American Legion Post 10 Ready to Welcome You
By Rick Rogers
High
It was nearly three years ago, the early morning of July 4, when the unthinkable happened. An arsonist set fire to American Legion, Post 10, Oregon’s largest American Legion post located on Pacific Boulevard in Albany, and burned it to the ground. Now, just a few weeks shy of that fateful day nearly three years ago, a brand new post building is ready to open its doors to the entire community for a weekend of activities, food, and fun. The grand reopening weekend will get under way with public tours of the new building beginning at 10 AM on Friday, June 14. That will be followed by a 1 PM Opening Ceremony, the serving of snacks until 4 PM, and then a Steak or Crab Louie dinner 6 PM followed by live music. Saturday, June 15 will kick off with a Boy Scout Breakfast served by the scouts 8 through 10 AM, a hamburger and hot dog barbeque from 11 AM until 1 PM, and then a Prime Rib or Fried Prawn dinner starting at 6 PM followed by live music. Sunday, June 16, the Legion will host a Father’s Day Brunch from 10 AM until 1 PM.
Post 10 Commander Brock Bursey told High Points that the new Legion building will be family friendly, offering a wide range of activities for the former and current military members and their families. Bursey says the Albany post currently has about a thousand members including the Woman’s Auxiliary group and the Sons of the Legion Group. The Woman’s Auxiliary, led by its president Tonya Kramer, has been a nonprofit partner in the Points for Profit program for a number of years. The auxiliary’s current project is distributing artificial poppies to help raise donations for disabled veterans. Bursey stressed that although the American Legion operates for members who meet a certain criteria as former military members and their families, the post will be open to everyone on the weekend of the grand opening. There will also be a recruiting booth in operation for former military and current members to check out the membership requirements and Legion benefits. High Points salutes the American Legion, Post 10, in Albany for all of the great community work that they do and congratulates them on their new post building.
By Rick Rogers Excitement fills the air at Heritage Mall with the announcement that Hobby Lobby, a national craft and home decor chain, will open its first Oregon location at the Albany mall early next year. The huge 61-thousand square foot store will occupy the former Gottschalks location and the space currently occupied by Old Navy. Hobby Lobby currently has 531stores located in 44 states and is a national leader in their industry. Mall Manager Betsy Penson told High Points that Old Navy will be moving inside the mall with a new store located in a space near Target. The Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby announcement marks the first of several possible store and restaurant locations now in negotiation with the mall’s new owners, Vintage Real Estate. The company took over ownership of the 406,500 square foot mall at 14th and Geary Streets in Albany last December. Penson says that having Hobby Lobby as a mall retailer is especially exciting because people have been known to travel long distances to visit one of their stores in other areas. In addition, they will become a major retail employer in the area offering “family wage” job positions. Heritage Mall is now home to 52 other retailers including three major anchor stores, Sears, Target and Ross Dress for Less. Roger Burghdorf, Executive Vice-President in charge of leasing for Vintage Real Estate says, “This is just the beginning of our program to re-tenant this great mall with national brands and unique boutiques. Heritage Mall is proud to participate in the Points for Profit program and reminds everyone to save their receipts from retailers in the mall for their favorite participating non-profit organization.

Greater Albany Council PTA was chartered in January, 2008, to work for the benefit of the entire Greater Albany Public Schools Community. With that in mind, GAC-PTA has joined in a partnership with the Linn County Road Department as a participating organization in the “Adopt-A-Road” Program. Signs are proudly displayed at both ends of the “adopted” two-mile stretch of Columbus Street S.E. just north of Highway 34 to inform drivers of this partnership. Student Desirae McDaniel and Vice-President-elect Chaundra Carter were among the Council members who recently participated in a work session on the road. Adopt-a-Road is a relatively new program created to provide citizens and organizations of Linn County an opportunity to improve and maintain the appearance of their county roads. The County provides safety equipment, including hard hats, litter pickup tools, plastic bags, and road signs. Work is done during daylight hours and all participants must be at least 11 years old. Interested organizations and individuals are encouraged to contact Stephanie at the Road Department Office at 541-967-3919 to get started. Members of the PTAs at Waverly Elementary, Central School, Oak Elementary, and Calapooia Middle School actively participate in programs sponsored by

Indoor Tanning Melanoma In the past 40 years, the incidence of melanoma (skin cancer) in women aged 16-40yrs has increased eight-fold. Is it an environmental issue? If it were, the age range and sex of the afflicted would not be so specific. The dramatic rise in melanoma cases correlates with the rising popularity of indoor tanning beds. According the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Oregon women have the highest death rate from melanoma in the nation. Responding to this statistic, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill limiting the unrestricted use of indoor tanning beds to persons aged 18yrs and older. Melanoma can be successfully treated if identified early. Whether or not you frequent indoor tanning beds; you should check your skin (and scalp!) regularly for signs of skin cancer. Use the ABCDE acronym to help you remember what to look for: A: Asymmetry. If you were to draw a line down the middle of a mole, would both halves be the same shape? Asymmetrical moles need attention. B: Border. Check the edges of your moles, if they are uneven, scalloped,
or notched, they may be problematic. C: Color. Is the color of the mole uniform, or does it have multiple colors? (I.e. brown, Pamela Becker, RpH tan, black, blue, red, etc.) A normal mole Rice’s is uniform in color. Pharmacy D: Diameter. How & Gifts large is the mole? If it is bigger around A “Pill Box than the eraser at the Pharmacy” top of a pencil, it may be cancerous. E: Evolving. By checking your skin regularly, you can watch for changes in moles. Any change in size, shape, color, elevation, or condition (i.e. itching, oozing, bleeding, crusting, etc.) should be reported to your physician. People who use indoor tanning beds are 74% more likely to develop melanoma than those who don’t. However, unprotected outdoor sun exposure can put one at risk for melanoma, as well. To reduce your skin cancer risk; wear clothing and sunscreen to protect the skin, avoid indoor tanning beds, and check your skin and scalp often. If you have questions about how to prevent skin cancer, the pharmacists at Rice’s Pharmacy are available to speak with you. Stop by for a free and confidential consultation.

You Can’t Afford Earth to Eat Unhealthy Shopp
Business
Have you ever heard someone say, “Eating healthy is too expensive?” Maybe you have said this yourself. It’s easy to think this way when low-quality food is readily available on $1 “value” menus at every corner drivethru. However, when you stop to analyze the facts, you’ll find that you have access to many delicious and healthful foods at prices that won’t break your budget. First, let’s consider the real cost of some of the less healthy choices out there. When it comes to fast food you may be able to buy a lot for a little bit of money, but it is really more expensive than you think. All of these foods are carefully crafted to keep you coming back for more. The balance of fat, sugar, and salt has been carefully manipulated to maximize your desire for more. In other words, they are designed to get you hooked and not to fill your belly. In fact these foods are designed to override you body’s normal mechanisms to turn off hunger once

Emergency Funds: Why & How
Idea
Even those who are the most careful with their budgets will have to deal with the unexpected from time to time. Occasionally, financial events outside of your control, which threaten to throw your normal monthly budget completely out of whack, will arise. To be prepared for such events, you need to build up an emergency fund. What is an Emergency Fund? An emergency fund is a store of money that you have available to help you handle unexpected and unavoidable events. Some examples include: • Losing your job • Missing work due to illness • Medical expenses • Essential home repairs • Serious car trouble You get the idea—the key words here are “unexpected” and “unavoidable.” The above are emergencies, but a great deal on the car you’ve been eyeing is not an example of an emergency. Using an emergency fund in these cases would be less costly than alternatives such as going into debt, dipping into a 401(k) or IRA, or selling long-term investments at the wrong time. The answer then, is to build up a pool of savings equivalent to roughly six months of expenses reserved for emergency use
only. Saving for an Emergency Fund Building an emergency fund may challenge a savings rate that is already struggling to set Darin money aside for retirement or other Klarr long-term needs. SELCO Community However, here are three possibilities CU Branch for building up the Manager necessary savings: • Go on a temporary “emergency” budget. Try living for a while with some extra sacrifices—these are likely to be less painful than the sacrifices you’d have to make if you ran into trouble without having an emergency fund • Split savings between your retirement nest egg and the emergency fund. Saving for the emergency fund should be temporary, so you can resume full retirement savings once the emergency savings are built up • Use a windfall. Using part of a bonus from work or a gift from a relative is a good way to jump-start your emergency fund What to Do with Your Emergency Fund? An emergency fund must be readily available, so a savings account is the natural solution. You might also consider a certificate of deposit (CD) because Emergency Fund continued on page 9

They decorate a lot more than just the center of the dining room table. • Think “outside the vase” when looking for containers to arrange flowers in such as old watering cans, enamelware pitchers, cast-iron kettles, champagne glasses, mason jars, and teapots add interest to floral arrangements. • When entertaining, fill a wine cooler with fresh white lilies and freesia for understated elegance. • Start the day with flowers. Place a bouquet by your bedside so they’re the first thing you see. • Freshen up your bathroom with a beautiful display of flower buds. • Revive a veranda with a bouquet of blooms set on an inlaid table. • In a hall, place three single stems of the same flower in three symmetrical identical glass vases. • There’s nothing like the splash of color provided by fresh flowers to brighten time at your desk.

Today we often work in climatecontrolled offices, shop in climatecontrolled building If we go into a public building, we certainly expect to sit in comfort while there. Did you ever ask yourself where this technology came from? In 1805, Fredric Tudor believed he could profit from selling blocks of ice to the Caribbean. Tudor had j returned from traveling with his brother to a resort in Havana. His brother was sick and doctors believed he needed a warmer climate. It was an ill-fated trip for the two young men and had a profound impact on the younger Tudor. His brother died on the return trip before seeing his family. Young Fredric Tudor, had experienced the sultry conditions of a hot humid climate, knew the south was a prime market for ice cut from New England ponds in winter. Ice was already being used commercially and in hospitals. In the Tudor home, ice was always available. Frederick wanted to make the use of ice more accessible for people in the south and he developed methods of storing the ice for long periods of time on ships and then transporting it to sales sites where it was stored in ice houses until sold. An entire economy was built around the ice business, from shipping to storage. People became dependent on the supply of ice for their drinks, food storage, and personal comfort. Tudor was also very diligent in making sure any competitors failed, thus insuring his own success. History recalls Tudor as the “Ice King.” In the United States Dr. John Gorrie was the first to scientifically talk about a cooling machine. In 1842, Gorrie built an air-conditioning system to treat fever stricken sailors by moving air over buckets of imported ice. Ice was not without its drawbacks, it was expensive ($1/lb in Florida) summer supply was limited and it degraded quickly and created moisture. In 1848 Dr. Gorrie created a machine to make ice. It used compressed air to cool salt water and freeze fresh water into blocks. This inspired him to focus on

the ice making technology. He planned to make it available to everyone, but the media ridiculed his aspirations to create ice. When the people who had become dependent on the ice business saw this machine, they realized it was a huge threat to their way of life. Gorrie was beaten and his ice machine destroyed. Undaunted he built another one in secret and arranged for dramatic demonstration of his ice machine at a party in Florida. It was a humid July and while standing with the guests, he complained about the wine being warm, then he surprised everyone by having champagne served on ice. Everyone was astonished when it was announced that Dr Gorrie had made the ice in his machine from Florida water. His invention was ridiculed by those in the existing ice-block industry for its flaws. The machine leaked and often broke down. Gorrie never realized success from his ideas, but they provided the foundation for air conditioning system technology today. He is known as the “Father of Air Conditioning” because his basic designs, although modified, are still used today. In 1902, a man named Willis Carrier, while working on a problem a printing plant had with temperature fluctuations and humidity causing paper to distort and finished prints to be ruined, came up with a method of blowing air across metal tubes filled with a chemical mixture to control the humidity and temperature of the air, cooling or heating as necessary. It was a great success and was developed first for commercial applications – chillers and walk-in freezers, then eventually became the air conditioners we are so dependent on today. Carrier was successful in his endeavors and the world was much more receptive to the concept of the technology. Carrier is known as the “Father of Modern Air Conditioning.” Because of this technology our way of life has changed dramatically. Imagine a hospital without climate control, or a restaurant without refrigeration, or living in Phoenix, Los Angeles or Orlando without air conditioning.

Our incredible local strawberries are coming into season and they are not only delightfully beautiful, but also very nutritious. The bright red color of strawberries is due to their high concentration of antioxidants. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber. Strawberries are a member of the rose family, and are the only fruit with seeds on the outside rather than the inside. Always choose strawberries that are plump and firm and have a deep,

Manager’s Corner By Kathy Dennis, Director of Points for Profit Q: One of our supporters sent in a huge envelope with receipts for our non-profit. However, when we opened the envelope we found all the recripts were dated 2012. Is there a way to turn this in for points even though it is last year? A: What a great question. One that we have been faced with answering with wisdom (as we hope all answer are). Although we’d love to “add more receipts” to the six million dollars turned in last year (to show our sponsors) we have to have a deadline and that was January 15, 2013. If we would allow those “extra receipts” it could change the points totals and possibly the order of winners and payout amounts. Our award banquet is at the end of January so we cannot take in any receipts after that last “turn in”. Keep the momentum going! It will pay off!
Food Drive Can Earn Points in June By Rick Rogers
Points for Profit meeting is June 25, 2013 from 6-8pm at the Eagles, Albany. Pizza Hut will be catering. See you there! Tickets are $8.

Points for Profit partner Mid-Valley Gleaners, a participating non-profit, will be holding a food drive during the month of June. Food collection barrels will be set up at Sid Steven’s Jewelers in downtown Albany, Grocery Outlet in Albany and Linn Lanes in Lebanon. The gleaners stress that they can accept only prepackaged, canned and boxed, shelf-stable, food items. Home canned food, outdated, and perishable items cannot be accepted. The Mid-Valley Gleaners work each year to help about 80 local families who have lost their jobs, are disabled, or otherwise down on their luck. Their volunteers glean from local fields and orchards after
yearly harvests to distribute healthy and fresh, local fruits and vegetables to those in need. They also use donations of food and cash to operate a local food bank. In order to help restock the food bank shelves, Points for Profit is asking its members to bring food and cash donations to our monthly dinner meeting on June 25th. Everyone who brings a donation to the dinner will receive 5-million points which they can give to their participating non-profit, or turn around, and give back to the Mid-Valley Gleaners. Gleaner’s members want to thank everyone in advance for their support during the June food drive and throughout the year. For more information about the gleaners group, go to: midvalleygleaners.com.

The Premiere Story
Let us tell you why Premiere Floor Covering is so successful. It started many years ago as Spencer started on his knees, installing flooring. Over the years, he worked with family members at many floor covering stores, then forming a company with his brother called T & S installations. After years, the two separated and formed their own installation companies. Then, Spencer met Cheryl. Cheryl also came from a background in the flooring trade. In 2003, Spencer and Cheryl decide to open their own flooring store in Brownsville Oregon. As most people laughed at them, Spencer and Cheryl were swamped with work, also making international magazines for the Wilsonart Laminate flooring they did in the Royal Caribbean Cruise call center, with over 7,000 square feet of laminate flooring. It only took three years and they outgrow Brownsville. After that short time, they had to expand over to Lebanon. That’s where Premiere Floor Covering opened its doors in
Finds
May of 2006, and they are still growing. See, Spencer and Cheryl have been in the trenches for many years and they know which installers to use and which ones NOT to use, so our customer gets only the best installers in the valley. We are very proud of all are installers. Also, as our customer tackles their own projects, Premiere Floor Covering has many years of experience behind them, so they can really hold your hand through any flooring project. Premiere Floor Covering has very low overhead, 2500 square feet of warehouse space that’s 20 feet high. This gives us great buying power. It is rare that the big outlet stores beat us. (They have VERY high overhead!) We have a lot of in stock products all priced to move and that is hard for our competitors to beat. Bottom line to our customers is that we have low Prices, the best installers, a wealth of experience, lots of in stock flooring, and GREAT customer service.

longer-term CD rates will generally be higher than savings account interest rates. However, there could be a penalty for early withdrawal, so this depends on how much better the CD rate is, what the penalty would be, and what you think the likelihood of encountering an emergency is. Whether you choose a CD or a savings account, be sure to shop for a competitive bank rate. Just because that money is waiting for an emergency doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be earning some interest in the meantime.

Shopping for Inspiration By Karen Rogers It happens every so often in every gardeners life: After happily puttering away, day after day, pulling weeds, watering, trimming, and staking, some how you just aren’t inspired anymore. You’ve hit the proverbial Garden Wall. The beds look blah, the borders bore you; in fact your little paradise looks pooped. This is the best time to roust yourself and check out other options. Make a pilgrimage to the Oregon Garden or the Japanese Garden. Check out the Master Gardeners Albany Garden Tour! It happens Saturday, June 15, from 10 AM to 4 PM. The cost is $10 and kids under twelve are free. This tour features seven gardens and provides a wonderful chance to talk to the owners. Tickets are available at most nurseries and at the Albany Visitors Center. Hang out at the Farmers Market and check out all the local nurseries.

HEALTHY STREETS PLANNING INITIATIVE The Healthy Streets Planning Initiative is a comprehensive City planning effort to improve community health, develop alternative transportation routes, expand urban green space, and treat stormwater. Healthy Streets serve two distinct, but symbiotic purposes. First, they provide transportation options for all users, including pedestrians, bicycles, public transit, and motor vehicles. Second, they collect non-point source pollution from the right-of-way and provide filtration, detention, and evaporation of stormwater runoff before it enters the Willamette River and the City's urban streams. The goal is to develop an evaluation tool for prioritizing improvement projects throughout the City based on criteria chosen through extensive discussions between community stakeholders, technical advisory group members, City residents, and City Staff.
Why is the City of Corvallis doing this? When the needs of people on foot, public transportation, and bicycles are integrated with the treatment of stormwater, our natural resources are better protected and the quality of life of our citizens is improved. Implementing the Healthy Streets Initiative will meet the goals of the City's sustainability policies and numerous community organizations as well as state regulations and goals defined by the Environmental Protection Agency. When will the Healthy Streets Initiative occur? The project started in October of 2012 and will conclude in April of 2014. A community survey was implemented in November 2012 by Lockwood Research with results posted on the City of Corvallis Healthy Streets website. Technical Advisory Group meetings are already underway and public meetings will be held beginning in March 2013. Public meeting dates and locations are posted below and will also be advertised in the Corvallis Gazette-Times and on our website. Who do I contact if I have questions? For additional information

Put it at the top of your job posting, as in “dog-loving book lover wanted to bring their dog to work.� I recently read a story of a firm who had a job opening for a consulting position with 70% travel. Their first posting made the travel sound like a downside of the job, and they didn’t find the right person. Then they posted the following, “Use your degree to see the world.� They attracted a completely different applicant base and ended up having several
highly qualified candidates from which to choose. Your posting must also include sufficient viewing time for potential BY Cheryl applicants. A Vaun, minimum of Complete at least two Business weeks from Solutions the time the job posting is available to the deadline date is appropriate. With an extended deadline, you will have a greater pool of applicants to choose from.

Hurricane season has started and the IRS encourages individuals and businesses to safeguard their tax records against natural disasters by taking a few simple steps. Here are four tips from the IRS to help you prepare in case a disaster strikes. 1. Backup records electronically Taxpayers should keep a set of backup records in a safe place away from the original set. Keeping a backup set of records, bank statements, tax returns, insurance policies, etc is easier now that many financial institutions provide statements and documents electronically. Even if the original record is only available on paper, it can be scanned into an electronic format. With documents in electronic form, taxpayers can download them to a portable backup storage device such as an external hard drive, CD or DVD that you can take with you in the event that you need to evacuate. 2. Document valuables Taxpayers should photograph or videotape the contents of their home, especially items of higher value. A photographic record can help an individual prove the market value of items for insurance and casualty loss claims. Photos should be stored at an outside location.

Blue Orchard Mason Bees An interesting bee that is found here in Oregon is called a Blue Orchard Mason Bee. The Orchard Mason bee is usually slightly smaller than a honeybee and is a shiny, dark blue in color. A single Orchard Mason bee will pollinate 70 times more blossoms than a honeybee! In addition, Orchard Mason bees are not aggressive. The males are incapable of stinging and the females rarely sting, making this a great bee for gardeners who want the help of bees with minimum risk of being stung. One essential component to attracting and maintaining an Orchard Mason bee population is to provide suitable nesting sites. Orchard Mason bees nest in holes left in dry wood by insects or birds. The ideal hole is 5/16-inch in diameter and 4 to 8 inches deep, which is easy for a person to replicate. So, why not provide the Orchard Mason bee an attractive home in your yard? Making a bee house is a simple woodworking project that takes just a few minutes to build, and is a great project for using just a few pieces of salvaged lumber or scrap wood. A Mason Bee House is also a fun project to make with kids, especially when they can watch the bees build their nest in a project that they made themselves.
Things you will need in order to make a Mason Bee House: • Wood stump or a block of untreated lumber (minimum of Sean 4-by-4 inches) Meiner • Saw Healthy • Drill Home Pest • 5/16-inch bit Control, LLC (541) 570-0095 Drill holes into 1 face of your lumber without drilling through the wood. The holes can be as close as ¾-inch together and should be 4 to 8 inches deep. When completed hang the block at least 3 feet off the ground and place it so that it is facing the morning sun. If woodworking is not for you, then here is another option; a Soup Can Home. • Collect drinking straws or hollow bamboo shoots in a soup can. • The straws need to be at least 4 to 8 inches long with 1 open side closed by the back of the can. • Attach the can to a fence or post at least 3 feet off the ground and placed so that it is facing the morning sun. For more Mason Bee House ideas, a simple search on the Internet will give you hundreds of much more elaborate and decorative Bee House ideas or simply buy one already made.

If so, fostering animals might be right for you! Now that it’s spring, that means just one thing in the animal care world — kitten season! Kitten season is the time of year when cats give birth, flooding shelters and cat rescue groups with newborn kittens that are too young to be adopted. This presents numerous challenges for shelters and rescue groups who are faced with trying to find temporary homes for the kittens until they are old enough to be adopted. Fostering is a great way to help. During this time of year, the need for foster families dramatically increases and SafeHaven Humane Society can get as many as 50 to 70 calls everyday

Salmon and Trout Poisoning
Deal
By Eric Glaze Albany Animal Hospital
We have recently seen several cases of Salmon Poisoning at our clinic, so I thought I’d briefly go over the basics of this disease. Salmon Poisoning is a misnomer because no toxins are involved; the disease is the result of an infection with bacteria. The bacteria come from a flatworm, also known as a fluke, which lives in salmon and trout. The flatworm shares its life cycle with a snail that only lives in Northwestern waters. This snail does not live in Alaskan waters or rivers that enter the Atlantic therefore dogs will not get Salmon Poisoning if ingesting raw Alaskan or Atlantic salmon. The flukes go through a few life stages in the snail. They then exit the snail and enter through the skin of salmon and trout while they are making their runs through our rivers. When the fish are eaten by bears or raccoons, the flukes reach their adult stage and hang out in the predator’s intestines. The adult flukes mate and lay eggs that are pooped out by the host. The eggs hatch out and the larval flukes find their way back to the snail. The circle of life: parasite style. When a dog takes the place of the bear and eats raw salmon or trout, the dog gets the flatworm. Five to seven days after ingestion, the bacterium that lives in the fluke makes its way into the dog’s body and invades the lymph nodes. This causes the dog to develop a high fever associated with a nasty diarrhea thanks to the flukes. Ninety percent of dogs die ten days after becoming ill if left untreated. Dogs recover quickly when treated with the proper antibiotics. People often ask, “How much of a

salmon does a dog have to ingest to get sick?” A dog can get sick simply from licking the skin of a raw fish. I have heard of dogs getting sick from under-smoked salmon. Thoroughly cooking the fish does kill the fluke, and therefore, the bacteria that causes the disease. The disease is diagnosed through a combination of a possible history of exposure, presence of high fever (often above 104.5 F), and diarrhea. The feces can be examined for flatworm eggs under a microscope. A definitive diagnosis is made when fluke eggs are found. Significant improvement is seen after just a few days on appropriate antibiotics. In cases of known exposure, we will often wait to start antibiotics until the dog just starts to become ill. This allows the dog’s immune system to produce antibodies that can help prevent infection later in life. It’s really important for people to understand that this disease is actually caused by two different strains of bacteria. Thankfully most flatworms carry both strains; therefore, most exposed dogs will develop immunity to both strains. A small percentage of salmon fish (between 2 and 5 percent) only possess flukes with one strain of bacteria. Infection with one strain will not cross protect the dog from getting infected by the other strain later in life. Don’t assume your dog is immune to future infection if he or she has had this disease before. If you live in the Northwest and you have a dog, you should know about this disease. If you fish or know folks who fish from our northwestern rivers or if you camp near rivers where these fish make their runs always make sure to do what you can to prevent exposure to your dog.

Memories It Happened One Noon Every once in a while I just get in the mood for a good, old-fashioned western. When I say “Good Western,” the first one that comes to mind is Stanley Kramer’s 1952 hit, “High Noon.” While it was made over 60 years ago, “High Noon” still stands up with today’s audiences. This movie is as good in 2013 as it was when originally released. I had not seen this film in several years when I came across it flipping through the channels and landing on Turner Classic movies. Talk about a cast! Gary Cooper plays the part of Marshall Will Kane. Grace Kelly, soon to be the real life wife of Prince Rainier of Monaco, plays the part of Kane’s wife, just newly married in the movie and departing for their honeymoon. Also in the cast are Lloyd Bridges as Kane’s jealous deputy, Thomas Mitchel as the town Mayor, Lon Chaney as the town’s former Marshall, and Harry Morgan as one of Kane’s close friends. You will also find Lee Van Cleef in an early bad guy role along with Sheb Wooley and dozens of other familiar faces.
The story starts out as Kane is about to turn over his badge to his deputy. News arrives that a real bad guy that Kane sent to prison years ago has been Rick released and, along Rogers with his friends, is Movies arriving in town on and DVDs the noon train to take care of Kane. Feeling a sense of duty, Kane decides to stick around to take care of the trio of bad guys before he leaves. His new wife is mortified and pleads with him to leave. One by one, each of the townsfolk, including his deputy, decide not to confront the bad guys, leaving Kane to face them by himself. If you have never seen “High Noon,” I won’t spoil it for you. Kramer made this movie on a small budget and captured the mood of the small, dusty western town and its inhabitants perfectly. By the way, pass by the 2009 remake and go for the original. This movie is riveting and illustrates how quickly friends can disappear when the chips are down. You can get “High Noon” from all of the usual internet sources such as amazon.com and TCM.com.

Blood Vines
by Erica Spindler Upon the suicide of her manicdepressive mother, Alexandra Clarkson ventures to California’s wine country to uncover her family roots, long hidden by her mother’s unexplained silence on the subject. Sound like a sleepy family drama? Just wait: her trip coincides with the unearthing of a murdered infant, which turns out to be Alexandra’s baby brother that she forgot she ever had. No one in Sonoma quite believes Alexandra when she tells them that not only did her mother not tell her anything about their family or her (Alexandra’s) childhood before the age of five, but also that she herself has no memories of the five years she spent in Sonoma. Her newly-found family greets her unenthusiastically and even with suspicion, especially once strange and violent incidents start occurring all around Alexandra. The book raises a few interesting questions about family and inheritance. The genetic inclination toward insanity, which provides such great humor in Arsenic and Old Lace, here is treated
with terror, as Alexandra starts doubting her own sanity--could she be a murderer and not even know it? The other type of inheritance is the Scott story at least as old as Givens, the Bible: “punishing Browsers the children for the Bookstores, sin of the fathers.” (Exodus 20:5). As and fellow dark secrets of the reviewer, past begin to come to daughter, light, Alexandra must Amanda also wonder if she Givens will have to pay for her parents’ sins. Well-plotted, and with a convincing main character, the book has only one noticeable flaw as a thriller. Have you ever watched a horror movie and yelled “Turn on the light!” at the characters going into a dark room where a monster/ weirdo/alien is known to be lurking? There’s a definite knack suspense writers have that involves the main character being slow-witted enough to not catch on to certain dangerous elements. It works sometimes, but Spindler overplays the trick and makes Alex (a graduate student) and Reed (a veteran detective) not quite smart enough to follow up a few simple leads that would get them to the answers sooner. Still, definitely a good quick read to pass back and forth between friends this summer.

Sharon Anderson Albany Antique Mall
We are excited to announce the opening of our new “Men’s Clothing Dept.” upstairs in the Vintage Boutique. Vintage clothing has become quite popular these days as retro styles have become all the rage. Men’s vintage clothing is especially hard to find because men generally had less outfits than women and tended to wear them out. We have been searching far and wide to find items to fill our new space. You can expect to find vintage ties, shoes, shorts, shirts, pants, military, hats, and even leather hippie vests in our Men’s Dept. Our Vintage Boutique has also had a makeover. We rearranged, made more room, and added a lot more clothes, hats, and heels! Our Vintage Boutique mainly includes styles from the 1930’s thru the 1980’s but we also carry gently used formal dresses from more recent eras. You can also find vintage gloves, scarves, and many different styles of vintage purses. Our hat wall includes over 100 vintage hats! Our boutique has a children’s area with some of the cutest old fashion clothes you’ve ever seen!

In the past 40 years, the incidence of melanoma (skin cancer) in women aged 16-40yrs has increased eightfold. Is it an environmental issue? If it were, the age range and sex of the afflicted would not be so specific. The dramatic rise in melanoma cases correlates with the rising popularity of indoor tanning beds. According the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Oregon women have the highest death rate from melanoma in the nation. Responding to this statistic, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill limiting the unrestricted use of indoor tanning beds to persons aged 18yrs and older. Melanoma can be successfully treated if identified early. Whether or not you frequent indoor tanning beds; you should check your skin (and scalp!) regularly for signs of skin cancer. Use the ABCDE acronym to help you remember what to look for: A: Asymmetry. If you were to draw a line down the middle of a mole, would both halves be the same shape? Asymmetrical moles need attention. B: Border. Check the edges of your moles, if they are uneven, scalloped, or notched, they may be

By checking your skin regularly, you can watch for changes in moles. Any change in size, shape, color, elevation, or condition (i.e. itching, oozing, bleeding, crusting, etc.) should be reported to your physician. People who use indoor tanning beds are 74% more likely to develop melanoma than those who don’t. However, unprotected outdoor sun exposure can put one at risk for melanoma as well. To reduce your skin cancer risk, wear clothing and sunscreen to protect the skin, avoid indoor tanning beds, and check your skin and scalp often.

essential nutrients that junk food does not. That’s right, $5 worth of fruits and vegetables will satisfy your hunger longer than $5 worth of chips, soda, or candy. You end up paying less because you don’t feel like you need to eat as often. Eating healthy foods keeps you from cravings that only buying more food can satisfy. Better quality foods, even those that cost a little more, can save you money. Many of “lifestyle” diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, cancer, etc. can be avoided, and even reversed in some cases, by eating healthy foods. Avoid these conditions and you also avoid high doctors bills and purchasing prescriptions medications. Here are a few simple suggestions to keep your foods inexpensive and nutritious: • Buy foods that don’t require packaging. The bulk section of your grocery store is great for this. You are paying for the bag or box too! • Fresh local produce is often very affordable. You may buy in bulk from a local farm and split the cost with some friends or neighbors. • Make time to prepare your own food at home. You can prepare for the whole week and freeze foods making it quick and convenient to eat later. • Stop spending your money on drinks such as soda, energy drinks, and juices. Water is a fantastic (and usually free) way to satisfy your thirst and get the energy you need. The bottom line is that your health and well being is priceless. Feeding yourself good foods will improve the quality of your life. Really, you can’t afford to eat unhealthy even if it is cheap.
