Health Tip of the Week
Eat Fruit
Eating fruit provides health benefits - people who eat more fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Fruits provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body.
Still keeping that promise to yourself to eat better this year? Here are some general tips to help you get some fruit into your diet:
  • Keep a bowl of whole fruit on the table, counter, or in the refrigerator.
  • Refrigerate cut-up fruit to store for later.
  • Buy fresh fruits in season when they may be less expensive and at their peak flavor.
  • Buy fruits that are dried, frozen, and canned (in water or 100% juice) as well as fresh, so that you always have a supply on hand.
  • Consider convenience when shopping. Try pre-cut packages of fruit (such as melon or pineapple chunks) for a healthy snack in seconds. Choose packaged fruits that do not have added sugars.

    I know that there was an email, on the list-serve today, about dogs being allowed to run at large. These dogs were not accompanied by any owners-they were unattended and running free. I would like to remind all Island residents and visitors that there is a leash law. You cannot have your dog off leash unless you are in a city dog park--and there is not a dog park on Peaks!! We do not have a holding facility on Peaks for dogs. If we cannot reunite you with your dog, the holding facility is at the Westbrook Animal Refuge League. You will not only have to retrieve your pet, you will be summonsed for allowing a dog to run at large. Please keep your dogs on a leash or supervised in your yard. If you see this occurring take the time to give us a call-we cannot take action hours or days later.
