They call me Purrincess Camara. I only know this because my new human caretakers have recently gifted me with an artifact that has been passed down through the CCC's queens-in-training since long before my arrival! You can't see it in my photo, but this prized possession of mine is a pink kitty bed that may as well be a blushing cloud it's so cozy. Even though I feel a little spoiled sometimes, I'd be just as grateful for any soft surface to curl up on so long as it's warm and comes with at least one hand to stroke my pretty calico fur. I love pets and to look into your eyes for slow blinks, but I do ask that you not touch my chin too much. My past is a mystery and I like it that way, because I'd like to begin anew with you. I'm only 5 or 6, healthy, and eager to purr in a calmer home with only adults or older, cat-experienced children.

Marine Cove during the weekend of February 2nd. There is a fortypound weight attached to him. When the ice melts enough for the weight to drop into the water, an attached rope will set off the timer. The winners will be determined by the closest ticket to the exact month, date, hour and minute he went through the ice. Tickets are $5.00, and entrants must be 18 years old. This year the prize money is to be a total of $4,000.
12th Annual Webster Lake Ice-Out Contest WEBSTER - Einstein is back! The Webster Lake Association is sponsoring their 12th annual IceOut contest. Proceeds will benefit the Webster Lake Association, Webster Fire and Rescue, and the Reconciliation House of Webster. Einstein is expected to be placed on the ice within Lakeview

1st place prize is $2,000, 2nd place prize is $1,000, 3rd place prize is $500 and 4th and 5th place prize is $250 each. In the unlikely event of a tie, the prize will be divided equally. Last year’s winners were determined by a raffle, as warmer than normal temperatures caused Einstein to prematurely fall through the ice, before the close of ticket sales. Tickets MUST be received no later than midnight February 19, 2019. Tickets are available through outlets at Lakeview Marine, Point Breeze Restaurant of Webster, and Pro Automotive of Dudley. You can also play online by visiting the Webster Lake Association

Valentine’s Day THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH
Valentine’s Day for the kids Although Valentine’s Day may be geared toward adults, children are quite drawn to the celebration as well. Perhaps it’s the promise of candy or chocolate that gets their attention, but Valentine’s Day annually appeals to the younger set. Some couples opt to leave children in the capable hands of a babysitter come Valentine’s Day and enjoy the evening solo. But for those who want to include youngsters in their fun, they can explore the many enjoyable and clever crafts and other activities available. Learning games Valentine’s Day can be turned into
a learning opportunity for children. One idea is to create an “Attracting Love” game that illustrates the power of magnets and the laws of attraction. Fill an empty glass jar with various items made into heart shapes. These can include small pieces of pipe cleaner, paper clips, paper, and even aluminum foil hearts. Put the top on the jar and shake up the contents. Let children guess which items will be attracted to a magnet, then have them test their theory with a strong magnet rubbed on the outside of the jar. See which hearts are attracted to the magnet. Other learning games can include matching or finding the differences between pictures, counting paper
hearts or making recipes of scented modeling dough. Dessert fun Invite youngsters into the kitchen to try their hands at different recipes, making sure that they have a chance to sample their handiwork afterward. Faux chocolate truffles made with chocolate sandwich cookies can be a tasty treat for little hands. Start by mashing up some Oreo® cookies,
then add them to a bowl with one 8-ounce package of cream cheese. Mix until everything is incorporated into a sticky batter. Truffles can be made into balls or heart shapes. For children celebrating Valentine’s Day and winter fun, turn the truffles into edible snowmen. Dip the truffles into melted chocolate or colored candy melts to coat. Place on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet and refrigerate for an hour, or until the truffles are firm.

Cupid’s connection to love
Hearts tend to be aflutter on Valentine’s Day, and Cupid just might be the scoundrel behind those starry-eyed feelings. Just who is this arrow-wielding Cupid and how did he become associated with Valentine’s Day? God of love and desire Ancient Greeks and Romans were prolific storytellers and used mythology to explain many of the mysteries of life. Certain feelings and happenings on Earth were attributed to the moods and actions of Gods who presided over the people. In Roman mythology, Cupid was the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. His Greek counterpart was Eros, while in Latin Cupid was known as Amor. According to myth, Cupid was the son of the winged messenger Mercury and Venus, the goddess of love. Cupid’s machinations were often guided by his mother’s hand, and matchmaking remained his most well-known trait. As time went on and Christian influences pushed out ancient Greek and Roman beliefs, Cupid was seen as an angel of heavenly and earthly love. Cupid could easily be mistaken for many other angelic cherubim portrayed in artwork during the Renaissance period.
February 13, 2019

Eventually Cupid became a popular icon of Valentine’s Day. Cupid’s appearance Cupid has appeared in different ways in illustrations and other artwork throughout history. Sometimes he is depicted as a winged, chubby infant carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows. Classical Greek art depicts Cupid as a slender, winged youth. The reason Cupid has wings is because lovers are known to be flighty and change their moods and minds with some frequency. He is boyish because love is irrational, and he carries arrows and a torch of Venus. People grew enchanted because love can both wound but by her beauty and started to neglect also inflame the heart. the worship of Venus. Jealous of this attention, Venus asked Cupid Cupid has traditionally been to make Psyche fall in love with portrayed as benevolent, if not a monster. But when Cupid saw mischievous. After all, his goal is how beautiful Psyche was, he to bring two lovers together. His accidentally dropped the arrow arsenal was equipped with two meant for her and pricked himself different kinds of arrows. People instead.

Those afflicted by an arrow Psyche, who had not been able to with a blunt tip of lead desired only marry like her other sisters, feared to flee. she had been cursed by the gods in some way. She was sent away to “Cupid and Psyche” avoid the premonition of marrying Cupid may have been responsible a monster, but Cupid, hidden from for bringing many people together sight, ended up visiting Psyche and with his special arrows, but he also gaining her trust and affection. The was granted the opportunity to pair then married, although Psyche experience love himself. According had never seen her husband in the to the myth of “Cupid and Psyche,” light of day because he forbade her Psyche was a beautiful woman to look upon him. After all, he was whose appearance rivaled even that a god and she was a mortal.
One night Psyche disobeyed Cupid’s edict and snuck a peek by candlelight. She was amazed by his beauty and became startled, wounding herself on one of his arrows. Psyche ended up dropping hot wax on Cupid, which woke him up and he ran off. Psyche wandered endlessly trying to find her lost husband and had to go through various trials established by a still-jealous Venus. In one of her trials, she ended up getting put to sleep, but Cupid revived her and pleaded with Jupiter to make Psyche immortal and let her be his true wife. Jupiter ultimately granted that wish. Cupid will forever be connected to the concepts of love and affection, which is why he has become an unofficial symbol of Valentine’s Day.
