The total price tag for planting the trees was $3,600. “The King Community Shade Tree project address reducing energy consumption, helps with global warming issues, and provides students and parents shade, while improving the aesthetics of the campus and the TURN TO SCHOOL ON A20 CROSSROADS of the WEST GUN SHOW DEL MAR FAIR Via de la Valle exit off I-5 GREEN THUMBS Robert Brown, fifth-grade teacher at Poinsettia Elementary, meets with his fifth-grade students in the new school garden to accept a check from the Carlsbad Garden Club, delivered by Ellen McGrath Thorpe.

OCT. 3, 2008 DR. GOTT Second Opinion Natural help for better sleep Dear Dr. Gott: I am 70 ears old. I have been a light leeper for my entire adult ife. However, sleep has been ore elusive in recent onths. Do you have any nonedical strategies for relief? cross the years, I have ometimes taken 25 miligrams of diphenhydramine or allergies and have oticed some assistance with leeping. I would only be illing to take medication as last resort. Please give me a uick, easy fix. Thank you. Dear Reader: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is an antihistamine that is sometimes recommended as a nonhabitforming sleep aid because it has sedative properties. This is why you experience some relief when taking the medication. It is also sold under the trademark Simply Sleep for those who do not take it for allergies. Most adults require seven to nine hours of sleep a day. There is no evidence to support the belief that older people require less. There are many reasons for sleep deprivation. Family concerns, employment issues, health, some medications, fears or financial obligations can keep us from getting to sleep. Often, we will awaken in the middle of the night with a solution to a complex issue, only to have trouble falling back to sleep. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It is stimulated by darkness and suppressed by light. Levels of this hormone are highest just prior to bedtime. Often, nightlights in a bedroom, a light intentionally left on in a child’s room or a window with a street light shining in will suppress the production of melatonin and cause wakefulness. Take the necessary steps to sleep in a quiet, comfortable, darkened room. Perhaps this simply means moving the furniture to another wall to prevent light from seeping in. Don’t sleep with a television on. The light from the screen is counterproductive in this case, and the sound could add to the problem. Other suggestions include eating lighter meals in the evening. Don’t go to bed after eating a large meal. Discontinue or reduce smoking, and alcohol and caffeine consumption. If you routinely enjoy coffee with or after dinner, switch to a decaffeinated form. Remember that soda and chocolate contain caffeine and should be avoided later in the evening, as well. Exercise as much as possible during the day, and go to bed when tired, not necessarily TURN TO SECOND OPINION ON A20 safe. No more inconvenient than carrying a cup of Starbuck’s coffee. This is what’s called “lowhanging fruit.” When it comes to creating change personally and globally — same as the use of plastic grocery sacks — this is not the least bit as overwhelming as some environmental issues are today. It threatens no one’s job, lifestyle, budget, health, nor does it offend anyone’s politics to address our addiction to plastic. Only in an emergency does anyone in the western world need a and the FAA continue to see through this ruse and have not reacted to their fabricated hysteria. Palomar Airport is a valuable asset to the community and will continue to be so into the foreseeable future.
