Chapel Hill, NC—A study recently published by researchers at the University of North Carolina has found that children are snacking more frequently between meals. The study, conducted with data from over 31,000 children from two to 18 years old, reports that children in the United States are eating an average of three snacks a day, on top of their three regular meals.
Cincinnati, OH—Research published in the March issue of British Journal of Nutrition indicates that Concord grape juice may help support healthy brain function in older adults. Data presented in a double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot investigation suggest such findings.
People often have specific health goals in mind when walking into a whole food or supplement store, so it makes sense for storeowners to aid them in their search for products suited to their needs. This usually is accomplished with signage and store sections, pointing the customer in the direction of, say, the whole-grains section, or the aisle containing vitamin D supplements. Taking things a step further, though, can often lead to more satisfied customers and better sales.
Cambridge, MA—Kids generally grow out of their clothing every six months. According to thredUP, this can lead to parents spending up to $20K on staple clothing items by the time a child reaches the age of 17. In addition, we throw away 68 pounds of clothing and textiles annually—together, that's about 145 billion pounds of fabric sent to landfills each year!
Washington, D.C.—Each spring, industry members visit lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to help ensure our laws continue to guarantee access to natural products. The Natural Products Association (NPA, npainfo.org), based in D.C., coordinates these visits by making appointments for association members with their Congressmen and women. This year, nearly 150 members representing 33 states plus the District of Columbia came to Capitol Hill for more than 140 meetings on Tuesday, March 23rd.
According to show organizers, some 56,000 industry members attended this year's Natural Products Expo West/SupplyExpo, held in Anaheim, CA. Overall, the mood was enthusiastic, though it was clear that the recent regulatory events were a chief concern of many companies. Nonetheless, Expo West offered many educational lessons and was the launch pad for several new products and company initiatives.
Acquisitions, new launches, new partnerships, awards, new initiatives and more.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A public school chorus from Staten Island is heading to Washington to sing during a prelude to President Barack Obama's inauguration.
Sen. Charles Schumer arranged for the 65 fifth-graders from P.S. 22 to sing on the west front of the Capitol on the morning of the ceremony. The inauguration is at noon Monday.
Choral director Gregg Breinberg told the State Island Advance (http://bit.ly/VtmPKD ) "it's amazing." He said his students are "super excited."
The choir will sing "God Bless the USA," ''Home" ''On Top of the World" and "One Dream."
Schumer heads up the inaugural committee.
Previous P.S. 22 chorus groups have performed at the Oscars and the White House Christmas tree lighting.

Exam Week Goes to the Dogs
Animals Often Have Calming Effect on Stressed-Out Humans
May 8, 2014
Shelby Jeffries cuddles with Rosie in a welcome respite from exam week.
Wilmington College students had an opportunity to deal with the stress of this week's (May 5-8) final exams and semester-ending papers and projects with a little help from man's best friend.
Therapy dogs and other friendly canines were stationed in the Robinson Communication Center lobby where students could drop by for a relaxing dose of Rosie, Atticus. Betsy, Henry or Curtis.
These are either registered service dogs or ones whose owners were confident their history ensures them to be friendly and non-threatening in normal situations.
Junior Shelby Jeffries spent a half hour petting and hugging Rosie, a Shiloh Shepherd.
"She's comforting and shows so much affection," she said, noting that exam week can be stressful and a brief respite in the presence of dogs can put a more pleasant spin on the day.
"Students can relax a bit — the dogs get their mind off exams," Jeffries said. "I feel in a much more positive mood. I'm not dreading going into exams, so I can go on with my day on a much happier note."
(LEFT) Kurt Fortkamp plays with Atticus, a Shiloh Shepherd.
Therapy dogs are trained to provide comfort and affection to persons in hospitals, nursing homes, retirement homes, hospices and disaster areas. Their penchant for friendliness to strangers and often calm and gentle demeanor has resulted in enhancing relaxation, lowering blood pressure and relieving stress in many.
Finals week on college campuses is known for heightened levels of stress in many students. The College wanted to provide students with an opportunity to take a break from their studies — and anxiety — to experience the calming effect of interacting with these canine good citizens.
Richard McCarren, who earned a Master of Education from WC in 2008, brought Curtis, a Labrador/Golden Retriever mix that is a retired pet therapy service dog. He is a dog trainer and raises puppies to become service dogs.
"A large portion of the service dog industry is a Golden, Lab or mix," he said. "They want to please and they like to work."
Curtis, who came to him knowing 40 commands, includes among his skills an ability to turn on and off lights, close doors and pick up items as small and thin as a credit card.
(LEFT) Jalyn Thomas spends some time on horseback at an event sponsored by the equestrian team. Team member Kelsey Stone is assisting.
Judy Harvey, assistant professor of English and coordinator of the Writing Center, organized the event and wished to thank those that volunteered their dogs.
"I'm pleasantly surprised with the number of students that came this week and how appreciative they've been," she said. "Many students said, 'Great idea. We need to do this all the time.'"
One of those was Kurt Fortkamp, a junior who is studying to become a veterinarian. He enjoyed spending time with Curtis.
"The dogs are calming and have a real carefree attitude," he said, noting he has a Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix at home. "I came here after finishing two exams this morning with one more to go tomorrow. This gave me a chance to forget about exams for a while.
"I love being with animals."
The presence of therapy dogs comes on the heels of a similar opportunity offered last week by the College's equestrian team.
Ronald Reagan said, "There's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse." The team took that to heart May 1 by offering an afternoon of pony rides at the Equine Center for students, faculty and staff.
Freshman Jalyn Thomas said spending 10 minutes on horseback provided a welcome break from the hectic end of the semester routine.
"That was my first time riding in awhile," Thomas said. "Just doing something different like that really changed up my day— I'm definitely happier. You can really connect with horses."

How long will I be hospitalized for the I-131, & what does the isolation include? When can I go back to work after the I-131? How soon after the I-131 can I have sex? How long do I need to avoid pregnancy?
Rachel Kelz, MD, MSCE, at Penn Medicine responds:
These questions are really import to address with your doctor who is actually familiar with your specific condition. Hospitalization for RAI is rare today. Unless you have specific medical or personal needs for isolation/hospitalization, most patients are treated in the outpatient setting. When hospitalized, the room is draped in plastic to avoid too much contamination and facilitate "clean-up" upon discharge. Most protocols involve 5 days of isolation although the time frame can vary by the dose that you receive and your medical conditions. If you visit the ATA website (www.thyroid.org) there are easy to read guidelines regarding isolation following radioactive iodine treatment.

Aug 26, 2011 - A dual targeting approach, using combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P)-induced necrosis and iodine 131 radiolabeled necrosis-avid agent hypericin (131I-hypericin), successfully reduces tumor volume and increases tumor doubling time (TDT) in rats with liver rhabdomyosarcomas, according to an experimental study published in the September issue of Radiology.

Had been considering this cabinet for weeks and finally purchased in the white. I consider myself an experienced furniture assembler who enjoys it and my home is crammed with "rustic" assembled pine furniture, so I discounted the remarks about "wobbliness" and other issues. Well, pride goes before a fall. While made of very soft, lower grade pine with plenty of filler, there seems to have been some care done in the design and assembly instructions. The hardware is various, the cams are strong but the additional screws strip easily. For the most part, holes were drilled correctly, more or less. I coped with 1) Big holes for the thin dowels were lavishly filled with wood glue, but at least all the holes were drilled deeply enough. 2) Re-drilled enlarged cam holes were off in 2 spots, so when the cams were tightened the wood split a bit, also glued 3) Off-drilled pilot holes for the doors - by deliberately forcing the screws I got the doors more or less straight, but the cheap hinge design doesn't allow for adjustment. In the future I may replace the hinges and the plastic shelf pins (I added 1 inch L brackets already top and bottom for more stability). 4) A knob pulled off immediately - there is a little metal collar in the knob to hold the screw, bu the pine is so soft it just pulls out - replaced with longer wood screw. When assembly was over, I had a headache, an eye twitch, and had to go lay down for a while. But, you get this together and it is just so gosh-darned cute, fit the space in my tiny kitchen perfectly, the 5-foot height is great as it fits under fixed shelving and you can put stuff on top, and it's real wood - now assembled I am very happy with it. With all the issues there are a lot of good things to say, like the pre-drilled holes in the pressboard back, the sides are not plywood, the holes were mostly drilled correctly and it went together square (no pounding with a rubber mallet), nice cream color, well-packed, good instructions, holds tall juice bottles etc., and the nice paneled doors. So I'd say purchase this with the reservation - have wood glue on hand, experience is useful, and so is having extra misc. hardware and tools. Definitely a rustic piece with a lot of charm when assembled - also fast ship from Overstock.
I just received this extra-tall cabinet in the antique white color and I'm not 100% happy with it. It has a crack in the wood in the lower door, which if I didn't have to ship all the way back, I would have returned. The bottom is also yellowed and it is top heavy, so much that it fell over while I was screwing the backside in and could have been a disaster had not someone been there to catch it for me. The top heaviness could definitely be an issue unless you put some heavy stuff maybe in the bottom. But, overall, its ok for the price and the fact that it is real wood is a plus. I wouldn't buy another, but its good enough to keep and not go through the hassle of sending back. If you are looking for cheap storage in a small space, then it is probably fine for that.
Very poorly made product. Wood is bowed. Front door is cracked. Not sturdy. Top heavy.
I was very pleased with this product. I did not find the assembly as difficult as other reviewers, but there definitely were a few pre-drilled holes that were slightly misaligned. However, the extra effort to overcome these minor flaws was well worth it. The cabinet works well for my purposes and looks great.
the pine cabinet is very nice, not bulky and easy to fit together, real pine wood and doesnt look out of place with the other furniture if you have a small apartment and it cannot fit in the kitchen.
This is a nice sturdy cabinet (we got it in white) and it holds a lot of pantry items, which is why we purchased it. The only drawback, and we feel a considerable one, is that it stinks of solvent or heaven-knows what and it took MONTHS for the outgassing to stop. We kept a window open in the kitchen and fortunately we got it early in the spring, so by the time we had to close up for winter it was better, but not done yet. It went one until the next spring! Everything else about it is good quality and has stood up to daily use, but we would not purchase such a "gassy" item again.
I"m usually pretty good with putting things together. This sucker took me over 2 hours... and at times I was throwing the *** screwdriver. The pictures in the directions are terrible and they are so vague that I had to go back and undo some things and redo them after I figured out that I was supposed to do something else first. Completely frustrating.... that said... it's pretty cheap.... BUT, now that it is together it is actually more sturdy than I thought it would be. The bottom is wobbly... we had to prop it with a shim under one leg to make it even. Not sure if that is our floors or the cabinet. The doors don't line up perfect... but it's better than I was honestly expecting looking at some of the other reviews. It actually holds A LOT! The size is very accurate... and perfect for the space we needed. They really need to rethink those directions though... it was a step above figuring it out without any directions.
Good product for the price. I am 70 yrs old with limited use of hands. Had to have help to finish assembly.
A little difficult for one person to assemble, but it all worked out.
It was a complete disaster attempting to put this item together. The screws, bolts, nuts, etc. that came with the item would not hold the item together. Two of my brothers, which are tall and medium built and I could not get the item to stay together; it simply kept falling apart. Finally, my borhters went to the store and got additional nails and screws and were then able to put the item together. The back of the cabinet is sheet wood and should be placed directly against a wall to safely secure your items. I will recommend getting more sturdy wood if available to replace the back. The item is beautiful and for now it is serving its purpose although I am not sure I will be able to take it with me when I move within the next year. My goal was for this item to last about 3 to 5 years.

Skiiers took full advantage of the recent snowfall and cold temperatures by hitting the slopes on New Years Day. Local ski resorts are looking to bounce back after last year's mild winter.
Some people say last year's warm winter was a nice change of pace, then again they weren't skiers.
Last year's record breaking winter had temperatures rising into the sixties. The longest an inch of snow stayed on the ground in Rochester was six days, leaving ski resorts to make the best with the snow they had.
"It's all due to the amount we put into our snow making system. We made investments over the last several decades, which really has made it possible to ski 100 days even with kind of weather that we had to indure last winter," said Dan Fuller, general manager at Bristol Mountain.
Area ski resorts got off to a late start again this year. Bristol Mountain didn't open until Christmas Eve.
But after last week's snowfall left the resort with 16 inches of fresh snow, they predict a successful season.
"Last year at this time, we had about 17 trails open; now we have 29. So you can see the difference between the two years."
Skiers and snowboarders aren't wasting any time.
"It's a big part of the weather around here so if you can't do it, it's a big waste of the year basically, it's a little disappointing," said Travis Crawford, Rochester.
It's also a great way to keep active.
"The exercise factor, doing something, getting off the couch, there's a lot of football and stuff on but I'd rather get out here and do something," said Peter Crawford.
"It's gorgeous, beautiful just being in the mountains and having a nice cup of tea afterwards."
Skiers say they look forward to the different seasons in Western New York.
"I just love the rain and the snow, all the things that a lot of people complain about."
And winter is one they're not about to part with.

El Campesino and Legends: Then & Now
Every Wednesday I drive down to the Jefferson County/Hillview border to pick up my weekly comics and to swing by my childhood home when I have the time to visit the folks. A while ago they told me about a new Mexican restaurant by their house that I had to try. Now I'm a bit of a food snob and my mother is easily pleased so I was less than thrilled to try it. But alas, one Wednesday a month ago I gave in and agreed to it, it was a free meal after all.
As I entered I immediately noticed the Elvis impersonator by the bar paying tribute to the King, pompadour and all. I then noticed that above all the booths were big screens with the MLB Playoffs on them, my kind of place.
The food turned out to be really good. And not just in a drunken off $2 margarita kind of way either.
As I sat and enjoyed my frozen mango margarita and noshed on a #8 platter I realized just how cool it is to hear live performers. I'm not a huge music fan and rarely go to concerts, so I rarely take time out to just sit down and listen to someone sing. But this was really cool. After the first younger Elvis left the performance space, a slightly older Elvis took to the mic and covered not just Elvis but rock 'n roll songs through the ages. After a few more songs we finished dinner and left. The fact that I just saw not one, but two Elvis impersonators while drinking tequila and fruit and eating a burrito made my night.
I returned two weeks later with my family to see the same performers along with a younger gentleman singing known country song. This place was now somewhere I not just enjoyed ironically but somewhere I actually wanted to be.
I posted on Twitter about my experiences and my brother-from-a-very-different-mother, Rocko, replied that he also needed some Elvi (plural for Elvis) in his life, so we made plans to go the following Wednesday and went on with our seemingly normal lives for another 7 days.
The week passed and the time had come. We hit up the comic shop, swung by my folks and then made the trip to 5404 Antle Drive.
We sat down and each ordered a Super Gigante Burrito, a 12″ burrito filled with chicken or beef, rice and loads of goodies and smothered in a white queso. It resembles something you would lay your head on at night instead of a single portioned meal. If you're up for a Man vs. Food style challenge then go for it. If you aren't a fat kid at heart like Rocko or myself then I would stick to a regular sized burrito, combo platter or the fajitas, which aren't only advertised as the best in town, but truly are.
The first performer we saw had gone off stage and next up was young Elvis, I think this made Rocko's night since he's the biggest King fan that I know.
In the middle of his set we were approached by the first performer, Ray Glenn, who ended up chatting with us through the second, third and fourth performers until it was his turn to close out the night at 9:30. Ray turned out to be such a cool and interesting guy that I asked him if he would mind if wrote about him for my blog on The Voice-Tribune's website. He responded that he would love that then told me that he actually used to work for us at our old location in St. Matthews. Reminding me once again that no matter how big this city is, it's still the smallest town in America.
Ray started out tinkering with music while performing karaoke in the Navy, singing in Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, The Philippines, Singapore and even Acapulco, where he shared the same stage that Elvis once performed on. He always thought of performing as a hobby until his then 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with Diabetes. After spending 4 days in the hospital she was released. Once Ray and his wife found out the cost for diabetic supplies supplies they realized that they would need some additional income to cover these charges. Ray found out that Mike Linnigs was having a "So you think you can sing" karaoke contest with a first prize of $1,000 and entered.
Ray Glenn didn't win the contest that night after performing a Kenny Rogers song but he did meet a man named Danny Dale, who's the leader of a performance group called "Legends: Then & Now". Danny asked Ray if he would be interested in auditioning to join the group. Ray first thought it was a joke but then took interest in it. The next Monday he performed at El Nopal in Hillview where both the group and the audience liked him enough that Danny asked him to join. Three years later they're still performing songs made favorites by some of the best artists in the history of rock 'n roll, including the aforementioned Elvis Presley and Kenny Rogers as well as Roy Orbison, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Ronnie Milsap and plenty more.
The duo aren't just musical colleagues but have also become close friends over the years. Ray recalled a time when Danny helped his family when they were in need. "I also remember that Christmas, the family knew we were struggling financially, (Ray has 6 kids, including 4 at home) and with our young one's Diabetes, it was even more difficult! The Family arranged to put together a care package for us, filled with toys for the kids, stuff for my wife, and even a full turkey dinner! They called me outside, told me the family needed to 'discuss some things with me, which I thought meant they were letting me go, that it wasn't working out. Well, we walked out to their car, they opened the trunk and pulled out a HUGE box which had everything in it. When I looked at it, I just broke down! I could NOT believe what they had done."
He doesn't make much performing, usually only enough for dinner and gas money, but it's something he's passionate about. And that's why I chose to include Ray in a post that was only going to be about a neat Mexican joint that has some cool Elvis impersonators. Sitting there with Rocko and listening to this stranger share with us his life story was one of those moments where you just stop and appreciate life. No matter where you're at or what you're doing, it's the people around you that make you what you are.
In closing I'm just going to let Ray say what he sent me after answering my questions. Thank you for reading.
Recently, I was hospitalized and later diagnosed with celiac disease, which has really changed my whole way of life and makes me understand my daughter's condition that much more. It has also caused us even more financial difficulty, and I thank my wife for all that she does to keep our household running, knowing how difficult it is to provide for us all. I also thank the Perkins Brothers for allowing me to perform with them in various venues and shows. I respect them and consider them to be AWESOME entertainers/performers and I also consider them as some of my closest friends! I am trying to do for others, what has been done for me … I would like to bring in newcomers who are trying to get started, have them perform at one of my shows. I have done this for several already. Meadow, a 12 year old who is just a joy to have around. And Joseph, who is just a great young man who is giving all he can to just get better as an entertainer/performer! Thank you all!
Ray can be found online on his ReverbNation page or on Facebook.
Legends: Then & Now consists of Danny Dale, Norma Jean, L'il D (Danny Jr), Brandon Wayne, Rebekah Lynne, Mac Mcdonald, Al Hilbert, and of course, Ray Glenn.

Jets oust Bluffton in ACAC first round
In the record books, it shows that Adams Central junior Alyssa Keller hit one three-point shot in Wednesday night's opening round of Allen County Athletic Conference tournament play against Bluffton, but it was the shot of her life and undoubtedly one of the most spectacular shots to ever come down in the Adams Central gym.
With 1.9 seconds remaining in the third quarter, Keller heaved the basketball three-quarter length at the basket. It hit the front of the rim and then exploded the net and the pandemonium of the crowd with awe. In addition to its spectacular nature, the shot lifted the Flying Jets into a 35-33 lead that would become a key factor when regulation play ended 48-48.
In the end, AC outscored the Tigers 9-4 in overtime play to allow the Jets to oust the Bluffton girls 57-53 in the second game of Wednesday's exciting tournament.
The first game was no less exciting as the Jets held on to a narrow lead most of the contest to pull out a 59-54 win over the three-time defending tournament champions that sent them into the second round of tournament action.
With Adams Central barely hanging on to a 32-31 advantage at the end of the first half of the boys' game, Bluffton quickly jumped into a 36-32 advantage on a 3-point shot by Jordan Leising and a quick bucket by Chandler Okey. The Jets' Nathan Busse retaliated with a trey; then a rebound by Keaton Fiechter put the Jets back on top 37-36. Another basket by Busse and a trey by Kyle Fawcett extended the lead to 42-36.
Midway through the fourth quarter, four successive points by Bluffton's Michael Vanderkolk tied the game at 51-51 but a three-point score by the Jets' Dalton Combs put AC on top to stay, 54-51.
Fawcett led the Adams Central scoring with 15 points while Busse added 14 points to the AC cause.
"I thought we made big plays when we needed to," commented Adams Central head coach Aaron McClure.
McClure referred to a three-point tally by Isaac Luginbill near the end of the third quarter that put AC on top, 45-42, as an example of the big plays carried out by his players.
"Dalton Combs had a big three that was important to us. The guys did a good job hitting free throws down the stretch. That was extremely important to us," commented McClure.
"I thought that our defense played much better the second half," continued McClure. "We played harder and a little smarter. We did a good job limiting their second shots on the boards."
McClure liked the way his players snatched the lead right back at the beginning of the third quarter when Bluffton temporarily gained superiority on the scoreboard.
"We did a nice job of getting back in front right away," said McClure. "I feel a lot better sitting on a four-point lead like we held most of the second half. You can play with more breathing room under those circumstances."
The Bluffton boys' squad had four players in double figures including Cameron Gerber with 10 points, Okey with 13 points, Keith Cochran with 12 points and Vanderkolk with 10 points.
In girls' action, Adams Central nudged into a 10-9 advantage at the end of the first quarter, but Bluffton passed the Jets to lead by a count of 25-20 at the end of the half.
In the overtime, Bluffton drew first blood on a basket by Kara Fiechter, but Adams Central's Janae Blackburn tied the game for AC. Then, Madison Carroll connected on a three-point shot to put the Jets on top to stay, 53-50.
Carroll finished the game with 13 points for the Jets while Blackburn tallied 19 points, including three treys.
Gina Eisenhut led Bluffton and all players in girls' action with 21 points.

Level of difficulty (Flute): difficult (Level 7)
The stimulus for this work, composed in 1924, was given by the French flautist Louis Fleury, who also gave the first performance of the work. The four single pieces "Pan", "Tityre", "Krishna" and "Monsieur de la Péjaudie" (a character of a novel by Henri de Régnier) attempt to depict the nature of these imaginary flautists from mythology, religion and literature. Their specific cast is given by the sophisticated rhythm and striking harmony. It is fitting that this charming work has recently been enjoying increasing popularity.

The levels of difficulty of the
music for flute published by G. Henle Publishers
The levels of difficulty of the flute music published by G. Henle Publishers
"The task is easy - yet easy is difficult"
("Zwar ist es leicht, doch ist das Leichte schwer")
Goethe has Mephisto say this in "Faust II" and the categorizing of musical works according to their levels of difficulty is thus relative in the extreme! Relative – depending on the perspective of a teacher, a student or a performer; nevertheless using our Henle criteria we are trying to differentiate between works, grading them according to whether they are easy, medium or difficult. This classification system is intended as an orientation and a help for those trying to find a suitable work amongst all of the excellent Urtext editions. In order not to be daunted by pieces with the level of difficulty 9, perhaps we might somewhat subjectively claim that with practice Goethe's quotation may be reversed: "The task is difficult, yet difficult [may become] easy [too]!"

OWENSBORO, Ky. (2/13/14) – The playwright, Lindsay Price, will travel to Owensboro from her home in Crystal Beach, Ontario, Canada, to work with students and their teachers Carolyn Greer and Jessica Stafford on the staging of her play that is based on William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
"Cobweb Dreams" follows the humorous predicaments of Cobweb (one of Queen Titania's fairies) as she is tempted to join King Oberon's boisterous band of fairies.
"The Rose Curtain Players have produced quite a few shows written by Lindsay Price in the past few years and I had the opportunity to meet her at the International Thespian Festival in the past. Last year, the OMS drama program produced Lindsay's play, The Snow Show, and took it to the National Junior Thespian Festival in Augusta, GA, and received great response. A few weeks later, the Rose Curtain Players performed Lindsay's play Among Friends and Clutter at the Southeastern Theatre Conference, where we won 'best play'," explained OHS drama teacher Carolyn Greer.
After the success of both programs, the playwright contacted both teachers with the plan to provide them with a new production.
"Both Carolyn Greer and Jessica Stafford have used my plays to great success. Jessica took my play The Snow Show to the National Junior Thespian Festival and Carolyn won the SETC one-act play festival with Among Friends and Clutter. When we originally talked about premiering one of my plays, the idea was to do a combined high school/middle school production. But, when they had over 100 students audition, they knew one production just wasn't enough," Price explained.
During her week in Owensboro, Price expects to be busy. "It's so exciting to be able to see two versions of the same script. But I'll also be seeing other works of mine in progress. Carolyn is using a number of my plays in her classes and they're in the middle of rehearsals," she said.
The playwright plans to attend performances on Thursday and Saturday where she will be available to meet audience members.
Cobweb Dreams Performance Schedule:
- Thurs., Feb. 20 7 p.m. Performance by OHS Rose Curtain Players
- Sat., Feb. 22 2 p.m. Performance by OMS Drama
- Sat., Feb 22 7 p.m. Performance by OHS Rose Curtain Players
- Sun., Feb. 23 2 p.m. Performance by OMS Drama presents

Grilled Broccoli & Orange salad with bacon
I love grilled vegetables. I really find that grilling can significantly improve the flavor of many types of vegetables.
I think broccoli is one of the best veggies on the planet. I love it raw, sauteed, and of course grilled.
Did You Know
That broccoli consumption has increased over 940 percent over the last 25 years! It's a good source of Vitamin A, and vitamin C, potassium, folacin, iron and fiber. Broccoli has as much calcium ounce per ounce as milk and contains a few important phytochemicals: beta-carotene, indoles and isothiocyanates. Phytochemicals prevent carcinogens (cancer causing substances) from forming. They also stop carcinogens from getting to target cells and help boost enzymes that detoxify carcinogens. So next time you sit down to eat and broccoli is on the menu. Remember it really is good for you

Ingredients for this recipe:
- 1 -2 heads of broccoli
- 1/2 large sweet onion sliced 1/2 " thick
- 2 navel oranges rind removed sliced 1/2″ thick
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 4 slices Willowgrove Hill farms Omega 3 bacon fried & crumbled
For the marinade/vinaigrette:
- 1 cup sunflower oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp fresh lime vinegar
- 1 tbsp Orange Mustard
- zest of 2 lemons
- salt & pepper to taste
- red pepper flakes to taste
Simple salad to make & assemble.
Slice the onions, oranges and broccoli. For the broccoli I like to leave the stems if they are not too woody. If the outside of the stems are really tough use a potato peeler to remove the outer layer.
Fry up the bacon and crumble. Set aside.
Clean your grill thoroughly and oil it. I used Basques Charcoal to make a two zone fire one side medium high and the other side cool.
Skewer the onion slices and the orange slices. This will make flipping them a lot easier.
Assemble the marinade/vinaigrette ingredients by whisking in a small bowl adding salt & pepper to taste as well as red pepper flakes. IF you do not have lime vinegar substitute any other flavored vinegar you like.
Grill your fruits and vegetables turning often. I slather on some of the marinade just after they start charring. Don't do this too early in the grilling process.
Remove the items from the grill and chop into manageable pieces. Layer broccoli, onion then orange. Add the bacon and blueberries on top. Drizzle with remaining marinade. Serves 4 as a side or 2 for lunch. Enjoy.

YES! Recommends: Water Environment Federation
It is hard to imagine a world without an abundance of clean, fresh water. To many young people, water is a hot shower or something you put in a squirt gun for rip roaring fun. At the end of the day, however, water means so much more. Safe, accessible fresh water is essential to a healthy life.
The goal of the Water Environment Federation (WEF) is to ensure clean water for all. Since 1928, WEF has been committed to providing water quality professionals with access to the best science, engineering, and technical practices. The veteran organization also understands the importance of engaging teachers, students, and citizens in protecting and preserving local and global water resources.
YES! recommends Water Environment Federation for forging partnerships with grassroots and educational associations, such as Project WET and the National Science Teachers Association to develop a of water-related classroom resources. These materials offer your students brilliant opportunities to learn about and engage in the science, environmental, and social aspects of water quality.

World Water Monitoring Day
World Water Monitoring Day: September 18
See website: World Water Monitoring Day
Together with the International Water Association, WEF coordinates World Water Monitoring Day to bring awareness and engage local citizens to protect their local waterways. This simple but significant activity gathers people across the globe to monitor conditions of nearby rivers, streams, estuaries, and other bodies of water. Though the official day is September 18, your students can test their local waters anytime between March 22 through December 31. Last year, over 120,000 people in 81 countries participated.

Stockholm Junior Water Prize
VISIT: Stockholm Junior Water Prize
The Stockholm Junior Water Prize is perhaps the most prestigious youth award for a water-related science project. The international contest for high school students spotlights their research papers on innovative solutions to today's water challenges. Projects focus on local, regional, national, or global issues. It is essential that all projects use a research-oriented approach, which means they must use scientifically accepted methodologies for experimentation, monitoring, and reporting, including statistical analysis.
State winners and their science teachers are flown to the national competition. The U.S. winner competes with national winners from 30 other countries for the international honors during World Water Week, September 5-11, in Stockholm.
Criteria and Guidelines
Unlike other science competitions, the Stockholm Junior Water Prize weighs the quality of the scientific research paper much more heavily than how it is visually presented.
