RECYCLING: HOW CAN WE DO IT BETTER? by Christine Losciale-Thoemmes Photography (below) by Savanna V. Thoemmes

Y

April 2014

ou know that saying, “You don’t know what you don’t know?” Well, that’s kind of what this article is about, only in regards to recycling. I sometimes find myself unsure if I am recycling certain items correctly. I also have people asking me, “Is this recyclable?”, or “How do I recycle this?” And the truth is, sometimes I am just not sure. So, what I decided to do was to ask these questions to two of our local trash/recycling companies, “Haulaway” and “Waste Management”. I explained my dilemma, and I told them that I believed that if we knew the mistakes we were making many of us would certainly make an effort to correct them. They were more than happy to oblige, and answered all of my recycling questions. I even got to take a tour of Waste Management’s recycling facility in Denver. Now I get to share everything I learned with you so that we can all be better “recyclers” together. First of all I have to say, touring the recycling plant was an incredible experience. I knew there were machines, but what I didn’t know was how much work is still done by hand- helping to sort through and pull out unwanted items. Of these unwanted items the one that seemed to rank high on the list was PLASTIC BAGS. People recycle their newspapers without removing the plastic bags they got delivered in, and place their recyclables in plastic bags, and some people just

think plastic bags can be recycled this way. After all plastic bags can be recycled, right? Yes, but not through your residential recycling pick up. Plastic bags must be taken to a local grocery or retail stores where plastic bag recycling is offered. When plastic bags do get mixed in with your other recyclables they can cause big problems for the recycling/sorting machines. It turns out these plastic bags can get caught around the spinning shafts causing damage to the machines. If you keep your recyclable trash in a plastic bag, just empty the items out into your residential recycling can for pick up. Another common item residents try to recycle through home pick up is SHREDDED PAPER. This too is not to be recycled through your residential pick up. Again, you might ask, “Why, isn’t paper recyclable?” Yes it is! However, much like the plastic bags the shredded paper causes damage to their machines, it clogs the machine’s wheels of operations. Shredded paper CAN be recycled through other companies like: Iron Mountain and Shred it. Here is a list of a few other items that come into the facility that cannot be recycled there: • Extensions cords (not recyclable and get caught in the machines) • Garden hoses • Christmas lights/ light bulbs • Medical waste/syringes • Styrofoam • Batteries and electronics.

April 2014

Check with your town government to find out when the next chemical round up or electronic recycling even will be. And finally, things we can do to be more helpful: Take the caps off of plastic and glass bottles/jugs/jars etc. This not only helps to flatten the plastic items, but sometimes the caps are made from different material then the rest of the item. This also helps to ensure the item will be empty as well. To be helpful at the curbside: Be sure your trash cans are clearly labeled as a recycling cans, especially if it’s one you purchased yourself; put some space between the regular (landfill) trash and the recyclable trash- on separate sides of the driveway if possible. In the end, “If we all do a little it will mean a lot”. For more helpful ideas go to one of Waste Management’s sites: www.ThinkGreenFromHome.com (The information provided is specific to Waste Management’s recycling facility and program. Please check with your trash provider for more details). For more information on “Going Green With Mrs. Christine, email Christine Losciale-Thoemmes at GoingGreenwithMissChristine@comcast.net. v

Recurrent Ear Infections?

Ear Tubes May be the Answer

By James Jaskunas, MD

T

April 2014

here are few things more frustrating for a parent than to be up all night with a fussy, uncomfortable child with an ear infection. Ear infections are very common during childhood and nearly 40 percent of children will experience three or more infections by age three. An ear infection occurs due to a collection of fluid behind the ear drum that allows harmful bacteria to grow. That fluid is normally drained by the body’s own drainage tube called the Eustachian tube. After an ear infection, it is normal to retain some non-infected fluid behind the ear drum that may linger for a short period of time. As long as the fluid drains normally between infections, the child may only require antibiotics as a treatment. If the fluid doesn’t drain normally between infections, surgical ear tube placement may be the best treatment option. This procedure has become a popular way to treat recurrent ear infections in children and is one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States. Prior to a child undergoing a surgical treatment for recurrent ear infections, he or she should have clear cut indications based on recommendations from the American Academy of Otolaryngology (AAO). The AAO recently released updated guidelines for this procedure. Although every case is different, these guidelines provide a scientifically based approach for deciding if a child should undergo ear tube placement. In addition to the lack of proper drainage, it is also important to assess the effect that the infections and fluid may have on speech and hearing. Children with speech or hearing problems are often candidates for tube placement earlier on as this surgical treatment option may improve their development in these areas. If your child suffers from recurrent ear infections, it is important to determine if they have persistent fluid behind their ear drum between infections. It is also important to confirm if they have normal speech development and normal hearing. If you have concerns regarding your child’s recurrent ear infections, it may be time to consult an ENT specialist who is familiar with the most recent guidelines for ear tube placement.

Monty Python’s

SPAMALOT at the Fox Theater A new musical lovingly ripped off from the motion picture MONTY PYTHON and the Holy Grail

Don’t miss your chance to see one of the most unique musicals… well, ever.

S

PAMALOT, a three time Tony Award-winning musical created by Eric Idle, runs at the Aurora Fox Arts Center Friday, April 11th through Sunday, May 4th. The brilliant Eric Idle scripted the musical’s book and lyrics himself, collaborating with John Du Prez on the music. Fans of Monty Python films will recognize “Knights of the Round Table” and “Brave Sir Robin” which were originally composed by Neil Innes for the film. The impossible-not-to-sing-along to “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” was originally written by Eric Idle for the film Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Like the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, SPAMALOT is an irreverent parody of the Arthurian Legend, but the musical differs in many wonderful ways from the film it was “lovingly ripped off from.” Follow the adventures of King Arthur of Britain, Sir Lancelot the Homicidally Brave and Sir Robin, the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot, which will undoubtedly leave you laughing hysteri-

cally. The original 2005 Broadway production was directed by the legendary Mike Nichols and was nominated for 14 Tony Awards. SPAMALOT won three Tonys, including the award for Best Musical. During the initial run of over 1,500 shows, the musical was seen by more than two million people. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this unforgettable experience. Leading up to the show’s opening; The Fox is rolling out a Quest for the Holy Grail geocache treasure hunt. Look for updates published on the Holy Grail page of the Fox’s website, geocaching.com (search for Stormy_Marmot Fox #1, Fox #2, Fox #3, and Fox #4), Fox’s Facebook page (facebook.com/theaurorafox) and through Twitter (The_Aurora_Fox.) Prizes will be awarded as the complexity of the caches increases and during the April 18th performance the grand prize, $500 and an official Holy Grail filled with other prizes, will be awarded. Other special SPAMALOT events include: • Pay What you Can Preview Thursday, April 10th at 7:30 pm • Opening Night After-Party on Friday, April 11th. • Eat, drink and mingle with the cast, crew, staff and fellow attendees following the opening night performance. • SPAMfest – Saturday April 12th from 6 pm -7 pm • Join the Fox in the lobby for a pre-show tasting in all things SPAM • Super Senior Sunday – Sunday, April 13th at 2:00 pm. • Senior tickets can be purchased for just $20, hot beverages on the house • Free Beer Friday – April 18th at 7:30 pm – Everyone in attendance is treated to one free drink Performance Dates and Times:

Equinox Theatre Company presents

FROZEN by Bryony Lavery directed by Colin Roybal

O

ne evening ten-year-old Rhona goes missing. Her mother, Nancy, retreats into a state of frozen hope. Agnetha, an American academic, comes to England to research a thesis: “Serial Killing—A Forgivable Act?” Then there’s Ralph, a loner who’s looking for some distraction. Drawn together by horrific circumstances, these three embark on a long, dark journey which finally curves upward into the light. Angry, humane and compassionate, Frozen is an extraordinary play that entwines the lives of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims and his psychologist to explore our capacity for forgiveness, remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule them out entirely. Featuring: Kenneth Stellingwerf as Ralph; Paige Larson as Nancy; Mehry Eslaminia as Agnetha

“…big, brave, compassionate play about grief, revenge, forgiveness and bearing the unbearable.” ­–The Guardian “…powerful drama ... about three people living the human condition... a story that needs to continue to be told. –Talkin Broadway *For mature audiences only

BOOKENDS The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier

In 1850 Honor Bright travels to America with her sister, Grace. The journey is difficult and Grace dies before she reaches her fiance, Adam Cox in Faithwell, Ohio. With no other option Honor continues to Adam’s home that he currently shares with his brother’s widow, Abigail. Honor is not expected, but the Quaker family moves Honor into the house but not into their hearts. Honor’s only friend is Belle, a milliner from a town she spent some time in before reaching Faithwell. Honor misses her former home in England but tries to embrace all the differences in America. She is lonely and struggles to find her place in this harsh landscape that is so different from England. Yet, these emotions are nothing compared to her desire to help runaway slaves that travel through Faithwell. Honor is torn between what the law and her new family expect of her, and what her heart desires.

BECKY: This book was a quick read for me at only 252 pages. The length was not something that I considered when it was recommended at a book store. In hindsight I would have questioned how a book with a difficult topic like slavery could have been completed in a story with this many pages. Did you find the length to be adequate?

April 2014

PAM: Actually, I did feel that the story wrapped up quite quickly and I felt that I was still looking for more at the end. On the flipside, I had a bit of trouble getting caught up in the story at the very beginning. Did you find this, Becky? Or were you captured by the story from the beginning? BECKY: I wouldn’t say that I was captured by the story but the writing had an easy flow so I easily started turning the pages. The beginning of the book talks in detail about quilting and Honor is an expert with the needle. As the story progressed, I expected to see something about messages in the quilts that would inform runaway slaves that were traveling the Underground Railroad. However, this topic was never approached and I think the author missed a great opportunity to include this in the story. With the amount of discussion throughout the story regarding the art of quilting were you also surprised that this wasn’t part of the story?

19 SOUTH AURORA MAGAZINE

PAM: Becky, that is a great question! The author does describe Honor’s quilting ability and the connections this art created between family, friends, and community members. Messages in the quilts would have been a great detail and an opportunity for the subject of quilting to be more deeply imbedded in the story. I love quilting and enjoyed the descriptions of color and pattern used in the quilts, as well as the differences in English versus American quilts that Honor discovered. Honor’s sewing ability moved her to a higher status among the women in the community, as they frequently came together to quilt on projects for members of the community. However, did you feel that this actually created animosity between some of the women and Honor? BECKY: Her talent and English quilting style did cause some conflict for her in the community which surprised me. I don’t quilt but if I did, a new style or the opportunity to learn from an expert would have drawn me towards a friendship with Honor. However, that did not happen in this story and Honor was never embraced by the locals. There was someone that had great interest in her and that was Donovan, the local slave hunter. The attraction between these two characters was the most interesting part of the story to me. What is your opinion of this antagonist?


BECKY: I was a little surprised and enjoyed the author’s choice with the ending. As you mentioned any further discussion would give too much information so let’s change direction. During this tale we are given a glimpse of the runaway slaves’ perspective. Do you feel like this story

paints an accurate picture of their situation? PAM: I think it paints an abbreviated accurate picture. The author does not delve too deeply into this area of the story. Therefore, I felt that I got a glimpse of the runaway slaves’ situation, just not an entire picture. Would you recommend this book, Becky? BECKY: It would not be on my top ten list but it was an enjoyable story and has great reviews. The writing was fluid and the characters had some interesting qualities so I would recommend it for a light read. If you are looking to sink your teeth into a deep story or want to learn more about that time in history, then this is not the book for you. What do you have planned for our pick next month? PAM: Next month we will be discussing Sandra Dallas’ newest book, Fallen Women.

April 2014

PAM: It was an interesting twist to the story that this man, certainly a villain, found himself attracted to Honor. Although, her first meeting with Donovan included him stopping the man that was giving her a ride to her new home to search for a runaway slave, Honor found herself drawn to Donovan. She found herself thinking of him and asking for his assistance, although she opposed his occupation and beliefs. There were many interesting twists about Donovan, his horrible trade, and his connection to Honor. Although his character was not as developed as I would have liked, he did create much interest, disgust, as well as sympathy in this story. I won’t go into detail so I don’t ruin the end of the story, but were you surprised with Donovan’s ultimate decision at the end?
