Most researchers agree that babies who receive a

Simon was a little skeptical at supple-

human nutrition and he feared there might
be some small bit of contamination in the

whose specialty is fisheries, reminded Simon
that the fish oil for babies is from the

Speaking of bath, Dorothy and Simon
use no soap on Jane’s skin. No lotions. No
powders. Her skin is soft and clean and she
smells wonderful. Water is a wonderful
cleanser all by itself. They use cotton
diapers and the “rubber pants” are woolen,
hand knit by Simon’s mother with untreated
wool that contains a lot of natural lanolin.
The lanolin remains when washed at cool
temperatures. Most of the time the woolen
“rubber pants” are not soiled and they air
dry between uses; the lanolin combined
with urine neutralizes any smell. On the
rare occasion that they use disposable
diapers because of being away from home,
Jane’s bottom becomes red and they need to
apply zinc oxide.

But I prefer mormor. More and more joy!

pad of paper and some pencils will they do with their summer?
You want to keep them involved, minds
stimulated and skills developing. But, you don’t want
to make their vacation boring or an extension of
school. Where’s the compromise?
Sadly, many kids become addicted to the “visual
Valium” of video games and other TV-centric
hobbies. You can almost see their brain waves
slowing as the pool of drool collects below their
gaping mouths. But it seems to be an easy solution to
the alternative where idle minds create little rascals.
Alternatives to TV
Summer camps hold a great resource and there’s
one for every interest from art to zoology. Lessons in
music, swimming and various sports leagues also
abound. BUT these often have a cost or a commit-
ment that may not fit in with your budget or
schedule.

Fest celebrates Fort Wayne’s rivers

BY SUSAN ALDERMAN
Imagine a Saturday late in June; your
family surrounded by a lush green
landscape. Mix in an historic river
spanned by an exquisite bridge; add in
fun and educational activities on and off
the water; then sprinkle in an arts and
crafts show and sale and blend in a
farmers market for added flavor. Stir in
your favorite food vendors; add a liberal
dash of live music; and top it all off with
a dazzling display of fireworks.
