Fresh Air summers are filled
with children running
through the sprinklers in the
grass, gazing at star-filled
skies and swimming for the
first time. This summer, join
volunteer host families in
Central Vermont, and open
your heart and home to a
Fresh Air child. Each sum-
mer, thousands of children
from New York City’s low-
income communities visit
suburban, rural and small
town communities along the
East Coast and Southern
Canada through The Fresh
Air Fund’s Friendly Towns
Program.
Treasure, age 9, has visited
the Cleaveland family for the
past two summers. Host
mom Antonia said, “I
remember the first year, she
actually set her alarm so she
could wake up early and
make breakfast with me. She
taught me to appreciate the
small things and realize the
importance of family time.”
The Fresh Air Fund, an
independent, not-for-profit
agency, has provided free
summer experiences to more
than 1.8 million New York
City children from low-
income communities since
1877. Fresh Air children are
boys and girls, from seven to
18 years old, who live in
New York City. Children
who are reinvited by host
families may continue with
The Fresh Air Fund through
age 18 and can enjoy extend-
ed trips.
For more information
about hosting a Fresh Air
child this summer, please

tribution to the ecosystem. In
addition, with no limit on the
coyote-hunting season, it is
unsurprising when hunters
adopt a "shoot first,identify
later" mentality that compro-
mises the hunter's responsi-
bility to know their target
before shooting. The mistak-
en identity of a family pet,
then, is an unintended conse-
quence of neither having a
limit to the coyote hunting
season nor respect for the
value of this vital predator.

A school district in Nebraska
sent out a letter to parents
that their children had

meat. The Potter-Dix super-
intendent, Mike Williams,
told the parents he was sorry
for the incident. According to
CBS News, Williams was

“The parks department is

in a news release. The city

The Adventures
of Tom & Atticus
Neither Atticus nor I are big
fans of the rain. And when
it’s freezing rain, as it is this
morning, we’d rather just
stay inside and wait it out.
But nature calls – in more
ways than one – and we
respond. So about eight
o’clock we forced ourselves
out into the elements and
distracted by thoughts of
tonight’s event at Porter
Square Books. I’ll read from
the book while Atticus
sleeps, then I’ll pick him up
and take questions from the
audience. As is the case with
every event I wonder just
what I’ll say. I never really
know, and yet something
always comes to me. As
soon as the introduction ends
and the audience looks at me
expectantly my mouth starts
moving and I tell our story. I
also found myself wondering
about the weather and how it
would make for driving in
busy Cambridge tonight.

icy or snowy roads; the slap-
slap-slap of the windshield
wipers. Will parking be dif-

watching us. Upon noticing
him Atticus perked right up
and before approaching
looked back at me.
“Hold on, Little Bug. Let
him be,” I said. So Atticus
took a seat and fox and dog
and man looked at each
other. He and Atticus looked
at each other with curiosity
while I took in both of them
with a bit wonder.
Yesterday, while moving
through these same quiet
woods we came to a small
pond and on a log sat the
tiniest baby beaver. I’ve
seen beavers before, but
never one so small. And just
as happened with the fox this
morning, Atticus took a seat
and watched and I sat back in
wonder while the beaver
continued to chew and look

bet fitness centers issued
more memberships this week
than a month ago, mean-
while tobacco companies are
facing some sales decreas-
ing. Other than that, every-
body got back to his/her nor-
mal routine. After my previ-
ous article I was asked “Why
didn’t you like the year
2018?” The answer is simple.
When I put my last year’s
goods and bad's on a scale, I
realized, I was often hurt by
other’s words and behaviors.
Without a doubt, the year
2018 taught me an essential
lesson: words are bigger
weapons than guns. The
more I thought about it, the
surer I was. (Based on my

choice of words, have caused
them to be used in a wrong
time and wrong way. We all
know the same word has dif-
ferent meanings to every-
body. Just think about a color
red. I am sure that my shade
of red differs from yours.
Therefore, our opinions, sug-
gestions – even if our inten-
tions are pure – are able to
destroy other’s self-confi-
dence and cause damage in
their souls. I had an argument
with my oldest child recently.
She broke her promise she
had made with me. At first,
hopefully normal behavior of
a preteen, she tried to find
excuses why she had done
that. (Her friend made her do
it. & I wouldn’t let her do it.
etc.) When I told her none of
them could change my disap-
pointment, her mood turned
into a self-loathing, and dis-
satisfaction. I really had to
focus on my behavior and

Tech Tips, Talk & Advice For Your Computer
Today’s technology makes it
possible for anyone to find
out personal information
about you. Applying for a
job, credit or to go to college
people try to find informa-
tion about you most of that
research is using the internet.
If you are curious about what
is on the internet about you
just go to a search engine
such as Google and type in
your name to see what you
can find. Keep in mind if you
use Face Book, Yahoo or any
social networking site what
you post is available for the
world to see. Not just the
Internet but also Text mes-
saging on your cell phone, it
can be researched and avail-
able for anyone to get years
from the time you sent the
information, you cannot hide
your personal information in
a shoebox in a dark closet on
the internet, someone will
find it and use what they find
against you. So how do we
protect ourselves from our-
selves, well here are some
tips from Electronic Frontier
Foundation at
http://www.eff.org/wp/effs-
top-12-ways-protect-your-
online-privacy;
Do not reveal personal infor-
mation inadvertently.
You may be "shedding" per-
sonal details, including e-
mail addresses and other
contact information, without
even knowing it unless you
properly configure your Web
browser. In your browser's
"Setup", "Options" or
"Preferences" menus, you
may wish to use a pseudo-
nym instead of your real
name, and not enter an e-
mail address, nor provide
other personally identifiable
information that you don't
wish to share. When visiting
a site you trust you can
choose to give them your
info, in forms on their site;
there is no need for your
browser to potentially make
this information available to
all comers. Also be on the
lookout for system-wide
"Internet defaults" programs
on your computer (some
examples include Window's
Internet Control Panel, and
MacOS's Configuration
Manager, and the third-party
Mac utility named Internet
Config). While they are use-
ful for various things, like
keeping multiple Web brow-
ers and other Internet tools
consistent in how the treat
downloaded files and such,
they should probably also be
anonymized just like your
browser itself, if they contain
any fields for personal infor-
mation. Households with
children may have an addi-
tional "security problem" -
have you set clear rules for
your kids, so that they know
not to reveal personal infor-
mation unless you OK it on a
With Eli Heath
site-by-site basis?
2) Don't reveal personal
details to strangers or just-
met "friends".
The speed of Internet com-
munication is often mirrored
in rapid online acquaintance-
ships and friendships. But it
is important to realize that
you don't really know who
these people are or what they
are like in real life. A thou-
sand miles away, you don't
have friends-of-friends or
other references about this
person. Be also wary of face-
to-face meetings. If you and
your new e-friend wish to
meet in person, do it in a
public place. Bringing a
friend along can also be a
good idea. One needn't be
paranoid, but one should not
be an easy mark, either.
Some personal information
you might wish to withhold
until you know someone
much better would include
your full name, place of
employment, phone number,
and street address (among
more obvious things like
credit card numbers, etc.)
Needless to say, such infor-
mation should not be put on
personal home pages. (If you
have a work home page, it
may well have work contact
information on it, but you
needn't reveal this page to
everyone you meet in a chat
room.) For this and other
reasons, many people main-
tain two personal home
pages, a work-related one,
and an "off duty" version. In
the commercial sector, too,
beware "fast-met friends". A
common "social engineer-
ing" form of industrial espi-
onage is to befriend some-
one online just long enough
to get them to reveal insider
information
3) Realize you may be mon-
itored at work, avoid sending
highly personal e-mail to
mailing lists, and keep sensi-
tive files on your home com-
puter.
In most US states and many
if not most countries,
employees have little if any
privacy protection from
monitoring by employers.
When discussing sensitive
matters in e-mail or other
online media, be certain with
whom you are communicat-
ing. If you replied to a mail-
ing list post, check the head-
ers - is your reply going to
the person you think it is, or
to the whole list? Also be
aware that an increasing
number of employers are
monitoring and recording
employee Web usage, as
well as e-mail. This could
compromise home banking
passwords and other sensi-
tive information. Keep pri-
vate data and private Net
usage private, at home. See
this CNN/IDG article on

not be limited to your
office...):

The Outside Story________________________________________
Close Proximity
Doesn’t Always
Generate Heat
by Carolyn Lorié
Few things seem as remote
as the January sun in north-
ern New England. We see the
light, but we feel almost no
heat. In this way, winter can
feel like a kind of exile –
there’s a sense that the Earth
has been flung to the farthest
reaches of its orbit.
The idea that the winter sun
is remote, however, is mis-
guided. In fact, the Earth is
closest to the sun when the
Northern Hemisphere is in
the deep freeze of winter.
This extreme proximity is
and back 1,000 times.
Perihelion and aphelion,
however, are not earthbound
phenomena, and in astro-
nomical terms three million
miles isn’t all that far. On
January 3, the Earth will be
91,403,550 miles from the
sun; on the Fourth of July,
the distance grows to
94,513,225 miles, only a 3.1
percent change.
But the shifting proximity
between Earth and sun is not
without earthly impact.
According to NASA, when
we are closest to the sun, the
average sunlight hitting the
planet is about seven percent
greater than it is at aphelion
in July. We don’t really
notice because the Southern
Hemisphere is better
equipped to deal with it.
Land absorbs more heat than
water, and the Southern
Hemisphere has more water
than land. So even though it
is receiving more light dur-
ing its summer than the Carolyn Lorié lives in Post
less gravitational force from
the sun in our summer
(Southern Hemisphere’s
winter), so the Earth moves a
little slower in its orbit,
lengthening the season,” said
Mark Breen, senior meteor-
ologist at the Fairbanks
Museum and Planetarium.
“We are closer to the sun in
winter, increasing the gravi-
tational effects of the sun,
increasing our orbital speed,
and lessening the number of
days of winter.” While it may
not always seem so, we
Northerners experience
about 94 days of summer, but
only 89 days of winter.
So as winter marches on, I
look forward to Earth swing-
ing ever farther from the sun
until the Fourth of July, when
it can go no farther. I will
also do my best to enjoy the
beauty of the Northern New
England winter; after all – in
relative terms, at least – it’s
not that long.

How to Brighten Your Home with Houseplants that Bloom
By Melinda Myers
Brighten your indoor décor
with plants that bloom.
Whether growing traditional
favorites, flowering tropical
plants, or annuals moved
inside for winter; their color-
ful flowers are sure to elicit
smiles and months of enjoy-
ment. Just provide the right
growing conditions and suf-
ficient light and you will be
enjoying months of indoor
color.
You may have enjoyed an
initial burst of color from tra-
ditional favorites like
African violets and orchids
but struggled to get them to
flower again. Maximize your
enjoyment and their colorful
floral display by providing
supplemental lighting. Plants
with colorful flowers benefit
from brighter or longer peri-
ods of light, especially in
winter, than what streams
through your windows.
Grow lights, which provide
bright, full-spectrum illumi-
nation, are an ideal solution.
You can find many types of
grow lights, including simple
hanging lamps, DIY fixtures,
and metal stands. These are
often relegated to the rec
room or basement but might
be less welcome in your liv-

ing room. Consider furni-
ture-style light stands like
the Bamboo LED Grow
Light Gardens
(gardeners.com) that will
complement your living
spaces. They’re outfitted
with special high-output
bulbs, tucked out of sight and
more than twice as bright as
most standard LEDs. This
allows you to grow most
flowers and even some fruits
without the need to raise and
lower the lights to accommo-
date different plant heights.
Expand your indoor flower-
ing plant collection with a
few tropicals. Here are just
four of my favorites.
Give flowering maple
(Abutilon) bright light and
cooler winter temperatures to
enjoy their beauty all year
long. The solid green or var-
iegated maple-shaped leaves
inspired their common name.
Plants may be compact and
upright or vining, while the
flowers may resemble those
of hibiscus or dangling
lanterns. Select varieties
known for year-round flow-
ering.
Create a focal point with the
unique blooms of chenille
plant (Acalypha). The long,
fuzzy, cascading flowers
resemble chenille yarn.
Perfect as a hanging basket,
set upon a plant stand or
pruned into tree form. This
plant needs high humidity
and plenty of light to main-
tain its health and year-round
beauty indoors.
Enjoy the coppery bronze
flowers of the shrimp plant
(Justica brandegeana). This
long blooming Mexican
native performs best in
bright light and high humidi-

ty. Use it as a hanging basket,
prune into a small tree or set
it upon a plant stand where
the cascading shrimp-like
flowers can be enjoyed.
Brighten your fall and winter
décor with lipstick vine
(Aeschynanthus). The vivid
red flowers emerge from
dark maroon structures,
resembling a tube of lipstick.
The glossy green foliage
adds needed greenery
indoors throughout the year.
The more light these plants
receive, the better the floral
display.
As always, check the plant
tags for specific care instruc-
tions.
You can boost your indoor
floral display by placing
annuals you’re overwinter-
ing, such as geraniums and
mandevilla, under lights to
encourage blooming. Give
these plants bright light,
water thoroughly as needed,
and enjoy the extra color.
Prune if necessary, to keep
the plants full and compact.
Incorporating flowers into
your living space will boost
your mood and reduce stress
while livening your indoor
décor.
