ART
NOTES from Hyde House
by Sally Armstrong,
Director of artCentral
Given some remarks that I have
heard recently, I thought I should take a moment
to introduce our organization and gallery to
those new to readership or to the community! This
article appears weekly in behalf of artCentral, a
20+ year old art and artist organization based
currently and for the last 8 years at the
historic Hyde House here in Carthage. We are
Carthage located, but our members are from many
towns and even states, and all are either artists
or those interested in art and the viewing of the
visual arts in particular. As director, I meet
once monthly with a board of directors, 9, who
oversee the organization and operation of the
gallery here. Our yearly goal is to produce 6-7
art exhibitions of one or more artists each,
whose work is for sale for the most part, and
these exhibitions run each through three
weekends. Additionally, we hold occasional adult
art workshops on the property, and a large summer
art camp for children for two weeks each year.
Our membership is entitled to enter works in the
annual Membership exhibition in June, and awards
are given. The membership currently stands at
198, and our dues vary from 15.00 for a senior or
student, 20.00 for individual, 30.00 for a
couple. We have additional donor memberships of
50.00 or 100.00 for those who desire to do that,
and a lifetime membership of a one time 1000.00
donation. Our members are invited to each
activity or event held here, receive invitations
to each show, and a quarterly newsletter is sent
to each. They may participate as they desire, or
not at all. Some assist as docents when needed,
some serve on the board. But if it were not for
our membership, we could not exist. I know that
2009 will be a year of budget cutting, and I
understand that many will be tightening their
belts a bit when it comes to memberships and
such. I do think that our fees are reasonable,
and that anyone can belong to artCentral for a
reasonable amount. I will be mailing the annual
membership letters out this next month to invite
potential new members as well as those who have
not been with us in awhile. I hope that you each
will access the value of art in your community,
and know that these free exhibitions could not be
possible without the membership dues of people
like you, and the generosity of our many
underwriters. I think the calendar for 2009 is a
good one, and we will continue to stand for
quality artistic representation in our community
in this and many years to come!

Journey Along
the Wellness Path
So what is BioMeridian Stress
Assessment? BioMeridian Stress Assessment is a
state-of-the-art tool designed to measure over 58
different electrical "circuits" in the
human body. These types of instruments have been
used in various health care practices for over
thirty-five years in Europe and other countries,
and only a few years in the United States.
BioMeridian Stress Assessment
is a fast, non-invasive, accurate, objective tool
that assists a practitioner in identifying
optimal protocols for wellness care and for
balancing energetic disturbances.
Specific acupuncture points on
the hands and feet are used to measure the
patterns of stress throughout the body. In the
early 1950’s, the work of Dr. Reinhold Voll,
a German medical doctor, played an integral role
in the technology we have available today. He was
successful in finding the acupuncture points and
demonstrating that these points, known to Chinese
acupuncturists for a millennia, had a different
resistance to a tiny electrical current passed
through the body, compared to the surrounding
tissue.
The end goal is to gain
information for use in a plan that helps support
body systems and regain or maintain balance
within the body. This is an exceptional tool to
help those of us who are proactively involved in
our health to provide us with a specific,
individualized, and practical plan of action for
optimal health and wellness.
It is great to know that there
are brilliant minds that desire to develop and
share modern technology that is accurate, useful
and significant in our quest for continued good
health!
Yours in good
health…Naturally,
Leesa I. Robinson, NHP
