Viagra, although initially studied for other issues, was approved for and widely marketed as the answer to erectile dysfunction (ED). The increase in blood flow to the genitals was actually a side effect of the medication. The marketing and sales of Viagra was a huge money maker and the medication gained worldwide prominence within a few short months of its approval.
Several years ago, Bruno Loehrer purchased the remains of an old dairy barn on Elm Lake in the town of Greenville near Middletown. As he explains, “Surrounded by wetlands and wildlife, I engaged local talent to renovate and create a new home. Keeping the same footprint as the original barn, we maintained the historical structure. With the use of modern equipment we were able to raise the oak beam structure and all the original beams now support the barn as they did after the first raising over 200 years ago. I have turned it into an art gallery atmosphere where artists, art lovers, collectors, local patrons or for that matter anyone from anywhere can meet, relax, show their work or view what is exhibiting.”
The Barn debut of Art at Elm Lake launches with the opening reception showing three local artists Daniela Cooney, George Centamore and Joan Kehlenbeck on Sept 21 and 22 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. The artists will be present during the reception, so it is a must see event. The following exhibit on October 19 and 20 will be showcasing Eugen Meier from Zurich, Switzerland who will be present to meet the community. “We extend an open invitation to all and hope you will join us,” says Loeher.
Location: 2 Decker Dr., Town of Greenville, Middletown. For more information, visit TheBarn-Art.com or call 697-4291.
Caring for your children’s teeth is a key part of their overall health and wellbeing. Many parents wonder when to start dental care for their children. It actually should start well before the first tooth appears.
Whether you’re a new parent or a seasoned veteran, there’s a good chance that at some point during your child’s life you’ve wished for better ways to help your child deal with their medical and academic challenges. Common concerns include helping your child fall asleep, stop a bad habit or perform better in school. Many of the medications used to manage your child’s symptoms may cause drowsiness, nausea or other side effects. Luckily, hypnosis has no side effects. It has been around since ancient times and the tools have been employed by American doctors and dentists since the 1950’s.

Taking time for ourselves on a regular basis—or creating a solitude practice—is essential for our peace of mind. It allows us a few moments a day to recharge our soul’s batteries so that we can give back to our loved ones more fully. Beginning a solitude practice isn’t just for adults; it’s also an essential self-esteem-building tool for children. When kids learn to honor their deepest selves and validate who they truly are, they are more likely to face challenges and conflicts with a solid foundation of self-awareness—an understanding of what feels right or wrong to them. Everyone in your household—individual partners and children alike—can incorporate alone time into their lives as a regular practice. Here’s how:

There is a lot to be said about children's health and wellness. First, let's talk about the basics. Good nutrition and lots of sleep are two key elements to children's health. Family time and socialization with friends and peers also is essential. These basics are preferable to a sedentary life style with electronics, poor diet and few activities that stimulate the mind and the body.
