Holiday Marketplace to Support Bloom Bangor
Bloom Bangor will hold its 2nd Annual Holiday Marketplace on Sunday December 11th from 1-4pm at the recently re-opened Chelsea Sun Inn 487 Stone Church Drive in Mount Bethel, PA. The Chelsea Sun Inn is an elegant venue nestled in the rolling hills of Upper Mount Bethel Township just one-quarter mile from Becks Tree Farm off route 611. Give a gift that keeps on giving when you purchase locally sourced artisan gifts including candles, hand-painted ornaments, acrylic paintings, crafts, baked goods and more. All proceeds from the Holiday Marketplace support Bloom Bangor, a 2-year residential recovery program for women moving beyond a life of trauma, addiction and violence. Modeled after the remarkably successful Thistle Farms Nashville program, Bloom Bangor welcomed their first residents in early March. The residential program provides housing for up to 6 women who live in a disciplined and supportive community. Bloom offers housing, trauma informed counseling, art therapy, access to medical care, education, job training and employment for two years without charging women or receiving government funding. Participants attend outpatient recovery services at Recovery Revolution, Inc. No staff member lives with residents and instead the community is guided by 24 spiritual principles as outlined by Thistle Farms Nashville. Bloom Creative Studio is a complementary program of Bloom Bangor and is where women living in the home are employed in a supportive environment. The 2,400 square foot arts, crafts and retail space in historic downtown Bangor hosts painting parties and crafting workshops for kids and adults as well as “open studio” sessions 4-5 days per week. Open studio is a time when guests can walk in and create on their own using all the studio’s tools and supplies. A licensed art therapist leads a weekly art therapy group for women every Monday that is open to the community. Bloom Bangor, Bloom Creative Studio and a close partnership with Recovery Revolution, Inc. are essential to the success of the overall program. “This is where survivors will find the necessary resources to maintain recovery, heal from wounds of trauma, enhance vocational skills and discover hope to begin a new and healthier chapter in life,” says Carol Andersen, Executive Director. “We believe art heals and develops resiliency and that connections within our community will be a key to success for the courageous women healing at Bloom Bangor. We are stronger when we join forces to empower individuals and ultimately create communities where everyone can thrive and work towards a bright and promising future.” Lisa Rowe was appropriately dressed for a Victorian Tea held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bangor Saturday afternoon.

Testing for Radon - Because of its geology, Pennsylvania is prone to high levels of radon, a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally through the breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks. It can enter a home through cracks in the foundation or other openings and is a leading cause of lung cancer. Radon has been detected in all 67 counties. Last October, a home in southern Lehigh County showed a radon level of more than 6,100 picocuries per liter, the highest level ever recorded in the state. Testing is the only way to know if a home, school, workplace or other structure has elevated levels of radon. An easy home test kit can be purchased at hardware or home improvement stores for about $20 to $30. People may also hire a state-certified testing company. For more information, including information on interpreting radon test results and finding a Pennsylvania-certified radon contractor, visit the DEP Radon Division web site or call 800-23-RADON (800-237-2366). .

Three Simple Swaps for a Healthier Lunch
(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - Choosing a healthy lunch doesn't have to be boring or a day-to-day challenge. In fact, there are plenty of tasty and healthier substitutions you can make to your favorite meals when eating out or packing a lunch, such as adding more fresh fruits and vegetables and reducing refined grain products such as white bread and sugary foods. And losing just a few pounds can help reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association.
"The American Diabetes Association is committed to raising awareness and celebrating healthy choices. When it comes to any meal, if you are living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, making the healthy choice is probably at the forefront of your mind, but it's not always the easy choice. Remember that healthy choices for people with diabetes are the same as for everyone else: choose more vegetables, especially leafy greens, lean protein sources and whole grains in place of processed refined grains whenever you can," says Sacha Uelmen, RDN, CDE, Director, Nutrition at the American Diabetes Association.
Making better choices at lunch is a great place to start. And even small changes can help.
So check out these healthy swaps below:
* Caesar Salad. The traditional salad contains romaine lettuce, croutons, parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing. Make a healthier salad by asking for the dressing on the side and use it sparingly. Add more veggies to your salad to increase vitamins and minerals, including dark, leafy greens, such as kale or spinach, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, or onions instead of croutons. Go light on the cheese or skip it altogether. Some restaurants now offer kale Caesar salad.
* Pizza. Two slices of pizza with extra cheese sounds delicious, but it can be high in saturated fat and calories. A better option is to have one slice of regular cheese pizza with veggie toppings and a side salad or two small slices of thin crust pizza with a side salad. And what about soda? Try sparkling water or still water with lemon instead.
* Italian sub. Choosing a sandwich with fries and a soda or sweet tea might satisfy a craving, but it's also a lunch that is packed with calories. Try a grilled chicken breast or turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread or wrap and add plenty of veggies. Replace regular mayo with avocado, hummus, or light mayonnaise and ask for half the cheese. Add fresh fruit or a small salad in place of the fries. And swap out the soda or sweet tea for water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea with a splash of lime.
Take the stress out of making these choices on your own and consider a structured meal plan like Nutrisystem D, which provides pre-portioned meals to help manage diabetes and keep healthy eating on track at every meal.

Updating Workplace Ergonomics for
Today's Economy
(NewsUSA) - We've heard a lot about "workplace ergonomics" in recent years, but with the economy changing -- more people are working from home, whether by choice or their employers' decisions to "go virtual," -- maybe it's time to acknowledge the obvious: It's just as easy to injure yourself no matter where you physically work.
Think about it: When it comes to a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries caused by stress to the joints from repetitive tasks, overuse of muscles and poor posture, what's the difference if you're slumping in front of an office computer or a home laptop? Or lifting heavy cartons onto the back of a delivery truck or your closet shelf?
As the Society for Human Resource Management advises: "Employees who work from home or travel for work should be taught to assess their ad-hoc workplaces for ergonomic risks."
If you are hurting, doctors of chiropractic -- who have a minimum of seven years of higher education -- focus on structure and function. They care for pain syndromes with a drug-free approach that includes spinal manipulation and exercises to help stretch out and strengthen core muscles. Meanwhile, here's a few tips to follow:
* Invest in a good chair, mind your posture, and learn proper lifting and stretching techniques.
* Keep your eyes at the same height as the computer monitor -- without leaning forward -- to help avoid headaches and neck pain.
* Take frequent stretching micro-breaks and stay hydrated with water.
"Back injuries are the most prevalent occupational injury, and studies have shown chiropractic patients have consistently better outcomes," says the not-for-profit Foundation for Chiropractic Progress' Dr. Gerard Clum, DC.

Bloom Bangor, Bloom Creative Studio and a close partnership with Recovery Revolution, Inc. are essential to the success of the overall program.
“This is where survivors will find the necessary resources to maintain recovery, heal from wounds of trauma, enhance vocational skills and discover hope to begin a new and healthier chapter in life,” says Carol Andersen, Executive Director. “We believe art heals and develops resiliency and that connections within our community will be a key to success for the courageous women healing at Bloom Bangor. We are stronger when we join forces to empower individuals and ultimately create communities where everyone can thrive and work towards a bright and promising future.”
Bloom Bangor will hold its 2nd Annual Holiday Marketplace on Sunday December 11th from 1-4pm at the recently re-opened Chelsea Sun Inn 487 Stone Church Drive in Mount Bethel, PA. The Chelsea Sun Inn is an elegant venue nestled in the rolling hills of Upper Mount Bethel Township just one-quarter mile from Becks Tree Farm off route 611.
Give a gift that keeps on giving when you purchase locally sourced artisan gifts including candles, hand-painted ornaments, acrylic paintings, crafts, baked goods and more. All proceeds from the Holiday Marketplace support Bloom Bangor, a 2-year residential recovery program for women moving beyond a life of trauma, addiction and violence.
Modeled after the remarkably successful Thistle Farms Nashville program, Bloom Bangor welcomed their first residents in early March. The residential program provides housing for up to 6 women who live in a disciplined and supportive community. Bloom offers housing, trauma informed counseling, art therapy, access to medical care, education, job training and employment for two years without charging women or receiving government funding. Participants attend outpatient recovery services at Recovery Revolution, Inc. No staff member lives with residents and instead the community is guided by 24 spiritual principles as outlined by Thistle Farms Nashville.
Bloom Creative Studio is a complementary program of Bloom Bangor and is where women living in the home are employed in a supportive environment. The 2,400 square foot arts, crafts and retail space in historic downtown Bangor hosts painting parties and crafting workshops for kids and adults as well as “open studio” sessions 4-5 days per week.
