Between Rounds Announces their Newest Cream Cheese Creations. Flavor Suggestions Encouraged.

BR Logo from Andy smallBetween Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations throughout Connecticut, has recently concocted two delicious new cream cheese flavors just in time for fall – Peach and Apple Caramel.

Between Rounds seasonal and innovative flavors are developed and produced in-house. They are available for a limited time only and will rotate depending on the month. The company’s traditional cream cheese flavors that are menu staples include plain, low-fat vegetable, scallion, strawberry and vanilla raisin walnut.

The brainchild of Staten Island brothers Jerry and Joe Puiia, Between Rounds cafés are located in Vernon, South Windsor, Manchester and Tolland. The Puiia hallmark is manufacturing and selling their own bagels, which set them apart from other cafés. Now, they are quickly becoming known for new, offbeat cream cheese flavors handcrafted right in the store.

“We offer the traditional flavors, but the trend is flavors that have a little twist to them. Robust or unusual flavors are the most popular,” explained Jerry Puiia, co-owner of Between Rounds.

According to Puiia, some flavors are more difficult to create than others. For example a single fruit-based flavor, such as Between Rounds strawberry cream cheese, doesn’t have the ingredient complexity of their new apple caramel flavor. Also, flavors that are savory tend to have a more complex ingredient panel. One other consideration during creation of a new flavor is the shelf life. No preservatives are added to Between Rounds cream cheese creations.

Between Rounds encourages the community to suggest new flavors. Anyone who recommends a cream cheese flavor that Between Rounds adopts, will receive a certificate for a dozen bagels a month for six months. “Cream Cheese Flavor” suggestions may be emailed to info@betweenroundsbagels.com with your name and flavor suggestion.

Hear the beep where you sleep. Some alarming facts for National Fire Prevention Week.

John V. Carvalho III
John V. Carvalho III

FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS…

The National Fire Protection Association’s National Fire Prevention Week takes place this year from October 4 to 10. As a company that specializes in safety products and services, Apollo Safety, Inc. is getting the word out early on how to prevent fires in the home and business.

“According to the National Fire Protection Association, the folks who put on National Fire Prevention week, an average of eight people died per day due to home fires in 2013. Eight a day is a staggering statistic and it is eight too many,” said John Carvalho, president of the Fall River, MA-based Apollo Safety. “The shame of that figure is how many of those deaths are preventable, particularly the ones from smoke inhalation where a proper alarms and training alarm could have alerted residents so they could at least get out of the home.”

The numbers certainly back up that claim. Again according to the National Fire Protection Association website, three out of five home fire deaths in 2007-2011 were caused by fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

Having a working smoke alarm does reduce the risk of dying in reported home fires by half, but lack of maintenance of those alarms creates further risk. In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 93 percent of the time, while battery powered alarms operated only 79 percent of the time. When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected, or dead.

“It’s one of the reasons we started selling batteries for that very reason,” said Carvalho. “Too often people will buy a detection system for their home and then forget about it. Or, when it comes time to replace the batteries, they don’t have any on hand and, consequently, the batteries aren’t changed in a timely fashion. That’s why Thanksgiving or when we change the clocks to or from daylight savings has caught on as a semi-annual reminder to change your batteries.”

Additionally, Apollo Safety’s offerings include a variety smoke and gas detection systems suitable for a residence, large apartment buildings and other commercial properties. These systems are available for purchase at www.apollosafetyproducts.net.

Apollo Safety also provides on-site installation and training and 24/7 service for commercial, industrial and educational facilities. All Apollo Safety technicians are factory-trained and certified. In addition, Apollo offers its own training program, with five levels of certification.

Edgewood LifeCare Community Awards Scholarships to Eight High School Students

Treasure Cove Scholarship Recipients 2015Edgewood LifeCare Community, an award-winning non-profit senior living community in North Andover, recently awarded scholarships to eight graduating high school seniors, who are employed part-time at Edgewood and continuing on to higher education this fall.

Each received a $500 scholarship stipend to continue their education at a college or vocational school. Recipients had to meet several eligibility requirements, which included being employed at Edgewood for at least six months and working a minimum of 15 hours a week.

The scholarship recipients are employees in Edgewood’s Culinary and Nursing Services departments and include Lawrence residents Carina Anziani who will be attending UMass Lowell, Ana Castillo attending Barry University, Jennifer Flete and Emily Lara attending Northern Essex Community College, Kiana Morales attending Mass. College of Liberal Arts and Dominique Ortiz attending Simmons College.

North Andover resident Matt Caterino will be attending Suffolk University and Laura DelleChiaie of Haverhill will be attending Worcester State University.

Scholarship funding was raised by Edgewood’s Treasure Cove committee. Treasure Cove, an initiative of 10 Edgewood residents, is an on-site consignment shop. Edgewood residents and family members make donations of household items, furniture, and jewelry to Treasure Cove, which are then sold to in-house customers. Treasure Cove holds a sale on the first Monday of every month, and the proceeds are put towards scholarships.

“As our first recipients of Treasure Cove dollars, these students are leading the way for what we anticipate as a bright and successful future collaboration between residents and staff. We thank them for the jobs they have performed so well and wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavors,” said Rachel Penner of Edgewood’s Treasure Cove Committee.

The Treasure Cove committee established the consignment shop in July 2014, and has raised thousands of dollars from the Monday sales they have held so far.

“Many residents who downsized from a large family home, have storage lockers at Edgewood which are chock full of surplus furniture and other items. Residents are delighted that their donations to the Treasure Cove consignment shop will ultimately help graduating seniors reach their educational goals,” explained Kathleen D’Amico, Edgewood’s Marketing Director.

RI chiropractors concur that chiropractic perceptions have become reality; support new Gallup poll results

RHODE ISLAND…

A recent Gallup report commissioned by Palmer College of Chiropractic revealed that 33.6 million U.S. adults (14 percent) seek chiropractic care each year. That’s an increase over previous studies from other sources, including the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (20.6 million U.S. adults or 8 percent. Yet to doctors of the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island, one of the oldest chiropractic associations in the country, the results go deeper than more people having bad backs.

“The continued increased in people seeking chiropractic care reveals a major perception change,” said Dr. Michael Gottfried, president of the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island and chiropractic physician at Aquidneck Chiropractic in Middletown, Rhode Island. “Several years ago, some people might have gone to a chiropractor as a last resort. The poll reveals that, for many, chiropractic has become the first option for neck and back pain.”

Three of the key highlights from the Gallup Report affirm that assertion: Two-thirds (61 percent) of adult Americans believe chiropractors are effective at treating neck and back pain; The majority (57 percent) of adults are likely to see a chiropractor for neck or back pain; and more than 1/2 of all U.S. adults have visited a chiropractor, and more than 1/4 of them would choose chiropractic care first for back or neck pain.

“An interesting footnote to these figures is that nearly one half of all U.S. adults don’t know if their insurance covers chiropractic care,” said Gottfried. “In a day and age when people opt not to get treatment for certain ailments based on insurance, the increase in people going to chiropractors makes an even louder statement.”

All natural and without prescription medications, chiropractic has been found to be beneficial for numerous conditions above and beyond neck and back pain. Some of those include: headaches, asthma, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel, colic, and stress, just to name a few. For a complete list of conditions treatable with chiropractic, visit www.richiro.org.
