By Cheryl Conway o accomplish third in the nation for 12U girls softball this month was more than they would have expected, but to arrive home with decorations and congratulation signs on their lawns was even a greater surprise. The Mt. Olive 12U Travel Softball team finished third out of 22 teams who competed in the 2013 Babe Ruth World Series Qualifier Tournament in Alachua, FL, held Aug. 1 thru Aug. 6. From Mt. Olive, 11 girls ages 11 through 13 got to compete against the best girls in the country- the first time in seven years that Mt. Olive qualified for the national event. The girls, their parents, coaches, league organizers and local supporters are very proud of the teams success. The support we received form our community back home was amazing, says Kim Borozan, softball mom of the 12U travel team. When she and her family got home from

their long drive from Florida, they were welcomed by a huge sign across their front lawn, balloons on their mailbox and house. The other travel teams (8U, 10U and 14U) were following us on gamechanger.io the entire time we were there and when we returned the moms from the 10U travel team decorated all 11 girls homes and made bookets with all
of the stats from gamechanger as a keep sake for the girls, says Borozan. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for our girls, says Paul Segnello, newly appointed vice president of Mt Olive Softball and team manager. We were honored to earn the right to play in this national tournament and compete against other high caliber teams from all across the
country. There are over 2,200 Babe Ruth tournament teams at the 12U level in the entire country and we were one of 22 that qualified, says Segnello. To achieve third in the country is beyond our expectations but also shows the high quality of our Mt. Olive softball program and how it stacks up on a national stage. continued on page 4

eing a responsible dog owner means taking your pet for annual veterinary checkups. At the appointment, the veterinarian will check the dog's vital signs, ears and teeth and ask questions regarding eating and elimination habits. A fecal test also may be conducted to check for various parasites in the dog's gastrointestinal system. These parasites may include roundworms, hookworms and coccidium. Additionally, a blood draw may be ordered to check for heartworm and to ensure that
the dog's blood levels are where they should be. Routine immunizations will be administered if the pet is healthy. New shots enable certain shots, such as the one administered to protect dogs against rabies, to be given every few years instead of annually. The animal's weight also will be recorded, and the vet will ask if there is anything out of the ordinary going on with the animal. Annual checkups are vital to a dog's health, and dog owners should stick to an annual checkup schedule.

s many of the Mt. Olive residents probably realized, we hosted the Babe Ruth Mid-Atlantic Regional Softball Championship Tournament on July 17-22 at both Turkey Brook Park and the Dan Jordan fields in Flanders. It was a huge honor for us to be chosen as the host town the tournament consisted of 45 teams from 5 states (including Mt. Olive teams). Over 450 girls, ages 7-16 participated in Opening Ceremonies, Skills Competitions, and 100 games. For the magnitude of the event, we did not receive one complaint. Instead, we received endless complements regarding every aspect of the event from the quality of the fields, facilities, friendliness of the local businesses and residents, and the township in general. While everyone in our organization put in countless hours, the overall impression would not have been possible without the support of the rest of the community! Frank Wilperts Department of Parks, Buildings, & Grounds went above and beyond the call of duty in ensuring that the parks in use were mowed, trimmed, mulched, and cleaned. The effort they put in, especially after have just completed the Carnival, was nothing short of amazing and we could not have asked for a better partner in preparations.

And last, but certainly not least, we appreciate the patience of the Mt. Olive residents who had to contend with overflow parking, extra traffic, and lost strangers for 5 of the hottest days of the year. Unfortunately, as of now most of the comments/compliments were verbally relayed, but one that was received via email stated We have never played in a better run tournament, and really enjoyed our time in Mount Olive. Again, thank you to everyone in Mt. Olive who helped make this event such a huge success. Sincerely, Mt. Olive Baseball/Softball Association & Mt. Olive Travel Softball
any families may be surprised at how much they spend on school supplies: According to a recent article in the University of Pennsylvanias Wharton Magazine, for the average person with children in grades K through 12, it comes to nearly $700 a year. To help you get the most for your money, consider these eight ideas: 1. Try to get a list from your childs teacher ahead of time. The teacher may require specific brands, sizes or quantities. 2. Subscribe to a newspaper. It encourages reading and can give kids extra knowledge and incentive in history, civics, English and science classes. 3. Depending on the childs grade, youll probably need glue, scissors, ballpoint pens, No. 2 pencils, colored pencils, a pencil sharpener, a large pink eraser, water-based markers, spiral-bound or composition notebooks, and a three-ring binder with loose-leaf notebook paper. 4. Get pocket folders with two pockets. Label one keep at home and the other bring to school to help your child organize his papers. 5. Get a calendar for scheduling assignments, sports practice and so on. 6. A pack of index cards for making flash cards can also come in handy. 7. Lots of books of all kinds. 8. A way to carry it all. Its a fact: Kids are tough on stuff. But today, kids are carrying many more delicate things like electronics, phones and sunglasses. The days of the simple backpack are over. Today, kids need places to put laptops, tablets, cables and cords along with schoolbooks and papers. The Thule EnRoute series is a great option for all these needs. The packs come in four colors and four sizes, and feature a large main compartment with a padded sleeve for a laptop and a separate pocket for a tablet. There is even a heat-molded compartment, called a SafeZone, to protect those smaller, fragile items. Learn More For further facts, go to www.thule.com.

Getting involved in a program, especially with ladies who have similar goals or interests can help bridge the gap. The Mt. Olive Exercise program through the recreation department has been a welcoming outlet for many new ladies in the area, who not only join to get in shape but to meet peers who share mutual interests- in this case, good health and fitness. To celebrate the different nationalities amongst the women who are members of the Mt. Olive Recreation Exercise Program, International Night has been scheduled to be held Sat., Sept. 7 at 5 p.m. at an instructors home. Each participant has been asked to share a food item that is representative of their nationality. The purpose of this activity is to promote diversity and inclusion - to help us understand and appreciate other members cultures, says head instructor Laura Hars of Budd Lake. If successful, Hars hopes to make it an annual event. We are hosting an international night to encourage and promote diversity within our program, says Hars. As individuals, the more that we learn about other people's culture helps us to grow interpersonally and makes us more interesting as people because our knowledge has increased. Our program aims to support both mind and body; it's not just all about weight loss. Hars says, I would love to know more about people's nationalities and life in the country where they grew up.

By Cheryl Conway hile others have been spending the summer jumping in pools or lakes, Keturah Orji of Budd Lake has been jumping for track beating records and winning medals. Orji, 17, a rising senior at Mt. Olive High School, recently competed in the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federation) World Championships held July 1014 in Donetsk, Ukraine. She brought home a bronze medal in the triple jump and a silver medal in the long jump. Her success in track may take her all the way to the Olympics some day, some say, and to watch her jump and compete right in Mt. Olive has been very exciting to those who have witnessed her athleticism. Keturah is a very special athlete...a Haley's Comet if you will...who only comes once in a blue moon, says Vanessa Benfatti, head girls track coach at MOHS. We could coach for the next 30 years and never have an athlete of this caliber again. She is truly unique both as an athlete and a person. She brings lots of pride to our track program and Mt Olive High School as a whole. I look forward to seeing what the future brings because I know it will be something amazing. Benfatti, who has been coaching Orji for the past three years, says This is a girl who has the potential to go all the way, perhaps to the Olympics, which is her ultimate goal. Fans of Mt. Olive Athletics really need to take the time to

Tell Them You Saw It In The Mt. Olive News, August 2013, Page 21 continued from previous page Orjis accomplishments at Mt. Olive are endless. She currently holds the school records in the 100, 200, 400, long jump and triple jump. She is also a part of the relay records for the 4 x 200 and 4 x 100. She holds the county record in the long jump and triple jump and the state record in the triple jump. She is second best all time in the state of NJ in long jump, says Benfatti. She is close (5 in) to breaking that record which is held by Carol Lewis from 1979. She holds multiple records on the Group and Sectional level as well. She jumped 44'11 at the World Championships which is second best HS all time in the US. What she accomplished there in the long jump and triple jump was the best jumping double in NJ all time. Following a great track season this past school year, Orji attended the U.S. tryouts for the long and triple jumps on June 25-27 in Edwardsville, Illinois. It was there that she placed first in the triple and then second in the long. She was named to the U.S. team soon after and then taken to the U.S. training facility in Ill. to prepare for the IAAF World Youth Championships in Ukraine. She left the U.S. on July 4, began her competition on July 10 and completed it July 14. At the IAAF, Orji jumped 20 ft 11 inches in the long jump winning second place, a silver medal; and jumped 44 ft 11 inches in the triple jump, winning third place, a bronze medal. I did way better than I would have ever expected, says Orji. My goal was to jump 42 feet and I didn't start off too well with that in triple. In long jump, my goal was 20 ft and I jumped that pretty early in the season but not consistently. The end of my season was definitely the best because I kept setting new personal bests in both jumps and finished number two all time in the U.S. in triple jump. Orji says, I'm really excited, the competition in the triple jump was extremely hard and I'm happy I could rise to the challenge. Long jump wasn't as competitive as triple jump but the competition was still much harder than I'm used to. Natural talent and her love for racing have placed Orji on top. I've always had naturally springy legs and I loved racing my friends so I guess that's why I like track, says Orji. I think most of my jumping success is due to talent so all the credit goes to God. I also have to give credit to my hard work and my coaches because they taught me almost everything I know about the jumps. Benfatti says, Keturah's track abilities are endless. She could probably be an amazing heptathlete. I truly believe there is nothing this girl can't do. After all, she can scissor kick 5'0 in the high jump. There are girls who have difficulty with that height with perfect approach and form and after years of practice. I truly believe she could make it to the Olympics someday which is her ultimate goal. I credit her success to a handful of things, such as great genes, her gymnastics ability and the newness of the sport, says Benfatti. Anyone who knows gymnastics knows that it takes focus, discipline, control, and almost no fear. To have success in the triple jump an athlete must have an incredible amount of control of his/her body. Orjis lack of experience in track, has also helped her, says Benfatti. Her freshman year was the first year she ever did track. I think it may have helped her because there were no preconceived ideas, fears, or expectations. Everything was new to her so she was open and willing to do everything with no hesitation. Breaking more records, competing at the college level and maybe professionally are Orjis goals in track. I want to jump 45 ft to break the national record and jump in the 44's consistently and jump 21 ft in long jump and continue to jump in the 20's consistently, says Orji. I also want to break Carol Lewis' state record in long jump. Next year I will try out for juniors and hopefully make another USA team and one day hope to go to be a world champ medalist and Olympic medalist. Orjis advice to others is Always believe in yourself and continue to work hard to reach your goals. Her success certainly benefits the high school concludes Benfatti. Anytime you have an athlete of this caliber who is getting noticed not only on the national stage but also internationally it definitely makes people wonder about our school and our athletic programs.

By Elsie Walker t started about 20 years ago. Byram resident Carol Barry had always made banners out of felt and fabric for her church, but suddenly, she felt found herself going in a new direction. After visiting many small churches and large cathedrals around the world, she had experienced for herself the inspiration that beautiful artwork can provide. She wanted to give some of that to her own church, the First Presbyterian Church of Stanhope It started with a painting for a special event at school (Barry taught art in Mt. Olive Township for 40 years). That blossomed into about a dozen more works and what Barry now sees as a ministrya ministry she wants to share with other churches and groups. Hanging like banners in the Presbyterian church sanctuary, the topics of Barrys paintings include The Old Testament, the New Testament, images of progress, and mages of what has impacted the world for better or worse. Most works are not a single image, but contain a myriad of them, calling the viewer to contemplate them. A departure in style from some of the other works is Gods Peace that Passeth Understanding. The painting resembles a mosaic. Barry works on a size and type of paper that is quite portable so that her works can be easily transported and different ones hung and shown. In that way, they have a banner-style to them. A question Carol Barry frequent hears is, how long did it take you to do that? Looking at Barrys artwork, it is not

She then took 8 paintings to St. Frances de Sales Roman Catholic Church in Vernon Barry shared that she was very humbled to see the reaction of so many people that had never seen any of [my] work before. Barry would like to visit other churches and their groups, sharing the message of her art. While anxious to share her paintings with more people, she is very committed to the Stanhope Church as an elder and choir member, making Sunday morning visits only possible occasionally. She is more available for visits other times during the week. Because of the large dimensions of the paintings, it is also sometimes challenging to find a site compatible to display the work. Carol does have a portable stand that displays one piece at a time. Barry sees her art as a new ministry that has opened up to her. In addition to reaching people face to face, Barry is pursuing something shes been encouraged by friends to do for years: working with a company in Newton to make reproductions of many of her pieces. She is also investigating having calendars made for a fundraiser for her church. Art talks, and Carol Barrys pieces are speaking volumes. To contact Carol Barry about speaking about her work at your location, she can be contacted at: lakefront70@aol.com

911 Outdoor Service, Silent Auction Part of Netcong Day for Church
church picnic. Also, the church will have a booth that day, Netcong Day, from 11am to 5pm. It will be giving out free water and lollypops and holding a silent auction to benefit its Raise the Roof Capital Funds Campaign. The church is located at #2 Route 183 in Netcong. The churchs pastor, the Rev. Tom Kinter noted that the outdoor service started after the 911 tragedy. There is a symbolism in holding it outdoors. Just as people were forced from their office buildings that day, worshippers are going outside the safety and security of our building [for the service], said Kinter. The service is open to people of all faiths. The beautiful stone church, also known as the Church in the Glen, was entered into the New Jersey register of historic places on October 15, 2012 and the national registry of historical places on January 2, 2013. Its Raise the Roof Capital Funds Campaign is raising money to replace the roof and repair the bell tower structure, to make them water tight. One of the ways it is raising that money is through the silent auction at Netcong Day. The silent auction is a way to invite others to [contribute toward] the repair of a building that has meant a lot to the community, said Kinter. The church is home to a food pantry; AA groups meet there, as do scouts. Free community dinners have been held there, and more. In a silent auction, people view items and then submit a bid. The highest bidder wins the auction. At the churchs booth will be a variety of theme baskets and gift certificates/cards being auctioned. Some examples of the basket themes are Back to School, Going to the Beach, and Gardening. Gift cards/certificates come from a variety of local places including Fannuccis Caf and Gelato bar in Netcong, Davys Dogs in Mt. Arlington, Netcong Village Florist, and Weezers Gifts in Netcong. The hope is that many people will come to take a look and place bids. In addition to the silent auction, the church will be giving out free lollypops and bottles of water. Everyone is welcomed to come by the booth.
By Elsie Walker eptember 8th is a busy day for the Stanhope United Methodist Church. On that day, Stanhope United Methodist Church welcomes the community to its 9:30am outdoor service. The service will include a remembrance of 911. After the service, the church is inviting those who attend to stay for the annual

By Elsie Walker ars, music, dancing, and cheesy driven-in movies, these were some of the fun of the 50s, fun that is recreated for a weekend each year at Lead East. Held August 28th September 1st at the Parsippany Hilton, the event, known as the worlds largest 50s party, includes cars from 1972 and earlier, do wop groups, movies like Teenagers from Outer Space and more. Adult admission is $15 for Thursday or Friday, $22 for Saturday or Sunday. Admission for Seniors (66 years and older) and Juniors (12 to 17 years old) is $10 on Thursday or Friday, $15 on Saturday or Sunday. Children (11 and under) are admitted free to the car show when accompanied by an adult. Children need a ticket for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday night Oldies Concerts. Lead East is put on by Appleton Productions of Long Valley. The partys host is Terry Cook, who started the event 31 years ago. One of the ways the event stays fresh and growing is thanks to those who attend. Were always open to suggestions that come from the people, said Cook. An example is this years pie eating contest that was suggested by the Hilton staff. One thing that draws people to Lead East is the variety in what it offers. What started as a car show has grown to be so much more. While cars are certainly still a huge part of it (1,800 will be shown this year), the event includes over 30 do-wop groups, strolling accapella, and 50s Karaoke and open mike. [We have] a really strong following of music enthusi-
area. Reflecting on the popularity of Lead East( about 15,000 20,000 attend), Cook notes that the event reflects a more innocent time. It was a time that the only gun a child even touched was a toy one, not a real one. The world was not the way it is today. But now, for one weekend a year, people get a chance to visit those earlier days and enjoy the fun, through a time portal held at the Parsippany Hilton. http://www.leadeast.net

By Elsie Walker ath, science, engineering..these are subjects that many students view with dread and may even avoid. Unfortunately, in a world where these are becoming hot career fields, students need to develop this knowledge to get the jobs of the future. To the rescue comes STEM-CAM! Aimed at children ages 5 12, STEMCAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics through building Confidence, changing Attitudes, and Mentoring) introduces these subjects while having fun, demystifying them and helping students gain confidence. The program was founded in 2012 by Samantha Rizzuto of Long Valley. A junior this year at the Math, Science and Engineering Academy located at Morris Hills High in Rockaway, Rizzutos pro-
centers were set up and participants traveled to each center in their groups assigned according to their age. Each center had a simple and more advanced variation of the same age appropriate activities. We used materials like blocks, tiles, ruler, cans, cards, beads and, of course, hula hoops to demonstrate to students practical applications of math. We created fun activities and games to reinforce patterns, geometry, fractions, problem solving and multiplication. We even shared pi day cupcakes for Einsteins birthday with the participants, she shared However, growing knowledge isnt the only goal of STEM, building confidence comes into play, too. In an effort to break the stereotype of what kids imagine in their minds when they think of scientists, I try to present STEM to students in a way that they will perceive as cool. Cartoons and media make scientists out to be nerds in a really negative way. I want kids, especially girls, to feel confident and excited about participating in a STEM activity. That is where the CAM (building Confidence, changing Attitudes and Mentoring) in STEM-CAM originates from. I give the participants my email and Facebook information, so they can contact me and build a relationship with me. I have had a few contact me to tell me
Kids at STEM-CAM sessions learn math and science while having fun.
what they are hoping STEMCAM will cover next. I love receiving e-mails from parents and students because it shows me they are really interested in what we are doing., Rizzuto shared. You are doing a great thing here. We are all very proud of you and are certain you have a very bright and exciting future ahead of you. said Fadila Gathers, parent of a student participating in STEM-CAM. Gathers is not alone in thinking that STEM-CAM is special. DoSomething.org, a national not-for-profit that helps young people change the world, announced that Rizzuto is a 2013 Seed Grant Winner. It is so rewarding to see a student embrace any aspect of STEM. I know that a students future will be filled with a variety of new and exciting opportunities now that he or she has recognized a love for STEM. I have recently received emails from a young girl who participates in STEM-CAM every month. She always emails me with new ideas and questions. I love to see her curiosity and passion for STEM. Another young girl wants to be a mentor when she is old enough. It is incredible to see how sharing my passion can inspire and empower others to reach their potential. [that] is when I feel like I have really accomplished something, Rizzuto said.

By Cheryl Conway ost health experts and medical doctors would agree that drinking lots of water daily can only better ones health.but how many have considered the type of water that should be consumed? There is a water on the market that contains antioxidants and alkaline, and through medical studies has proven to improve health while reducing many diseases and illnesses. A medical device was developed out of Japan 39 years ago and works to take out the impurities from tap water. The device that was designed to restructure drinking water is available to hospitals, restaurants and homes world wide and may very well be the best water for drinking, bathing and cleaning, according to experts. The Japanese company claims that its water flushes out toxins better than regular water. You end up with a very powerful antioxidant, says Rick Ercolano of Manahawkin, independent sales representative and distributor of the restructured ionized water, much more powerful than any fruit, vegetable or green tea would give you. Ercolano, who presents weekly seminars about the oxidizing water, says one glass of this water equals 30 glasses of green tea, which is high in antioxidants. The water also contains alkaline which gives you energy and is also micro-clustered, which creates super hydrating water to super hydrate the body. The ionized water is healthy water thats alive that makes people feel better and gives them more energy, he says. According to studies and testimony, the iodized or alkaline water has reduced the risks for diseases and conditions such as acid reflux, gout, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, chronic headaches, back and joint pain, digestive problems, high blood pressure, muscle cramps, eczema and psoriasis, wrinkles and more. There are clinical studies published in the National Institute of Health (NIH) website that show the effectiveness of this water. Cancer lives in an acidic environment but cant survive in an alkaline environment, says Ercolano, a public speaker and wellness educator for more than 30 years. Bottled water can be in storage for six to 12 months. Its not made fresh. Chemicals are in there. He says the water that is sold in the five gallon plastic jugs contain even a greater percentage of chemicals, and many sports drinks are also highly acidic as well as car-

tions which include the Water Quality Association, Natural Sanitation Foundation and the American National Standard Institute. It makes people feel good, says Ercolano. It gives them more energy. It helps build up their immune system with antioxidants. An antioxidant is a donor; if theres an abundance of electrons that are available it helps to protect the immune system. The cost is less than a $1 a day for a family over the next 15 years, he says. Its the next mega trend. Everyone will own one within the next seven years. It works real fast. Mary Lalama of Flanders, who bought the water ionizing machine about two years ago with her husband Joe Nicastro says, The water is really great. It's amazing to see all the chemicals that come off the fruits and veggies that we buy at the supermarket. I make ice tea with it and have the container in the refrigerator. You just put the 9.5 water in with some tea bags, and it brews within minutes, no boiling, nothing. The oxygen in the water permeates the tea bag so easy...but if you try regular water it doesn't do anything. My brother has gout really bad, he bought a filter and he can pretty much avoid any flair ups even when he eats foods he shouldn't, says Lalama. Nicastro says they use the water for drinking, cleaning the food, sterilizing and cleaning without chemicals, feeding animals and as beauty water.
He likes how it does not fill you up and I can drink a gallon of water a day when I can't even finish regular or bottled water which fills me up. Nicastro, who used to drink bottled water, bought the system after I read about the benefits. I also saw a demo that showed drinking one can of soda I would need six glasses of ionized water to get rid of acid. Acid causes the body to have issues. Whether it was energy drinks or even bottled water the effects those were having on my body made me realize that I needed to do something. Ionized water has been the best thing for my health. Since drinking the ionized water, Nicastro says he has more energy, has less sluggish afternoons, less acid reflux and aches and pains. People that try this water see a difference right away, says Nicastro. It is not like taking a vitamin where you wait to see if there is a result. You feel it almost from the minute you drink it. We have enough harmful chemicals in our foods and the air we breathe. This water is amazing and especially children should be drinking this from a young age. Nicastro says It is best to get it fresh everyday has the best strength that way. Very good water and really good for you we love it. For more information of the ionized water system, go to www.healthsuccesscenter.net. Ercolano gives lives presentations on Tuesdays in Paramus at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Registration is required.

Your Home Safety Senses: Great Fire Protection Addresses All Of Our Senses
order for fire protection to make a difference, it must target our senses. As an example, many fires start at night when we are asleep and not able to sense the initial blaze. Initial fire alarms must be loud and identifiable as exactly that: emergency alarms. By the time we wake up and are aware of our surroundings we have lost critical time that could literally spell the difference between life and death. The homes security and fire prevention experts offer these suggestions to help you devise a home security alarm system and emergency prevention plan that will properly target your senses: Hearing. Install high-decibel fire, heat, and smoke alarms throughout your house and test them often. The shrill of the alarm should instantly rouse your family from sleep. Testing them in the middle of the night will give you an indication of their effectiveness. Sight. Emergency alarms can be configured to work with the lights in your house or apartment. These systems are quite useful for people with hearing problems because they attract attention without relying on audible alarms. Smell. Carbon monoxide detectors monitor for the presence of noxious gases inside a building. These gases are deadly and detectors can alert you long before levels are too high. Touch. Heat detectors sense changes in room temperatures and will alert you before you can see flames. Install these wireless devices in areas of your house where fire might be more likely, such as a furnace room or water heater closet. This quick response will help get to safety early. Let a professional help you put together the most effect home security fire prevention plan possible, which includes fire, smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide sensors.
s your home properly protected against fire, smoke, and heat damage? Do you feel like home and family are adequately prepared for these types of emergencies? Fire is obviously quite damaging to property, and a serious threat to life and limb. In order for fire prevention and protection at home to make a difference, it needs to be effective, well thought out, and properly maintained to immediately alert and instantly activate in the event of fire. Really good fire protection safeguards assets and protects lives. When a fire breaks out nearly all of our sense detect it early. We can see flames, smell smoke, and feel the heat it generates. We can even hear to roar of the growing threat. In

t may be hard to believe, but it is already that time of year when families start to say goodbye to summer and hello to the new school year. In preparation, attention shifts toward to-do lists filled with tasks such as buying school supplies, going clothes shopping and getting sports physical. What may not be on the list yet is making breakfast a priority. Why is breakfast an important addition to any back-to-school plan? Because this morning meal can help set kids up for success in the classroom. Through research, it has been proven that when you feed a childs mind with a nutrientrich breakfast, he or she will perform better in school. A recent report by the American College of Sports Medicine, American School Health Association, GENYOUth Foundation and National Dairy Council shows that kids who eat breakfast in addition to being physically active have better memory, attention and behavior; and score higher on tests.

While reflection on the many contributions of Hispanics is an important element of such celebrations, a meal with loved ones is often at the heart of the festivities. Whether you are Hispanic or just someone who wants to celebrate the many contributions Hispanics have made to the world, chances are you will look forward to mealtime, when Latin contributions to cuisine can be put on full display for you and your loved ones.

By Joe Klock, Sr. ollowing is a randumb mishmash of titbits (look it up before you frown), designed to titillate you (for shame if you frowned again!) - or, at the very least, provide you with momentary diversion. None of them are of Pulitzer quality, but if they evoke from you a small smile or perceptible nod, they have served the writer's purpose. Here goes: - Possible Country/Western song title: "She Was Only A Homely Moonshiner, But I Loved Her Still!" - Definition of shotgun weddings: Matters of wife or death. - While it is true that the early bird gets the worm, it's the second mouse that gets to eat the cheese. - Most of the money in the world is tainted; that is to say, tain't yours and tain't mine neither. - A point to ponder: If the world didn't suck, as some say it does, there's a good chance that we might fall off it. - If you have been scared half to death more than once, be grateful, because you have clearly beaten the odds. - Maybe the Good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes, cockroaches and many politicians come mighty close. - Red meat, contrary to the advice of some nutritionists, is not bad for you. However, gray meat with a furry coating more than probably is. - At all costs, avoid involvement in dangerous cults
