The Carlton Times
What weighs about three pounds, is shaped like a football, and although it is an essential part of dailylife, doesn't typically get much attention? If you guessed a healthy, functioning liver, you are right.
The liver is one of several organs within the body that works to clean toxins from inside. At any moment,it can have up to 10 percent of your blood inside as it filters the toxins out. Located on the right side ofthe body, the liver rests just under the ribcage. It is unique in that while it is one of the largest organsinside the body, it is the only part of you that can regenerate if damaged, or partially removed from thebody.
Some may say that you would know right away if there was a problem with your liver, but doctors willtell you that this is not true. Liver disease is a slow-to-show condition that can affect your body for yearswithout any outward signs. Noticeable symptoms of liver disease or damage include dark urine, jaundice(yellowing of the skin or eyes), and swelling in the belly.
Conditions that affect the liver include hepatitis. There are three forms of hepatitis, two of which havevaccines. Hepatitis A is typically spread through contact with fecal matter, while Hepatitis B is spreadthrough contact with bodily fluids, and can be passed from mother to child during birth. Hepatitis Cspreads through contact with the blood of an infected individual.
There are steps that you can take to prevent these conditions and other damage to your liver. TheAmerican Liver Foundation suggests that individuals maintain a healthy weight and diet, use alcoholresponsibly, avoid the use of illicit drugs and avoid contact with needles. The organization urges peopleto get Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines. There is no vaccination for Hepatitis C.

A Healthy Liver OffersQuality of Life
Chicken feed produced a golden egg for one Illinois candy company.
Back in 1900, Gustav Goelitz's Confectionery Company produced and sold candy corn as chickenfeed. Goelitz marketed the candy in a box branded with a rooster and the tagline: "Something toCrow About." It caught on.
According to the Goelitz website, the candy was such a success, it "carried the company throughtwo World Wars and the Depression," and saved it from bankruptcy. More than 100 years later,the fourth Goelitz generation is still selling the identical candy and recipe, although the companychanged its name to Jelly Belly Candy after its primary candy product. In honor of its roots, itdeveloped a candy corn-flavored jelly bean.
Candy corn is still a favorite Halloween treat, only it has slipped one notch to second place, withanything chocolate taking the number one honors. Manufacturers produced 9 billion pieces ofcandy corn in 2015; that's 35 million pounds. One serving amounts to 140 calories (3mini-Hershey bars); a single piece is around 3.57 calories. In case you are wondering, there is apreferred way to eat the corn. According to a survey by the National Confectioners Association,43 percent start with the narrow white end. About 10 percent begin eating the wider yellow endfirst. Companies are tinkering with the candy corn recipe and trying new flavors, like caramelapple, caramel popcorn, and cinnamon. The Zachary Confections company (sells to retail storeslike Target) makes 12 varieties, including blackberry cobbler, raspberry lemonade, cherry andpumpkin spice.
Candy corn has made its way into Oreos, M&Ms, coffee, bagels, and even a martini.

A Poem Shared By Helen AugustOde By Arthur O'ShaughnessyWe are the music-makers,And we are the dreamers of dreams,Wandering by lone sea-breakersAnd sitting by desolate streams;World losers and world forsakers,On whom the pale moon gleams:Yet we are the movers and shakersOf the world for ever, it seems.With wonderful deathless dittiesWe build up the world’s great cities.And out of a fabulous storyWe fashion an empire’s glory:One man with a dream, at pleasure,Shall go forth and conquer a crown;

Resident spotlight is a new addition to our monthly newsletter.If you are interested in being featured please see Veronica or Amber L.
Resident Spotlight- Jim Helt
Little Jimmy was born in St. Paul, MN on March 3, 1940, living in the Midwest for 22 years.Soon after graduating from Northern Iowa University, I enlisted in the Officer TrainingProgram of the US Air Force, becoming a Computer Officer. I am a Viet Nam War vet.During my tour many thoughts about war and its ramifications kept spinning through my head,making me think profoundly -right/wrong, war/peace. My work life was varied - publicaccounting, military, Franciscan brother, Meals on Wheels coordinator, Assistant to the ChiefAccountant at Providence Hospital. Being a native Midwesterner my favorite foods includebaked walleyed pike filets from Minnesota lakes, freshly picked garden vegetables - whitecorn, juicy tomatoes,crisp romaine lettuce, Muscatine seedless, red-ripened watermelon, andsilky smooth, saffron gelato.
I highly value communicating with people, forming new, lasting friendships and talking eye-to-eye, heart-to-heart. The face is where it all happens. Wrinkles tell the stories of our lives.All are beautiful from the deep red Betel-juiced teeth and lips of the widow in Viet Nam to thedisfigured countenance of an outcast leper in Iran. Traveling is my passion. Meeting ordinarypeople native to a place, absorbing their culture, visiting their homes, witnessing their lives,communicating ideas, accepting generous hospitality, is my way to learn. One of my mostmemorable trips was traveling for 11 months by myself through Europe, the Middle East, andAsia with only a backpack and sleeping bag. I learned much about myself and the world.What incredible stories!Another series of 4 trips brought me back to Viet Nam, for healing,forgiveness, and reconciliation for my time in the war. The first trip was a spiritual journeywith 6 other vets who had severe scars of war. We created rituals at the sites where we hadserved - highly emotional, an attempt to heal. We met with former enemies - VC and NorthVietnamese - and ate meals prepared by our hosts, including fresh fish cooked in flamingstraw bales, later singing - alternating a Vietnamese traditional song, then an American folksong - such camaraderie and laughter. The Buddhist practice of forgiveness flowed withunbridled joy. What a precious gift.

– Dr. Wayne DyerAs I listen to people, it’s clear that trauma and crisis abound in our collective lives. Some have a strongfaith in God on which to cling while others do not. Even when we do, an inspirational line or tworemembered or written is helpful when we’re struggling to achieve peace of mind. This month I’ve focusedon a few of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s “Inner Peace” cards. Read through some of them, select those that speakto you, examine why it does, and decide how you will apply it to your life.
Happiness, fulfillment, and purpose in life are all inner concepts. If you don’t have INNER PEACEAND SERENITY, then you have nothing.
You can reshape your thinking so that you never have to think in negatives again. You and only youchoose your thoughts.
Don’t equate your self-worth with how well you do things in life. You aren’t what you do. If you are whatyou do, then when you don’t---you aren’t!
No one can depress you. No one can make you anxious. No one can hurt your feelings. No one can makeyou anything other than what you allow inside.
Forgiveness is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself on the spiritual path. If you can’t learnto forgive, you can forget about getting to higher levels of awareness.
Stop focusing on what you do not have, and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all that youARE and all that you DO have.
If you are suffering in your life right now, I can guarantee that this condition is tied up with some kindof attachment to how things SHOULD be going.
One of the HIGHEST PLACES you can get to is to be INDEPENDENT of the good opinions of otherpeople.
Most people are SEARCHING for happiness OUTSIDE of THEMSELVES. That’s a fundamentalmistake. Happiness is something that you ARE and it comes from THE WAY THAT YOU THINK.
You’re always alone, but you’re only lonely if you don’t like the person you’re alone with. Think positivethoughts and do high-esteem self-talk.
