Benefit Supper for Noah

On May 21, 2009, Noah Porter Lutz was born with physical defects that ultrasounds did not find during the pregnancy. Nath-

alie and Quillin Lutz are Noah’s parents and live in Augusta. Noah was born with an abdominal wall defect,

pelvic defects, urological defects as well as a port wine stain (birth mark) on the left side of his face. Basically, Noah had a hole in his abdomen and upon birth part of his bladder was poking out that hole.

The Paper Chase At our house, we save the daily papers and then pass them along to the rest of our family throughout the week. With the high cost of a daily subscription, we now share that cost between 2-3 families and still get an opportunity to see what’s going on. In fact, most of us don’t have time to read a paper every day, so it works out well to get a week’s worth and then take about 30 minutes to go through all of them at once. It’s a savings of time and money. n John C. , Jay

Noah and his family have a long haul ahead of them. Currently they are being told that he will be in the hospital in Boston for four to six weeks. As you can imagine, this is putting a large financial strain on this family. Nathalie was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia during her pregnancy. During Noah’s birth, a surgeon, cardiologist and pediatrician were on standby for her and Noah. Luckily, Nathalie’s heart withstood the birth. Nathalie will most likely need surgery on her heart at some point in the near future. Due to these cardiological issues, Nathalie could not work and dis-

The Student Senate led the month-long effort at KVCC, collecting 10,000 pounds of food from midApril to KVCC’s commencement May 16. Cash donations to the effort were used to purchase food items. Barbara Woodlee, Presi-

dent of KVCC, said the most extraordinary aspect of the drive was how students already busy with preparations for final exams and other end-of-term obligations found time to volunteer their energy to reach the goal. “The students organized this project and they really pulled together and did a remarkable job,” Woodlee said. “It is due to their hard work and the support of area businesses, public schools, and our staff that this effort was a success.” The local effort was part

of “Graduation: Can Due,” an initiative undertaken by the student senates at all seven of Maine’s community colleges. Announced April 14 by Maine Community College System (MCCS) President John Fitzsimmons, the project sought $75,000 or 75,000 pounds of goods to match $75,000 raised by MCCS. It was undertaken as a thank-you from the graduating classes of the colleges to the people of Maine for helping to make their college dreams a reality. KVCC’s effort included

campus promotions, food drives at area businesses, live radio broadcasts, and friendly competitions between College departments and classes. Many final donations arrived during KVCC’s Commencement Exercises at the Augusta Civic Center. KVCC’s 10,000 pounds of food will be matched by the Maine Community College System, for a total of 20,000 pounds of food to be donated to 10 local food pantries. Food pantries benefiting from the effort are the Great-

er Waterville Area Food Bank, St. John the Baptist Food Pantry Corpus Christi Parish (Winslow), Oakland Food Bank, Augusta Food Bank, People Who Care Food Cupboard (Madison), Fairfield Interfaith Food Pantry, Skowhegan Community Food Cupboard, Canaan Food Cupboard, Norridgewock Community Food Cupboard, and Sidney Food Cupboard. YRC in Fairfield generously donated one of their trucks for use in storing collected food at KVCC until the project was completed.

Other major donors to the effort included Canaan Elementary School, the Lawrence Junior High School Student Council, New Balance Shoe Company, Hannaford Supermarkets, the Maine Community College System, Champions Fitness Club, the Chiropractic Family Health Center, American Legion Post 14 of Fairfield, Pike Industries, Mardens Surplus & Salvage, Skowhegan Insurance Agency, the Kel-Mat Café, and the students, staff, administration, and faculty at KVCC. n

Comedy, Passion, Mystery, Revenge: It’s All at The Theater at Monmouth!

With the cost of travel and accommodations today, isn’t it great to know that you don’t have to take your family, romantic date or social group out of state for an unforgettable experience! The Theater at Monmouth, The Shakespearean Theater of Maine, is a yearround repertory company of professional theater artists from across Maine and the United States. A steadfast champion of the classics, The Theater at Monmouth brings exceptional shows to Mainers and summer visitors alike. Performances are held in beautiful Cumston Hall, listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Founded in 1970, the Theater is proudly celebrating its gala 40th season with a great repertory of shows, socials and special events. One such special event, The Theater at Monmouth’s popular Black Fly Follies, returns on June 27th, an annual party and fundraiser filled with comedy and music. Seats sell quickly for this special event, so buy your tickets now! A one-day showing of Oh Captain, My Captain, Walt Whitman’s Lincoln tribute, written and performed by Bill Van Horn, will celebrate our nation’s

independence on July 3rd at 7:30 pm. A number of preshow discussions, socials and other special events will be posted throughout the summer months online. The Theater at Monmouth encourages you to sign up online for email newsletter The Bauble, so that news updates and specials can come to you! The following is a listing of our summer shows in brief. For full descriptions and tickets, go to: www.theateratmonmouth.org. Our summer season opens with Twelfth Night, Shakespeare’s delightful comedy of love and reunion. If you want to introduce the kids to Shakespeare, this is the play to start with! You won’t want to miss a minute of this intriguing mixture of shipwrecks, disguises, riotous fools and the triumph of love. Directed by Janis Stevens. Next up is The Mousetrap, Agatha Christie’s classic whodunit! A raging blizzard strands an unlikely group of guests at Monkswell Manor. When a sergeant arrives to question them about a nearby murder, everyone suspects everyone. Who will be the next victim? Directed by Dawn McAndrews. Hamlet is the most fa-

mous play of the English language. Consider our version Hamlet reloaded: a fast and furious actionpacked tale of betrayal and revenge. The classic penultimate scene unfolds into bloodshed. Directed by Jeri Pitcher. Georges Feydeau’s A Little Hotel on the Side is French farce at its best. Monsieur Pinglet seeks an affair with his best friend’s neglected wife, Madam Paillardin. Desperate for excitement, she agrees. They go to an isolated hotel for privacy. An evening of antics, mistaken identities and sexual innuendo ensues. Directed by Davis Robinson. For family entertainment: Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows is a classic tale of friendship and adventure that will delight parents and children alike. Mr. Toad’s obsession with motorcars lands him in prison. His vacant home, Toad Hall, is overrun by weasels. Escaping prison, Toad seeks his friend’s help to recover his home. Directed by Kate Galvin. Our 40th season closes with the quintessential New England musical, Carousel. Widely considered Rodgers and Hammerstein’s finest work, this beautiful, touching

show will be a celebration of community as professional leads are joined by a chorus of community members. Directed by Bill Van Horn, musical direction by Marcia Gallagher. Throughout the month of May, The Theater ran a spring tour of The Three Little Pigs as a musical adaptation, performed in schools across the state from Springvale to Presque Isle, inspiring more than 20,000 children with compelling cultural theater that also happens to be a lot of fun.

Cumston Hall is one of the crown jewels of Maine. To the chance passerby it comes as a startling surprise, towering dramatically over Main Street. Its exquisite stained glass windows and asymmetrical design capture the imagination. Theater enthusiasts from all over New England know the hall as the home to the Theater At Monmouth, Maine’s Shakespearean theater. But for Monmouth’s residents, regular visitors and longtime friends, Cumston Hall is more than a remarkable building or intimate theater- it represents the heart and center of the Town of Monmouth. Listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings since 1976, Cumston Hall is a valued architectural gem. While Dr. Charles M. Cumston donated the funds for the building to the Town of Monmouth in 1899, it has always been a gift shared with the community at large.

The very day his ad came out, it became a major topic of discussion amongst his competitors. A few days later the daily paper picked up on it and did a story. Then the local TV stations did the same thing.

could’ve used a few more thrills to amp up some much-needed summer entertainment. But here, this movie has enough thrills to keep you entertained. Hanks is once again great in the role, and I would be looking forward to a third Langdon film with him in it. However, there were plenty of problems that somehow overshadow this film compared to the previous one. Even though it has an interesting use of the whole “science vs. religion” debate, it wasn’t as thoughtprovoking as the Jesus’ bloodline theory. It didn’t raise so many questions for me, because the film spent so much time concentrating on statues and clues and not giving us any questions. While The Da Vinci Code does a great job of mixing mystery and theories, the mystery of this film doesn’t add up well to the thrills, which makes it entertaining

IE W

the m

o vies

Back in 2006, I reviewed The Da Vinci Code, a movie based on the controversial best-selling novel by Dan Brown, which starred Tom Hanks and was directed by Ron Howard. Hanks starred as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who was involved in a murder mystery that led to a big discovery based on a possible theory that Jesus Christ might have started a bloodline. The success of the movie obviously means that one of Brown’s earlier novels, Angels & Demons, not only sees the big screen return of Langdon, but also raises questions on the whole “science vs. religion” debate as the backdrop of a new thrilling adventure. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Robert Langdon, who is summoned by the Catholic Church in Rome to figure out the kidnappings of four cardinals by the secret underground organization known as the Illuminati. They were a group of scientists and scholars who were banished by the Church over their own scientific beliefs and discoveries, and now wanted revenge by bringing the church through the “path to Illumination.” Langdon also teams up with a beautiful CERN scientist (played by Ayelet Zurer) to find an antimatter cylinder that was apparently stolen by the Illuminati to blow up Vatican City during the Church’s conclave. Langdon has to use all his knowledge to piece together the clues to the bomb based on the Illuminati’s “path to Illumination.” Meanwhile, a young Camerlengo (played by Ewan McGregor) has to warn all the Catholic Church about the ongoing threat before it’s too late. But all of Vatican City is in a frenzy over the conclave. Can Langdon solve the mystery before all of Vatican City goes up in smoke (black or white)? The film is once again directed by Ron Howard and produced by Brian Grazer (the Academy award-winning team behind A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code). Before seeing this movie,

I had a chance to check out the new Star Trek prequel, which to me is a fun thrillride in spite of a multicomplicated plot. Both of these films believe it or not, use antimatter in a fictional sense that involves the destruction of one’s world. I’m no expert on this, but if the antimatter used in Star Trek can create black holes, would it do the same to Vatican City in this movie thus creating a small hole in our Earth? I know it sounds pointless to ask, but I just want to get this question across. Anyway, my first impression on Angels & Demons is that it looks thrilling, because that’s what The Da Vinci Code was lacking. Even though that film was thought-provoking, it

but disappointing. Worst of all, this film had the most implausible ending I’ve ever seen in a blockbuster. Without spoiling it, all I could say is that even if you had tried to suspend your disbelief long enough by the end, the climax will somehow leave you scratching your head. The climax ruined the whole movie for me, but I don’t know how different it is from the book. I don’t highly recommend Angels & Demons, but I know you will want to see it because you like the book and/or have seen The Da Vinci Code. I gave that film three stars out of four for being both thought-provoking and entertaining. However, this film was not the film I was hoping for. Thrilling, but implausible by the end. Final Rating: 2 Stars (Out of Four) Bonus Rating for Star Trek: 3.25 Stars (Out of Four) n

Dottie Dymples ~ Cheddar Chatter: Enjoy These Cheese Recipes Shirley Toncer

Cheese. We all love cheese, but where did it all start? Well, the story goes that a nomad was traveling across the hot desert and he had a sheepskin bag with fresh milk in it. When he stopped for a drink, he found it had curdled from the heat and the motion of the camel. He found it very tasty. Now, you will have to decide whether this is true or a fable. All I know is that people have been enjoying cheese for centuries. Now cheese is made by mixing milk and rennet, which curdles the milk. The curds form at the top. The whey that is left in the bottom is drawn off and the curds that are left are pressed into rounds to make hard cheese. In 1802 the people in Cheshire, Massachusetts, presented Thomas Jefferson with a cheese weighing 1,235 pounds! The United States is the leading producer of cheese in the world. I believe that every family has their favorite cheese. It’s not just for toasted cheese sandwiches or mac and cheese. It can be used in many different dishes such as hors d’oeuvres, dips, main dishes and even desserts. If you like cheese, try some of these recipes…. PARTY FAVORITE HORS D’OEUVRE 1 9oz Jar Pineapple

Specialty Plate to Support Animal Welfare Approved by Legislature The Maine Senate today unanimously voted to enact a bill that would establish a new Animal Welfare specialty license plate. State Senator John Nutting, D-Androscoggin County, who sponsored the bill, said "He was proud to work with supporters of the Support Animal Welfare specialty plate. Early on supporters were told they would need to raise $50,000 to guarantee a minimum of 2,000 plates. Supporters raised the money and guaranteed the number of plate owners in just 78 days despite a down economy." This bill now authorizes

the creation of the Support Animal Welfare special registration plate. Proceeds will be divided equally between the animal welfare auxiliary fund and the Companion Animal Sterilization Fund, both of which are administered by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Ru-

ral Resources. "This is a great opportunity for those who want to support the animal welfare program, and support a good cause," Senator Nutting added. The bill now goes to Governor John Baldacci for his signature. n

AFS Exchange Program Seeking Host Families

AFS Intercultural Programs gives students and families the opportunity to really live another culture. American students can go to one of over 40 countries for a year, semester or a few weeks in the summer. There are scholarships available, including some full scholarships. The students not only see the other culture, they live it. My daughter went to Indonesia and learned to enjoy “rubber time” because people were not as concerned about punctuality. Things were much more relaxed. In fact, people would stop

at her home for a visit and stay for 3 days. Families can host a student from another country. The students are 15-19 years old and speak English. Most of the students come for the school year. A small number come in January for a semester. The students become a part of your family. They make you proud, and they make you upset. They also bring you an understanding of another culture you can not get any other way. We hosted a girl from Egypt who was as hip as anyone. She dressed like a styl-

Ask the Trainer - June is Men’s Health Month Jodi Cornelio

Finally, guys, it’s your turn to say, “It’s all about me this month.” So take advantage of it and make moves toward better health. Take the time to schedule your wellness visits or annual check ups. Re-evaluate your fitness level and your goals for health. Develop an awareness of your eating and activity habits and determine if they are benefiting your health. And last but not least make moves to reduce stress in your life. According to “A Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle,” 2nd ed., over 60 percent of American men are overweight. In 1920 women outlived men by one year. Today women outlive men by five or more years. Some of the reasons why men die younger are due to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other diseases that can be related to obesity, lack of activity, improper diet and stress. Men typically do not seek doctor care or take care of themselves as well as most women. Men typically do not take the time to exercise outside of their occupation and are more likely to engage in unhealthy habits and hobbies that require little activity and poor diet choices.

So to help all of you men take small steps to better health, consider the following guidelines: The Basic Nutrition Plan Mypyramid.gov can guide you to the basic nutritional requirements for your age, height and weight. A basic nutrition plan should include grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, fats and meats. Basic recommended requirements for men consist of 3-5 oz. of grains a day. The US Department of Agriculture’s new Food Pyramid defines an ounce of grain as one slice of bread or a ½ cup of cooked rice, pasta or cereal. Eat 2-3 cups of vegetables a day. Try to get a variety of all different colors. The dark green and bright orange vegetables carry the greatest amount of nutrients. Fresh, frozen and raw are the best choices. Spinach has a lot of antioxidant and is one that I would recommend on a daily basis because of its nutritional value. Two cups of fruit is recommended on a daily basis. Here again fresh fruit is the best choice and definitely better then juices. Be careful if you choose to go with juice. Many contain more sugar then real fruit juice so read the label. Three servings of dairy is recommended. Two ounces of cheese qualify for a dairy serving and of course one 8 ounce cup of whole or skim milk is one dairy. We all need fat in the diet and the preferred fat is mono

or polyunsaturated fat, i.e., olive and vegetable oils. No more then 30% of your daily nutrition intake should consist of these fats. So that is about seven

teaspoons for men ages 19-30 and about six for men who are older then 30. Most men should have 5 to 6 ounces of lean meat daily. That includes fish,

poultry, red meat, seafood, nuts and beans. Need to Lose Weight If you feel you need to lose weight, please do not fall for any quick weight loss plans. A good plan requires patience. A weight loss of 1-2 pounds a week is safe. This can be achieved by decreasing your caloric intake by 250 calories a day; “that’s eliminating that candy bar for the afternoon snack” and increasing activity, like walking an additional 30 minutes a day to burn off 250 calories. That will lead you to a decrease in calories by 500 a day. A pound is 3500 calories. If you reduce your calories by 500 a day in this way, you will lose a pound a week. If you keep that pace for six months you will be 25 pounds lighter. Small adjustments make a big difference long term. What about vitamins Vitamins are necessary only if you fall into one of the following groups: • Lactose intolerant • Get less than 1200 calories a day • Poor eating habits with little nutrients and skip meals • High stress levels If you are taking certain medications that prevent nutrient absorption. Helpful Tips to Good Eating Habits 1. Follow the U.S. Dept of Agriculture guidelines on the new Food Pyramid which can be found on Mypyramid.gov. 2. Limit fats to 30% and

choose polyunsaturated fats, like olive oil. Use non-fat and low fats products whenever possible and always check for sugar contents of these foods. Some have lower fats but higher sugar, which would not be a good choice. 3. Skip the cheese on your BBQ hamburger; better yet grill salmon instead. 4. Always ask for your salad dressing on the side and use it sparingly. Olive oil and vinegar are your best choices. 5. Your dinner plate should consist of 50% vegetables and 25% meat and starch. 6. Order smaller portions when dining out. 7. Eat breakfast to get the metabolism going, it doesn’t have to be big. 8. Stop eating when you are full. 9. Drink plenty of water especially prior to your meals. 10. Read labels and avoid foods with hydrogenated fats or trans fats. 11. Check the sugar content of packaged foods; try to keep it low or below 5 grams. 12. Limit alcohol to 2 or less drinks a day. If that is difficult for you to control, then you might want to consider not having any at all. 13. Above all, eat slowly, enjoy your food and be aware of what and how much you are eating.

extremely porous and more fragile. With age, waists thicken, muscle mass is lost, fat tissue may increase, skin may get thinner. Heart disease is a major threat for older women. In fact, heart disease is the major cause of death in women, killing more women than lung or breast cancer. In menopause, a doctor might suggest taking estrogen and progesterone, known as “hormone replacement therapy” or “HRT.” HRT involves taking estrogen plus progestin. HRT may relieve hot flashes, and reduce loss of bone. However, HRT increases the risk for heart disease, stroke and breast cancer. But it appears to decrease the risk of colon

Q. When does menopause really begin? A woman reaches menopause when a year has passed since her last period. Menopause, like many of the changes in a woman’s body through her lifetime, is caused by changes in hormone levels. Menopausal transition, called “perimenopause,” is the time when a woman’s body is close to menopause. Periods may become irregular. A woman may start to feel hot flashes and night sweats. Perimenopause usually begins about 2 to 4 years before the last menstrual period. It ends when menopause begins. Postmenopause follows menopause and lasts the remainder of a woman’s life. Pregnancy is no longer possible. There may be symptoms such as vaginal dryness long after menopause. The process of “reproductive aging” begins

around age 40. Declining levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone change a woman’s periods. These hormones maintain the health of the vagina and uterus, and regulate the menstrual cycles The most common symptoms of menopause are: Period changes. Many women become irregular. Flow levels get heavier or lighter. There may be spotting between periods. Hot flashes. These are sudden rushes of heat that can last seconds or minutes. Perspiring and shivering can follow. Flashes can be trivial or strong enough to wake a woman with “night sweats.” Vaginal and bladder problems. The genital area can get drier and thinner. Infections can become more common. Other problems can make it hard to hold urine. Difficulties with sex. Vaginal dryness can make intercourse painful. Sleep problems. Some women find they may not fall asleep easily or may wake too early. They’re sleep is disturbed by trips to the bathroom. Hot flashes awaken them. Body changes. Loss of bone tissue can weaken your bones and cause osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones become

Colby Museum of Art Celebrates 50 Years

A museum-wide exhibit, Art at Colby: Celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Colby College Museum of Art, will be on view July 11, 2009, to February 21, 2010, to mark the founding of the museum in 1959, a half century ago. A 376page book of the same title, featuring 202 color illustrations, will be published to accompany the exhibition. Art at Colby will present works acquired early in the museum's history, such as Winslow Homer's 1870 Adirondack landscape The Trapper, William Merritt Chase's Tompkins Park, Brooklyn, and key works from the American Heritage Collection of folk art. It also will offer the most comprehensive overview to date of works from the Lunder Collection, promised to the Colby College Museum of Art by Peter and Paula Lunder in 2007. The exhibition will provide a history of the museum through its collection, with artworks grouped by the decades in which they were acquired. Highlights include areas in which the museum has collected in depth: American art from the 18th century to the present, including works by John Marin and Alex Katz; contemporary art; and American prints by James McNeill Whistler (part of the Lunder Collection), Terry Winters and Richard Serra. Other highlights are early Chinese art from the

Colville Collection, Greek and Roman artifacts and European paintings and prints. An illustrated publication of selections from the collection, each with a newly commissioned text, will accompany the exhibition. Prefaced by a short history of the museum, the publication will include an impressive 144 brief essays by 98 authors on 176 works. Whereas the exhibition will juxtapose cultures and periods, the book will draw historical connections -- a Roman Lar, or household god, precedes a pair of Chinese guardian tomb objects, and European prints are followed by a portrait by John Singleton Copley. The earliest work is a Cypriot vessel in the shape of a bull from c. 1450 B.C.E. The most recent is a wall installation from 2008 by the American artist Maya Lin, composed solely of straight pins. Most of the works in the book also appear in the exhibition. In addition, the exhibition is supplemented by other works from the collection. Key to the mission of the Colby College Museum of Art is its dedication to new scholarship and to approaching the visual arts from a wide range of perspectives. Art at Colby, the book, contains essays from contributors including art historians Michael Leja, Anne M. Wagner, Geoffrey Batchen and Rachael

Ziady DeLue and curators such as Kenneth John Myers, Erica E. Hirshler, Barbara Haskell and Ingrid Schaffner. Art at Colby is equally rich in writers less commonly associated with traditional museum collection overviews, from geologist Robert A. Gastaldo on Phillip Taaffe to poet Ron Padgett on Fairfield Porter to the multitalented Richard Hell on Joe Brainard. Artists also provide commentaries on fellow artists -- Alex Katz on Winslow Homer, Rackstraw Downes on John Marin and David Salle on Roy Lichtenstein -- as well as several poems inspired by artworks. The Colby community is richly represented with numerous contributions by students, faculty, and alumni. As the Colby College Museum of art looks to its future as a teaching museum and a cultural resource in Maine, Art at Colby offers an opportunity to reflect on its past and the individuals who have developed and nurtured its mission. Book description: Art at Colby: Celebrating the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Colby College Museum of Art, 376 pages, clothbound with jacket, 202 color illustrations and eight blackand-whites, $50. Published by the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine; distributed by Distributed Art Publishers (D.A.P.), New York. n

So, there we were gathered at our assigned table at the diner in town. As usual, we were attempting – in our way – to solve most of the world's weightier problems, figuring we'd leave the lighter issues to others. That's when someone walked by our table and barked out several loud, raspy uncovered coughs. Well, half the people in our group of scholars dove under the table for cover. Once the cougher had moved on and our tablemates returned to their seats, the topic turned suddenly but quite naturally to colds and the flu and what you can do to avoid them and what you can do to get better if you catch one or the other. We didn't get side-tracked by the question of whether to feed a fever and starve a cold – or the other way around – since, at past gatherings, we had agreed to disagree on that particular question. Most of us were familiar with cold remedies like honey and lemon, so we didn't have to go into them. Arnold Stanley said whenever he feels a cold coming on he takes a lot of zinc and it works like a charm. No one wanted to ask Arnold any questions about his zinc treatment. A few of us just nodded thoughtfully and said something like: Hmmm. Zinc. Interesting. As usual, Charlie Duston, the old hippie, had something to add to the discussion. He was always wandering around the woods behind his house gathering up roots and twigs and leaves of one kind or another and he knew all about Chinese cures that went back thousands of years. They say Charlie could go out in those woods of his and inside half an hour find enough herbs to cure an entire hospital ward. I'm not sure that's true but that's what some people say. Charlie said whenever anyone in his family started coming down with a cold, he always went and got a bunch of sassafras, catnip, horehound and pennyroyal and brewed it all into a strong tea. He said after a few cups of that potent brew, most cold-suffers agreed that they

felt a lot better. A few people at our table rolled their eyes, and Tink Billings said they probably felt better because drinking the awful-tasting tea made them forget all about the discomfort of their cold and cough. Ignoring Tink's comment, Charlie continued. He said if someone at home was suffering from bronchitis, he or his wife Alice would use the leaves and twigs of red cedar that they'd saved and they'd boil them for an hour or two and then let the patient inhale the steam. He insisted that the red cedar leaf and twig treatment was better than

He said the cure is thousands of years old but the ancients probably had no idea why the willow bark and leaf tea worked, they just knew it did. Modern scientists who have studied the cure say it makes perfect sense because we've since learned that willow is very abundant in salicylic acid – aspirin. By then it was time to finish up our coffees and get on with the day. What had we learned that morning? Well, I can't speak for everyone there but I learned to never get sick while under Charlie Duston's roof. n

anything you'd ever get over the counter at a drug store. By now Charlie was really getting warmed up. He said they never buy aspirin for the family medicine cabinet. Why? Because store-bought aspirin was un-natural, it wasn't organic. What did they use? Charlie said whenever anyone in the family had a fever they just took white and black willow leaves and bark and boiled a mess of them into a tea. After a while the strong, bitter tea would break up a fever. Why? Charlie asked, to no one in particular. Then, he answered his own question.

Home Improvement

Going Green

A Window to Environmentally Responsible Improvements

Energy efficient windows can help homeowners save energy and money. With the return of warmer weather, homeowners often plan home improvement projects and many look for ways to do them with minimal impact on the environment. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, heating and cooling account for 44 percent of the average home's total energy use. Replacing old and leaky windows with energy efficient models can bring a significant return on investment when you consider today's high energy prices.

Plus, saving energy is good for your wallet and the environment. Craig Evanich, president of Renewal by Andersen, suggests homeowners look for the ENERGY STAR label to ensure that a window is energy efficient. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, replacing inefficient single pane windows with ENERGY STAR qualified windows could save up to 15 percent on your energy bills. Evanich adds that Renewal by Andersen win-

dows come standard with High-Performance Low-E4 glass that is designed to perform at even higher standards and is over 14 percent more energy efficient than stringent ENERGY STAR requirements. Homeowners are increasingly seeking products that not only help reduce their energy consumption, but do so in an environmentally responsible manner. This means taking into consideration the full product life-cycle, from materials to manufacturing and use, to recycling and disposal. Here are some points to consider: • Choose windows that

are made from recycled or renewable materials. For example, Renewal by Andersen windows, America's only Green Seal certified replacement window, are made from a highly sustainable composite material that blends the best attributes of thermoplastics and wood fibers -- much of it reclaimed directly from the company's manufacturing plant operations. • High-quality windows made from sustainable materials are built to provide long-term performance and minimize the long-term impact to the environment. Evanich says windows made from composite materials can be a good option for homeowners who like the look and strength of wood windows but want the low-maintenance features of vinyl. Because of the unique blend of materials, composite windows do not need ongoing staining or painting to maintain their natural beauty, saving homeowners time and money. • Shop by performance not price. Shop around for quality windows that enhance the beauty of your home based on long-term value, not price. Saving a few dollars now could mean another replacement project just a few years down the road.

Lawrence Area Students Visits Montreal

All boarded a Cyr bus on Friday morning at 6am. A few tears were shed (not by the students). The bus trip was long but the students had fun playing card games and watching movies. As parents and chaperones we were very proud of the behavior of our students at the border crossing. The first stop on the agenda was the Mall, to change money, do a little shopping and eating. We then checked into the hotel, and then gathered the students back on the bus and headed for the Old Port. This was a place to shop, eat and take in the sights and entertainment. There were street performers, a juggling comedian and musicians. After a couple of hours the group gathered to walk to the pier, to board a boat

for a disco cruise on the Saint Lawrence River. We were able to see the city of Montreal at night and dance the night away. Saturday was our educational day. We went to the Montreal Tower and Olympic park, where we went to the observation deck of the tower and we were able to see the whole city. We then headed for the Bio Dome, where the students worked on an assignment for their science classes. They were able to see birds, animals, fish and plants that they may not have seen before. After the Bio Dome it was off to the Botanical Gardens where the lilacs and tulips were in bloom among many other flowers. The boys loved the Insectariums. The girls appreciated the Japanese gardens.

were well behaved and enjoyed the meal. Then back to the hotel to enjoy some

Ronde Amusement park. The students had a blast, running from ride to ride. The roller coasters were a big hit. We boarded the bus for home about 4 pm, everyone was pretty tired, but the weekend was a big success. Although there was some nervousness about crossing the border, Mrs. White was well prepared and we made it back across the border with no problems. We arrived back in Fairfield about 10:30pm. Parents were waiting, and anxious to see their children safe and sound. This trip was great for me as a parent/chaperone and for the students. It was well organized and executed. I recommend it to next year’s class. Submitted by Shelley Rudnicki n
