Dear Readers,

We Americans eat a lot of sugar. Why? Because it tastes good. The American Heart Association recommends 6 added teaspoons a day for women and 8 teaspoons per day for men. While most Americans’ consumption of sugar comes from soda pop, there is also hidden sugar in many foods.

May 5, the Rocky Mountain Conservancy’s Field Institute Program is offering a brand-new course titled “Leave No Trace: Awareness & Principles.”  This full day course is designed for friend groups, volunteers, outdoor enthusiasts, and other public land stewards.

LAMAR MIDDLE SCHOOL INVITATIONAL TRACK MEET

“Rampage” stars Dwayne Johnson as a primatologist who has to save Chicago from the triple terror of an enormous genetically-mutated gorilla, an enormous genetically-mutated wolf, and an enormous genetically-mutated crocodile. Right off the bat you should know whether or not this is a movie you want to see. But if you still haven’t made up your mind, consider this: there are no fewer than three scenes where Johnson steals an empty helicopter. Is that a movie you want to see, one where The Rock steals three empty helicopters?
