Natural Perspectives

WARM WEATHER GEAR IS HERE! Farmacy

For the healthMinded individual

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

When exactly did we forget that cleanly living off what the earth naturally provides will keep us healthy? Perhaps such an assertion sounds too far-fetched in some circles yet utilizing the lost art of common sense we all innately know this truth. I have this inner sense that if we humans would just get out of the way all would work itself out better, much better, than the plans of us mice and men.

Increasingly, we are seeing the squeezing of our healthy food supply chain as we are all being ushered into corporate frankenfood creations that keep us sick.

Anyone else have a Little Debbie today? While nobody seems to be investigating, chicken farms are going up in flames. Anyone heard about the government shaking down the Lancaster farmer? Internationally, there is a war against farmers. Canadian farmers and truckers have had enough. The situation is not dire, yet you would have to have your head stuck in the sand not to see that trouble is ahead.

Food and beverage are no longer to be taken for granted. If you wanted to get rid of GMO products laden with pesticides, plastics, sugars, carcinogenic tidbits in all categories such as aspartame, preservatives, dyes, binders and all the rest, you would be increasingly hard pressed to do so.

The food you eat, the water you drink, the air you breathe, are all contributing to disease and despair. Think I am mistaken?

You know I am not. You’re just unwilling to believe that this is where we find ourselves. I am in disbelief myself and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Or is there…?

Because we find ourselves in a deplorable state of health collectively as a nation, perhaps we should rethink what we have been promoting the last few decades and do the opposite.

I have been giving much thought to the statement that “food will be your medicine or medicine will be your food.” Nobody can argue that vast amounts of drugs are consumed daily like food-three times per day. Drugs have become a dining experience here in America. Something is very wrong. It’s simply not working out the way it was all promised in the brochure.

The line at the pharmacy is long both inside the store and of course, the drug-through (sorry I meant drive-through) is always busy.

School Board

Continued from page 7 the current high school policy for students that do not meet minimum passing scores. Currently, the minimum passing grade is 55% for students, which was lowered from 65% during the Covid-19 pandemic. Included in that percentage are the final exam weighted total of 12% of a students’ grade, with each of the four marking periods accounting for 22% of the weighted total. However, the proposed change would make the final exam worth 8% of the weighted total and each marking period worth 23% of the weighted total, which more accu- rately displays a student’s progress over the course of each marking period rather than placing so much weight on one final exam.

Additionally, students that are below passing will also have a onetime chance per year for all classes during marking periods one through three to pull their grades up to the 55% minimum passing grade upon signing a remediation contract and completing all necessary assignments outlined by their teachers during a two-week period.

Approximately 400 students would have benefited from this opportunity this year, with the majority of those students being in Grade 9.

“The proposed remediation contracts will help give students a second chance to raise their level of learning,” said Kovalchik. School board directors will be able to vote on implementing the proposed remediation contracts in the high school manual for the upcoming school year during the next Northampton School Board meeting on Monday, June 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the Northampton Area High School auditorium, located at 1619 Laubach Ave.

All other regular agenda items were approved by board members unanimously. A copy of the detailed agenda can be found on the district website for further review.

Continued from page 3 tially isolated by foliage, and you may just need to cover some areas with screens to get full privacy.

A simple way to do this: Extend a cable from tree branches or poles set in concrete and hang inexpensive fabric screens. You can also hang the screen from a 2×4 header set on posts. You probably can cover a 10-foot opening for less than $200.

Plant trees or shrubs

Vegetation establishes privacy in an organic way. But even fastgrowing varieties take years to mature, so take on this project with an eye toward the future.

Most common privacy trees are hardy in most USDA Plant Hardiness Zones, including Leyland Cypress, Thuja Green Giant and Emerald Green Arborvitae. Hydrangea, lilac and yew are popular shrubs that can provide privacy in a year or two.

Continued from page 10

Thinking upon this debacle recently was when the pharmacy/ farmacy/farm-a-sea thoughts danced across my psyche. Just the play on words alone really is powerful isn’t it? I think so, and ruminating on this it is clear that real food, from our lands and seas, holds the answers to 90% of your health problems. The other 10% you are on your own.

The problem with sticking to filling a farmacy prescription is that not all farmacies are the same. Furthermore, all naturaltype foods, whether they be fruit, vegetables, meats from the land or products of the sea, can all be straight up great for you, okay, or simply terrible for health. It takes a lot of due diligence to figure out food consumption these days.

It should not be this hard.

I earnestly wish I had a solution. Alas, I do not. However, I do believe that the answer is rooted in our local farmacy. When more of us understand this, I believe we can eat our way out of poor health. My best to you.

Area settlement To celebrate 295th Anniversary

Submitted by PEGGY

SPENGLER-MOSER

This year marks the 295th anniversary of Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement. The founders settled the towns of Bath and Northampton, along with Allen and East Allen Township. Most are buried in Horner’s Cemetery.

As the Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society prepares for the festival, we are asking the public if they would like to help plan the anniversary celebration which will be held on Saturday, September 9. Admission will be free.

This community festival will offer volunteer opportunities for everyone who wants to help with a short term project.

Can you volunteer for three onsite planning meetings, once a month for three months? We need help signing people in, handing out surveys after the cemetery tours, serving snacks and water, and helping set up and take down tables.

If you would rather volunteer behind the scenes, we could use help with advertising with posters, letters, phone calls and newspaper articles. Or, can you cut grass or weed whack once every other month?

For more information or to volunteer, please call Peggy at 610984-4532.
