Talkin'
Mornin'
For the sake of settlin’ the ongoin’
argument, I’ll put out the suggestion. If ya wanna be out when the bulk of kids
are goin’ to be trick or treatin’, do
it on Saturday evenin’.
The main concern I have is
bein’ around kids the whole weekend
waitin’ ‘till Sunday to get out and
gather the candy. It won’t be possible if
kids start showin’ up at the door on
Saturday. Seein’ all those goodies gathered
will stir the mildest child into wantin’ to
get into the action.
Now I’m guessin’ that
there will be those who don’t hand out candy
on the night before Halloween just on principle,
but I’m also guessin’ that most
won’t be able to turn away those cute bunny
costumes with out a treat. If you’re gonna
be home on Saturday evenin’, better have the
treat bag ready.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Weekly Column Natural Nutrition
By Mari An Willis
Essential fatty acids (EFAs)
are fats that are needed by the body but are not
manufactured by it so we must get them through
diet. Most recently people have focused on fish
oils as the source, but EFAs are also available
through sources. Some of these would include:
borage oil, flax seed oil, evening primrose and
black currant. In the body EFAs act to strengthen
cell membranes and promote growth of muscles and
nerves.
According to Dr. Andrew Weil, a
leading nutritionist and alternative physician,
EFAs are used therapeutically to inhibit blood
clotting, improve cholesterol profiles and thus
help prevent heart disease.
Borage oil is an oil derived
from borago officinalis, a sweet little
blue flowering plant. It is used in Europe to
restore adrenal function, alleviate PMS symptoms,
and reduce inflammation, and help in the
prevention of heart disease. Borage oil may also
stimulate the growth of hair and nails. When
applied to the skin it has a soothing effect and
it is even reputed to keep the mood pleasant.
