It's here- The Swiss chard has finally arrived at market!” And oh - what beautiful produce came off of their truck and into their Farmers Market stall: broccoli, spring onions, cabbage, bok choy, asparagus, lettuce, strawberries, local honey, radishes, the list could go on! Come on out and meet their vendor representatives. Rub elbows with local chefs, and ask advice on how to cook the various offerings. | did just that with the Swiss chard and asked local chef Marty Mongiello for suggestions.

Below, please find Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any computer. software products that you know of that will let me help my parents with their com- puter issues from afar? They are in their seventies and frequently call me with their computer questions and problems, but I live across town and don’t always have time to get in the car and drive over to help them. What's available that can help us? Weary Son Dear Weary, Helping an elder loved with their computer questions or problems over the phone can be frustrating and dif- ficult. Fortunately, there are a number of resources available today that offer remote access software that can easily help you assist your parents with their computer issues from afar. One of the best is Team Viewer, which is completely free to use and works with Windows and Macintosh computers. To get started, you and your par- my creation based on his suggestions! Peppery Swiss Chard 2-3 slices of bacon, chopped One head of Swiss Chard (Rainbow va- riety) chopped- | did not use stems 1 clove garlic 2-1 tsp. red pepper flakes "2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth Brown chopped bacon in a skillet. Add chopped garlic, and cook on medium heat until lightly browned. Throw in the pepper flakes and stir around a bit to release the pepper’s “bite”. At this point you can remove garlic (or leave it in for more flavor). Add chopped chard, stirring until it re- duces in size by half. Add broth, stir. Cover and turn to low and cook until most liquid is absorbed. Salt (and vinegar) to taste and serve as a side to chicken or fish. Amazing! ents will need ¢ito igo" to TeamViewer.com and install their free software on each of your computers. How-to videos are available on their site to help with the installation. Once installed — and with their per- mission — you will be able to access your parent’s computer right from your own computer wherever you are. Both machines must have broadband Internet for this to work. This software will give you the ability to actually see what’s appear- ing on your parent’s computer screen, and will let you remotely take charge of their computer so you can show them how to do something, or you can do it for them while they watch. Al- most anything can be done remotely with this software. You can even keep a live video chat open at the same time you’re helping them. If your interested in shopping around, some other free remote access programs worth a look include Chrome Remote Desktop (go to The choir sings from a trailer platform at Sundays dedication of Advent Lutheran Church's new home grounds at 230 Oak Grove Road. Advent Lutheran Church to have new home From the opening strains of “Surely the Presence of the Lord Is In This Place," sung by the choir from a trailer platform, to the clos- ing benediction, there was no doubt of God's presence at the dedication of Advent Lutheran Church's new home grounds at 230 Oak Grove Road. Over 80 parishioners were present for the dedica- tion service. Mission partners and sup- porters from Salisbury, Troutman, Dallas, Gastonia and York, SC gathered with the congregation to celebrate the milestone event. The Rev. Carl Haynes, Dean of the Carolinas Mission Dis- trict of the North American Lutheran Church, delivered an inspirational sermon and blessed the land to God's use. Following the service, there was fellowship, food and pickup football and soccer for the young people. Advent began as a mis- sion congregation, meeting for the first time in Novem- ber 2010, and has a baptized membership of 130. The congregation will now begin its building phase and looks forward to the future of hav- ing a permanent home base for its mission and outreach.
