Writing Workshops SALEM Register by June
21 for Bonnie Hoag’s Writing Workshops at Salem Art Works on Saturday, June 23.
Hoag will con-duct work-shops from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to
4 p.m. The morning work-
s h o p will consist of play-ful sound and aroma writing exercises followed by a walk around the context of SAW. Time for writing and shar-ing will follow. During the afternoon workshop, partici-pants will explore the alche-
my of etymology as it might shape contexts for writing. Participants will then use preparations for the Iron Pour on SAW’s campus as a context.
The theme of the work-shops is to explore sound and meaning through the medium of words, and with-in unexpected contexts, said Hoag.
Bonnie Hoag is the direc-tor of Dionondehowa Wildlife Sanctuary and School, near Shushan. Her approach to writing work-shops is innovative and play-ful, she notes.
Cost is $25 for one session or $40 for both. Meals are included in the fee. It is rec-ommended that participants dress comfortably for an easy hike in the morning. Be sure to bring a paper and pen and a dictionary which includes etymologies.
To register, call 518-854-7674 before June 21. Salem Art Works is located off West Broadway in Salem. For fur-ther workshop information, call Bonnie at 518-854-7764. This event is funded in part by Poets & Writers and is made possible b the New York State Council on the Arts.

Whipple City Fest GREENWICH In celebra-
tion of the 20th Annual Whipple City Festival, the premier spring event in Southern Washington
County, the G r e a t e r G r e e n w i c h Chamber of C o m m e r c e
has a full weekend of
entertainment planned. The festival kicks off at 6
p.m. on Friday, June 15 with the Whipple City Parade. This year’s parade theme is “Sunday Comics,” lead by Grand Marshal John McPherson.
“We always try to do some-thing new and innovative to make it special for the com-munity,” said Kathy Nichols-Tomkins, manager of the Chamber. Approximately 3,000 to 4,000 people attend the festival each year, she noted.
McPherson is the well-known artist of the “Close to Home” syndicated comic. After beginning at the K-Mart Plaza, the parade will end near Academy Street in front of the police station.
The top three contingents or floats in the parade who best exemplify the theme will be awarded the original art of a published “Close to Home” cartoon provided by McPherson. Judges will be Greenwich students Grady Dixson, Pete Hayes and Keith Pratt. Awards will take place at the gazebo in Mowry Park immediately following the parade. John McPherson will also be signing copies of his “Close to Home” book at the gazebo.
After the parade, the Dry Town Drifters will play clas-sic country in Mowry Park during the early evening.
Saturday’s events start off bright and early at 8:30 a.m. in front of the Greenwich Middle School, with the Whipple City 5K Run/Walk. Runners can register in advance at www.active.com, or by picking up a registra-
tion form at the following locations: The Greenwich Chamber office at 6 Academy Street, Helping Hands Physical Therapy at 4 Main Street, or the Battenkill YMCA on Main Street. Registrations received prior to June 14 are $20. Same day registration takes place at 7:30 a.m. and costs $25.
The first 150 registrants will receive a special race T-shirt. “We are giving out a wonderful dri-knit shirt with a beautiful design this year,” Nichols-Tomkins said. A portion of the proceeds from the race will support the Greater Greenwich Chamber of Commerce Scholarship fund. More than 160 runners are expected to participate.
Festivities continue through the day on Saturday, with a country craft fair in Mowry Park, animal demon-strations in Dorr Park on Main Street, Grin Mobile Laser Tag, family carnival games, and free horse and wagon rides through the vil-lage on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Musical entertainment on Saturday afternoon will be by Kangarooster, and Keith Mann & Friends with great sounds and easy listening.
On Saturday evening, enjoy music by local favor-ites Harold Ford and the
Cash Band doing their Johnny Cash tribute.
Sunday afternoon, take dad for a special Father’s Day performance by the Capital District’s popular Celtic rock band Hair of the Dog.
Don’t miss the Family Carnival area with pony rides for the kids, Bubbles the Clown, and face paint-ing. Once again there will be the “Celebrity Dunking Booth.”

Fatigued? Grab a bottle of waterDo you find yourself reaching for a can of soda or a cup of coffee during the
day to banish fatigue? Many do. But you may want to grab a bottle of water instead. Research indicates that lack of water is the No. 1 trigger of daytime fatigue. Therefore, not only can drinking adequate supplies of water keep you refreshed, it can also help to keep you more awake - even during a boring busi-ness meeting.

Getting exercise is part of a healthy lifestyleThe spring and summer often marks
the beginning of the most active time of year for most people. This may include walking outside more frequently, garden-ing or beginning outside projects. However, not everyone takes advantage of this time of year and we at Donna P. Johnson Physical Therapy, P.C. would like to provide some helpful tips for all to consider.
Increasing your current level of activ-ity, even just a little, can provide substan-tial benefits for your overall health. It does not necessarily involve jogging or joining an exercise class. Although these are great forms of exercise, the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association recommend any form of activity that is considered moderate (6 out of 10 scale of self-per-
ceived intensity) that is performed up to five days per week is beneficial. Even this can be modified to as little as 10-min-ute bouts of increased activity for a start-ing point.
Simply walking in the back yard, pushing a lawn mower, weeding a garden or marching in place in your house all can be good methods of increasing your daily level of activity.
It is proven that more intense and lon-ger duration activity is more beneficial, and so you should be encouraged to try to do more when you feel ready. But the pri-mary goal at first is to start doing some-thing: Doing more than what you cur-rently do daily.
Eating healthier is important. Losing weight, lowering your cholesterol and having more energy from healthy foods
will make you feel better. Making some simple changes in your current diet, although may not be appreciated imme-diately, are proven to benefit your body. Review the ‘Food Pyramid’ and ask your-self if you are close to following this basic healthy eating model.
If pain in your body is what limits you from trying to be more active then seek help from your physical therapist or pri-mary care doctor. Often, most pains are related to minor amounts of stiffness or weaknesses in our muscles and joints. Specific exercises recommended by your physical therapist can reduce these com-plaints, and then allow you to start a more general exercise or increased activ-ity routine.
Most importantly: This is about you becoming healthier and living better. You
need to make the commitment to your-self so that you feel better, are healthier for yourself, your family and your friends.
Please do not hesitate to ask us direct-ly if you are interested in learning more about living a healthier lifestyle or if you are concerned about becoming more active without a professional consulta-tion first.

Glens Falls Hospital has launched an electronic medical record (EMR) system at its Family Health Centers in Cambridge, Granville, Greenwich, Hoosick Falls, Salem and Whitehall, as well as at locations in Warren, Washington and Saratoga counties.
Instead of paper charts, patient records are now securely stored in a computer system, accessible as needed by doctors throughout the Glens Falls Hospital health network.
The new online portal, “GFH MyChart,” allows patients direct online access to portions of their medical record and a convenient new way to com-municate with their health center.
With GFH MyChart, patients can go
online 24 hours a day to:Q Review test results and instructions
from their doctor;Q Review their medical history, medi-
cations, immunizations and allergies;Q Request prescription renewals;Q Schedule and review appointments;
andQ Communicate with their doctor.Once a GFH MyChart account is
established, patients can access GFH MyChart online at www.glensfallshospi-tal.org. You can also find a doctor and get more information about GFH MyChart and the Glens Falls Hospital family health centers at the same web address.
Summer: The long-awaited family-vacation season filled with flip flops and fun in the sun can also be harmful to our health.
To many of us, summer means a time of relaxation … but it’s hard to relax if you are dealing with a blis-tering sunburn, cataracts, or skin cancer. Sun protec-tion is an important part of summer. The sun is fun until there is a flip-flop in our health.
Here’s a seasonal reminder of the preparation and preventative steps to help you protect against harmful UVA /UVB rays and ensure a more sun-filled and safe experience for you and your family this summer. Bring on the bathing suits!
6XPPHU� Know the risks…Before we can prepare ourselves for
the sun, we have to know what we are up against.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, if you experience five or more sunburns each summer, your risk for post-damage skin cancer and other dermatological diseases is dou-bled.
Following these steps will likely reduce your risks of skin cancer and other diseases brought on by the sun’s harmful rays. If you do experience complications from the sun, you should apply soothing aloe and see a doctor for any changes in skin texture or coloration.
Be prepared from the inside out…Water, anti-oxidants, and Vitamin D are three
essential elements for skin health and protec-tion.
Water makes up 60 percent of our body. Keeping ourselves and our families hydrated, especially in the heat of the summer, is vital. It not only helps to keep you going, it moistens your skin.
If you’re not a fan of water, fruits and vegeta-bles can also be a great source of H20. These low-calorie snacks can also be a good source of anti-oxidants that also help to protect skin from the oxidizing effects of the sun.
Prefer fortified, nutrient-supplemented, foods like milk, fish, and eggs more? That’s okay too! The Vitamin D in these foods helps bone health and strength. Although the sun’s UV rays are the best source of Vitamin D, too much can be damaging. If the UV weather index report, found in your local newspaper, is listed at a three or above, the amount of sun exposure becomes unhealthy.
Plan time to check the time…It is important to plan your summer fun
around the sun. Some sunlight is good for our bodies because of the Vitamin D supplement. The time of day determines the amount of direct-ray exposure and the length of time you should allow yourself to be out in the sun.
“Things like water, sand, and glass can inten-sify the sun’s rays,” says Dr. Michael Dashnaw. Think that day at the beach and that one-sided sunburn you got on the car ride home. These factors reflect the sun’s rays, putting you at greater risk of sunburn.
These factors and the overall strain of the summer heat are all the more reason to take a

break often during the day. “I see a lot of first and second degree burns in the sum-mer,” says Dashnaw. “It is important to be aware that the sun can be harmful all of the time, but between the hours of 11 and 4 p.m. the sun is at its highest. It is recom-mended that you do your best to plan your sun time around this time period.
Be shady… A general rule of thumb: If your shad-
ow is shorter than you are, seek shade. This is a good clue that the sun is high enough in the sky to create direct rays.
Whether you make shade with an umbrella or find shade under a tree, you’ve got to find it somewhere. We spend a major-ity of the summer outside in the sun. While the warmth and the occasional sun tan may be enjoyable, direct sunlight can be detrimental.
Sitting in the shade allows you to enjoy the summer sun without the harmful direct rays. Shade also helps to prevent over-exposure. Shade will also help you stay cool. Not all summer activities can be done in the shade, so go have fun, play a game of volleyball, then grab a glass of lemonade to relax in the shade with.
Protect yourself before you wreck yourself…
Before you go outside, give yourself a good base of sunscreen that is at least SPF 15 or higher and put some ChapStik in your pocket. The Skin Cancer Foundation says, “Apply 1 oz. – about a shot glass full.”
Since many summer activities revolve around water, water-resistant sunblocks are best. If you and the kids are in and out of the pool, the sunscreen’s protection decreases. It is recommended that you avoid any tanning oils or baby oil because like the above factors, they intensify the sun’s damaging effects.
“Depending on how fair or dark your skin is, how long you are out in the sun, and if you are in and out of the water or just relaxing will help to determine how often you should re-apply sunblock,” says Heather, Banana Boat representative. “You should apply sunblock ever half-hour to an hour and use the whole bottle by the end of the day.”
Wear your cool on your sleeve…Hats and protective garments are the
way to go. If you’re planning on being out-side in the sun for an extended period of time, bring along some light-weight cloth-ing and support your favorite team with a cap. Dresses, long-sleeve shirts, skirts, and pants can help to reduce your skin’s expo-sure to the sun. Though many of these items may be permeable, the Sun Protection and Products Guide says, darker-colored garments made from materials like polyes-ter and nylon are the best because they are synthetic and tightly woven.
If you think that you may get too warm wearing much more than a bathing suit in the hot sun, then bring along an extra blan-ket to cover up with. When you’re not dip-ping in the pool or constructing master-pieces in the sand, you can try reading a book under the comfort of an umbrella and a blanket. A blanket (think flat bed sheet) can be a light-weight solution to protection.
Brimmed hats and sunglasses are also essential accessories for the summer. Skin is not the only thing that needs protecting. According to Dr. Linda Butler of Associates in Eye Care in Upstate New York, the sun can damage our eyes just as much as our skin. The sun can cause cataracts, yellow-ing, damage to the retinas, and melanoma of the eyes. “We are only born with two eyes,” Butler says. “It is important that we take simple steps to protect them.”

A newborn begins life by taking in all that is around him learning to recognize faces, voices and smells. As he develops he learns to recognize famil-iar voices, smile at pleasant sounds and touch and cry when uncomfortable, hungry, frightened or lonely. This is the beginning of learning to commu-nicate.
As a child develops, we hear babbling and explor-ing with sounds, see a child use gestures to get needs met and eventually develop the use of words and sentences to communicate with those around him. Most children develop along a similar path and become good communicators as they learn to navi-gate the world around them.
Learning to speak in sentences, speaking clearly
so they can be understood by others and learning to socialize through conversation are all necessary skills for life.
For one reason or another, a child might be delayed in developing speech or language skills and need help from a professional to become a stronger communicator. This is where a speech language pathologist can help through a careful evaluation and development of a plan to improve the communi-cation skill of a child.
Mettowee Valley Speech Therapy Services, PLLC, specializes in working with children and adoles-cents with delayed development, speech impair-ment, learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders. Claudia H. Ellis is a licensed speech lan-
guage pathologist who has operated Mettowee Valley Speech Therapy Services in the Granville area since 1996. The office has been serving chil-dren, adolescents and adults at the Mettowee Street office since February 2002.
Services are provided through programs for chil-dren ages 3-5 with speech and language delays, schools, private insurance and private pay. The office accepts Fideliscare, Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield, CDPHP and GHI/Emblem Health. Questions related to specific concerns can be addressed by calling the office at 518-642-3942 or sending an e-mail to [email protected].
