According to the Bread for the World Institute, one in ten households in America is living in hunger or at risk of hunger, affecting 13 million chil- dren. Tues., June 7 was National Hunger Awareness Day, a grass roots movement to raise awareness about the solvable problem of hunger in America. In a five-state region, ShopRite Partners in Caring, a year-round community based hunger-fighting program, food giant General Mills and members of the community have teamed up to raise awareness and funds in an effort to combat hunger. Locally, the Warwick ShopRite Partners in Caring program is “committed to helping feed and meet the nutritional needs of families and the elderly who may otherwise go without.” By involving the entire Warwick community, ShopRite will help provide food and funds to local food pantries in an effort to fight hunger right here at home. On Thurs., June 9, ShopRite Partners in Caring held a breakfast meeting at the store on Route 94 to present their plans, some already in progress, for this year’s drive to help the hungry.

The Ketchum House is the only example of a Federal- style building in the village and even in the entire township of Warwick and is considered to be the result of the time Mr. Ketchum spent in Manhattan. The house has a floor plan similar to that of a typical Manhattan brownstone, which is what makes it so unique. Twilight Tour guests will be treated to a tour of the house and garden by Historical Society curator Michael Bertolini, after which light refreshments and wine will be served, with a musical performance by the Synergy Group of Warwick Valley High School.

Mindful Living Inside Out

By Dr. Richard Greendyk Incredibly, the gut or intestinal tract is a tube, approximately twenty-five to twenty- seven feet long, outside our bodies, which begins at our mouth and ends at our anus. How can it be outside our bodies? During early embryology when the fetus is being formed in the womb, the opposite edges of a multiple layer of cells fold around and come together to form the gut tube, much like forming a cylindrical tube from a flat piece of paper. Imagine several donuts stacked on top of themselves. The tube formed by the donuts represents our gut or intestinal tract and the insides of the donuts correspond to what eventually become the cells, tissues, and organs of our body. And just as our body has an outside skin, so its inside relative is our intestinal tract wall. This is an extremely impor- tant concept, and why? Take a few short moments to analyze how we respond to our external environment. Utilizing the five senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, we monitor everything that goes on around us, integrating information via our central nervous system and responding appropriately. Think back to your body’s reaction when hearing the cry of a child obvi- ously in distress, or the screech of tires on pavement in close proximity to your own vehi- cle. Your heart, your lungs, your muscles, indeed,all necessary systems immediately jump into action to get done what has to be done, and you do it almost without thinking! Likewise the gut, because, in reality, it is outside the body, has an amazing monitoring system almost as complex as that for our external environment. Housed in our intestinal tract wall, and extending from the esophagus to the anus, is the intrinsic nervous system, comprised of as many neurons or nerve cells as our peripheral nervous system. In addi- tion, a remarkable seventy percent of our immune system is concentrated around our intestinal tract. Connecting this all together is a neuro-endocrine/hormonal system rival- ing or even surpassing any communication technology available today. Finally, this entire elaborate system, affectionately called the “gut-brain,” is linked to our master control cen- ter, the brain, by an intricate series of nerves, originating in the brain stem and spinal cord, called the autonomic nervous system. So, via this system, our external environment can talk to our internal environment and the latter can talk to the former in ways which can, at times, be somewhat embarrassing (read: burping, flatulence. etc.) Of major concern here is the language initiated by our gut. High quality language and the resultant positive messages can, through the gut-brain, immune system and neuro-endocrine system, have positive effects on all of our organs. Low quality language and messages have just the opposite effect, producing negative health outcomes not the least of which can be systemic inflammation, the underpinning of all our degenerative diseases. This brings us to the point of our entire article. What can we do personally to reduce systemic inflammation? There is a vast array of strategies available, many of which will be covered in future articles, but today we wish to focus on proper rest or sleep, its effect on our intestinal tract, and ultimately systemic Arts Community Grant inflammation.
