Farmer's Markets Are Open

Most Farmers' Markets are now open for the season. They are a great way to find healthy fresh food, support local agriculture and help the environment. As demand for better food has grown so has the number of markets. And many of the markets have become events in themselves with other vendors, music and activities for children. Coventry and Ellington, in particular, are like going to a fair.

In our Health Section we list information on all the Farmers' Markets in our region. Those for which we have 2009 data as of July 1 are indicated.

Business Profile - The Sole Connection, LLC

Reflexology is a form of natural healing which has been practiced for centuries. The entire body is mirrored on the feet through a system of reflex points. The application of gentle stimulation of the reflexes in both feet increases energy. Reflexology promotes relaxation, and encourages the body, mind and soul (spirit) to function optimally.

PAT URBAN is the owner of The Sole Connection, LLC working in Tolland out of Breathe...more, llc. She and her associate MICHELLE BECZ are experienced reflexologists. In addition to extensive training they have studied with several highly regarded specialists. They both serve on the board of directors of the Reflexology Association of Connecticut (RACT), are practicing members of the International Reflexology Association, and are professional members of The Reflexology Association of America (RAA).

Artists' Corner

Our featured artist this month is RAYMOND HARDY. He is an artist, Reiki Master and long time student of shamanic studies. Ray's art focuses on depicting his encounters with the whitetail deer. As his synergistic relationship with his subjects evolves, he discovers that the whitetail can truly be "The Gatekeeper of the Spirit World." He lives and works in Bolton and works only from his own field studies and photographs, thereby creating portraits of individual deer with their own unique story.
