He got into the business in the 80s when he worked as a beekeeper. The job went on the backburner when Davidson began his career as a truck driver, where he worked for 30 years. Once he retired, he went back to his original love- the honey business. He was able to grow the company into commercial size, producing, packing and selling their honey in addition to several other products including lip balm and candles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before the expansion, their products could be found at 50 retailers, including several Home Hardware\u2019s in the Chatham-Kent area. The expansion will put their products on Loblaws shelves all the way to London and in Sobey\u2019s stores all the way to Woodstock.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even with all of the growth, Davidson still plans to continue to offer local service that the company has built a reputation for.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0_____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COFFEE AND CHOCOLATE MAKE YOU SMARTER <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n How many cups of coffee do usually have in a day? Researchers keep uncovering evidence that shows caffeine helps makes our brains healthier and more resilient.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One study from early this year found methylxanthines, a class of chemicals found in coffee, tea, and dark chocolate, helped sustain cognitive performance and helped protect neurons from dysfunction and death. Another analysis of several studies showed that both coffee and tea both reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and also the risk of brain cancer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So how much caffeine do you need to consume to see the brain benefits? About six to eight, eight-ounce cups of coffee per day, ideally before 2 p.m., so it doesn’t disrupt your sleep. You could also replace a cup or two with an ounce of dark chocolate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ———————————————————————————-<\/p>\n PEOPLE WHO EAT DARK CHOCOLATE ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE DEPRESSED <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n University College London scientists talked to over 13,000 people about their chocolate consumption and depression symptoms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They found those who reported eating any amount of dark chocolate were significantly less likely to report any clinical signs of depression. The same could not be said of those who ate milk or white chocolate, however.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Researchers say chocolate has a number of psychoactive components, including two that produce a feeling of euphoria similar to that of marijuana. Also, dark chocolate in particular has more antioxidants, which reduce inflammation in the body– a reaction that some doctors think is linked to depression.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Still, the scientists caution that they cannot prove that eating dark chocolate helps beat depression.<\/p>\n \u00a0__________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WEDNESDAY AUGUST 7TH<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [64] Wayne Knight, actor (\u2018Newman\u2019 on \u201cSeinfeld\u201d 1992-98)<\/p>\n [59] David Duchovny, actor (\u201cCalifornication\u201d 2007-14, \u201cThe X Files\u201d 1993-2018)<\/p>\n [44] Charlize Theron, actress<\/p>\n [32] Sidney Crosby, NHL superstar center (youngest captain in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup, with Pittsburgh Penguins 2010, also won in 2016, 2017)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tampa Bay\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Toronto \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6<\/p>\n Detroit\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chicago WS\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luke Combs’ “This One’s For You” Has Set a “Billboard” Record<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n LUKE COMBS<\/strong>\u00a0cannot be stopped.\u00a0 His debut album\u00a0“This One’s for You”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0has been Number One on the\u00a0“Billboard”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Top Country Albums chart for 44 weeks.\u00a0 That sets a new record for a male country artist.<\/p>\n It tops\u00a0Randy Travis’s<\/strong>\u00a0“Always and Forever”<\/strong><\/em>, which spent 43 non-consecutive weeks at Number One back in 1987 and ’88. \u00a0The overall record is\u00a0Shania Twain’s<\/strong>\u00a0“Come On Over”<\/strong><\/em>, which spent 50 weeks at the top beginning in 1997.<\/p>\n And remember earlier this\u00a0year\u00a0when Luke set a different record by having his first five singles reach Number One on the Country Airplay chart?\u00a0 Make it six.\u00a0\u00a0“Beer Never Broke My Heart”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0has also reached the top.<\/p>\n Luke is happily encouraging future generations of country singers too.\u00a0 He posted a clip of a toddler standing in his kitchen ignoring a plastic spider that’s on the floor . . . as he rips through a verse of\u00a0“Beer Never Broke My Heart”<\/em>.<\/p>\n Luke captioned it, “Sing it buddy. \u00a0Watch out for that spider though.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n TIM McGRAW TO PERFORM FREE CONCERT AT TAMPA BAY SEASON OPENER \u2013 <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Tim McGraw\u00a0<\/strong>will headline a free full concert at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL prior to the Buccaneers season-opening game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, September 8th.
