with good fishing for both brown trout and brook trout.

Beginning with its headwaters in the southeastern Adirondacks in Hamilton County, West Canada Creek provides good fishing opportunities throughout its length as it flows east and then south through Herkimer and Oneida counties, emptying into the Mohawk River near Herkimer, New York.

Anglers can catch a number of different fish species in West Canada Creek. In the upper reaches, brook trout are the angler’s favorite. Many anglers

are rewarded with nice sized brookies that are stocked here. In addition, anglers will also find naturally occurring brookies near the mouths of small tributaries.

From Hinckley Dam to Her-kimer, anglers concentrate on fishing for brown trout, which are stocked as yearlings and two-year-olds. As an added bonus, smallmouth bass and fallfish also offer sporty catches in the lower section.

For trophy-sized fish try the Trenton Falls area. Special regula-

tions, like a no kill restriction and use of artificial lures only, com-bined with an extended fishing season, help produce trophy fish.

Anglers are reminded to check the current fishing regulations prior to fishing any section of West Canada Creek.

Fast Rising Water WARNING: Below Trenton Falls and the Hinckley Dam, West Canada Creek is subject to sudden water surges from the upstream power dam. Wading anglers must be careful to watch for rising waters and then quickly move to shore.
