Talkin'
Mornin'
From all appearances, we
won’t be havin’ a fall cleanup day
anytime soon.
The cost for collectin’
the end-of-the-summer junk would be just over
$33,000 accordin’ to a bid from American
Disposal.
I’m sure it’s
expensive to run several trucks for eight or ten
hours for a day, but this seems a little steep.
Especially when ya figure that a good portion of
the stuff gets picked up by folks haulin’ it
to their house.
Maybe we should have a
"City Wide Swap Day." Ever’one
just piles their junk in their front yard and
junkers get their choice. At the end of the day,
anything left over gets taken to a big bon fire
to celebrate the day of cleansing.
It doesn’t look like the
City will want to pay the bill or impose it on
citizens. One man’s junk is definitely
another’s treasure.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Weekly Column Natural Nutrition
By Mari An
Wills
Why are herbs a
good choice? Because they are most frequently
well balanced foods. Take for example parsley. It
is pretty, tastes great and is balanced . It is
often used as a diuretic because it does the job,
but contains large amounts of potassium which we
deplete when we remove excess fluids from the
body. It is deep green, containing large amounts
of chlorophyll, which among other things freshen
the body including breath. Some people I know use
this herb in place of water retention drugs. You
would discuss this with your doctor first.
Another fine example is
yellowdock. As a green, that is exactly what it
tastes like. Somewhat bitter, but loaded with
iron and vitamin C. Herbalists use it as a blood
cleanser and blood builder. This form of iron is
often more digestible and the body most generally
assimilates vitamins and minerals which are
present in food. This herb is a good nutrient for
the liver. Since this is a spring green, it is
good for that encapsulated herbs are available
for use year round.
Nose stopped up? Historically
speaking, horseradish can help clear up those
sinuses. Rather than block up and stop the
dripping, why not induce a sneeze and rid the
sinuses of the irritant? Just remember to cover
your mouth, please.
One of my customers related her
recent bout with mono which her doctor explained
she may have gotten from a wild sneeze among
other things.
