Colors to keep you cool~

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC's avatarCape Ann Wellness

Cooling colors for summer…

Summer is the season of fire, and there is an increased tendency for arguments, yelling, and getting angry. It is better not to discuss any serious topics during the hot hours of the day, or during very hot days. If you need to make important decisions, do it in the morning or evening when it’s cool.

Dress in cotton (or silk) clothes, and as much as possible avoid colors like red, orange, yellow, and black. Gentle and mild colors help one to stay cool, especially blue, white, green, and purple. After dressing, you can do your worship or meditation practice if it is part of your routine.

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC go to summer color is white…what’s your go to summer color to keep your cool?

Are fishcakes obsolete? __ No. 12 from Al Bezanson

It was 90 years ago this week that COLUMBIA landed a trip of 350,000 pounds of salt cod for Gorton Pew.  According to Gordon Thomas in Fast and Able (1952), it proved to be the last fare of salt fish landed by a Gloucester vessel and taken out at a Gloucester wharf.  We can guess that much of the fare was processed into fish cakes, which at that time had been made famous by Gorton’s, who was running half-page ads in the New York Times for their canned Ready-to-Fry.  “Feed a family for 25¢.  Prepared in a few minutes.” The alternative – start soaking your salt cod the day before yesterday to have fish cakes today.

Elder Abuse Hotline Change

trixy546's avatarCape Ann Community

Beginning Friday, June 30, 2017, the Executive Office of Elder Affairs will centralize the Elder Protective Services abuse reporting system (Elder Abuse Hotline) to a single phone number. The 24/7 single phone number will simplify the process for elder abuse reporting.

All calls (day or night, 7 days a week) will go directly to the Massachusetts-based call center at 1-800-922-2275, regardless of the location of the reporter or the elder. While the initial report intake will be centralized, all reports will continue to be referred to and handled by local Protective Services Agencies for screening, investigation, and service planning.

Beginning June 30, 2017, to report suspected elder abuse, please call the statewide 24-hour hotline at 1-800-922-2275.

More information about Protective Services can be found at www.seniorcareinc.org/services/protective-services.
