Quote of the Issue:
Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk
very far.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay so you can tell I have a strong desire for spring to get here! On Thursday with the
snow coming down in large wet flakes I bundled up and walked a mile into Ocean Grove to
meet Rich after his meeting for breakfast. Yes I was motivated by a cup of joe at The
Barbaric Bean but I also felt the strong need to get out and about. Anyone else feeling
like that lately? Well I have and because of it I have been doing a lot of walking.
Somedays I come home from school and feel the need to just get out and walk. I will walk
the boardwalk when I need to think. I will walk to the library when I need to feed my mind
that is curious and pick up a book or movie. I will walk to the Barbaric Bean when I feel
the need to enjoy a cup of joe and good company or music. I guess this winter walking has
been my saving grace. Yet I have learned a few things with all this walking. I can slowly
and take it all in. I try to notice things that I might otherwise take for granted. After
a little walk I always feel better and more revived. I see some of the same folks walking
and now greet them as comrades on the walking path. All in all I have learned that while
having a car to get to further destinations is needed I simply enjoy the pleasure of being
able to walk to places and it has kept me from going completely stir crazy!! Give it a
try...
Until March 15th, hang in there and try getting out for a little walk. It might do you
some good!
Karen

Unless you've suffered the heartache personally, it's hard to imagine the array of
emotions you experience as you hold a sick puppy in your arms at 3:00 am. There are many
sick puppies being sold in Monmouth and Ocean counties from both breeders and puppy
stores. Should you or someone you know purchase one of these bundles of love and it turns
out to be sick, you need to go to a new website dedicated solely to the reporting of sick
puppies in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The website is www.ReportSickPuppies.com
From :davidzimel@extantsmallbusiness.com
Extant Small Business, a technology consulting firm, has donated 10 refurbished personal
computers to the Association of Retarded Citizens of Monmouth County for use by their
clients. Originally slated for disposal because they were deemed obsolete, these PCs were
rescued by Extant for use in a non-business environment. Some of the businesses that
donated to this project were The Senior Citizens Activities Network of Monmouth County,
Joan of Arc Electrical Contractors of Lincroft , Lone Keep Internet, Inc. of Bradley Beach
and Johnny's Garage of Long Branch.

Potter Pest Control
More than just eating up all your food and being a general nuisance,
carpenter ants can cause extensive damage to your home's infrastructure, and for every one
you do see, there could be hundreds more hiding in the walls.
Carpenter ants damage wood and insulation by excavating tunnels, and
they are capable of causing more harm to your home than even termites. Fortunately, a
carpenter ant problem is entirely controllable under professional care.
