Featuring masterpieces by J.S. Bach, François Couperin, George Frederick Handel, Girolamo Frescobaldi, and Domenico Scarlatti, this program will satisfy every taste and highlight the passion and refinement composers of the baroque brought to the instrument. Harpsichordist Stephen Gamboa-Diaz is a performer of extreme expressivity and nuance. Currently based in New Haven, Stephen is a recent recipient of the Artist Diploma from the Yale School of Music and has been serving Saint Ann’s as Organist and Choir Director since July. He also is Instructor of Music Theory at the Music Conservatory of Westchester. Increasingly in demand as a soloist and chamber musician, he has recently performed with the New Haven-based American Baroque Orchestra, Yale’s Schola Cantorum, Heartbeat Opera and Cantata Profana in New York, and as a featured artist in Concora’s Clavierfest benefit in Hartford. He was a laureate of the 2012 Westfield International Harpsicord Competition, and his harpsichord duo Zweikampf was a finalist in Early Music America’s inaugural Baroque Performance Competition. Stephen completed his undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley under Davitt Moroney and Charlene Brendler, and his graduate work under Arthur Haas at SUNY Stony Brook. A suggested donation of $10.00 will support Saint Ann’s concert programs. The performance will begin at 4:00; doors open at 3:30. Audience members are invited to meet Stephen at a reception following the concert. Saint Ann’s is an Episcopal parish in Old Lyme, CT, that welcomes all visitors to this family-friendly event.

Uranus, currently retrograde in your sign is a major player in this configuration together with Jupiter and Pluto, plus a number of other planets at various points. Uranus is a distant body that takes several years to pass through each sector of the zodiac. It symbolises change; so with another twenty-eight months still remaining of its visit, there is further for you to go along a journey that began in 2010. By the time these trends have run their course entirely, it is hard for you to recognise the person you once were. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Since the Moon’s orbit is actually an ellipse, its distance from us varies by so much as 12.5%, or one eighth in comparative terms. When a full moon occurs within an arbitrary 90% of the Moon’s perigee or closest approach to us, it looks slightly bigger and brighter, so is widely referred to as a supermoon. But an extreme supermoon, needs to take place either at mean perigee or even nearer to the Earth, thus the full moon in your sign on November 14, is the first to qualify since March 2011. The biggest event in your sign for some years, marks a point of culmination and review, impacting on your whole emotional outlook. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) Relationships continue in the spotlight throughout November as the Sun and Mercury reach your opposite sign, while Venus stays nearby. Jupiter remains in a part of the sky symbolising romance, so those who are single and looking for a mate, can position themselves amid these trends. Educational, religious or community activities offer a fruitful reservoir of likely partners, especially if you can combine a creative or leisure pursuit and make it all great fun. Similarly, emphasise the lighter side of life in any existing associations. Think about what brought you together in the first instance, not purely your duties nowadays. CANCER (June 20 - July 22) Your sign is linked naturally with the Moon. Just like our satellite waxes and wanes on a daily basis, so your mood is prone to fluctuation with your feelings about others too. Although this manifests primarily on a private and emotional level, any subsequent fallout is easier to spot as November proves to be an exceptional month. At 356,536 kilometres, the Moon comes closer to us than at any point since 1948, so it’s the event of a lifetime for everybody not yet in their late sixties. You are bound to feel more emotional around November 14, especially since the full moon happens only a couple of hours after the main event. LEO (July 23- August 22) Lunacy, lunatic, moonstruck, mood and honeymoon are words acknowledging the strength of the Moon. It seems surprising that your ruler the Sun, without which there would be no life on Earth, attracts such limited homage in comparison. Sunny or sunnily describe its effects on how we feel; but sun-baked, sunblock, sunburn and sunstroke don’t really count, since their implications are purely practical and often rather negative. As the Moon gets the closest to us that it has been in sixty-eight years, so November is a good month for you to take a back seat, while you concentrate on domestic, personal and family matters. VIRGO (Aug. 23- Sept. 22) The last time an extreme supermoon occurred was more than five years ago, when the full moon lit up the sky within an hour of the lunar perigee, a technical term for its closest approach to the Earth. This month the gap between these two events is a little longer but the Moon is correspondingly closer, as if to compensate for the discrepancy. During November 2016 the full moon highlights Taurus, but last time it was in your sign and in two years from now, a similar scenario occurs with Cancer as the focal point. To imagine the concerns of everyone else inevitably take priority over your own, is not a sustainable concept. By Paul Wade -The Astrology Wizard LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Jupiter’s impact is modified between now and next April, by Uranus and Pluto as well. The former emphasises your closest relationships, while the latter impacts on your family affairs and life at home, so an obvious link exists between them. Both have meant a number of changes, stretching back so far as eight years ago, causing you to isolate yourself in some ways, while you’ve tackled and addressed certain private and intensely personal concerns. You have come a long way, but who really knows the full extent of your progress? Belonging isn’t just about where you live, but questions your place in society too. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21) People get annoyed when situations don’t change so swiftly as they’d like. But many planets are way out in the solar system and take forever to go around the Sun. Although sometimes precipitated by one memorable event: like a relationship, new baby, a promotion or moving house, their consequences can take years to settle rather than mere weeks or months. Looking back, your life has been punctuated by a number of distinct phases that comprise different chapters of your history. Making sense of this pattern is difficult but schools of thought exist to offer a perspective and tools to unravel the purpose of it all. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) Although Venus leaves your sign it spends the remainder of this month in your money zone, a sector where it naturally feels comfortable. This means the worst of your financial woes are alleviated in the shorter term, while progress made in partnership or through close cooperation with your colleagues, proves the most profitable. And regardless, you’re in the spotlight anyway as the Sun, Mercury and ultimately the new moon, all emphasise your slice of the firmament. Saturn lurks there too, although you’re coming to appreciate that maybe, certain of its strictures are only prudent in the end. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) Lately, you have been subject to some powerful celestial trends. You have endeavoured to face these with equanimity, but it has been an uphill struggle that has sucked up all your reserves of goodwill and tolerance to handle. Help is on its waythis month in the form of Venus, the courteous, but potent planet of love and other auspicious influences. You will feel calmer and better disposed to those little issues that so grate on your nerves. You can potentiate this process, by being kind to yourself and even by indulging a few luxuries, notwithstanding your expenses appearing unusually high. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) You might think the cosmos has forgotten you. Trends have emphasised other signs, leaving you to pursue a less public agenda. But on November 9 Mars arrives in your sector of the sky and if you remember how busy this made you last time around, you won’t be caught by surprise. Any physical activities that require a fair amount of energy are best left until after this planet’s arrival, when you’ll be more enthusiastic about tackling them and can direct your focus into something constructive. Meanwhile, Jupiter’s stay in Libra means foreign travel for some, with an educational interlude for others. PISCES (Feb. 19- March 19) Neptune turns direct this month, ending 160 days of retrograde motion on November 20. That is about average for this blue gas giant, which is retrograde 44% of the time. Neptune has a particular connection to your constellation and is enjoying only its second visit there, since its discovery in 1846. It’s a planet that is linked with dreams, intuition and idealism, so to become the person you’ve always wanted to be is your fundamental task, now and for a number of years to come. Try to quantify consciously what this means to you; both in terms of the traits you aspire towards and what you want to feature in your life.

The fifteen-year old machine had been doing its best, but beginning to be a challenge to repair and find replacement parts for. The Estuary applied for a grant through the Walmart Foundation State Giving Program and was awarded the money to cover purchase of the new machine, have it installed, including the necessary updates to plumbing and electrical and rework the stainless table surround to accommodate the new machine. The new machine is a much higher efficiency model and uses about 1/3 of the water of the old machine and is Energy Star rated for increased utility efficiency. It also has a higher per load speed and capacity so more dishes can be done in less time. It is a high temperature sanitizing machine, which eliminates the need for costly chemicals also. The Estuary is the regional senior center serving the towns of Clinton, Chester, Deep River, Essex, Killingworth, Lyme, Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, and Westbrook. The Estuary served over 55,000 meals in its Meals on Wheels Program last year and served over an additional 20,000 meals at its three congregate meal sites in the ninetown region. The center also hosts a full range of services, instructional classes, exercise and fitness programs, and opportunities for socialization to local seniors. A special thanks has been extended from The Estuary Council of Seniors to the Walmart Foundation for making the purchase and installation of this new piece of equipment and lots of clean dishes possible for years to come. Walmart – a great community partner, is helping those locally in need. To find out more about the Estuary Council of Seniors, visit the center at 220 Main Street, Old Saybrook, or visit its website at www.ecsenior.org or call (860) 388-1611.

Beason, M.D. - R.J. Welsch, M.D. P.J. Cullen, P.A.-C HEALTH TIPS from Charter Oak Walk-in Medical Center, P.C. Walking Can be Good! The simplest, safest and least expensive exercise is walking. A long-term study of thousands of Harvard alumni indicates that walking only an average of nine miles a week can significantly prolong life. Other studies have suggested that walking can benefit nearly everybody, regardless of their previous state of health and fitness. Walking can be good, especially for postmenopausal women. It is a weight-bearing exercise, and can slow down the progression of osteoporosis. Still other studies have shown that walking at a pace of 3 1/2 to 4 miles/hour (that's a brisk walk, not a stroll), can produce cardiovascular benefits too. Slower walking, about 2 miles/hour, can be helpful to older people, cardiac patients and those recovering from a prolonged illness. Walking at speeds of 5 miles/hour can burn as many calories as jogging, without the wear and tear on your feet and knees. Walking by itself is not enough to prevent heart disease and stroke. It must be combined with other sensible health habits, avoiding cigarettes, sensible diet and watching your blood pressure. As with any form of exercise or health habit, it must be done on a consistent and regular basis, and it must become a long term habit. If you are inactive, but otherwise healthy, start with mile-long walks at three miles/hour, three to five times a week. If you can't walk that fast, walk a little farther. You can increase the aerobic exercise received by walking in two ways. Swing your arms. This increases the workout for your upper body. As you get used to walking farther and faster, you can carry a light backpack, or a set of hand weights. Try to keep the weight balanced to avoid back strain. le b a l i a v A ce This Spa 980 Poquonnock Rd · Groton (Next to Bare Wood Furniture) Phone: 860-440-7444 BUSINESS OWNERS/PROFESSIONALS By taking advantage of our reasonable advertising rates, you can put your company’s name in front of tens of thousands of our readers WITH ONE EDITION.

MILLER, M.D. Cosmetic Dermatology Adult & Pediatric Dermatology · Dermatologic Surgery Cold Sensitive Skin Winter is around the corner, and its uncomfortable chill can cause physical damage as well as dampen ones spirits. Here is information about cold sensitive skin ailments; what to look for and what you can do to avoid their numbing effects. Raynaud’s Disease and its symptoms turn up when the temperature turns down. Hands and feet are extremely sensitive to the cold and become affected when the small arteries that supply these extremities with blood and oxygen constrict or tighten. The decrease in blood flow can cause the fingers or toes to turn white or blue. Tingling and then swelling may occur and become painful. If allowed to continue, ulcers may form which further damage the tissue and produce chronic infection around the nails of the fingers or toes. Raynaud’s symptoms are brought on by sudden exposure to cold or stress. Perhaps you’ve reached into the freezer to remove tonight’s dinner only to discover that Raynaud has become an uninvited guest.The symptoms of Raynaud’s may be associated with an underlying cause such as a connective tissue disease, or, in some people, they may occur with no identifiable underlying cause. Chilblains result from exposure to dry cold that does not freeze the skin. You may notice that affected areas turn reddish-blue and become swollen. Chilblains are itchy and sometimes painful. In time, blisters containing clear fluid may form. No permanent damage results, however, injured areas may be more sensitive to future cold. Damp cold at temperatures near freezing can result in trench foot (or immersion injury). This may occur when a glove or sock becomes wet while out in the snow. The symptoms of trench foot are similar to those of chilblains, but the damage is usually more serious. The blisters are deeper and look more like those from burns. As with chilblains, there is no permanent injury other than increased cold sensitivity. Frostbite occurs when the injured area freezes. Ice crystals form within the cells of the skin leading to their rupture and death. Frostnip is a first degree frostbite where only the surface of the skin is frozen. Similar to chilblains, frostnip results in itchy and painful skin, but does not lead to permanent damage.If freezing is allowed to continue second or third degree frostbite injuries may result in serious and long lasting damage. Anybody can be affected by the cold, but those most likely to suffer injury are the young and the elderly. The best way to prevent cold injury is to dress warmly and move indoors once your fingers or toes begin to feel cold. Insulated mittens work better than gloves. Always keep your hands and feet dry and your ears covered. Be aware that alcohol and certain medications may cloud your judgment. It’s important to know when it’s time to come in out of the cold.
