terms with their shattered family

women offers very strong roles for
an ensemble of six actresses. “Belles”

punch after all these years. Admission: $11 adults and $7 students.

the President.” During the session,
participants will follow President
Rutherford B. Hayes on his trip to
the southern states shortly after he
was elected president in 1877. The
wounds of the Civil War still were
healing and Hayes felt the trip would
demonstrate that all states still were
“united.” Find out what kind of a welcome he received and make your
own 19th century welcome banner.
Plus, get another stamp in your
“passport.” Participants can come
and go as they like during the threehour session. The price includes

Conservation program improves wildlife habitat
F
armers and landowners
in Lake Erie watershed
counties can provide
quality wildlife habitat
and improve their property by
participating in the Lake Erie
Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program.
It helps them voluntarily protect environmentally sensitive
land, decrease erosion, create wildlife habitat, and safeguard ground
and surface water. It is focused on
improving water quality and soil
conservation, with a special emphasis on the Blanchard and Tiffin
rivers as important tributaries on
the Maumee River.
T he prog ra m combines
resources from the Farm Service
Agency, Division of Wildlife, Pheasants Forever, and the Conservation
Action Project to enroll 67,000 acres
of farmland in a variety of conservation practices.
The practices target areas to
reduce sediment and nutrients,
prevent water pollution, minimize
the risk of flooding and enhance
wildlife habitat.
Farmers and landowners can
choose from a number of practices
that provide critical wildlife habitat, including wetland restorations,
floodplain grass buffer strips, and
windbreaks that work to prevent
chemicals, soils, and other contaminants from running off cropland and
into waterways.
Participants can earn money on
less valuable cropland, such as areas
that historically lay wet, as well as
cropland bordering ditch banks,
streams and woodlots.
In exchange for installing and
maintaining these practices, landowners earn a guaranteed annual
rental payment for 14 to 15 years,
plus they receive cost share and
incentives to cover the majority of
the cost of practice installation. The
Farm Service Agency can provide
landowners with an estimate of the
payments they will be eligible to
receive for the duration of the contract period.
The Lake Erie program is available in Allen, Ashland, Auglaize,
Crawford, Defiance, Erie, Fulton,
Hancock, Hardin, Henry, Huron,
Lucas, Lorain, Marion, Medina,
Mercer, Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam,
Richland, Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby,
Van Wert, Williams, Wood and
Wyandot counties.
Landowners can contact Mark
Witt, state Division of Wildlife private lands biologist, for technical
assistance at 419-898-0960, ext. 26.
Along the Way:
Native Ohio butterflies are the
featured species for the seventh
Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp Photo
Contest. Butterflies come in a countless number of colors. Whether
taking flight or resting on a leaf,
these beautifully graceful insects
deserve to be showcased on the
2016 stamp.
Butterflies have intricate designs
on their wings in addition to different color combinations.
In order to photograph a butterfly, you’ll also need a lot of patience.
Head out in the early morning for
slow-moving butterflies, and later
in the day to capture more activity.
Contestants must be 18 years of
age or older and entries must be submitted in a horizontal format. Winners are ineligible to participate in
the competition for two years. The
selection of the winning photo will
be made in September.
Learn more about native butterfly species and the contest rules by
visiting www.wildohio.gov. Entries
will be accepted Aug. 10-23, and the
winner will receive $500.
For a limited time, stamp collectors and conservationists can still
purchase the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
and 2014 stamps from the website.

Oldest complete copy H O M E
of Ten Commandments What to do with the kids when summer comes?
displayed in Israel
By JENNY SCHAUB
JERUSALEM (AP) — The
world’s oldest complete copy of
the Ten Commandments is on
rare display at Israel’s national
museum in an exhibit of objects
from pivotal moments in civilization.
The 2,000-year-old Dead Sea
Scroll belongs to a collection of
the world’s most ancient biblical
manuscripts discovered near the
Dead Sea.
The brittle manuscript has
never before been displayed in
Israel, and was shown abroad
only in brief exhibits.
It is being displayed alongside
the oldest known remains of a
communal bonfire and a family
burial, the oldest complete sickle
and some of the world’s oldest
coins.
Museum director Ja mes
Snyder says many of the exhibited objects were discovered in
Israel in recent years and have
never been displayed.
The exhibit, which opened last
week, marks the 50th anniversary
of the museum’s founding.
Having children out of school
poses another dilemma: What do
we do with the kids?
More 21 million families have
two parents that work outside of the
home.
The National Endowment for
Financial Education has come up
with options for you to consider as
you plan for the summer months:
• Summer camps. Camps for
children and teens offer a variety of
activities, from sports and arts to
learning about the great outdoors.
In addition to traditional overnight
camps, there are a variety of day
camps. Check with recreation centers and nonprofits for affordable
summer programs.
• School-based programs.
Some public schools have childcare options, ranging from summer
school to fun day trips. Cost and
availability vary depending on the
individual school or school district.
• Babbysitters. If you’re unsure
how to find a sitter, do an Internet
search for babysitter services. Many
sites save you the hassle of background checks and give you options
if a sitter turns out not to be a good
fit. Consider tapping into high school
or college students who are off for
summer break.
• Play groups. Take turns with
other families hosting play groups at
each other’s homes or at parks. The
children stay close and expenses stay
low. Participating in a play group can
trim your weekly childcare expenses
by 20 percent.
• Child care centers. Full-time
care at a child care center can cost
several hundred dollars per month,
but there are a variety of services
available and, if you are willing to do
research, it is possible to find a deal.
To save some money, ask about halfday schedules, discounts for enrolling more than one child, and child
care assistance from your employer.
• Nannies. When you hire a
nanny, you can specify a summer
program tailored to your child’s
needs, including what they like to
eat, the activities they prefer, and
on what school subjects they need
to work. Look into “nanny share”
programs that splits the cost with
other parents.
The most important part is
planning ahead and budgeting for
expenses before they happen. Take
the time to write down all of your
anticipated costs.
Reviewing your options and
determining the best plan will be
different for everyone. Not every
option will be right for every child,
or household budget.
The goal is to have our children
learn, enjoy and take advantage of
summer days.

Hancock County Saves at the OSU
Extension in Hancock County.

Conservation program improves wildlife habitat
F
armers and landowners
in Lake Erie watershed
counties can provide
quality wildlife habitat
and improve their property by
participating in the Lake Erie
Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program.
It helps them voluntarily protect environmentally sensitive
land, decrease erosion, create wildlife habitat, and safeguard ground
and surface water. It is focused on
improving water quality and soil
conservation, with a special emphasis on the Blanchard and Tiffin
rivers as important tributaries on
the Maumee River.
T he prog ra m combines
resources from the Farm Service
Agency, Division of Wildlife, Pheasants Forever, and the Conservation
Action Project to enroll 67,000 acres
of farmland in a variety of conservation practices.
The practices target areas to
reduce sediment and nutrients,
prevent water pollution, minimize
the risk of flooding and enhance
wildlife habitat.
Farmers and landowners can
choose from a number of practices
that provide critical wildlife habitat, including wetland restorations,
floodplain grass buffer strips, and
windbreaks that work to prevent
chemicals, soils, and other contaminants from running off cropland and
into waterways.
Participants can earn money on
less valuable cropland, such as areas
that historically lay wet, as well as
cropland bordering ditch banks,
streams and woodlots.
In exchange for installing and
maintaining these practices, landowners earn a guaranteed annual
rental payment for 14 to 15 years,
plus they receive cost share and
incentives to cover the majority of
the cost of practice installation. The
Farm Service Agency can provide
landowners with an estimate of the
payments they will be eligible to
receive for the duration of the contract period.
The Lake Erie program is available in Allen, Ashland, Auglaize,
Crawford, Defiance, Erie, Fulton,
Hancock, Hardin, Henry, Huron,
Lucas, Lorain, Marion, Medina,
Mercer, Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam,
Richland, Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby,
Van Wert, Williams, Wood and
Wyandot counties.
Landowners can contact Mark
Witt, state Division of Wildlife private lands biologist, for technical
assistance at 419-898-0960, ext. 26.
Along the Way:
Native Ohio butterflies are the
featured species for the seventh
Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp Photo
Contest. Butterflies come in a countless number of colors. Whether
taking flight or resting on a leaf,
these beautifully graceful insects
deserve to be showcased on the
2016 stamp.
Butterflies have intricate designs
on their wings in addition to different color combinations.
In order to photograph a butterfly, you’ll also need a lot of patience.
Head out in the early morning for
slow-moving butterflies, and later
in the day to capture more activity.
Contestants must be 18 years of
age or older and entries must be submitted in a horizontal format. Winners are ineligible to participate in
the competition for two years. The
selection of the winning photo will
be made in September.
Learn more about native butterfly species and the contest rules by
visiting www.wildohio.gov. Entries
will be accepted Aug. 10-23, and the
winner will receive $500.
For a limited time, stamp collectors and conservationists can still
purchase the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
and 2014 stamps from the website.
Proceeds are used for land acquisition, habitat restoration, educational

Oldest complete copy H O M E
of Ten Commandments What to do with the kids when summer comes?
displayed in Israel
By JENNY SCHAUB
JERUSALEM (AP) — The
world’s oldest complete copy of
the Ten Commandments is on
rare display at Israel’s national
museum in an exhibit of objects
from pivotal moments in civilization.
The 2,000-year-old Dead Sea
Scroll belongs to a collection of
the world’s most ancient biblical
manuscripts discovered near the
Dead Sea.
The brittle manuscript has
never before been displayed in
Israel, and was shown abroad
only in brief exhibits.
It is being displayed alongside
the oldest known remains of a
communal bonfire and a family
burial, the oldest complete sickle
and some of the world’s oldest
coins.
Museum director Ja mes
Snyder says many of the exhibited objects were discovered in
Israel in recent years and have
never been displayed.
The exhibit, which opened last
week, marks the 50th anniversary
of the museum’s founding.
Having children out of school
poses another dilemma: What do
we do with the kids?
More 21 million families have
two parents that work outside of the
home.
The National Endowment for
Financial Education has come up
with options for you to consider as
you plan for the summer months:
• Summer camps. Camps for
children and teens offer a variety of
activities, from sports and arts to
learning about the great outdoors.
In addition to traditional overnight
camps, there are a variety of day
camps. Check with recreation centers and nonprofits for affordable
summer programs.
• School-based programs.
Some public schools have childcare options, ranging from summer
school to fun day trips. Cost and
availability vary depending on the
individual school or school district.
• Babbysitters. If you’re unsure
how to find a sitter, do an Internet
search for babysitter services. Many
sites save you the hassle of background checks and give you options
if a sitter turns out not to be a good
fit. Consider tapping into high school
or college students who are off for
summer break.
• Play groups. Take turns with
other families hosting play groups at
each other’s homes or at parks. The
children stay close and expenses stay
low. Participating in a play group can
trim your weekly childcare expenses
by 20 percent.
• Child care centers. Full-time
care at a child care center can cost
several hundred dollars per month,
but there are a variety of services
available and, if you are willing to do
research, it is possible to find a deal.
To save some money, ask about halfday schedules, discounts for enrolling more than one child, and child
care assistance from your employer.
• Nannies. When you hire a
nanny, you can specify a summer
program tailored to your child’s
needs, including what they like to
eat, the activities they prefer, and
on what school subjects they need
to work. Look into “nanny share”
programs that splits the cost with
other parents.
The most important part is
planning ahead and budgeting for
expenses before they happen. Take
the time to write down all of your
anticipated costs.
Reviewing your options and
determining the best plan will be
different for everyone. Not every
option will be right for every child,
or household budget.
The goal is to have our children
learn, enjoy and take advantage of
summer days.

Hancock County Saves at the OSU
Extension in Hancock County.

THE WARM spinach salad was all the rage in the 1970s, but
why take a healthy green like spinach and weigh it down with
toppings laden with fat and sugar? This recipe still calls for
blue cheese and bacon, but they are in smaller quantities and
mixed into the dressing. Roasted orange slices replace the
canned orange segments and quinoa adds texture and fiber.

WHEN WE think of
barbecue we tend to think
of red sauce, but in northern
Alabama, the best sauce is
made with mayonnaise as a
base. It’s definitely different
in appearance, but one taste
will tell you that it was
worth a try.
In classic Alabama style, only
a white BBQ sauce will do
By ELIZABETH KARMEL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
When people think barbecue
sauce, they usually think something tomato- or vinegar-based.
But today, I want to convince you
to consider another breed of barbecue — white.
White barbecue sauce is popular in northern Alabama. I was
first introduced to it years ago
by a friend who was surprised
I didn’t know what it was. She
sent me home with a bottle and
instructions to use it on chicken.
I will admit that I thought it was
an odd concoction until I tried
it. It only took one bird and one
bottle of that sauce to convert
me.
At the heart of white barbecue sauce are four ingredients
— mayonnaise, vinegar, salt
and black pepper. The folks at
Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama, are credited with
popularizing this sauce, dating
back to 1925. The beauty of the
sauce is that it enhances the
flavor of chicken without overpowering or covering it up. The
tangy cider vinegar and creamy
mayonnaise dress a hot smoked
or grilled chicken perfectly.
And if you think about what
mayonnaise, salt, pepper and
lemon juice does to chicken
salad, it all makes good sense!
My version is similar to an old
fashioned coleslaw dressing, but
with less sugar.
Alabama White Barbecue Sauce
Start to finish: 5 minutes. Makes about 3 cups.
2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/
2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1/
2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/
2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
Juice of 1 lemon
In a medium stainless steel or glass bowl, whisk together all
ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The sauce
can be made in advance and kept for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Butterflied Barbecue Chicken
with Alabama White Sauce
Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama, is famous for
this unusual white barbecue sauce. It’s so different that folks who
aren’t from Alabama sometimes look askance when I mention it.
But one taste is all you need to become a believer. In the restaurant, freshly smoked chickens are dunked in this sauce before
serving. Pulled chicken doused with this sauce also is very good.
Start to finish: 1 hour 20 minutes (20 minutes active). Servings: 4.
1 whole chicken (31/2 to 4 pounds)
Olive oil
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Alabama white barbecue sauce (recipe below)
Prepare a grill for medium heat, indirect cooking. For a charcoal grill, this means banking the hot coals to one side of the
grill and cooking on the other side. For a gas grill, this means
turning off one or more burners to create a cooler side, then
cooking on that side.
Use paper towels to pat the chicken dry. Flip it upside down
so the breast is on the cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut
along both sides of the backbone so the bone can be removed.
Gently but firmly open up the bird a little, then flip it to be breast
side up. Break the breastbone by firmly applying pressure and
pressing down.
Brush chicken all over with olive oil. Season lightly on both
sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin side up on the
cooler side of the grill and grill for 20 to 30 minutes, or until
beginning to brown.
Turn the chicken over and brush barbecue sauce on the back
of the chicken. Grill for 10 minutes. Turn back over (breast side
up) and brush sauce on skin. Grill for another 20 to 30 minutes,
brushing it twice more with barbecue sauce, until the thigh registers 180 F.
Remove the chicken from grill. Using a clean pastry brush,
brush the chicken one more time with sauce, then let it rest for
10 minutes. Cut the chicken into quarters and serve with extra
sauce for dipping.
Nutrition information per quarter of a chicken and 1/4 cup of
sauce: 920 calories; 690 calories from fat (75 percent of total

Remember the warm spinach salad? That hot bacon
dressing, crumbles of blue
cheese, crunchy nuts and
those canned orange slices, all
mounded over a bed of slightly
wilted spinach?
I have fond memories of
those now pretty dated creations. My aunt used to take
me to the mall restaurant for
special occasions, and since
she was my favorite relative I
grew up loving those salads.
And I was so proud of loving
a “health food” like spinach.
Then again, no matter how
healthy the spinach was, I’m
willing to bet the rest of those
ingredients weren’t doing me
any favors.
So with spring here — and
spinach being more abundant
than ever — I decided to recreate that spinach salad, with
some updates and tweaks to
improve the nutrient profile.
I swapped out the canned
oranges (which usually are
packed in a light syrup) for
fresh oranges that are roasted
at high heat just long enough to
coax out the natural sweetness
and add depth of flavor. Instead
of using hot bacon grease for
the warmth, I let the roasted
oranges (and sweet shallot)
do the mild wilting. (You can
let the roasted elements completely cool if you’d prefer the
spinach not wilt at all).
Blue cheese and bacon are
added in tiny quantities to
keep the saturated fat content
in check, but mixing it into the
dressing means their flavor
impact is maximized. Using
avocado is a great trick for
bringing in the silky creaminess that cheese usually offers
while adding some fiber and
healthier fats.
The result is a fresher,
healthier version of that ‘70s
salad that made me fall in love
with the now-ubiquitous baby
spinach in the first place.
Spinach Salad with
Roasted Oranges and Shallots
Start to finish: 20 minutes. Servings: 4.
For the dressing:
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar or white balsamic
vinegar
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon blue cheese crumbles
1 strip bacon (turkey or regular), cooked crisp and
crumbled
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
For the salad:
2 navel oranges
Olive oil
Kosher salt
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
4 cups baby spinach
1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa
1 small avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
1/
3 cup toasted pecans, chopped
Heat the oven to 425 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet
with kitchen parchment.
To prepare the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together
the vinegar and water, then drizzle in the olive oil while
whisking to emulsify. Add the blue cheese, bacon crumbles
and thyme, then whisk just enough to turn the vinaigrette a
little bit creamy. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
To prepare the oranges, slice off and discard a 1/4 -inch
slice from the top and bottom of each orange. Use a paring
knife to trim away the skin and pith (white membrane)
from the oranges, working from top to bottom. Set the
oranges on their sides and gently slice them crosswise
1/
4 -inch slices.
In a medium bowl, gently combine the orange slices
with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt.
Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Baker for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in the same bowl toss the shallot with a
drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. After the oranges
have baked for 5 minutes, add the shallot to the baking
sheet and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the edges of
the oranges begin to caramelize. Set aside to cool slightly.
To assemble the salads, divide the spinach between 4
serving plates, then top each portion with 1/4 cup of the
quinoa. Divide the still slightly warm orange slices and
shallots between the salads, then top with avocado cubes
and pecans. Spoon dressing over top of each salad.

1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa
1 small avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
1/
3 cup toasted pecans, chopped
Heat the oven to 425 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet
with kitchen parchment.
To prepare the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together
the vinegar and water, then drizzle in the olive oil while
whisking to emulsify. Add the blue cheese, bacon crumbles
and thyme, then whisk just enough to turn the vinaigrette a
little bit creamy. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
To prepare the oranges, slice off and discard a 1/4 -inch
slice from the top and bottom of each orange. Use a paring
knife to trim away the skin and pith (white membrane)
from the oranges, working from top to bottom. Set the
oranges on their sides and gently slice them crosswise
1/
4 -inch slices.
In a medium bowl, gently combine the orange slices
with a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt.
Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Baker for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in the same bowl toss the shallot with a
drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. After the oranges
have baked for 5 minutes, add the shallot to the baking
sheet and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the edges of
the oranges begin to caramelize. Set aside to cool slightly.
To assemble the salads, divide the spinach between 4
serving plates, then top each portion with 1/4 cup of the
quinoa. Divide the still slightly warm orange slices and
shallots between the salads, then top with avocado cubes
and pecans. Spoon dressing over top of each salad.

Foster Shoe Store
close out draws crowds
The following news items first
appeared in the Fostoria ReviewTimes in April of 1954:
One of the largest crowds ever
to attend a sale in a Fostoria business house, attended the opening
of the close-out sale at the Foster
Shoe Store, 122 S. Main street,
this morning.
The area in front of the store
was jammed with customers prior
to the opening at 9:30 a.m., and
by 10:30 a.m. it was necessary
to limit entrance of customers to
when someone left the store.
AT 1 p.m., the store reported
that it had made 2,200 sales in
less than four hours. The existing
stock of the store is being closed
out prior to restocking it with
merchandise by the new owners,
Ralph Schreiner and Ralph Kuebler.
The Deluge fire truck, once
the fire department’s most effective fire engine, has started its last
journey--to the wrecking yard.
The 1926 truck was sold
Wednesday to the Myers Auto
Wrecking Company. Fostoria,on
a bid of $82.50.
Firemen had stripped the vehicle of all equipment that could be
used on the other vehicles.
The fire truck has been in
active service since December,
1926 and was first used on a
lumber mill fire in December
of that-year. It responded to all
fire calls until abut two years ago
when it had to be towed back to
the station. When that happened,
the second time, the vehicle was
“retired”.
The sale leaves the city with
two trucks, both modern and in
excellent condition.
GENE KINN
The Goddard Chevrolet, Inc.,
was the successful bidder for furnishing the Fostoria police department with two new cruisers, H.
Robert Bradner, service-safety
director, announced today.
The company will furnish the
cruisers and accept on the account
two old cruisers with the city
paying $700 for each vehicle.
The resignation of Glen A.
Peterman, city engineer, effective
April 30, and Ray Darr, assistant
engineer, effective April 1, were
announced today.
Mr. Darr resigned to accept
an appointment to the engineering staff of the Ohio Department
of Highways and will work out of
the Toledo Division office.
Mr. Peterman expects to enter
private engineering practice and
has not decided whether to open
an office in Fostoria, where he
owns his home, or in Findlay
where his office was located when
he accepted the position of Fostoria city engineer.
Mr. Peterman was named city
engineer February 1, 1951.
Interest among the members of
the Retail division of the Fostoria
Chamber of Commerce and among
the general public in the Chamber’s program to give away a Buick
sedan on July 17, is increasing
daily. The car to be given away is
a i954 Buick Special, 6-passenger,
V-8 engine, tudor sedan with gulf
turquoise bottom and casino beige
top. The car is equipped with a
heater.
Beginning on April 26 and continuing through July 17, tickets on
this car will be given absolutely
free by merchants of Fostoria.
Anyone asking for a free ticket
will be given one ticket and tickets will also be given with various
purchases.
Registration tickets are being
printed by the Review Times and
will require that those depositing the tickets in receptacles in
the stores, sign their name and
address. It will not be necessary
for the winner of the car to be
present at the time the winner is
selected, during the Fostoria Centennial celebration.
Selection of the winner will be
made at Foster Park, July 17 at 6
p.m.
It is anticipated that fifty or
more stores will participate in
the program.
Representatives of Fostoria
organizations interested in juvenile delinquency and welfare, at a
meeting held Friday night in the
Fostoria Municipal Court room,
heard statements that liquor and
beer spots in rural areas of Seneca
and Wood counties are selling
intoxicants to Fostoria youths
and no questions are being asked
concerning age.
One woman told the group that
youngsters patronizing one wellknown spot look at adult customers as “interlopers”.
Another person told the group
that he sat in his car and watched
a 16-year-old Fostoria boy “stagger
from the place, get in his car and
drive away.

Teach children
sustainability
Dea r Ea r thTa l k : W hat
resources are out there for helping
teachers integrate sustainability
topics into their curricula?
—
Melinda Zullo, Toronto, ON
Teaching our kids about sustainability and green living is one
of the most important things we
can do to safeguard the future
of humanity and the planet we
inhabit. The North American
Association for Environmental
Education (NAAEE) reports that
environmental education teaches
children how to learn about and
investigate their environment
and to make intelligent, informed
decisions about sustainability. Furthermore, learning about the environment is multi-disciplinary, so it
allows teachers a rare opportunity
to integrate different parts of
the their curriculum while challenging students to think about the
big picture. Thankfully, teachers
today have a plethora of resources
for incorporating sustainability in
their lessons and activities.
One great resource is Green
Teacher, a quarterly magazine
dedicated to helping educators
promote environmental awareness among young people aged
six through 19. The magazine
offers perspectives on the role of
education in creating a sustainable
future and provides lots of readyto-use activities. Green Teacher
has also released a series of
books, including Teaching Green:
The Elementary Years, Teaching
Green: The Middle School Years
and Teaching Green: The High
School Years, each which contain
over 50 of the best teaching strategies and activities published in the
magazine over the past decade.
These books contain kid-tested
ideas contributed by educators
from across North America and
cover a wide spectrum of environmental topics, from biodiversity
to resource consumption to green
technology. Another one of Green
Teacher’s books, Teaching in the
Outdoors, is a practical guide
for getting students outside and
includes helpful suggestions for
maximizing their learning experience when they get there.
Another great resource is
the U.S. Energy Information
Administration’s “Energy Kids”
website, which provides teachers with energy related stories,
hands-on activities and research
articles for their classrooms. Free,
easy-to-access lesson plans allow
students from K-12 to have fun
learning about different forms of
energy and why some are better
for the environment than others.
The website also offers biographies of scientists that discovered
the energy sources we use today,
energy timelines that show how
different energy sources and technologies have evolved, and stats on
topics like what renewable fuel the
U.S. uses most.
A more “hands-on” approach to
getting students involved and concerned about their environment is
to start a school garden—planted
and tended by the kids themselves.
According to KidsGardening.org,
school gardens build an understanding of and respect for nature
and our environment while motivating kids to eat and love fruits
and vegetables. Gardening also
teaches children to nurture and
care for other living things while
developing patience. KidsGardening.org provides a full step-by-step
guide to help any teacher get a
school garden off to a great start.
Meanwhile, more than 5,000
K-12 schools worldwide have
teamed up to network about and
integrate environmental best practices into their curricula, administration and facilities through the
non-profit Green Schools Alliance
(GSA). Membership in GSA is
free, but requires a commitment
to take action on any or all of three
tracks: (1) reducing the member
school’s climate and ecological
impact; (2) educating and engaging the local community; and (3)
connecting to nature and place. No
doubt, GSA is right when it asserts
that schools are “hubs of their
communities that build resilience,
transform markets and policy,
shift behavior, and prepare the
next generation of innovators to
become environmental stewards.”

Among
Hispanics,
Puerto Ricans
seem to have
worst health
Higher rates of cancer, heart
disease among groups in U.S.
By MIKE STOBBE
AP MEDICAL WRITER
NEW YORK — Among Hispanic groups in the United States,
Puerto Ricans appear to have the worst health, according to a
government report.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its
most comprehensive report on Hispanic health, drawing from
earlier research. But it also offered new details on differences
among Hispanic populations in the U.S. About 1 in 6 Americans
is Hispanic.
Among the findings:
• Puerto Ricans have higher rates of cancer and heart disease
than Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, or those with roots
in Central or South America.
• Compared to Mexican-Americans and Cuban-Americans,
Puerto Ricans have the highest death rates from cancer, heart
disease, homicide and five other leading causes.
• Hispanics, as a whole, have a substantially lower cigarette
smoking rate than whites. But the Puerto Rican smoking rate is
the highest among Hispanics, and as high as the national average.
The higher smoking rate is driving up the Puerto Rican death
and disease rates.
“We think it’s the biggest reason” why Puerto Ricans look so
unhealthy compared to other Hispanics, said the CDC’s Dr. Ken
Dominguez, lead author of the report.
The analysis was specific to Hispanics living in the 50 states
and did not include residents of Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory.
The data used for the report came from health surveys and death
certificates and covered the years 2009 through 2013.
Puerto Ricans represent about 10 percent of the U.S. Hispanic
population. Mexican-Americans account for 64 percent, CubanAmericans are 4 percent, Dominicans, 3 percent.
In the U.S., Hispanics overall live longer than whites or blacks.
Researchers call that the “Hispanic paradox,” in which a population with a larger share of poor and uneducated people manages
to surpass the life the expectancy of other groups. One leading
theory is that Hispanics who immigrate to the U.S. are among
the healthiest from their countries. The paradox also may be at
least partly due to lower smoking rates in immigrant Hispanics,
CDC officials said.

Storms of life impact each and every one of us sooner
or later. Unfortunately, some people seem to have way
more than their share of storms, while others seem
to stay clear of them. The impact of the storm in our
lives often depends on how prepared we are when the
storm hits.
I am not only referring to a storm from Mother
Nature, but also to the storms which deeply affect our
personal lives.
Personal storms come in many shapes and sizes. The
storm may impact us emotionally, mentally, physically
and socially.
Storms can hit us when we least
expect them, and we have little time
to prepare.
The phrase “prepare ahead for
success,” can be used for the storms
as well. What can we do to prepare
ahead for the storms in our lives?
A “steel rod” is a term which can
be used to describe a positive belief.
This type of belief does not bend in
the storm and no one can take it from Foust
us. To prepare ahead for the storms
in our lives, we need to develop many
positive steel rods.
Some examples of these beliefs would be: I am lovable, God loves me unconditionally, I am trustworthy,
good overcomes evil, I am a hard worker, I have faith,
I am forgiven. The stronger our internal belief system,
the more prepared we will be to confront the storm and
not be buried by it.
Another way to prepare for storms is to stay healthy.
This takes self-discipline to stay consistent and reap the
benefits. Exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet
keeps our bodies in the best shape possible to fight off
the storms of illness.
When we get a cold or flu, our body can fight it more
effectively if we are healthy before it hits. When we get
a more serious diagnosis such as cancer, the combination of positive steel rods and a healthy life style can
be significant in recovery.
People don’t realize getting enough sleep is important. A regular sleep cycle is crucial to our bodies’
health.
Sleep deprivation can result in depressive symptoms,
such as irritability, poor memory, loss of energy, low
motivation or poor concentration. If we don’t get enough
sleep, we are not prepared for the storm. Proper sleep
allows our bodies to heal and rejuvenate for the next
day.
My mission statement for Lighthouse Counseling
Services is: “Committed to helping you find a light in
the storm.”
As storms of life are inevitable, sometimes another
person is needed to help you find the light, so the storm
can be calmed. Not everyone is as prepared as they
could be when the storm hits, but it doesn’t mean you
can’t start now to strengthen your body for the emotional, mental, physical or social storm. I encourage
you to look towards the light.
Shingles is a viral infection that causes a rash. It is not a life-threatening
condition, but it can be very painful.
Shingles can occur anywhere on your body, but often appears as a single
strip of blisters on the left or right side of your torso. Shingles is caused by the
Varicella-Zoster virus, which is the same virus that causes chicken pox.
It is unclear why the chicken pox virus later reactivates as shingles. It is more
likely to occur in older adults and people who have weakened immune systems,
so it may be due to lowered immunity to infections as you age.
Shingles symptoms include:
• Pain, burning, numbness/tingling.
• Red rash after the pain starts.
• Fluid-filled blisters that break open.
• Itching.
• Fever and chills, general achiness, headache and/or
fatigue.
A person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who
isn’t immune to chicken pox. This usually occurs through direct
contact with open sores of the shingles’ rash.
Once infected, the person will develop chicken pox, however,
not shingles. Until your shingles’ blisters scab over, you are
contagious and should avoid physical contact with anyone who
has a weak immune system, including newborns and pregnant
women.
Bakos
There is no cure for shingles, but prompt treatment with
prescription anti-viral drugs can speed healing and reduce
complications.
Be sure to contact your primary care physician for treatment, especially if
the pain and rash occur near the eye, if you are 65 or older, if someone in your
household or at work has a weakened immune system, or if the rash is widespread
and painful. You may need to be referred to a pain management provider for
pain control.
Complications from the shingles virus may include postherpetic neuralgia,
vision loss, neurological problems and/or skin infections.
Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingles that damages your nerve
fibers and causes severe pain after the shingles’ rash and blisters have disappeared.
Damaged fibers are unable to send messages from your skin to your brain as
they normally would. Instead, the messages become confused and amplified causing chronic pain, and can be severe enough to interfere with sleep and appetite.
Postherpetic neuralgia is generally limited to the area of skin where the shingles virus first occurred and is most commonly found in a band on one side of
your waist or the other.
Symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia can include:
• Pain.
• Sensitivity to light and touch.
• Itching and numbness.
• Weakness or paralysis, however this condition is rare.
The risk increases with age, primarily affecting people over the age of 60.
Treatment of this complication is difficult, and pain can last from months to years.
Pain often starts before you notice a rash, so being proactive about shingles
can better your outcome.
Your risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia is cut in half if you begin taking
prescription anti-viral drugs within 72 hours of developing the shingles rash.
You may need more than one method of treatment. Treatments can include
prescription medications either taken orally, by injection or by skin patches. Interventional pain management procedures are also an option, as well as outpatient
minimally invasive procedures.
Shingles can be painful and postherpetic neuralgia can be an even more painful
complication. However, by increasing knowledge about the possibility of shingles
and its complications you can better prepare yourself about how to handle the
illness if it does happen.
If you have shingles, it is best to seek medical attention from your primary
care provider, as well as ask if a pain management provider is right for you.

not shingles. Until your shingles’ blisters scab over, you are
contagious and should avoid physical contact with anyone who
has a weak immune system, including newborns and pregnant
women.

There is no cure for shingles, but prompt treatment with
prescription anti-viral drugs can speed healing and reduce
complications.
Be sure to contact your primary care physician for treatment, especially if
the pain and rash occur near the eye, if you are 65 or older, if someone in your
household or at work has a weakened immune system, or if the rash is widespread
and painful. You may need to be referred to a pain management provider for
pain control.
Complications from the shingles virus may include postherpetic neuralgia,
vision loss, neurological problems and/or skin infections.
Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingles that damages your nerve
fibers and causes severe pain after the shingles’ rash and blisters have disappeared.
Damaged fibers are unable to send messages from your skin to your brain as
they normally would. Instead, the messages become confused and amplified causing chronic pain, and can be severe enough to interfere with sleep and appetite.
Postherpetic neuralgia is generally limited to the area of skin where the shingles virus first occurred and is most commonly found in a band on one side of
your waist or the other.
Symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia can include:
• Pain.
• Sensitivity to light and touch.
• Itching and numbness.
• Weakness or paralysis, however this condition is rare.
The risk increases with age, primarily affecting people over the age of 60.
Treatment of this complication is difficult, and pain can last from months to years.
Pain often starts before you notice a rash, so being proactive about shingles
can better your outcome.
Your risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia is cut in half if you begin taking
prescription anti-viral drugs within 72 hours of developing the shingles rash.
You may need more than one method of treatment. Treatments can include
prescription medications either taken orally, by injection or by skin patches. Interventional pain management procedures are also an option, as well as outpatient
minimally invasive procedures.
Shingles can be painful and postherpetic neuralgia can be an even more painful
complication. However, by increasing knowledge about the possibility of shingles
and its complications you can better prepare yourself about how to handle the
illness if it does happen.
If you have shingles, it is best to seek medical attention from your primary
care provider, as well as ask if a pain management provider is right for you.
