Food For Thought

Are Certain Foods As Dangerous As We Are Led To Believe?

A healthy lifestyle goes beyond simply what we put in our mouths.

Just for the record, in the 50 or so years I've been placed on this earth, I have owned four dogs, Clover, Simba, Sasha, and Curly Q. I have owned seven cats, Salem, Willow, Peaches, Max, Kaiya, Nala, and Smokey. Smokey had a tumor on his front left leg and had to have an amputation. He adapted nicely with three legs and still maintained his good nature. For twenty-three of those fifty or so years years I have maintained a 55 gallon aquarium. I have owned anoles, hampsters and hermit crabs. I have a Russian Turtoise name Frank Sinatra ( he has a long skinny neck). Hence, I am very much aware of the difference between pets and livestock. For the record I have never eaten any of them !    I do, however, understand the need to mass produce …

Have A Few Laughs, Support Breast Cancer Research, Thursday Night at Tewksbury C.C.

Tewksbury Mom and Daughter sponsor Comedy Night to raise money for Susan G. Komen 3-Day For The Cure

When Tewksbury resident Jo Ann Spencer started walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day "Walk For The Cure" to help raise money for breast cancer research eight years ago, her motivations were very simple. "We used to walk so our daughters wouldn't have to," explained Spencer, who covers the 60-mile trek with her sister Kathy Woods and her friend, Kathy Ramirez, each summer. "But we've been at it long enough that now our daughters walk with us." Spencer's eldest daughter, Lauren, is a freshman at Suffolk University. She will be walking for the third straight year. Woods, of Dracut, has been walking for over 10 years, and she will be joined by her daughter Erin Woods Quealy, of Lowell. Ramirez, also from Lowell, will walk with her 25-year-old …
