WICKED SALEM: Come join us as we welcome author and paranormal expert Sam Baltrusis on Thursday, October 17th at 6:30 PM. Sam will be discussing his 2019 release book, Wicked Salem: Exploring Lingering Lore & Legends.

About the Book: It’s no surprise that the historic Massachusetts seaport’s history is checkered with violence and heinous crimes. Originally called Naumkeag, Salem means 'peace.” However, as its historical legacy dictates, the city was anything but peaceful during the late seventeenth century. Did the reputed Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, strike in Salem? Evidence supports the possibility of a copy-cat murder. From the recently pinpointed gallows where innocents were hanged for witchcraft to the murder house on Essex Street where Capt. Joseph White was bludgeoned to death and then stabbed thirteen times in the heart, Sam Baltrusis explores the ghost lore and the people behind the tragic events that turned the 'Witch City” into a hot spot that has become synonymous with witches, rakes, and rogues.

About the Author: Sam Baltrusis has penned eleven historical-based ghost books. He has been featured on several national TV shows, including Destination America’s Haunted Towns and the Travel Channel episode on Salem, and has served as Boston’s paranormal expert on the Biography Channel’s Haunted Encounters. Baltrusis moonlights as a tour guide and launched the successful ghost tours, Boston Haunts and the Wicked Salem Tour.  This October he will be featured on 'Most Terrifying Places' that will air on the Travel Channel.

Following the presentation there will be time for Q&A along with a book selling and signing for those interested. This literary event is sponsored by the Friends of the Kimball Library.  Please register in advance.

ELIMINATION DIETS: In lieu of Healthy Cookbook Club this month, join us to learn all about Elimination Diets: How to determine which foods may be causing gastrointestinal distress.  This educational event is happening on Monday, October 21st at 6:30 PM.

Did you know?? Some foods don't digest the same way for everyone. Sometimes even foods we are accustomed to eating ferment and cause gas, bloating, pain and altered bowel movements. Food sensitivity tests are not always accurate, so isolating certain foods is a better assessment.
Join us as Courtney Eaton discusses how elimination diets work and which foods typically cause a reaction for individuals with gastrointestinal conditions. You will leave with a list of typical 'trigger' foods and a recipe with 'safe' ingredients.

About the presenter: Courtney Eaton, RDN, LDN specializes in weight management and gastrointestinal symptom management. She is devoted to teaching, providing accountability, and supporting individuals throughout their wellness journey. She promotes small, realistic goals that result in gradual, sustainable behavior changes. Eaton is Owner of New England Nutrition Advisors, LLC is a partnership of dietitians with a passion for determining and demolishing barriers that prevent the achievement of wellness goals.
