Plastic flamingos were decorated with flower, seasonal, sport, and entertaining themes. The project is known as "flocking". A flock of flamingos is placed on the front lawn of the home of the one to be "flocked". The following day, the flamingos "fly" to another lawn. When a home is "flocked", the opportunity to "flock" someone else's home is made available by donating money which is given to the Open Cupboard Food Pantry of Clinton. The project began in April and is still going strong, thanks to the many who have chosen to "flock" neighbors, friends and family. Donations have thus far totaled in the thousands. If you are interested in supporting the Open Cupboard Food Pantry of Clinton by "flocking" someone, contact Michele, President of The Country Garden Club, at: 908.200.3700. y o u n g W o M e n a n d F u n g u s t o e n a i l s By Howard J. Tzorfas D.P.M. Fungus toenails are a very common toenail infection. Fungus can cause the toenails to become thick, yellow, discolored and many times painful. It can occur in almost any age group but effects mostly older adults because of their poor circulation and poor immune system. It also is caused by trauma to the nail, and could easily be from constant bumping and banging. Another possible cause might be from constantly being in closed shoes with excess of moisture and perspiration. For many years fungus toenails in young women, including teenage girls, was a very rare occurrence. There is now a ten-fold increase in the amount of young women getting fungus in their toenails. One of the possible causes is from overuse of nail polish during the winter months. In the winter women tend to wear closed shoes, socks and/or stockings. This can cause excessive perspiration and moisture which is a breeding ground for fungus toenails. In addition, continuous use of nail polish does not allow the nail to breath. Once the fungus gets into one toenail it can spread to all the toenails and can even go to fingernails. There are numerous treatments for fungus toenails including topicals and oral medications as well as laser treatment. Treatment for this infection can take months and even years to get a complete clearing. It is recommended to check your toenails every couple of weeks. Take the polish off your toenails and check to see if you have any yellowish or discoloration. If you do, contact our office so we can make a full evaluation and do a fungal culture. We'll then get you started on the proper treatment for this problem. If you have any foot problems, issues and questions, please contact Howard J.
