To couch this in more mathematical terms, thesurveyor will be more likely to hear from either end of theGaussian curve, but not the middle. That means that mostpeople will not answer a survey at all.The returns of the Nahant Public Library’s survey,regarding services to children, follow this predictablepattern. We received only nine returns, of 2,200 formsdistributed. One of these returns answered only one of thesurvey questions, and so was useless for the Library’spurpose. The remaining eight offered suggestions withinthe context of the survey questions and so, provided auseful, if small, degree of input. Eight returns of 2,200 isnot statistically significant, unless you are one of theeight, but some cooperation is better than none!All respondants agreed that they like weekly storyhours in the morning, but lacked consensus as to whichmorning. All respondants are residents of Nahant and fiveof eight did not want children to sign-in for story hours.As one might expect, suggestions as to the kind of programswe might offer varied greatly, leading us to believethat a variety of programs for children is the best course.Thank you to those who responded.Submitted by Daniel A. deStefano, Library Director

The Editor.Because I’m one of the 3,000 people GLSShelps every day, I can live independently.GLSS Home Care Serviceshelps me with…We were often taught that you shouldn’t eat between meals. Well, research is tellingus, now, that those long hours between meals may be making it more difficult for us tolose weight. Metabolism will slow down if we don’t eat often enough. If your body iswithout food for four hours, it begins to suppress calorie-burning, to conserve energy,until the next meal. So it now seems that snacking can help us lose weight, if we do itwisely. We want to keep our metabolisms high, so we are burning more calories all thetime. Remember, that as we age, our metabolisms naturally slow down, at a rate ofabout 5-10%, every 10 years, which could mean a gain of 5 pounds each decade, if weare not mindful.Okay, so you should add healthy snacks to fill in the long gaps between meals.Snacking can help keep your blood sugar levels from dipping too low. When these levelsdrop, we feel tired, distracted and crave foods that are often unhealthy. Even if you aredieting, you should plan snacks, as part of your daily food plan. Keep the cravings fromluring you off your diet and keep the calorie-burning high, all through the day. Everytimeyou eat, your metabolism will increase, as it takes energy (burns calories) to digest food.Lets look at healthy snack choices. Donut vs. apple. Muffin vs. yogurt. Thesechoices may seem obvious, but even “healthy” snacks are deceiving. Power bars areoften more like a glorified and well-marketed candy bar. Avoid refined sugar and flourtype snacks, as they are empty calories. Look for whole grain, or better still, snacks are aperfect time to increase your daily fruit and vegetable servings. A piece of fruit may alsobe sweet, but is a source of vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals and healthy fiber. If youfind fruits just don’t handle the hunger pangs, add a small amount of protein, like ahandful of almonds, peanut butter on apple slices, carrot sticks with humus, celery filledwith low-fat cream cheese. Try yogurt sprinkled with a handful of granola. Check labels.There are many “healthy” snacks available, but read the labels and watch for addedsugars, corn syrup, fructose, etc. Better to add your own sweetness with fruit, or even alittle honey, which also has many healthy benefits.Sugary drinks are also added calories, without added nutrition. Diet drinks havequestionable chemical substitutes. Water, plain or sparkling, is still your best choice.Avoid the sweetened coffee drinks, too! The calories are often higher than you think.Caffeine and sugar can both be addictive and leave you craving more.Keep snack calories between 100-200 calories and only 2 to 3 times a day, ie. midmorning,mid afternoon, and evening. If you are active, the extra 400-600 calories areeasily burned; if you are sedentary, try to keep snack calories lower, say 300-400 daily.Prepare, or keep in stock, your healthy choices to avoid slipping up with unhealthychoices, when healthy alternatives are not available. Watch out for mindless grazing.Don’t leave the larger bag open and reach in. Take out only the amount you intend to eatand put the rest away!If snacking between meals is so important to keeping your metabolism runninghigh, then definitely, do not skip meals! The most important meal of the day is breakfast.It is proven that those who eat breakfast have a higher-than-average metabolism, comparedwith those who don’t. So don’t skip any meals anduse healthy snacks to keep the fuel burning throughout theday. When food seems scarce, the body conserves andburns calories more slowly. So make healthy choices andkeep burning those calories all day long.Letter to the EditorHomemaking…clean floors..vacuum..do laundryHeavy chores...move furniture..clean rugs anddrapesShopping…purchase groceries and necessitiesMeals…arrange for me to get Meals on WheelsRespite care…help my family get ‘time off’Adult Day Programs…arrange for me to get outand socializeMy life would be more difficult without GLSS.Call GLSS, they'll be able to help you, too.GLSSGreater LynnSenior Services8 Silsbee Street, Lynn, MA 01901GLSS is a nonprofit human services agencyoffering programs that help seniors and theirfamilies.

NAHANT HARBOR REVIEW • MARCH 2007 • Page 7Q & A with NSPT: Tennis AdviceQ. I am a 68-year old tennis player and have played three times a week for manyyears. Do you have any suggestions to keep me from becoming injured, as I get older?A. Your question is excellent. All ages and levels of tennis players are susceptibleto injuries. Some common tennis injuries are tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), Achillestendon tears, or ruptures, ankle sprains, back injuries and plantar fasciitis.Some basic advice to avoid injuries such as these and others are as follows:Warm-up and stretch adequately before and after playing. Warming-up is important,as you don’t want to use, or stretch, cold muscles. You can warm up by walking for 5-10minutes, or jogging in place for a few minutes and then stretching slowly and gently. It isa good idea to have an individual stretch program set up for you by a tennis pro, aphysical therapist, or a personal trainer. They will know what specific muscles areimportant to stretch for the game of tennis and for your needs. Don’t forget to also cooldown and stretch after the game.Always wear supportive, well-fitting tennis shoes. Be sure you wear the correctshoes for any sport. The right shoe will help you avoid ankle sprains and plantar fasciitis(an overuse injury of the bottom surface of your foot). Replace your shoes frequently,before they wear out or lose their cushioning.Drink plenty of water before, during and after you play. Drinking a sensible amountof water will help avoid stiffness and cramps. (Bring a liter bottle and drink as much asyour body seems to need.) Dehydration can result in hospitalization.Take a tennis lesson. Tennis elbow is an overuse injury that happens frequently topeople who do not play tennis. According to the American Academy of OrthoepaedicSurgeons (AAOS), it can happen in any age group and affects about half of the peopleplaying racket sports. It generally starts slowly, often as a burning pain on the outside ofthe elbow. It affects the tendons that attach to the muscles that lift up the wrist and hand.Seek medical help early, if your elbow pain persists. A tennis instructor can help youdecide which racket is the right one for you and whether you are using your racketcorrectly. The AAOS recommends doing gradual stretching for the wrist, starting backhandswings from your shoulder and avoiding placing your thumb behind the racket grip.Keeping your arm bent during forehand and service shots will help to transfer the forceto your biceps and shoulder.Use proper body mechanics when playing. The AAOS also offers some helpful tipson body mechanics. They recommend landing on a flat foot, rather than on the ball ofyour foot, in order to avoid injuring the Achilles tendon. Avoid arching your back excessivelywhen serving, or doing overhead shots. Instead, bend your knees and raise yourheels so that your upper body weight is evenly balanced over your heels. While playing,keep knees flexed to anticipate movement. Let the ball go, if it is out of reach (don’tlunge for it).Try to avoid playing on hard courts such as cement or asphalt. Too hard a surfacecan cause lower back and Achilles tendon injuries. If playing on clay, or grass, make surethe court is properly maintained. The surface on which you stand, walk, run, or playsports, is very important.More and more people are staying active longer and leading more healthy lives withimproved mobility and balance. Keeping the above suggestions in mind, will help youavoid injury. If you do get hurt, see your physician and discuss whether a physicaltherapy consult is in order.Please feel free to submit questions to us at any time about musculoskeletal problems.Put them in writing and either leave them at the Council on Aging front desk, ormail them (or drop them off) to us at NSPT, c/o Fawn Anderson, 1 Widger Road,Marblehead, MA, 01945.Sinus Problems?Let the skin-care professionals at Seaport Salon and Day Spa assist you.

NAHANT HARBOR REVIEW • MARCH 2007 • Page 8Save It Before You Lose It!By William G. LetourneauMost people, at one time in their lives, have lost somethingimportant to them. With the growth of technology stronger thanever, we find ourselves storing digital data, with less and lesscare. People take for granted the fact, that their computer’s harddrive (where the data is stored) could fail at any time. The endresult is losing your photos, music, stored email and any otherimportant files, forever.There are several simple solutions implemented, ensuringthat your data remains obtainable. First, you need to know howto save your files to a location, other than the default. Secondly,you need a separate, internal or external, storage medium, to saveyour files to.Although you may have a new computer and think the hard drive will never fail,you should definitely consider a data-backup system. The small amount of money youspend on such a system will protect your valuable data indefinitely. You never reallyknow how valuable your data is, until it is lost forever. Back it up while you still can!A Nahant Memory from a High School BasketballStar: Philip “Sleepy” GallagherThe current “Memories of Mid-20th Century Nahant” project was originally generatedfrom an idea sent to the Nahant Historical Society, late last summer, by GeneKroner, a former resident, now living in Weston. Gene remains a Nahanter in spirit,remembering especially wonderful summer days, while growing up here. Anne Coté,who is a board member and curatorial volunteer, took on the Memories project with zest.She knew that wonderful stories, from that time, would appeal to Harbor Review readers.All the “Memories” articles that you see in the Nahant Harbor Review are becauseof her hard work in contacting many people, who are sending in their delightful reminiscences.Brr! It is cold outside. Let’s warm up and get going. Send in your memories, too, bymailing them, via surface mail, to Nahant Historical Society, 41 Valley Road, Nahant,MA 01908. You can also email them to info@nahanthistory.org. We also encouragephotographs, or other memorabilia. Arrangements can be made to copy and returnoriginals to you. For inspiration, see the following memories from Philip “Sleepy”Gallagher, who has lived in Boca Raton, Florida, ever since he graduated from EnglishHigh School. He returns to Nahant every summer:“One of my favorite memories was “Pool Hopping,” with Fred Lessor, Bill Hurd,Pat O’Connor, Jon Knudsen, Jack Ward and Jack Bradley. Several of these friendsgraduated from Nahant in 1951. One of the pools was the Cary Street Club. I lovedNahant for the ocean, and the waves hitting the rocks at Forty Steps Beach area. I’llalways remember the 20-inch guns going off in WWII, shaking the land. The convoyswere leaving Boston on the way to England, in the 40’s, when I was very young.”Submitted by Anne Deluca Coté, Chairman, Memories of the Mid 20th CenturyProject, Nahant Historical SocietyPlease Feed the Birdsthis Winter!SummerWritten by Meral Gunduz For Summer K.

I keep pedaling,despite the ache in my legs, because I want desperately to see what is going on ahead.With a vague, but increasing sense, I am expected to be on Short Beach at eleveno’clock, I begin to pedal harder, quickly realizing my watch just struck eleven fifteen andmy panic starting to rise. I actually hate exercise and startlingly can not remember why Iam on this old, neglected bike…did my Scion run out of gas this morning?A low buzzing sound rings in my ears. I instinctively swat the bugs away.I close my eyes briefly, as I wend my way along Nahant Road, towards the CoastGuard Station, basking in the warmth of the sun and the welcome, salty smell of theocean. I toss my cranky bike aside and without delay, run to the beach. Much to myastonishment, I hear salsa music, see beautiful dancers, children flying kites and smelltacos…where did I land? Am I in Cancun? I know that isn’t possible, because across thesand I see Polly Bradley helping the children fly kites, Chris and George, from Seaside,serving up some tasty burritos, Peg Hinrichs lining up Toyota Prius’ and Lissa Keane,hanging the piñata from the rafters. What the heck is going on here?That buzz is back, and louder. I swat both ears this time, hoping to end this irksomenoise.I then wander over, to help serve the tacos and burritos to some hungry-lookingfaces and as I take off my back pack, I realize I am wearing a Nahant Earth Day 2007 t-shirt. Like a giant tsunami, my memory comes flooding back and I remember why I amhere.Today is May 5th. It’s Nahant’s Earth Day 2007: Fiesta on the Beach!The buzz is back and now totally unbearable: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZMy eyes fly open.I realize I am now in my apartment. The dream bubble bursts instantly and I amaware it is still winter, still cold and snowy and my winter boots remain in my hall.However, (drum roll please)...Nahant SWIM, Inc. invites all ocean lovers to join us in a spectacular Earth Daycelebration: Fiesta on the Beach, for entertainment, enlightenment and adventure!

Please letme know.Spring In NahantCal Hastings thinks spring is the season when youcan rely very little upon the weather, and even less uponthe weather man. Cal’s sweet wife, Marrit, says, “In thespring, a young man’s fancy lightly turns from thoughts ofwork.”The attractive educator, Mary Dill, of Cary Street,says, “Spring is the silly season, when men plant grass inorder to slave in the summer, keeping it cut. As for herhusband, Dan Dill, “Spring is the glorious season whenthe grass grows along the roadside and hides the discardedbeer cans.Once again, Sheila Hambleton reminds us, “Spring isthe time of year when the weather seldom gets togetherwith the season.”Well, as Bill Vaughan once said, “No one objects toMarch coming in like a lion. It’s the hanging around like apolar bear that’s depressing.”Perhaps the only individual in Nahant who will missthe winter season is Jim Devereaux, who enjoys skiing.Miscellaneous InformationHistory buff, Kerry Gordinas of Spring Road wantsyou to be aware, in the Middle Ages, Italians were the firstto use a fork, the first to wash their hands before a mealand one of the first to prepare food, using the freshest ofingredients.Useless informationIn November 1908, the Superior Hotel in Iron Mountain,Montana, became the first hotel to have GideonBibles placed in all its rooms, by the Gideons. TheGideons were an organization for Christian businesstravelers, founded in 1899, by Samuel Eugene Hill. By1975, the Gideons had placed more than 10 million Biblesin hotels, hospitals and other institutions around theworld.Please patronize the advertisers of the NahantHarbor Review. Thank you.
