There’s a new club in town! The Rotary Club of Haddam-Killingworth was chartered by Rotary International just two days after the First Annual Indian Fiesta Fundraiser held at Parmelee Farm on June 28th. The journey began on January 20th when four Clinton Rotarians, two from Killingworth and two from Madison, held an informal meet and greet at the Killingworth Public Library. Rotary District Leaders Mukund Nori, Rick Bassett and Rupi Rupwani shared their

experiences about Rotary International projects such as Polio Plus, Shelterbox and Rotary Peace Fellows. Presidents and members from other local clubs spoke with potential members about AMBER Alert, Warm the Children and food drives.

Health is undoubtedly one’s greatest asset; unfortunately many perceive health as simply “feeling good”. If that were indeed true, one would be healthy until a symptom is felt.

In 1946, the World Health Organization gave an official defini-tion to health: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

Each and every function of the body originates from the brain. It sends messages on how to heal and function down the spinal cord, over nerves, and to every single organ and tissue in the body. The spine is made up of 24 moveable vertebrae surround-ing and protecting the spinal cord and nerves. The spine’s most vital role is that of protecting the spinal cord and the nerves that exit between each vertebra. Each nerve serves a purpose in the function of the body, including sensory feedback to the body, controlling body movements via musculature, and providing function to organs.

Like a circuit breaker in your house, if a circuit is tripped, anything on the other side of that circuit does not function. Similar is a nerve, when a nerve is damaged, whatever is on the other side cannot function and heal as it is designed to.

Nerves can be irritated or damaged in numerous ways. One way the nerves get damaged is called sublux-

ation. Subluxation is when one or more of the vertebrae move from their normal position and irritate, impinge, or damage a nerve altering its neurologic communi-cation from brain to body. Subluxations can occur from things such as traumas, falls, automobile accidents, repetitive injury such as years performing computer work, manual labor and even a child at play. Chiropractic is the practice of locating, detecting and correcting subluxations. Chiropractors diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, under the belief that these disorders affect general health via the

nervous system.When visiting a chiropractor, it is paramount that the

doctor does a thorough history and examination, often consisting of orthopedic testing, to identify the causative factor of your health problems. Other tools that are helpful in identifying the causative factor include computerized nerve and muscle testing, as well as X-rays which allow your doctor to see inside your spine for things such as arthritis, curvatures, and misalignments of the neck, shoulders, and pelvis. Once subluxations are identified, re-moving or reducing them by spinal adjustments are critical to restore proper brain to body function and overall health.

The Back Story on Good HealthBy Dr. Keith Mirante

with members from Haddam, Killingworth and Madison continued to spread the good word of Rotary. Over the next three months, new members came to meetings at the Killingworth Library, La Foresta Restaurant and Chatfield Hollow Bed and Breakfast and sought information at the Higganum Farmer’s Market. Fittingly, it was at the first Parmelee Farm Market as club members registered chil-dren for the AMBER Alert Child ID program that the 20th member joined, making the Club eligible to be chartered. The Club plans to donate all of the proceeds from the Indian Fiesta Dinner to international and local literacy projects. A portion will be donated to the Killingworth Library, Brainerd Library, The Dictionary Project to provide

dictionaries to all third grade students in both towns and the remainder will be used to fight illiteracy in India. The club will partner with the Bangalore Rotary Club for this international project. The Rotary Club of Haddam-Killingworth joins 1.2 million neighbors, friends and community leaders in 35,072 clubs in over 200 countries who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities and around the world.

When it comes to choosing a childcare center for your child you are faced with many options. Is a home daycare or center the right choice for your family? Do you want something close to your home or work? Do you want a school setting with individual classrooms for each age group? I rec-ommend exploring both home centers and childcare centers to see which fits your needs best. The next step would be to do some research. You can find centers in your area by calling the 211 info line. They will be able to provide you with a list of licensed centers in your area. Ask friends and co-workers for recommendations. Once you have narrowed down your search of the centers you wish to visit, there are a few questions you should ask:

1. What are the centers hours of operation, what holidays are they closed, do they close for inclement weather, and is there a vacation credit?

2. What are the tuition costs, do they offer part time, do they accept credit cards?

3. What is the student to teacher ratio?

4. What does a typical day look like for your child (the classroom schedule)?

5. Does the program offer a curricu-lum that is developmentally appropriate for each age group?

6. What are the centers policies on discipline, feeding, and sleeping?

7. What are the teacher’s qualifica-tions and are they first aid and CPR certified?

8. Are the teachers certified to administer medication?

You should always take notes while visiting a center. Ask for a copy of their policies and tuition costs. Feel free to follow up with a second visit at a different time of the day. Parents should always go with their instincts when choosing the right center for their family.

Killingworth resident and Chamber Member Amy Etra is a professional photographer who specializes in the creative capture of people in all kinds of settings. Her goal is to bring out the best in all her subjects and she claims there is no one she can’t get to relax in front of her lens. Below she shares some tips on how you can make the best of your photos too – • Don’t shoot into the sun, try to have it behind you.

When indoors, don’t shoot directly into a window with people in front of it. Turn the group around so the sun or window light is falling on them. It’s important to keep your light source behind you.  

• Try different angles.  Don’t just stand in front of a beautiful beach, kneel or sit down to get a low angle….wait for the waves to roll in…changing your perspective changes the whole photograph.  Use your tilt out screen viewer for great low angle shots without sitting on the ground.  

• The best times of day to shoot are early morning and late afternoon….also dusk. If you have a telephoto lens try shooting as wide as it will go, meaning F/2.8, 4.0, 5.6 NOT f/22 or 16/11/8. You want what is called “bokeh”, which refers to the background being out of focus. When you capture the bokeh, soft dreamy things happen.

• The new iPhone 6 has an incredible camera. The color rendition is gorgeous and if you can get the extra-large one the screen is much bigger than that of a regular camera.  

• If you are in a low light situation, find a surface like a table or chair to rest the camera on to minimize camera shake which gives you blurry photos.

• If you love a particular view – water, mountain, an old farmhouse by the side of the road – visit it at two different times of day. You’ll be amazed at the different perspectives.

People shots for those reunions! Everyone brings the camera to eye level and clicks. You get half the ceiling and half of the group. Be aware of ceiling and point camera down a bit. Even better, stand on a chair and shoot down. That way you can see everyone in the group and looking up helps eliminate double chins. Talk to your subjects….even better, make a few jokes with them. For women, it’s nice if they put a hand on their hip, it gives their arm a nicer shape. Turn some people slightly in towards the center of your photo (makes photo less wide). Remember to tell your subjects in a group they must be able to see the camera or they will NOT be in the photo. People tend to hide in the back, so stand on a chair and shoot down on people. Watch your backgrounds…you don’t want things coming up out of people’s heads. Keep the sun or light source behind you always – I repeat it because it is important. Last but not least – Shoot a lot…digital is free! The more shots you take, the better the chance of getting

the perfect photo. To see some of Amy’s work, visit www.amyetra.com. She can be reached at (860)575-0831.

New Transfer Station stickers. You have one more month to get new, purple dump stickers. After August 29, the blue ones will no longer be accepted. New stickers are available at Town Hall from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and at the Transfer Station itself during its normal hours of operation, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Saturdays,

8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. You may download and print the application ahead of time at townofkillingworth.com; go to the Town Services pull-down menu and click on Transfer Station.) Be sure to bring your vehicle registration in with your application. Residents are entitled to stickers for two vehicles per household. Please note, though, that having a sticker does not entitle you to dispose of trash and debris generated outside of Killingworth. If you have a business that gener-ates waste—regular trash or bulky waste, including con-struction debris—outside of town, please be fair to your Killingworth neighbors and arrange for legal disposal. Road progress. An update on state and local road construction in Killingworth: Route 148. Work is on schedule as of this writing. In August, Route 148 will be closed to all traffic just west of Little City Road. Although the official detour is on state roads, you are free to use local roads where convenient.

Parker Hill Road and Parker Hill Road Extension. Please look out for raised catch basins. The road will be resurfaced in September; until then, the new catch basins that are in place will be higher than the surrounding road. Burr Hill Road. In mid-August, we expect to begin work on safety improvements and resurfacing of Burr Hill Road between Route 148 and Schnoor. To keep the disruption as brief as possible, about one-third of a mile of the road, starting at Rt. 148, will be closed to all but local traffic during reclamation. As always, we will send email updates about road closures to everyone who has signed up for notifications. To receive these and other notifications, go to townofkillingworth.com and click on “Email Sign-Up.” Volunteers Needed. Several town committees are looking for members. Among those with openings are the Public Health Agency, the Energy Task Force, the Open Space Committee, and the Conservation Commission. Serving on town committees is an opportunity to work with other citizens who are dedicated to having a positive impact on Killingworth’s future. If you would like more information, please contact my office at 860-663-1765, ext. 501. Coffee with the First Selectwoman. I’ll continue with Thursday morning coffees this summer: August 6, Copper Skillet; August 13, Dunkin Donuts; August 20, Cozy Corner. I look forward to seeing you there!

Cora Marica Receives Service Award Cora Marica was designated as the 2015 recipient of the Connie Bombaci Service Award during the Haddam-Killingworth High School’s Senior Awards Ceremony on June 8th. This Award was established by the former Superin-tendent and the Board of Education in 2006 as a means to recognize Mrs. Bombaci’s exceptional service to the school district over her seven-teen years of commitment and devotion to the students, staff and H-K community. This annual award is presented to a member of the graduat-ing class who has demonstrated significant and genuine dedication to voluntary service to the Haddam-Killingworth High School and its com-munity as selected by the Bombaci family and its committee. It was Mrs. Bombaci’s belief that all students learn to give back to their school and community for all that they have received, and this Award’s purpose is to ensure that the heart of “paying it forward” will continue to be present in our high school for many years to come. This year’s award was presented to Cora Marica who dedicated herself to helping others with activities such as working with young children at the library, volunteering at Haddam Elementary School, mentoring young players in volleyball, working on the HK TV Holiday Show (a tradition

established by Mrs. Bombaci in 1989 as a way for her TV Production students to involve the entire HK community in helping others), participating in Relay for Life, and helping to build a home with Habitat for Humanity.

Library Call for VolunteersLooking for a way to give back to the community? Want to work in

a vibrant, friendly atmosphere, with many opportunities to network with fellow Killingworth residents? The library is opening the call for more volunteers to work at our circulation desk.

Desk shifts include substitute opportunities and – when they open up – regular 3 ¼ hour shifts, once a week. We are currently in need of a volunteer to work two non-consecutive Saturday mornings in every month.

If you are comfortable with computers and enjoy working with the public, the library may be the perfect fit for you! Please contact Head Librarian Tammy Eustis if interested, or if you have any questions.

Killingworth Library Book & Bake SaleNeed some new reads for the hammock? Thinking about starting

fall projects or even squirreling away reading material for fall and winter? Whether you’re looking for fiction or non-fiction, hardcover or softcover, cookbooks or history books, the Killingworth Library’s next book sale on Saturday, August 8th is guaranteed to fulfill your quest. See you at the sale which takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Killingworth Library.

As always, every sale is different. Our August sale is going to feature an excellent collection of over 300 history books. The collection covers a wide range of geographical regions, time periods and subjects. We also have over 200 cookbooks of all types and two boxes of sheet music from the sixties, seventies and eighties.

Along with the Killingworth Library Book Sale, there will be a Bake Sale. A variety of cookies, cakes and sweet loafs will be offered for sale until the goodies run out. Come and satisfy your sweet tooth!

“Dreamland”, by Kevin Baker, is the historical novel being discussed at the August 11 Killingworth Library Tuesday Book Discussion group. It is a raucous look at turn of the century New York, its weird criminal underbelly and the many fascinations of Coney Island. Characters include Eastern European immigrants, feminist labor organizers, and politicians of dubious habits. Historical events such as the Triangle Shirt Factory Fire are vividly portrayed. Discussion begins at 1 p.m. in the library meeting room and newcomers are welcome. Books can be found at the circulation desk.

Millions of Americans fall victim to identity theft each year – and their financial losses are in the billions. In 2012, an estimated 16.6 million Americans experienced identity theft, causing losses of $24.7 billion. What can you do to help reduce your chances of having your iden-tity stolen? The steps below

can help you prevent significant losses. Check your credit reports every year. You have the right to obtain a free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each of the three credit reporting bureaus – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Check thoroughly to ensure that there aren’t any unidentified accounts on your report. Place a freeze on your credit reports. This can help stop an identity thief from opening a credit card account under your name. You simply contact the three credit bureaus and request a credit freeze. This prevents lend-ers who don’t already have a relationship with you from viewing your credit report. If they can’t access your credit report, they won’t issue a new account. There is often a fee to request a freeze, depending on your state of resi-dence and whether you’ve ever been the victim of identity theft in the past. Monitor your email. You want to be on the lookout for phishing scams, particularly those that appear to come from a credit card company, bank, retailer, or anyone else

you do business with. Many of these emails will direct you to a phony website that will ask you to input sensitive data, such as your account numbers, passwords, and Social Security number. Be careful online. When banking or shopping online, be sure to use websites that protect your financial informa-tion with encryption, particularly if you are using a public wireless network via a smartphone. Sites that are encrypt-ed start with “https.” The “s” stands for secure. Also be sure to use anti-virus and anti-spyware software. What do you do if your identity is stolen? First, call one of the three credit bureaus and ask them to place a 90-day fraud alert on your credit report. They must contact the other two bureaus to place fraud alerts on your reports. You also want to get a copy of all three credit reports. Second, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commis-sion (FTC). You’ll create an FTC Affidavit, which you should then take to your local police department and file a police report. Your copy of the FTC Affidavit and the police report make up an Identity Theft Report, which can help you:• Get fraudulent information removed from your

credit report.• Stop companies from collecting debts caused by the

theft.• Get information about accounts that were illegally

opened in your name.

PAMELA MURPHY, DO

THE DOCTOR IS IN is geared toward answering general health concern questions. Local Physician Pamela Murphy, DO will answer one question each month. If you have a health and wellness question you would like discussed, please e-mail the Killingworth Krier at [email protected] with THE DOCTOR IS IN in your subject line.

All questions will remain anonymous.

The Doctor Is In

The internet is full of good and bad information for all topics. It’s important to know a “trusted” or “reliable” source. Years ago it was a little easier with print as you could identify an author, publisher or the references for the information supplied. Not so with search engines, like Google or Yahoo as they don’t automatically give you the best options listed first, and where the information was obtained is not always included. As far as medical searches are concerned this is especially true. Your best source of information is your doctor and/or pharmacist, or other health care provider. Usually they can direct you to valuable and reputable sources of information on the internet. Look out for blogs as you will get an individual’s opinion or experience and it is not necessarily valid information.

There is an excellent website for natural or herbal products – natural medicines consumer version – where they have tested the products that they list for validity and safety. This is not a prescription, but if you are into those products, this is an excellent source. The National Institute of Health (NIH) also has a link for natural medi-cines as well. The NIH can be a good website for medical information, along with the American Diabetic Association, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, American Academy of Family Practice, to name a few.

Be careful when looking up symptoms as you will find a list a mile long of possibilities including ominous and rare possibilities. You should not try and self-diagnose, as medical decision making is more than just listing symptoms and then picking from a list of possibilities. Your provider has been trained and educated in eliciting from a person important clues and then combined with a physical exam, deciding on possible diagnoses. Sometimes this is very straightforward and at other times it can be complicated. This is a process that their education, training and practice have prepared them to do. Remember that not everything you hear or read is true, especially on the internet!

Happy couples differ from unhappy couples in countless ways. One of the most important is what they say to each other. Specifically, there are three things that happy couples say to each other frequently that unhappy couples almost never say: 1) “Thank you for doing x,” 2) “I’m sorry I did y,” and 3) “I admire you for z.” People in unhappy couples say there is nothing to thank, they regret no actions of their own, and there is nothing to admire in their partner. I regard this as willful blindness. In my 70 years, 40 as

a psychologist, I’ve never known anyone who did not deserve my thanks for something. And every time I congratulate myself for being generous I suddenly realize something selfish I’ve recently done. And, finally, if I think hard, I can find something I admire in everyone I know.

It is not easy to make these statements because they are self-effacing. But they are extremely powerful. They lift people up. They empower others to be their full selves. This is what happens in happy couples.

Killingworth residents are advised that there are a few guidelines that need to be followed when selling eggs di-rectly to consumers. The State Department of Agriculture has developed the following guidelines for residents who sell eggs directly to the consumer: • Eggs are to be held at 45 degrees Fahrenheit or less. • When a commercial carton (say one from a grocery

store) is re-used, the carton must be modified as follows: USDA shield must be obliterated. Original plant code, expiration/sell by date must be obliterated. Original trade name/address must be obliterated

• The name and address of the resident producer and a phone number to receive complaints must be included on the carton and clearly legible

• The following statement must be legible on the carton, “SAFE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS: To prevent illness from bacteria: keep eggs refrigerated, cook eggs until yolks are firm, and cook foods containing eggs thoroughly”

• The surface of the egg should be cleaned in an approved manner (e.g. brushed lightly) that will remove dirt and debris without damaging the egg’s natural coating

Residents selling eggs to the consumer are exempt from having to grade and size shell eggs and are not required to put a net weight on the carton. Please contact the Killingworth Health Department at (860) 663-1765 x223 or [email protected], should you have any questions or need any additional information.

Taco Salad

WHAT’S Cooking In KILLINGWORTH

We loved this recipe for hot summer nights around the pool. Make it early in the day when it’s cool and come supper time you have a real good meal without heating up the kitchen or a grill.

Ingredients:1 ½ lbs. HamburgerTaco Spice Mix – 2 packages2 large tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 pepper, diced1 can red kidney beans, drained1 pkg shredded Cheddar and 1 pkg shredded Monterey Jack CheeseCatalina, Ranch or French dressingShredded Lettuce of your choiceTaco chips, crumbled

Cook the hamburger. After you have drained off the fat, add Taco Spice mix. Then add tomatoes, onion, pepper, and kidney beans to hamburger mixture. Add cheese only after the hamburger mixture is cool enough to not melt the cheese. Add dressing, chill. Even better when mixture can blend overnight for flavor! To serve, place mixture on top of shredded lettuce. Crumble up some taco chips and sprinkle on top. – ENJOY!

Variations: • This dish is also great served warm – simply reheat the

meat and veggie mixture just before serving over lettuce. • Onion can be sautéed with the hamburger at the

beginning of prep if you don’t like raw onion. • Dressing can be sprinkled on top just before serving if

you prefer not to add to mixture before refrigeration. • Avocado, chopped black olives, jalapenos or a dab of

sour cream are also a great topping addition.

Shared Harvest Garden at Parmelee Farm

The Shared Harvest Garden Market opened July 9th and will be open every Thursday from 4-6 p.m. through the growing season. Shared Harvest Garden started last year through the work of community volunteers who farm a 5000 square foot garden in the back of Parmelee Community Gardens to provide free, fresh seasonal produce to our community and local soup pantries.

The garden also provides an opportunity for community members to get involved, learn about gardening and offer their expertise as well. This year the Girl Scouts are growing flowers for the nosegays that were a big hit last year. Watch for signs at the Farm and come visit! For information, contact [email protected]. See you at the farm!

Review - Chatfield Hollow Bed & Breakfast“Chatfield Hollow B & B is a little piece of Heaven. We raised our family in Killingworth and returned last month to visit. The setting is quiet and serene, the perfect relaxing get-away. Peepers and frogs serenade you to sleep at night and the hospitality is unbeatable, the food delicious, the grounds beautifully planted and immaculate. All of that is within minutes of everything Killingworth now has to offer, including a new gourmet restaurant, La Foresta. This was the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had, just a stones throw from our old homestead.“ - Pattie and Dennis Peoples, Melbourne, FL
