How does the human spirit survive and persevere in the face of destruction? Wilder addresses the question in this classic American tragicomedy. Meet George and Maggie Antrobus and their children, Henry and Gladys, of Excelsior, N.J. George and Maggie have been married for 5,000 years. Whether he is inventing the alphabet or merely saving the world from apocalypse, George and his redoubtable family somehow manage to survive – by the skin of their teeth. Completed by Wilder less than a month after the Japanese attack

on Pearl Harbor, “The Skin of Our Teeth” broke from established theatrical conventions and won the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. For more information about the MCC Theater Department’s production of “The Skin of Our Teeth,” or for advance reservations and group sales (10 or more), call the box office at 978458-5429 or visit https://www. middlesex.mass.edu/performingarts Middlesex Community College is your pathway to success.

health benefits. And, one in three adults could have diabetes by 2050. “Creating opportunities to eat healthy foods during the holidays, and limiting candy, sugar-sweetened beverages and fast food, can go a long way to living a healthier and happier life,” says Dr. John Agwunobi, M.B.A., M.P.H., Chief Health and Nutrition Officer, Herbalife Nutrition. To help curb sweet tooth cravings this holiday season, Herbalife Nutrition introduced Protein Bites, a fun-sized, onthe-go holiday treat with four grams of protein and no artificial sweeteners. “A good snack should deliver protein without too many carbohydrates,” says Dr. Agwunobi. “Snacking, when done right, keeps energy levels up between meals and helps control hunger, which makes Protein Bites

Healthy Holiday Eating Is Easier Than You Think (NAPSI)—Year after year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports, the average American gains about a pound during the holiday season. It may not seem like much, but over the course of a lifetime, around a pound a year can really add up. That’s one reason many people are concerned about how to handle holiday treats. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly 40 percent of American adults are obese; that’s more than 129 million people. Additionally, 88 percent of American adults do not meet the government’s national physical activity recommendations for aerobic activity and muscle strengthening. Around 45 percent of adults are not sufficiently active to achieve

a perfect go-to snack to satisfy cravings.” Agwunobi offers additional tips to help you stay on track this holiday season: Healthy Holiday Eating • Plan your meals. Planning your meals affords you the opportunity to create smaller, healthier portions. • Eat mindfully. Slow down to really taste and enjoy your food. Eating slowly gives your body time to signal your brain that you’re full, which takes about 20 minutes. If you eat too much too quickly, it’s easy to gobble up as much as twice what your body needs before your brain even gets the message. • Replace a meal or two with a nutrient-dense meal replacement option like the Herbalife Nutrition Formula 1 Shake. • Stay positive. If you eat more on some days, eat less on others. • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding beverages that are high in calories and sugar. • Eat a healthy snack before leaving home to prevent overeating at parties. Holiday parties often have foods high in salt, sugar and calories. When you arrive, check out the party food options before you begin eating, and make a mental note of what and how much you will eat. Remember, the holiday season doesn’t have to be a detriment to your health goals. With some

Shock Chlorination Of Water Wells: What You Need To Know (NAPSI)—“Shock chlorination” is a term loosely applied to using a relatively high concentration of chlorine to disinfect a water well system. It may come as a shock to learn that the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) does not recommend household well owners attempt to disinfect their own well systems. Rather, NGWA suggests well owners use a water well system professional familiar with proper well disinfection procedures to do the job. There are multiple steps to properly disinfecting a well, and for a person untrained in it, there are multiple opportunities to make a mistake that could not only render the process ineffective but create additional problems. Shocking Information Here are some of the things you should know about shock chlorination: Household chlorine bleach is not designed for use in drinking water. Although household bleach is widely recommended for disinfecting drinking water wells, it’s not designed for that and may cause problems. First, the disinfectant properties of household bleach deteriorate over time, affecting its reliability as a disinfection agent. Second, bleach may contain perchlorate. Research has shown that perchlorate can present a health risk at certain levels and affect iodine uptake by the human thyroid to inhibit thyroidal hormone production. Fortunately, there are alternative disinfectants, chemicals certified as safe for use in drinking water by independent product safety laboratories. At too high a concentration, bleach can create disinfection by-products harmful to health. When organic matter in groundwater encounters certain chemicals, such as chlorine, a reaction can occur that creates a cancercausing agent known as trihalomethane. Also, at too high a concentration, bleach can corrode well

action unlimited system pipes and other components. This was demonstrated in Flint, Michigan, where corrosive water coming out of the public water system was sufficient to induce corrosion in galvanized steel pipe, causing the release of toxic lead into the drinking water. There are other problems that may result from attempting to disinfect your own well. For instance, removing the well cap alone could expose the open well to bacterial contamination from the outside. Great care must be taken to disinfect not only the inside of the well system but also the well cap before it’s put back. Furthermore, if the disinfec-

tant is not at the proper concentration for the volume of water in the well system—or if the contact time between the disinfectant and the system is not sufficiently long—the disinfection process may not work. For these reasons, NGWA advises that whenever possible, well owners should use a water well system professional who knows proper disinfection procedure to disinfect their well. That said, there may be circumstances in which a well owner cannot get a water well professional to disinfect the well; for instance, someone in a remote area where service is not readily available. In such instances, the

well owner should consult with someone qualified in well disinfection for instruction. Disinfection is an important procedure to perform any time a water well is opened or serviced, or if water test results indicate the presence of bacteria. When the presence of bacteria is persistent, it should be determined whether there is a breach in the well system allowing bacteria to enter the well. If so, the breach

should be repaired. Learn More For further information about well systems, water quality, and groundwater protection, visit www.WellOwner.org.

A Closer Look At LASIK Success Rates (NAPSI)—One of the most common questions surgeons are asked about LASIK is: What is the success rate? The answer is impressive as outcomes of LASIK surgery— measured by vision and patient satisfaction—are better than ever. In fact, LASIK has one of the highest satisfaction rates on record for any kind of elective surgery—more than 96 percent. But there is only one LASIK success measure that matters— does it give you the outcome that is right for you? The American Refractive Surgery Council

action unlimited (www.americanrefractivesurgerycouncil.org/blog) recommends defining what success looks like as an important step in deciding if a laser vision correction procedure is a good option. Asking yourself some questions can help. For instance, are you a police officer, firefighter, EMT or other first responder? Then for you, LASIK success might mean being able to do your job in tough conditions—like fires or arrests— without your eyeglasses or contact lenses getting in the way. Those in the military may define LASIK success as the ability to serve and see in harsh environments. Or it might be the

ability to do a job—like flying a combat airplane—where having the best eyesight possible could be a matter of life and death. Maybe you’re an athlete who needs the precision of LASIK to spot the spin on a baseball or tennis ball. Or a photographer or artist who needs to see clearly. Or you’re an active, outdoor person who wants the freedom of being able to hike or climb or run or swim or surf without worrying about losing your glasses, or having problems with your contacts because of sand, dirt, water, grit or glare. Or maybe you’re just an average person who wants to have great eyesight and not have to

saturday, december 2, 2017

deal with the hassle of cleaning your contacts or groping on the nightstand for your glasses at night. The question you should ask yourself is “How do I see myself benefiting from LASIK? What’s my definition of success with LASIK?” And the answer, of course, depends on what you want LASIK to do for you. Ask yourself what you hope

pg. 23

to get out of LASIK. Why does great eyesight matter to you? And how are your glasses or contacts getting in your way? How do they keep you from living life the way you want? Then sit down with a LASIK surgeon, talk about your goals, and find out whether you’re a good candidate for laser vision correction surgery. You’ll be well on the way to your own LASIK success.

Do you Know? 3. When you get a flat tire or a blowout when driving you should? a. Not apply foot to brake b. Keep a tight grip on the steering wheel c. Put foot on gas d. Turn steering wheel into the skid Answer: B Keep a tight grip on the steering wheel

Hot Party Idea: Buffalo Wing Dip And Crackers (NAPSI)—Whether you’re hosting a game-watching party, a holiday get-together, a birthday, anniversary or any occasion, a little planning and a delicious dip can help it all go smoothly. Ten Party-Planning Tips Here are 10 hints that can help: 1. It’s OK to overbook: For a large cocktail party, invite 20 percent more people than you think can fit, since only about three out of four invitees actually show up. 2. Make foods you can eat anywhere: Guests should be able to mingle and snack at the same time so stick to finger foods. 3. Get help: Consider hiring a high school student or even a professional to do the cleaning, pass drinks and food, and keep things moving in the kitchen. 4. Arrange the furniture so guests can move easily: Don’t worry about not having enough chairs; that will encouraging mingling. Set up a coffee table or sideboard for coffee and dessert. 5. It’s a bright idea to decide

on the lighting: Low-wattage bulbs or candlelight can create a romantic or convivial mood. Bright lights make it easier to see the person you’re talking to. 6. Save time and trouble when it comes to drinks: Have plenty of nonalcohol beverages around and premix the cocktails you want to serve. Place them in pitchers so guests can pour their own. 7. Cool hacks for ice: Add a few drops of food coloring to ice cubes. Put a bit of sliced fruit in your ice trays before freezing or add a hint of juice or lemonade. 8. Keep the crowd moving: Spread out the food over a big space. Putting the same food in several bowls around the room will keep crowds from forming and helps make sure every guest gets what he or she wants. 9. Protect your assets: Tuck away things that could be in the way or easily broken. 10. Help the party take wing with this delightful dip: Buffalo Wing Dip ¼ cup sour cream 1/3 cup spreadable cream cheese, soft 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese ¼ cup celery, finely chopped

(NAPSI)—The next time you turn on the faucet and fill a glass from a household well, chances are you’ll see crystal-clear, sparkling water. There’s a good reason for that: The ground is an excellent filter for water, and groundwater— the source water for household wells—is usually of better quality than surface water. This is especially true when it comes to “turbidity,” an opaqueness or cloudiness in water caused by suspended matter. When There’s A Problem When the water from a well is cloudy, it may be cause for concern. That murkiness could indicate a breach in your well system. Such breaches could affect the water’s clarity, taste and odor—and even present a health risk. The suspended matter in turbid water can be both inorganic (matter other than plant or animal) or organic. The size of suspended matter can range from microscopic to coarse grains like sand.

• A back-washing sediment filter • Reverse osmosis, in which water passes through a semipermeable membrane to remove suspended or dissolved solids. If turbid water contains microorganisms, filtration is important because turbidity can impede water disinfection. Filtration and disinfection are often used in tandem with filtration first, then disinfection. When considering a filter, compare its specifications to your water test results to make sure it’s designed to treat what needs to be treated. Also, consider whether you want to treat all the water coming into the house or just that coming out of certain taps. This can make a big difference in the system you choose.

well. Proper well development can sometimes make a poor well a good one in terms of both water quality and water production. How To Fix It The first step toward a solution to turbidity is to have the water tested by a drinking water testing laboratory. The lab can determine whether there are any disease-causing microorganisms, and that could provide clues to their source. Also, before considering water treatment for turbidity, a water well system professional should inspect your well system. It’s always better to treat the cause of a water quality concern—particularly if it presents a health risk—than to simply treat the result. An inspection can determine whether the well has a breach, is dirty and needs to be cleaned, needs to be developed, or is being affected by a failing septic system. If water treatment is necessary, a common approach is filtration. Different types of filters include: • A cartridge sediment filter installed in the service line before the tap

Of greatest concern are disease-causing microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa. Groundwater may contain E. coli, giardia and cryptosporidium, and cause physical symptoms that range from moderate to severe gastrointestinal problems. The Causes Sometimes a breach in the well system can be at or near the surface, such as: • A hole or break in the well casing • A broken well cap • Deteriorated grouting that has allowed surface runoff to infiltrate the well. Turbidity could also be due to a failing septic system that has overloaded the groundwater with untreated or inadequately treated sewage. Shallower wells tend to be more vulnerable to a failing septic system. At other times, turbidity is related to well construction. After a well is drilled and installed, it still needs what’s known as “well development.” This process removes loose material resulting from the drilling process. It leaves the borehole more clean, stable and permeable so the water flows more freely into the

ries bring plenty of healthful benefits. • Blueberries contain 80 calories per cup, are low in sodium and have virtually no fat. • With 3.6 grams of fiber per serving, blueberries help you meet your daily recommended intake of fiber. • Blueberries are an excellent source of vitamin C. Vitamin C plays an important role in immune function. Carton-a-Week Challenge Here’s a simple, straightforward challenge: Eat a carton of blueberries every week. Eating more blueberries is the easiest, most delicious way to look and feel our best, no matter what life throws our way. Fresh and frozen blueberries are available year-round. Just buy the fresh on your regular grocery run and keep the frozen stocked in your freezer. Then, you can eat blueberries anytime of day, in your favorite dish or as a snack. This flexibility matters when you’re busy. Blueberries show that smart

To Look And Feel Your Best, Just Add Blueberries (NAPSI)—The path to better eating can be bumpy. Our bestintentioned, health-conscious plans sometimes go out the window on hectic days. Finding easy, go-to favorites may help. One smart option: blueberries. If you’re looking to satisfy a sweet tooth and stick to healthy eating goals, blueberries can help you do both. They’re very flavorful, but they’re also packed with nutrients and are a good source of fiber. Portable, low-prep foods also encourage good choices. Blueberries fit that bill. Once you’ve rinsed them, they’re ready to eat—and you can eat the whole berry. No peels, pits or other parts to contend with. It’s why blueberries fit easily into most routines, no matter what your day holds. What Blueberries Offer Beyond great taste, blueber-

choices can be delicious choices. Here’s a fresh take on a breakfast staple: Gluten-Free Blueberry Oat Pancakes with Lemon Maple Syrup Yield: 8 small (about 3-inchdiameter) pancakes 1 banana (½ cup), mashed 2 large eggs 1/3 cup gluten-free oats ½ cup fresh blueberries ½ cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional) Combine banana, eggs and oats and let stand 10 minutes to thicken. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Spoon mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, onto skillet and top with some of the blueberries. Cook until browned, 1−2 minutes. Turn and cook additional 1 minute or until cooked through. Combine maple syrup and lemon zest and serve with pancakes. Feeling Good Every Day In the middle of our busy lives, every small victory matters. Sometimes you do all your push-ups, beat traffic and meet your calorie goals. Sometimes you don’t. For every smart choice, you should feel good. Here’s a few small ways blueberries can help you make the most of your day. Take a field trip to a farm for fresh blueberries. Looking to get outside more? Heading to a farm doesn’t just mean delicious, fresh produce to eat—it also means enjoying the fresh air. Sneak vitamins and minerals into a milkshake or smoothie. We all have cravings. Throw in some blueberries to get your treat and some healthful benefits, too. Give your lemonade the blueberry treatment. Whether you’re sipping on the porch or helping

the kids run a roadside stand, you get a pop of color and extra nutrients. Shake up your dinner routine. Do you prefer sweet or savory? Either way, blueberry-based sauces pair well with chicken or pork and bring unexpected flavor to your plate. Support your favorite community organization. If you want to contribute to a good cause and enjoy some blueberry treats, plan a bake sale. Everyone benefits. Replace your candy bowl with a berry bowl. At the office or around the house, it’s easy to eat mindlessly all day. Measure out your preferred serving of blueberries and snack guilt-free.

Once upon a time, real estate was thought to slow down as the new year approached, giving way to hot cocoa and flurries of snow. These days, we know better, and when winter comes around, it’s also the time to buy or sell your house. So, grab your mug, sit down by a fire and find out a few reasons why now is the season of homes for the holidays: • Twinkling with holiday lights, your house will shine bright to eager buyers looking for their perfect home. • Tax benefits are the ultimate holiday gifts for both buyers and sellers who close before the end of the year. • Serious buyers are out. Your home won’t be subject to casual window shoppers, (they’re too busy at the mall or on their computer searching for holiday gifts). • Buyers have extra time off from work, which means more hours in their day to search for a home. • January is typically the month when employees are transferred to new positions. To capture these buyers, your home must be on the market now because they often can’t wait until spring. Visit us at www.OwnNewEngland.com, give us a call, or drop by our office to meet our team and learn how we can help you this holiday season.
