In many ways, spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation can be considered a home’s utility player, because it offers multiple benefits including lowering energy bills, eliminating dust and allergens and even reducing noise from outside sources. The versatility that spray foam offers comes from the fact that it serves not just as insulation but also helps seal air leaks. Some products can even act as moisture barriers. SPF is applied as a liquid and quickly expands into a high R-value foam insulation and air sealant. This process makes it highly effective at keeping cold air out by sealing cracks, seams and joints. By removing these drafts, SPF provides a major boost for improving energy efficiency—as approximately 40 percent of energy lost in buildings and homes is due to air leaks. A recent evaluation of weatherized homes by the U.S. Depart- We will replace your: General Contractor Springs, Cables, Rollers & Pulleys ment of Energy found that homeowners could save an average of $283 a year in energy costs.

It was decided to use the old fair office building that was originally built in 1927 by Eugene George of Aquashicola to advertise his plumbing and heating supplies. He later gave this to the fair association when it was used as the office until 1970 when a new office was erected.

This is a problem we will gladly deal with. A solution will be found. In the meantime our museum is one of the most popular attractions at the fair as people relate their own special stories that our objects bring to mind. The fair museum is a labor of love for Chairperson Dorothy Davidson and her committee. Their hard work does not go unnoticed as the patrons contentedly stroll through the displays. Nostalgia. Education. Enjoyment. That is what we strive for and believe that we have achieved.

That’s because a healthy mind can help you pursue all the things you love to do, whether it’s organizing activities for your family and friends, pursuing a new hobby or even learning a new language. Recently, a group of experts from various relevant fields participated in a Cognitive Health Roundtable. According to these experts, there are four pillars of cognitive health: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and cognitive exercise. Here are some tips to help keep your mind alive and active-whatever your age: • Nutrition: Dr. Thomas Shea, University of Massachusetts Lowell, said that in addition to eating a healthy, well-balanced diet, supplements may be needed to complement healthy eating patterns and to ensure adequate nutrition. Dr. Ruth Remington, University of Massachusetts Lowell, reported that research suggests that certain nutrients-such as folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin E-and antioxidants may help protect and support healthy brain function and memory. • Physical Activity: Dr. Erin Snook, University of Massachusetts Amherst, said that keeping the body active often results in a more active mind. Adults should strive to be physically active for 30 minutes three or Latch Key & Full Day Care • Teachers with 10+Years Experience • Security Entrance • State Licensed more days a week. • Sleep: Experts Continued on Page 27 Kids’ Learning Kingdom 9 West Street, Nazareth, PA (610-746-9100) “We Make Learning Fun” Open Monday-Friday 6:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Quality Care At Reasonable Cost ...

According to Dr. Jeffrey Ellenbogen, Harvard Medical School, putting your brain and body to sleep is not like put- ting your computer to sleep. Sleep is an active, rich and complex biological process that works to improve your cognitive function. • Cognitive Exercise: Just as it’s important to exercise the body, it’s also important to exercise the mind. John Gabrieli, Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, described the benefits of finding new and challenging things to do that stretch you beyond the daily norm. He argued for continually challenging the mind with crossword puzzles, games and new hobbies that help the mind stay sharp and active. The roundtable was sponsored by Nature Made®, the nation’s No. 1 best-selling brand of vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements in the food, drug, mass and club channels. The supplement company is considered a pioneer in the area of cognitive health. For more information, visit www.naturemade. com.
