After building a successful antique show and flea market with the Salem Collectors and Flea Market at the Salem Armory, Josefine Fleetwood has decided to launch a second show at the Linn County Fair and Expo Center in Albany starting in September. Fleetwood is looking forward to the expansion, and feels that Albany is the perfect fit for this new event. According to Fleetwood, many of the Salem shoppers and vendors come from Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, and Sweet Home, which made her realize the potential for a large flea market right off of I-5 in Albany. Fleetwood says, “I feel our business will be an asset to the community and will offer people a professionally managed flea market where they can sell their wares and earn an income.” The first show is Saturday, September 20, with spaces that will be full of antiques, collectables and much more. Fleetwood expects about 75 spaces filled with one of a kind items for collectors and treasure hunters. The Linn County Flea Market will offer early shopping admissions for $6 while the vendors are setting up between 7 and 9AM. Regular admission is $2 from 9AM until 2:30PM, with children 12 and under admitted free. There is no charge for parking. Those attending will be able to enjoy entertainment from the Musiccafe Rock Sschool. The Salem Collectors and Flea Market has been a sold out show for years featuring 150 vendors. Fleetwood says she has high hopes for the new Albany show and has had a great response already from potential vendors and shoppers. Fleetwood lives in Albany and also works at the Salem Chamber of Commerce. Potential interested vendors, including non-profits, can reach Fleetwood by calling 541-619-5708; or by emailing: info@ linncountyfleamarket.com. Information is also available online at the show website: www. linncountyfleamarket.com. You can also “Like” Linn County Flea Marketing on Facebook to stay updated.
There is a piece of Albany history that thousands of us drive by nearly every day without really giving it much thought. It is the city’s 105-year-old train station located along the tracks at 110 S.W. Tenth Avenue, adjacent to the Pacific Boulevard overpass. The station was built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1909 and, according to Amtrak’s Great American Stations website, is one of the oldest continually operating masonry railroad stations in the entire nation. At the time it was built and opened to passenger travel, Albany was called the “Hub of the Willamette Valley” because not only could you catch a train that connected Albany and the mid-valley to the rest of the nation, it was a major shipping hub for agricultural products, timber, and manufactured goods. Albany was the central point for rail, steamboat shipping, and trucking transportation. Albany’s railroad station even played a major role in Oregon sports when O.S.U and Oregon played their civil war football games at nearby Hudson Field, the sports field adjacent to the still-operating Central School on Ninth Avenue, in 1912 and 1913. Trains from throughout Oregon brought football fans to the Albany station where they could simply walk to the games and sit in the newly constructed wooden grandstands hastily built with funds raised

by city businessmen led by cigar store owner Billy Eagles. The Southern Pacific Railroad was eventually taken over by the Union Pacific which still owns the loading platform and mainline tracks. However, after years of slow deterioration, the station itself was obtained by the City of Albany in 2003. Between 2004 and 2006, an 11.3-million-dollar restoration project was done using federal, state, local and Amtrak funds. As a result, we now have a beautifully restored historic structure, both inside and out. The city also bought other nearby abandoned buildings and tore them down to create a beautifully landscaped parking area. Amtrak now runs six passenger trains with stops in Albany everyday. The Amtrak Coast Starlight makes one northbound and one southbound stop daily, connecting Seattle to Los Angeles. The Amtrak Cascades passenger trains make two northbound and two southbound stops daily while running between Eugene and Seattle. A lot of people ride these trains; last year the Albany Amtrak station generated over 1.7-million-dollars in revenue. The City of Albany has now also renovated the old adjacent Railway Express building and uses it as their dispatch center for transit programs such as buses, dial-a-ride and other transportation programs. Even if you don’t ride the train, stop by the station, go inside, and take a step back into railroad history.

Back to School!
Soak up the last of the warm summer days; it’s time to go back to school! Your youngster may need more than pencils, paper, and protractors this fall; is he/she current on their immunizations? Oregon law requires that one receive a prescribed list of vaccinations in order to attend a child care facility or school. The list is broken into age groups: Infant - prekindergarten, kindergarten sixth grade, seventh - twelfth grade, and college. If you, or your child, are entering an Oregon school from out-of-state, be sure to compare the immunization requirements as they can differ from state to state. The Oregon requirements can be found online at: public.health.oregon.gov, click on “prevention and wellness”, then select “vaccines and immunizations”. You must be able to provide documentation of which vaccines have been given as well as the date they were given. If you have lost an immunization record, and the shots were given in Oregon, a pharmacist who is licensed to give vaccines may be able to help you recover the documentation needed. You can also ask the pharmacist to check that all of the mandatory immunizations have been given. If one is over the age of eleven years, the pharmacist can administer missing immunizations without the need for a doctor’s office visit. Children under the age
of eleven yrs. must be treated in a doctor’s office or county health department. We often associate immunizations with early childhood, but there are several Pamela vaccines recommended Becker, RpH for those attending Rice’s college, as well. State law stipulates that Pharmacy one must show proof & Gifts of having two doses of measles vaccine A “Pill Box Pharmacy” (MMR) before entering college. Many colleges also require a dose of meningococcal vaccine (provides protection against bacterial meningitis). This is particularly true if the individual will be living in a dormitory or other housing group. Tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis (Tdap) should be updated if needed. A relatively new vaccine, Gardasil, is also highly encouraged. Gardasil protects against the Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) which causes cervical cancer in women and venereal warts in men and women. Lastly… you know I have to say it — EVERYONE should get a flu shot! Students are in close contact with others on a daily basis, which puts them at risk for contracting flu and puts others at risk because they will “carry” the virus home. The flu vaccine changes every year, so it is important to get a flu shot each fall. Do you need help with immunizations, or have questions? Call Rice’s Pharmacy (541-752-7779) and ask for Pam. Arrangements can also be made for on-site group flu shots.

Adaptation vs Healing
Earth
The human body is amazing. It is capable of instantly adapting to change. Imagine you are walking along barefoot and you step on a tack. Without any voluntary response on your part your body will not allow you to take another step on that tack. In the blink of an eye your nervous system will rewrite patterns of movement that have been present since you learned to walk as a toddler, all to avoid further injury. This process is called “adaptation” and we are constantly adapting to our environment. Now imagine if you never removed that tack. You would have to make these adaptations in your walk permanent to accommodate the problem. Eventually all of the hopping on your good leg or walking on the side of your foot will cause more damage and a new problem to adapt to. When its put this way, doesn’t it seem obvious that healing is preferable to adaptation? Although adaptation is natural and helpful, it is only good as a temporary fix to health problems. Many chronic conditions that we call diseases are actually the body’s adaptation to a bad environment. Obesity is an adaptation to excessive consumption, toxicity and a sedentary lifestyle. Cancer is the body’s adaptation to toxic exposures.

Fever is an adaptation to infection. All of these adaptations are potentially deadly if they are never resolved through healing. There is a simple formula for reversing adaptation and moving toward Dr. Jason healing: Young Avoid or remove anything in your environment that is causing the adaptation. This may mean avoiding activities that cause you problems, foods you are sensitive to, or even changing your social circle. Seek the appropriate repair for your problem. Mechanical problems like most back pain require mechanical solutions such as massage or joint manipulation. A ruptured ligament may require a surgical solution. Protect yourself from future injury. Take appropriate measures to keep yourself free from injuries. Good nutrition habits can help you avoid most chronic diseases and exercise will help to maintain your joints, bones and muscles. While your body’s capacity for adaptation is amazing, its ability to heal is one of the greatest miracles of nature.

Do you find Medicare Finds Confusing? United Healthcare recently conducted a survey and found that nearly 60 percent of Medicare beneficiaries described their understanding of Medicare as either “excellent” or “good”, but most were not able to correctly identify the health care expenses that each “part” of Medicare covers. In the recent 2013 survey of 1,000 older adults, 1 in 5 Medicare beneficiaries described Medicare as confusing, and most could not correctly identify what Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D cover. Here is some good news. Anyone can master Medicare with some help and education. That’s exactly why United Healthcare created National Medicare Education Week (September 15 – 21); an official week dedicated to Medicare education. United Healthcare is committed to making Medicare easier to understand for the more than 51 million people who are currently enrolled as well as those who will be enrolling in the years ahead. Every day about 10,000 baby
boomers turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare according to the U.S. Census Bureau – that is one Medicare beneficiary every eight seconds. National Donna R. Medicare Education Green Week is meant to Northwest encourage people to financial spend time learning about Medicare. Services The week begins exactly one month before the start of the Medicare Open Enrollment Period (Oct. 15 – Dec 7), when you can make changes to your plan for next year. As your local licensed sales agent, I encourage you to take time to learn about your Medicare coverage options during National Medical Education week. To get started, you can visit online at www.NMEW.com. I’m also here to personally help you with any Medicare question you may have – both during National Medicare Education Week and all year long. Please feel free to contact me at any time. Call (541) 757-7701 and ask for Donna Green.

Bread And Butter Idea Collectables by Karen Rogers
The Victorians had the most complicated manners since the court of Louis XIV; keeping things simple simply wasn’t done. The great silver strikes of the 1870’s and 1880’s in the West provided the raw materials for a plethora of new serving utensils for the table, and many a hostess played a wicked game of “GOTCHA!” with the newest doodads at their table. Even some of the etiquette writers decried this practice, with no noticeable effects. Bread and butter were the unlikely beneficiaries of this largess. Bread boards appeared, with the matching knife and the word “bread” carved into them. Bread baskets with linen liners and toast racks and bread forks - oh my! Honest butter fared the same. Butter molds and paddles shaped it, and butter bells (with a lid, drainer and ice receptacle) held it at table. Master butter knives, butter spreaders, picks, and pats complicated life further. At the top left of your plate sits a bread dish with a butter spreader at it’s top. To its right is a tiny dish- the infamous butter pat. The butter knife travels with the butter dish - this keeps crumbs out of the butter, or the dish may be filled with... butter balls! These
There are a wide variety of valuable antique items association with the serving of bread and butter. are served with a one or two tined butter pick (say that three times fast!). Place your butter on the pat. Now, break off a small piece of bread, about two bites worth. Never cut your bread! Or, even worse, butter the whole thing. Eat your bread and don’t even think about sopping up gravy with it. All this drama takes place at the simple home table, as bread and butter are never served at formal dinners! There were millions of bread and butter accessories made and they are usually easy to find and fairly inexpensive, and many are small and attractive and display beautifully, and they are fun to use! Just try to avoid the temptation of the infamous “Gotcha!”

Buying and Selling a Home — Part 2
If The Walls Could Talk Summer Projects ...
Companions
Travel
This month, we continue our two-part series on buying and selling your home. Last month, we focused on how to sell your current home before you buy a new one, and how to first buy a new home before you sell your old one. This month, we will talk about buying and selling simultaneously. To execute this plan, you have to prepare for all contingencies, and know that if your timing is off, you will face one of two scenarios covered in the column last month. The trickiest part can be timing the financial burden. One option is bridge financing. This enables you to own two homes for a short amount of time. To do this, you need to borrow money from family or obtain a short term loan from a bank or other lending institution to span the time period between when you close on your new home and sell your old one. In essence, you are getting a shortterm home-equity loan, also known as a HELOC, a Home Equity Line Of Credit, on your present house and using it as a down payment on your new house. It is not easy
Since we are still enjoying those lazy days of summer, I thought we would take a few minutes to look at a list of good excuses for not getting started on that nagging summer project that is hanging over you. Unless you can think of Rick a good excuse for not Pyburn reading this, here we go:

Construction • I’m really tired from And mowing the yard last Remodeling weekend. • I have a headache and my shoulder hurts. • I promised Bob I would show him my new golf clubs. • I’ll do it as soon as the game is over. • I need a new saw blade and my hammer is broken. • I’m going to make a sandwich and fix the wheel on the barbecue first. • I can’t find my favorite work shirt and my shoe lace is broken. • I better lay down. I ate too many pancakes, and besides, it’s cloudy. • I think my mosquito bite is flaring up again.

Writing for God — Part 2
Going
This month brings part two in my series on writing and publishing a Christian book. Once you have finished your book, how will you get it to market? Will you use a traditional approach by sending your book to publishers for review? Will you use a vanity press or self-publishing platforms for your book to be distributed? This is probably one of the biggest decisions you have to make as an author. In regards to selfpublishing versus traditional publishing, I lean toward traditional publishing. The reason for this is that it is largely to the benefit of the author. With traditional publishing, there is a higher accountability for editing, promotion, and exposure. The challenge with traditional publishing is the “NO” you may encounter due to the glutton in the market I mentioned. I want to encourage you to not give up and to be persistent and patient during this process. Another benefit to traditional publishing is in the area of distribution. Ingram, Send the Light, Anchor, and New Day are all distributions that do an excellent job in assisting book stores in getting most any title. For us in the Northwest, it is critical that your book is in the Ingram/Spring Arbor Roseburg, Oregon warehouse. One of the perks of having it in this warehouse for us in the Northwest is the ability to get the book next day or within a couple of days for the consumer. One of the big challenges with self-publishing

How Open Are You Buys to God’s Grace?
or a vanity press is the difficulty in getting titles in our stores at prices we can sell at. Many of the self-publishing groups require a certain amount down for the printing of the books, which the author Keven keeps in their garage. The Ferguson, author then has to sell Willamette them without the aid of a Valley strong distribution chain. Christian If the author only wants Supply to give copies to friends and family, then a selfpublishing platform is the way to go. The plus in selfpublishing with a group, like Create Space, is that you can buy in a small quantity. Another downside to self-publishing would be centered on the need for editing. It is not uncommon to find misspellings in traditional publishing. This becomes critical for the self-publishing author. You must get many eyes on your work before sending it to press. I pray that you will take the necessary time to consider all the pros and cons in publishing before launching into your great adventure as an author. Next month we will have the third installment in this series when we discuss “patience”. Meanwhile, stop by our store in the King’s Plaza shopping center in Corvallis if you would like to ask me questions or make a comment about this column. Remember, Willamette Valley Christian Supply is a proud Points for Profit business partner, so save your receipts.

How much will you let God fill you up with Grace? How can you open more of your life to the Grace of God? “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God, have faith also in me.” Jesus says in John 14:1 to show that fear has no place in our lives because He is with us always. But, in fact, Tawny we all have fear. That is Pruett why we need a savior. He wants to fill our lives with His grace, but we can only be filled with as much as we are willing to open CHRISTIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE meets at 7:30AM the second Thursday up to God. of each month at Novak’s in Albany for a When we are afraid, no-host breakfast. we need to turn to the Lord and trust in His love and mercy. God desires to fill us completely, to give us every good gift from above, and to help us find our refuge in Him. With fear in our lives, it is hard to accept these gifts. How do we conquer fear? How do we open our lives to the grace of God? How do we let go and let God? Start by putting your trust in Him, the One that can set you free. Let Him guide your every step. Start with a simple prayer. Talk with God. Have the faith of a tiny mustard seed that God will then nurture and help grow and blossom into glorious splendor. It may not be apparent where your faith will take you, but be open to the floodgates of grace in your life through your trust in God. Tawny Joy Pruett is the Youth Minister at St. Edward Parish in Lebanon and will be speaking at the Christian Chamber Northwest Albany on Thursday September 11th.

Young Life: Making A Difference By Jeremy Ito
After riding a hot, sticky school bus for over five hours, shouts of joy rang out as kids arrived at Young Life summer camp. It’s not just the uncomfortable transportation that had kids excited, but the promise of adventure, friendship and connection with God. Albany Young Life’s mission is to introduce adolescents to Jesus and to help them grow in their faith. This summer, over 80 Albany teens experienced God’s love in four different Young Life properties. Every year, kids come back and tell us, “That was the best week of my life.” A majority of students who come to camp with us receive some type of financial aid from our generous donors. In Albany, there are over 11,880 middle school, high school, and college students (under 25 years old) and many of them are at a critical age in deciding if Jesus is relevant to their lives. We are passionate about reaching out to every single one
of these students, but we know this is bigger than Young Life. Teens in our community need caring adults and local churches filled with those who love Christ and who are willing to step out in faith to pray for, befriend, and disciple kids, so that they will taste and see the that Lord is good. Most youth today can count the number of caring adults who know them by name on one hand. The pressures facing young people today are overwhelming and serious. There was a girl who was part of Young Life who had begun cutting and starving herself to death. It took her Young Life leader two years of friendship before she felt like she could open up and share, so she could get help. Teens need adults who think that they are worth the price of friendship.
Editor’s note: Jeremy Ito is a leader for the Young Life program in Albany. Young life is a non-profit partner in the Points for Profit program.

Why Have Routine Dental Going Cleanings and Exams?Buys One of the most important steps you can do for good oral health is to have regular dental exams every six months. Routine dental exams are for everyone; not just children or young adults, but the whole family, at every age and stage of life. Here are the top reasons to visit the dentist’s office. To Detect Dental Problems - Potential problems can be identified and treated quickly, as opposed to waiting until there is a serious issue which may require more complicated treatment. To Prevent Oral Cancer - If detected early, this is highly curable. To Prevent Gum Disease Periodontal disease (gum disease) is an infection in the gum tissues and bone caused by poor oral hygiene and is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. The condition of your gums can be a sign of trouble elsewhere in your body, not just the mouth. For example, diabetes, heart or kidney disease, and some cancers can affect your oral health.

Health - Studies have linked heart attacks and strokes to gum disease. Having a dental cleaning every six months, along with brushing and flossing, could possibly reduce your risk. To Prevent Bad Breath Dental studies show that about 85 percent of people with persistent bad breath have an underlying dental problem. Good oral hygiene is essential in preventing bad breath. To Have a Bright, White Smile - A hygienist can remove tartar and stains which regular brushing and flossing cannot remove. Plus, the hygienist will polish your teeth to a beautiful shine. Regular dental cleanings, brushing and flossing are vital to keeping as many teeth as possible which translates into better chewing function and, ultimately, better health.

“Cole” Veggies It seems that summer came early this year and you’ve probably already been harvesting many garden crops. This would be a great year to try a “2nd season” planting of Cole crops including Broccoli, cauliflower, collard, kale, mustard, and turnip. The word “Cole” is derived from the Latin caulis, meaning stem or cabbage, and has nothing to do with the fact that these vegetables are tolerant to “cold.” As long as weather remains not too hot and not frost-cold, Cole crops are hardy and grow well in the spring and fall. Do a little research on the type of crop you’d like to grow this fall to adjust your soil properties to the right levels. You can buy an inexpensive soil pH and NPK test kit at Wilco (see note below on what this actually gives you). A full scientific soil test can also be obtained
through Wilco (they cost $60 but give you complete results). Cole crops will grow better in heavier, cooler soils than warm season crops. Word A soil pH in the From range of 6.0 to 6.8 WILCO is optimum. Cole crops are heavy Brian feeders and do best Coons, in a deep, fertile Wilco soil enriched with plenty of organic matter. Because Cole crops can easily become deficient in minor elements, at least part of the fertilizer material should be composted manure or composted vegetable matter to ensure a supply of these nutrients. See your local Wilco store (Now In Corvallis Next to Applebee’s and the Carmike Theater) for Cole crop veggies and other fall veggies, herbs and color assortments. This year you’ll find assorted varieties of Lettuce, Spinach, and specialty greens and herbs to suit your taste.

Stinging Insects
Business
As summer slowly begins to come to end, stinging insects such as Paper Wasps, Yellow Jackets, and Bald Faced Hornets are at their most active time of year as they forage for food that will cary them through the winter. Paper wasps get their common name from the paper-like material used to make their nests. Paper wasps are sometimes called umbrella wasps, after the shape of their distinctive nests. There are several species of yellowjackets. These flying insects typically have a yellow and black head/face and striped patterned abdomen. Bald Faced Hornets are a large black-and-white relative of the yellow jacket and gets its common name from its largely black color but mostly white face. While some stinging insects are beneficial in that they pollinate plants and eat other harmful insects, they also send more than half a million people to the hospital every year. For the majority of people, stings cause only minor swelling and pain.

Lobelia’s therapeutic uses include: antispasmodic, emetic, stimulant, relaxant, nervine, counter-irritant, expectorant, anti-venomous, nauseant and more. I use it in many of my formulas. Dr. Thompson was quoted as saying, “There is no vegetable which the earth produces more harmless in its effect on the human system, and none more powerful in removing disease and promoting health than Lobelia.” Dr. John Christopher says Lobelia has helped the very young to the very old, with positive results when used correctly. The belief that Lobelia is a dangerous poison is really because of a lack of knowledge. Lobelia is a “thinking” herb. It selects the best option based on the individual. For example, when a fetus is dead or in extremely weakened condition, Lobelia will cause it to abort. However, if the fetus is well and healthy, and the mother is weak, it will cause the mother to heal and strengthen, enabling
her to carry the child until the proper time of delivery. It has also helped in many asthma cases, but will only work at its best in the severest of attacks. Lobelia knows when Crystal to burst open a boil Sublette and let it ooze, or Macera, when to drive it into owner, the body to let the Health and eliminative organs Herbs take care of it. Lobelia is an efficient relaxant, and is believed to be the best counterirritant known to mankind. Its action is felt immediately on the serous, mucous and nervous systems, especially the sympathetic nervous system. As a powerful antispasmodic, Lobelia causes immediate relaxation and expansion of any contracted parts of the respiratory system. Lobelia is a very powerful herb and like all powerful herbs, must be used wisely.

We are very excited to announce the arrival of our new line of Sheesham Wood by Porter. Sheesham wood, also known as Indian Rosewood, is an eco-friendly deciduous tree, native to the Indian Subcontinent. Second only to Brazilian Cherry as the hardest wood in the world, sheesham has a beautiful irregular grain structure which is very distinctive in its appearance. All our sheesham wood is sustainably sourced through government managed plantations. It is methodically kiln-dried and treated to protect future stability.
Our hand-joined furniture is crafted from both the dark heartwood and the lighter-colored sapwood of the tree, and an environmentally friendly stain is applied to obtain a beautiful, consistent finish. Because it is hand-finished from an entirely natural product, variations in knots, grain detailing, mineral deposits and minor imperfections may sometimes occur. This is considered part of the uniqueness and charm of owning a one-of-a-kind sheesham piece. Come on in to Rife’s today to see our sheesham dining set, occasional tables and bedroom set.

Having a problem with rodents? Please consider alternatives to rat bait (rodenticides). Currently there are two major categories of rodenticides: The first category is a variety of anticoagulants. These cause the animal that ingests them to bleed to death. A dog does not need to ingest very much to become poisoned. A single bait trap may contain enough bait to cause bleeding disorders in dogs. We can, however, give the dog an antidote in the form of vitamin K to prevent bleeding while the poison is in his or her system when caught early. We also induce vomiting and give charcoal binders to try to reduce the amount of poison absorbed into the system. Both dogs and cats (and carnivorous wildlife) can also become poisoned by eating rodents that have ingested this poison. The collateral damage to wildlife is the main reason the Environmental Protection Agency is pulling many of these anticoagulant poisons in favor of the second category of rodenticide.
Manners
To Know
This category is comprised of one poison, a neurotoxin called bromethalin. There is no antidote for this poison. The EPA is favoring a poison with no antidote because a larger animal such as a dog must ingest a much larger amount of poison to develop symptoms. The amount of bait that is supposed to be placed in a single trap generally does not contain enough poison to cause symptoms. The trouble is that people often pack these traps with more than the recommended amount and put out multiple traps in a single location. The worst scenario is when a dog gets into the bag/ bucket that carries all the bait. Once symptoms develop all we can do is provide supportive care with fluids and try to control their neurological signs with anti-seizure medication. Dogs that eat enough bromethalin to become symptomatic can and do die. So please consider alternatives like eliminating things that attract rodents, using live traps, blocking access points, or get yourself a good mouser like a Jack Russell Terrier.

The Adventures of Pinocchio
Reviews
by C. Collodi
Some stories are retold so often that they become part of our cultural folklore; eventually we are able to go our entire lives knowing the story full well without ever having read the original. Collodi’s Pinocchio is such a book. Walt Disney’s splendid film version of Pinocchio has probably done more than anything to keep people interested in this quirky old book – the great irony being that the film is a very loose adaptation that barely gives a sense of the book at all. Disney alters a few situations such as: Pinocchio is alive before Geppetto carves him, the Blue Fairy is a corpse the first time the reader meets her, and Pinocchio kills the Talking Cricket (Jiminy Cricket in the movie, but don’t worry, he comes back to life.) Although these are pretty major differences, what’s lacking more is the book’s wealth of adventures and characters. The movie may have an easier-to-follow structure, but it is
only a surface treatment of the book. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it very humorous, not only because Collodi Scott has a fun & wicked Givens, sense of humor, but Browsers also because several Bookstores, of Pinocchio’s and fellow adventures were, in reviewer, their words, “totally daughter, random” (such as Amanda the giant snake Givens laughing itself to death). We read a modern reprint of the 1925 edition illustrated by Attilio Mussino; though the translation is a little stiff at times, the crazy illustrations make up for it. However, a variety of more modern translators and illustrators have worked with the story, so if you’re interested in reading it, look around for a full-length edition that works for you. Collodi’s imagination ran rampant when writing this book, inspiring not only Disney but countless re-tellers of the tale. However, to spark a child’s own imagination, it seems to me that the original book would do more than the last 120 years of abridged, adapted, and otherwise simplified versions.

absorbed by the blood vessels and distributed in the body. In the field of cosmetics, the absorption of substances through blood vessels is not desired. This resulted in the development of a high-tech method that meets the high standards of modern intensive cosmetic care. The oxygen system allows for precision shooting of special cosmetic products, with medicinal oxygen, into the problem areas of the skin. They travel through the natural interstices between the cells of the epidermis (biomatrix) down to the deeper layers of the skin, and can there achieve the desired effect. The oxygen injection makes a deposit of the active ingredients into the layers of the skin. In order to keep this in the skin as long as possible and to stabilize and improve the results of the treatment, the consequent appliance of the specifically designed oxygen system is essential. Please call to book your complimentary consultation today for any skin care treatment. We would love to share the options available with you.

Before Summer Ends...
September is the month when summer comes to an end, trees change color, the air becomes cooler, school is back up and running, and we all look back at the season that is passing. Before summer ends, there are a couple of movies that can always bring us back to those lazy, hazy, crazy days, and now is as good a time as any to watch them. Now that the Discovery Channel’s annual Shark Week is over and the SciFi Channel has bombarded us with a whole string of ridiculous shark movies including, “Sharktopus”, “Sharkodile”, “Ghost Shark”, “Megashark”, “Sharknado” and the surprisingly entertaining “Sharnado 2” in which a water spout over the Atlantic picks up thousands of ravenous sharks and then dumps them on New York City, let’s turn our attention to the original “Jaws”. The year is 1975 and the movie theaters are packed when the film opens to John Williams pulse-pounding musical score. A woman goes for a dip in the ocean when she is suddenly pulled under water only to bob up several times and be pulled down again. Thus begins a classic movie about the battle of three men, played by Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss, against one of the biggest, nastiest, and meanest great white sharks the world had ever seen. This
movie was responsible for people staying out of the ocean for years! The next movie is “American Graffiti” from 1973. The catch line for this movie was, “Where were you in ‘62”. Rick This really resonates Rogers with me since, like Movies the characters in the and DVDs movie, 1962 was the year I graduated from Albany Union High School. The movie centers around the final night a group of graduates will spend together and the situations they get themselves into that night. The cast includes Ron Howard, Cindi Williams and Richard Dreyfuss, among many other familiar faces. It also featured one of radio’s most famous rock and roll D.J.s, Wolfman Jack. Almost every teenager on the West Coast in 1962 listened to the Wolfman’s nightly radio program broadcast from a transmitter just over the border in Mexico with a range that would never be allowed for a radio station in the U.S. This movie brings back a lot of memories: Vietnam was just getting started, the Cuban Missile Crisis was still ahead of us in 1962, and we were all going out to conquer the world. You can get “Jaws” and “American Graffiti” at many stores that have a DVD department or from just about any online source. I’ll see you in the fall.
