...Design Sense. Quality Furniture is Worth The Investment
by Derek Allen, Mennonite Furniture Plus - (Lambeth)
Smart and Functional:
Why Solid Wood Furniture
Makes Sense for Students
Mennonite Furniture Gets an
A+ for Durability and Style
As parents, we all know how rough
kids can be on their things – especially
when it’s time to head back to school.
From clothes and supplies to electronics
and toys, outfitting your child with all of
the newest and trendiest in back-to-school
gear can seem like a never ending expense.
Luckily, that doesn’t have to be the case
when it comes to finding back-to-school
furnishings.
Whether your child is just starting
out on their educational journey, or
heading back for another post-secondary
degree, it’s reassuring to know that you
can provide them with quality furniture
that will stand up to homework projects
and late night study sessions.
While quality wood furniture often
carries a higher price, it’s not unreasonable
concerning just how much use you’ll
receive from this one-time investment. I
often say that quality wood furniture is a
lot like a quality education. It’s an
investment that pays off for many years to
come. One solid wood desk that’s designed
and manufactured by a master Mennonite
craftsman can last your child their entire
educational career – beginning in grade
school and continuing through to a post
graduate degree. The same certainly can’t
be said for manmade wood furnishings
and particleboard workstations.
From kitchen tables to executive
desks, solid wood furniture always earns
the highest grade for quality, durability,
and style. That’s because furniture that’s
made from manufactured wood or particle
board is far more likely to succumb to the
stresses of daily use. One ill-timed stunt is
all it takes to bring a flimsy manmade
wood desk crumbling to the floor in an
irreparable heap. Solid wood Mennonite
furniture is built to withstand all sorts of
wear and tear. From markers and glue, to
October, 2011
piles of textbooks and notepaper, solid
wood Mennonite furniture can withstand it
all – and then some! From dings and
scratches, to dents and watermarks, solid
wood furniture can take the abuse without
any visible signs of distress.
Solid wood furniture is also extremely
fashionable. Purchase a bed for your
teenager today, and that same bed will still
look new and modern when he graduates
from college. Instead of purchasing
something juvenile for your child during
this year’s back to school rush, consider
making a long-term investment in style.
Sure race car beds and miniature desks
look cute in the store, but what happens
when your child outgrows both in a year?
Investing in a durable bedroom set or
homework station now ensures that your
child will have a great place to study and
grow both today, tomorrow, and for many
years to come.
As parents, we all know how important
it is to prepare our kids for their daily
struggles. We provide them with healthy
meals, make sure they have warm clothes,
and do our best to answer any of their
questions about life. Children are our
investment in the future, so it’s important
that we do whatever we can to make sure
they’re ready for the challenges they’ll
encounter as they grow.
Solid wood furniture can go a long
way to ensure these needs are properly
taken care of. Many meals will be served
on your sturdy kitchen table, clothes will
be safely stored in a durable armoire, and
many questions will be answered correctly
on a solid wood desk.

Delivering Results at the Point of Impact ?
Good dogs sometimes find themselves facing a little bad luck. Luckily, animal
shelters such as London Humane Society are there to provide a safe and loving home
for these dogs as they wait for their second chance.
The makers of PEDIGREE® have teamed up with London Humane Society and
29 other animal shelters across Canada for the fourth annual PEDIGREE ADOPTION
DRIVE® campaign to show that shelter dogs are good dogs and to raise awareness
of the importance of dog adoption.
As a part of the PEDIGREE ADOPTION DRIVE® campaign, London Humane
Society will receive a maximum donation of $5,000 Canadian in 2011 from the
makers of PEDIGREE®, and will also be featured on the company’s web site.
Additional program activities will help increase awareness for the shelter.
“We are thrilled to be a part of the PEDIGREE ADOPTION DRIVE®,” said
Judy Foster, Executive Director, London Humane Society. “We work with an
extremely tight budget, and the donation from the makers of PEDIGREE® will help
us help keep our shelter dogs happy and healthy while they wait for their new family
to adopt them.”
To help show all Canadians that shelter dogs are good dogs, the makers of
PEDIGREE® have launched a series of Adoption Stories videos online at
www.mypedigree.ca that feature real-life shelter dogs – Bootsie and Phoenix. For
every view of the Adoption Stories videos, the makers of PEDIGREE® will donate
$1 dollar Canadian, up to a maximum of $150,000 Canadian, to their partner shelters
in 2011.
The London Humane Society took in 66 dogs between January and April 2011
and adopted out 69 dogs to loving homes.

...Nutrition News
EFA s SUPPORT DEVELOPING MINDS
Science has proven the importance of omega-3 and omega6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) for brain function, concentration
and behaviour. Research has shown that supplementing with
omega-3s can improve mood, attention and alertness in young
boys with learning disorders.
Three of the most important EFAs for brain development,
behaviour, and mood are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA),
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and gamma linolenic acid (GLA).
DHA is particularly important as a brain “building block” in prenatal and early life, and for ongoing cellular repair. DHA
comprises as much as 60% of the fatty acids in the brain and in
the retina of the eye. Studies suggest that there is a critical period
during retinal development when inadequate DHA will result in
permanent visual abnormalities.
While not as structurally significant as DHA, EPA has more
of a functional role. EPA increases blood flow and positively
influences hormones and the immune system, which support the
developing brain. EPA is also crucial for moment-to-moment
brain cell signalling. GLA supports normal nerve function,
which is particularly important for learning and memory.
LEARNING FACTO RS ADVANCED SCHOOL-AID™
Learning Factors Advanced School-Aid is a delicious way
to help even the fussiest children (and adults) learn, and study
better. It provides the ideal ratio of EFAs to enhance brain and
visual function, increase cell and membrane fluidity, improve
protein performance, and support cell signalling and regulatory
processes. These important EFAs reduce inflammation, nourish
brain cells, and support brain “plasticity” – the ability of brain
cells to reorganize to enhance brain function or recover from
stress or damage.
Learning Factors Advanced School-Aid comes in two
formats: a smooth, creamy liquid with a delicious Extreme Peach
flavour and peach-flavoured softgels that can be chewed or
swallowed whole. Both are formulated with naturally-sourced
flavours and sweeteners, and neither has any fishy smell or
aftertaste.
