Faith Sarisky receives Hall of Fame Award<br />

After 13 years as Co-owner/Broker of Realty World Country Classic<br />

Realty in Mt. Bethel, Faith Sarisky made the difficult decision to<br />

reunite her loyal customers with the strongest real estate company<br />

in the world Re/Max. Faith is proud to be able to offer the benefits<br />

<strong>and</strong> strong financial backing of a proven real estate leader.<br />

RE/MAX of the Poconos is her real estate home, however, Faith<br />

continues to dominate the Slate <strong>Belt</strong> area in her marketing efforts.<br />

Her affiliation with the Lehigh Valley Association of Realtors,<br />

Pocono Mountain Association of Realtors <strong>and</strong> Garden State<br />

Association of Realtors will give her clients the benefit of 3 times<br />

the marketing exposure than most other real estate companies.<br />

Recently, Faith had the distinguished honor of receiving the Hall of<br />

Fame Award. This coveted award is presented to agents who have<br />

earned over 1,000,000 in real estate commission while employed<br />

with Re/max. While only 20% of agents sell 80% of the homes,<br />

only 20% of those agents are successful enough to receive this<br />

award. Faith's 23 years of full time<br />

real estate experience can help you<br />

with your next real estate transaction.<br />

Make Your Big Day as Unique as You are!<br />

(BPT) - Weddings are steeped in tradition - no matter<br />

whom you are or where you live. But what if you're<br />

not interested in wearing the same dress your<br />

mother did, getting married in the same location your<br />

sister did or wearing something blue? Don't worry,<br />

you're not alone. Plenty of brides search for ways to<br />

make their special day as unique as they are.<br />

Here are five ways to put your own special spin on this classic tradition:<br />

1.A guest book you'll use: Signing the guest book is a common<br />

tradition at most weddings; you've probably signed a few in your<br />

lifetime. After the wedding is over, however, this priceless keepsake<br />

often disappears into a box never to be seen again. Break from tradition<br />

by creating a guest book you'll actually use. Take a trip to the book store<br />

with your partner <strong>and</strong> browse the coffee table books. Once you find one<br />

that interests both of you, claim it as your guest book. Your wedding<br />

guests can sign their names in the margins <strong>and</strong> afterwards you'll be left<br />

with a permanent, functional guest book to display for visitors <strong>and</strong> friends.<br />

2.Dance under the stars: Looking to create a one-of-a-kind<br />

wedding? Don't rent the same ballroom as all of your friends. Host your<br />

reception outdoors. You can rent a dance floor from a local rental facility<br />

<strong>and</strong> trained technicians will arrive to set it up easily. You'll dance on a<br />

traditional wood floor while looking up at the stars - what could be more<br />

original than that? Don't forget to rent a tent so that weather doesn't<br />

dampen the mood. You can find more unique flooring ideas at RentalHQ.<br />

com, where you can locate your local rental store.<br />

3.Treasure the memories: Get your guests involved in the event by<br />

placing blank cards <strong>and</strong> pens at each seat location. Ask your guests to<br />

write about their favorite memory of you <strong>and</strong>/or your spouse. Collect all<br />

of these cards <strong>and</strong> turn them into a scrapbook for a treasured keepsake.<br />

4.Prepare a menu that is uniquely you: Chocolate fountains were<br />

once unique <strong>and</strong> elegant, but now they're commonplace. Don't despair,<br />

though, because there are plenty of unique edible snack options you<br />

can include in your special day. If you're getting married in the blistering<br />

heat, rent a snow cone machine to offer your guests some sweet relief.<br />

If you <strong>and</strong> your spouse are big movie buffs or your wedding has a<br />

Hollywood theme, rent a popcorn machine to complete the look. And<br />

for the bride who's still a kid at heart, nothing captures that better than<br />

renting an authentic cotton c<strong>and</strong>y machine.<br />

5.Find the color that suits you: Maybe wearing something blue<br />

doesn't suit you, but perhaps you're not too wild about black <strong>and</strong> white<br />

either. At many venues, though, these colors are the only choices you<br />

have when it comes to tablecloths <strong>and</strong> napkins. Remember, you don't<br />

have to settle; you can provide your own materials simply by renting<br />

them. This opens up a color palette of limitless options. If you are<br />

planning a fall wedding, look for napkins that reflect the colors of the<br />

leaves. Did you meet in college? Choose linens in your school's colors.<br />

Whatever shade speaks to you, you can find it <strong>and</strong> give your wedding a<br />

look no one will expect.<br />

Keep the tradition, but be uniquely you with<br />

options limited only by your own imagination.<br />

you create the wedding you've always wanted, visit RentalHQ.com.

“Supporting women with cancer <strong>and</strong> their families,<br />

the street in their finest high-heels, featuring a 50-<br />

yard Kid’s Fun Dash, <strong>and</strong> a 50-yard Dash/Walk for the<br />

community that supports us.”<br />

Pink Heals is a National not-for-profit organization<br />

Tips for Picking <strong>The</strong> Perfect Pumpkin<br />

Whether you are going to a farm, farmers market, or a pumpkin patch<br />

here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect pumpkin:<br />

• Select a pumpkin that is perfectly orange. A partially green<br />

pumpkin may not ripen.<br />

• Size is also important. Medium pumpkins are the best size for<br />

carving <strong>and</strong> small pumpkins are better for cooking <strong>and</strong> for baking.<br />

• Selecting the shape of a pumpkin is a personal choice. Some like<br />

them tall, others like them round or oddly shaped the choice is yours!<br />

• Do not lift or carry a pumpkin by it's stem.<br />

• A ripe pumpkin will have a hard shell that usually will not dent or<br />

scratch easily when pressing on it with your thumb.<br />

Happy Pumpkin picking!<br />

JUICING 101: JUICE CLEANSING<br />

By Jackie Talero-Rueda, <strong>The</strong> Crunchy Mom<br />

Juice cleansing is a great way to reset your body. This<br />

should be done with caution because during a juice<br />

cleanse, or liquid diet, you don’t consume anything<br />

but Juice for one to five days. Juice cleansing gives<br />

the body a break <strong>and</strong> helps it detoxify <strong>and</strong> repair. Even if you eat healthy<br />

<strong>and</strong> exercise you can benefit from doing a cleanse to flush out the toxins<br />

that are hidden in your cells, tissues, <strong>and</strong> organs. After the holidays or an<br />

alcohol filled weekend is also a good time to cleanse the body. When you<br />

cleanse you replace meals that are processed <strong>and</strong> full of junk with clean<br />

healthy food. You are giving your digestive system a break <strong>and</strong> resetting<br />

it. To do a juice cleanse you should pre-cleanse a couple days before by<br />

eliminating all the inflammatory <strong>and</strong> processed foods from the diet. Some<br />

of these foods are <strong>and</strong> not limited to Alcohol, caffeine, corn, milk, eggs,<br />

gluten, red meat <strong>and</strong> sugar. Eliminating these foods a few days before<br />

allows you to drink large quantities of juice without shocking your body,<br />

especially for beginners. Making the decision on how many days to do<br />

a cleanse is up to you. Never do more than your body can h<strong>and</strong>le. Try it<br />

out for a full day <strong>and</strong> see how you feel. Extend it to three days. Maybe<br />

the next time you can do a 5 day cleanse. If you aren’t ready to do a juice<br />

cleanse then juice all day until dinner. Have a sensible dinner to give your<br />

body fuel to replenish. <strong>The</strong>re are many cleanses out there that you can do<br />

for various days <strong>and</strong> different recipes. I would make sure to find a cleanse<br />

that is for beginners as these tend to have juices with more calories <strong>and</strong><br />

include soups <strong>and</strong> smoothies. Cleansing can cause side effects in the<br />

beginning from detoxing such as headaches, changes in digestion, skin<br />

breakouts, irritability <strong>and</strong> weight changes. Do not exercise while doing<br />

a cleanse. Your body is receiving less calories than it’s used to <strong>and</strong> any<br />

extra calorie burning activities are a recipe for disaster. Always check<br />

with your doctor to give you the okay on starting any cleanse.<br />

TIP OF THE WEEK: Geranium Oil<br />

It can renew your energy when you feel<br />

exhausted <strong>and</strong> calm when you feel angry or<br />

irritable. It also helps balance the hormones,<br />

making it a good option for women who are<br />

troubled by menopausal symptoms.<br />

<strong>September</strong> is World Alzheimer's Month By Michelle Seitzer<br />

Every 67 seconds someone develops Alzheimer's. Someone's gr<strong>and</strong>pa.<br />

Someone's husb<strong>and</strong>. Someone's brother, best friend, or boss. That<br />

someone's world is forever changed by an Alzheimer's diagnosis, <strong>and</strong><br />

around the world, families are forever changed by this devastating disease.<br />

<strong>September</strong> is World Alzheimer's Month, <strong>and</strong> many people around the world<br />

wear purple to honor someone with Alzheimer's on <strong>September</strong> 21st for<br />

World Alzheimer's Day. But on October 1st, when World Alzheimer's Month<br />

is over, things don't go back to normal for families impacted by Alzheimer's<br />

Disease. Things stay the same, or they get worse. For a caregiver of a<br />

person with Alzheimer's, the days are just as long <strong>and</strong> hard after World<br />

Alzheimer's Month is over. <strong>The</strong>re is still no cure for Alzheimer's, still no<br />

effective treatment to keep the symptoms from interfering with one's daily<br />

life, one's lifelong memories. But there is something you can do if you know<br />

someone who has Alzheimer's - whether it's World Alzheimer's Month or<br />

not. Reach out. Offer encouragement to the person living with Alzheimer's,<br />

or support for their caregivers. Alzheimer's has changed your life <strong>and</strong> theirs<br />

dramatically, but that doesn't have to change your relationship. If you know<br />

someone who isn't sure what to do about a recent diagnosis, or someone<br />

who is worried that they may need to be diagnosed, tell them to call the<br />

Alzheimer's Association Helpline. It's free to call, <strong>and</strong> someone is available<br />

24-7, 365 days a year, to answer questions <strong>and</strong> point to resources.<br />

Boost Your Pet's Health with these Preventive Measures<br />

(BPT) - Taking active, preventive measures to<br />

support your health is one of the most important<br />

things you can do to ward off serious illness. You<br />

eat right, exercise, brush your teeth <strong>and</strong> make<br />

sure to get plenty of sleep, all to keep your body<br />

running at its very best. But did you know that preventive health<br />

is important not only for you but also for the lifelong health of your<br />

pets? Instituting preventive health measures for your pets helps<br />

keep them in top physical shape <strong>and</strong> live healthier, happier lives.<br />

Here are three key areas of preventive health for your pet.<br />

• Annual checkups: You know you should see your doctor once<br />

a year for your annual checkup <strong>and</strong> the same applies for your pet.<br />

In fact, an annual checkup may be even more important for them<br />

than it is for you. "Dogs <strong>and</strong> cats age much faster than people so<br />

missing one yearly appointment for your pet could be comparable<br />

to missing five annual checkups for yourself," says Dr. Ellen Lowery,<br />

associate director of U.S. Veterinary <strong>and</strong> Professional Affairs at Hill's<br />

Pet Nutrition. <strong>The</strong> best way to prevent disease is to schedule regular<br />

checkups with your veterinarian. Bringing your pet for an annual<br />

health examination allows your veterinarian to assess any risk<br />

factors <strong>and</strong> spot problems at their earliest stages. This will help your<br />

pet live a happier, healthier <strong>and</strong> longer life.<br />

• Get plenty of exercise: Exercise has numerous health benefits<br />

not only for your body but for your pet as well. If you have a family<br />

dog, walking him or her twice a day for 15 minutes is generally<br />

advised. <strong>The</strong> number <strong>and</strong> length of walks may increase or decrease<br />

depending on the breed, health <strong>and</strong> age of your dog. Make sure to<br />

brush <strong>and</strong> bathe your dog as well, especially if a recent walk has<br />

brought him or her in contact with tall grassy or forested areas or<br />

involved wading or swimming. Cats, of course, do not need to be<br />

walked, but that doesn't mean you can disregard their exercise.<br />

Engage your cat in active play, whether it is chasing a stuffed toy<br />

at the end of a stick or batting a ball of catnip around the kitchen.<br />

Either way, your cat is being active <strong>and</strong> that is good for his or her<br />

overall health.<br />

• Offer a nutritious diet: "Proper nutrition is a cornerstone of pet<br />

health," Dr. Lowery says. "Pet parents should choose a quality pet<br />

food that provides optimal nutrition for their pet's specific life stage<br />

<strong>and</strong> activity or special needs." Your veterinary healthcare team is<br />

your best resource for selecting the right food to feed your pet <strong>and</strong><br />

will also provide education <strong>and</strong> guidance on the how much <strong>and</strong><br />

when to feed your pet for optimal health. For additional information<br />

on helping your pet achieve a healthy weight, visit Healthy Weight<br />

Calculator at Pet360.com.<br />

Preventive care is just as important for your pet as it is for you.<br />

<strong>The</strong> good news is that the same preventive care principles that<br />

benefit you also benefit your pets. You can take the right preventive<br />

approach for your pet with annual checkups, daily exercise <strong>and</strong> a<br />

nutritious diet, <strong>and</strong> both you <strong>and</strong> your pet will be feeling even better.<br />

A dedication ceremony took place on<br />

Saturday, <strong>September</strong> 20th in Pen Argyl for<br />

Totts Gap Arts Institute's newest mural<br />

"Homefront". <strong>The</strong> "Homefront Mural" is on<br />

the side of "Pies to Die For Cafe'' located on<br />

the corner of E. Pennsylvania <strong>and</strong> S. Robinson<br />

Avenues in Pen Argyl.<br />

Work on the mural began this past summer<br />

<strong>and</strong> was completed in early <strong>September</strong>. <strong>The</strong><br />

mural depicts a train carrying troops through<br />

the area during World War II. Veterans who<br />

were represented in the Mural were honored<br />

at the dedication <strong>The</strong>y were Donald Jones,<br />

Burdell Hontz, <strong>and</strong> Morris Metz.<br />

Some of the ceremonies participants wore<br />

clothing reminiscent of the era. Clothing<br />

was from the collection of Janet Wilson.<br />

Entertainment was provided by "Vicki Doney<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Stompers" <strong>and</strong> the Bangor High<br />

School Chamber Choir. Local dignitaries were<br />

present as well over 200 attendees who came<br />

out for the dedication of the Homefront Mural.


With third marking period grades in, it’s obvious my<br />

son has pulled himself up <strong>and</strong> out of the ashes of last<br />

marking periods troubling report card. Yes, even kids<br />

with gifted IQ fall off the good grade wagon, especially<br />

as the subject matter gets more challenging <strong>and</strong><br />

they’re use to not having to put in much effort because<br />

school work always came easy. This issue has caused<br />

my son to hit the wall quite a few times in middle<br />

school. Add to this the issues of poor planning, not<br />

willing to ask for help or distractions, particularly of the<br />

electronic type. As with all kids, when my son applies<br />

himself he does quite well. <strong>The</strong> problem is getting him<br />

to apply himself when his mind keeps w<strong>and</strong>ering to the<br />

world of Minecraft, Pokemon or Skyl<strong>and</strong>ers. His desire<br />

to live in the electronic world, whether it’s simply<br />

surfing the great wide web or playing video games,<br />

far exceeds his desire to give more than the minimal<br />

when it comes to his school work. Not that he doesn’t<br />

like school. He loves learning. His mind is a sponge. He<br />

just doesn’t want to do the work that comes with it. He<br />

wants to learn the info, process it <strong>and</strong> move on.<br />

My sons poor report card lead to a complete ban of all<br />

things electronic. Mom became the keeper of his laptop,<br />

iPod Touch, wii remotes, <strong>and</strong> DS’s. During this ban, he<br />

was only allowed to use his laptop for school work <strong>and</strong><br />

when I was present. <strong>The</strong>re was much whining at times,<br />

particularly during his down time. He would infer there<br />

wasn’t anything to do. At that point, I would tell him I<br />

would get rid of all his Legos, art stuff, books, guitar,<br />

African drum, board games, etc… I’m sure you get my<br />

point. My goal was to hopefully have him reconnect<br />

with the things that motivated him before video games<br />

entered his world. Note, I tried<br />

hard to keep these “brain sucking”<br />

devices out of our home. My son was<br />

7 when he got his first game system,<br />

a DS, which in gamer years is old.<br />

<strong>The</strong> wii didn’t enter our home till he<br />

Zombified Video<br />

Game Players<br />

was 12 <strong>and</strong> I was hesitant because I<br />

had already seen addictive behavior<br />

rearing it’s ugly head when he<br />

played the DS. All the other devices were purchased, in<br />

the past two years, with money he saved from birthdays<br />

<strong>and</strong> Christmas. That in itself is a worthy trait, it’s just<br />

too bad the money is usually spent on electronics.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reversal of troubling grades means the moratorium<br />

on electronics has been lifted. Lord help me. Even<br />

with our “What would Carl do?” breakthrough, when<br />

video games are involved all bets are off. My son is<br />

like a junky in need of a fix. This past marking period<br />

was the equivalent of going to rehab for him. A rehab<br />

that reinforced his problem with self-control. On more<br />

than one occasion during this ban, he was busted for<br />

searching my room for his hidden electronics, which<br />

not only threatened an extended ban, it broke the trust<br />

between him <strong>and</strong> I. (Don’t know why he even tries, he<br />

always gets busted.) This trust has been broken <strong>and</strong><br />

rebuilt more than once over the course of his gaming<br />

years. Stressing the importance of trust is a tough thing,<br />

particularly when a lack of self-control is what triggers<br />

IT’S A MATTER OF TRUST<br />

PUBLISHED: February 14, <strong>2014</strong> - wakingthewalker.wordpress.com<br />

the action that breaks the trust. I wonder, can pushing<br />

the trust issue make him aware of his self-control<br />

problem, particularly with electronics? Only time will tell.<br />

My son does underst<strong>and</strong> how important trust between<br />

us is, <strong>and</strong> we have had multiple discussions about it,<br />

but when his electronic addiction bites, the infection<br />

spreads quickly. Causing my sometimes rationally<br />

minded son to turn into a rabid zombie. He’s in a<br />

trance, staring into the glow of his electronic device,<br />

growling <strong>and</strong> hissing if he’s interrupted. (Beware he<br />

bites!) Nothing exists but the world on that screen.<br />

Breaking into that world <strong>and</strong> pulling him into the world<br />

of the living is next to impossible. That was until the<br />

apocalyptic world of “<strong>The</strong> Walking Dead” became a<br />

bonding agent for us. Somewhere in the peripheral<br />

edges of his mind, the mention of anything TWD related<br />

gets his attention enough to break the electronic hold.<br />

So, I am again turning to this zombie apocalypse world<br />

for guidance in tackling the trust issue.<br />

Trust or the lack thereof, is the thread that weaves<br />

through the storylines in “<strong>The</strong> Walking Dead.” I have<br />

on more than one occasion pointed this little detail out<br />

to my son. In particular, the trust between the father<br />

<strong>and</strong> son characters of Rick (Andrew Lincoln) <strong>and</strong> Carl<br />

(Ch<strong>and</strong>ler Riggs). Rick, having been separated from his<br />

family at the beginning of the apocalypse, would have<br />

become a zombie buffet if Glenn (Steven Yuen) hadn’t<br />

trusted his instincts believing it would be OK to bring<br />

Rick into his group. A group that would reunite Rick<br />

with his wife <strong>and</strong> son, which was Rick’s ultimate goal,<br />

in addition to surviving the apocalypse of course. Once<br />

reunited, besides fighting off zombies <strong>and</strong> looking for a<br />

safe haven, Rick’s real challenge was to hold his family<br />

together <strong>and</strong> somehow keep his son from growing up<br />

too fast. A feat that can be undaunting when one of your<br />

daily tasks is killing the undead. Rick knew though, at<br />

some point he would have to arm his son, (for me it was<br />

what was the right age to give my son a cell phone), but<br />

giving Carl a weapon, particularly a gun, was something<br />

he wanted to hold off on until he believed he was mature<br />

enough <strong>and</strong> could be trusted to use only in emergencies.<br />

Thank God he did when he did though, because if<br />

it wasn’t for Carl, Rick would have become zombie<br />

Shane’s dinner. Father trusts son, son saves his life.<br />

Carl has faced many serious “grown up” situations<br />

in which he appeared to prove he was making a wise<br />

choice when using his weapon. That was until he shot<br />

an unarmed teenager during an ambush by another<br />

group of survivors. (Yup, you have to fear the living too.)<br />

Needless to say, this disturbed Rick, the trust between<br />

he <strong>and</strong> Carl was broken. He took Carl’s gun, hung up his<br />

own gun <strong>and</strong> stepped down as head of the group so he<br />

could attempt to have a more “normal” relationship with<br />

his son. Carl was not happy about losing his weapon,<br />

(much like my son was about losing his electronics), but<br />

over time he appeared to underst<strong>and</strong>.<br />

All seemed just ducky between these two until the<br />

sanctuary they had created was destroyed by a<br />

sociopath <strong>and</strong> they were on the run again. By this<br />

point, Carl is a teenager <strong>and</strong> his actions <strong>and</strong> words<br />

prove that even in a zombie apocalypse a teenager<br />

can be an ungrateful snot nose. Going on a tirade, he<br />

blames his father for everything that went wrong <strong>and</strong><br />

believes he could get by on his own without him. As his<br />

father lays passed out from the injuries he sustained<br />

during the attack, Carl goes on a scavenger hunt in<br />

search of food. This adventure proves to be a little too<br />

close for comfort for Carl, almost losing a battle with<br />

a walker. Once back at the house they are squatting<br />

in, a shaken Carl finds his father still passed out <strong>and</strong><br />

believes his father may have died <strong>and</strong> is turning into<br />

a zombie. Holding a gun, ready to shoot, he has an<br />

epiphany, realizing he would rather die at the h<strong>and</strong>s<br />

of his father than go on alone.<br />

Fortunately, for Carl, Rick is<br />

not dying, <strong>and</strong> the two can go<br />

back to square one, rebuilding<br />

the trust that was hanging on<br />

by the flesh of a rotting zombie.<br />

See, even in an apocalypse,<br />

you can start anew.<br />

Granted, we don’t have to face the extremes the<br />

characters in “<strong>The</strong> Walking Dead” face, but I<br />

have found some of these situations to be really<br />

valid teaching tools. Or at least a door to open up<br />

discussions with my son. My son relates to Carl, he <strong>and</strong><br />

the character are the same age, <strong>and</strong> seeing Carl diss<br />

his father really upset him. “How could he do that?” he<br />

said “that’s his dad.” Not that these two haven’t had<br />

major issues pop up between them before this, but<br />

they always seemed to have a genuine respect for each<br />

other. And as long as there is respect, you can rebuild<br />

the trust. This time though, Carl’s behavior was the<br />

epitome of disrespect. I too was stunned. I commented<br />

that he was behaving like a typical ungrateful teenager.<br />

My son responded, “I know I couldn’t make it without<br />

you.” I was speechless.<br />

So, there is hope even on the darkest days – that your<br />

“walker” will wake, having had the epiphany that<br />

makes him realize the root to any healthy <strong>and</strong> happy<br />

relationship is simply a matter of trust.<br />

On a side note, it has been about two weeks since my<br />

son has gotten his electronics back. With them came<br />

new rules regarding time allotments <strong>and</strong> a log sheet to<br />

track his time. <strong>The</strong> log sheet is my way of testing his<br />

self-control. He has always used a timer, but he would<br />

get so lost in his game that he wouldn’t even hear it,<br />

so, my theory is if he actually has to log in a start <strong>and</strong><br />

stop time, he will be more conscious of actions, thus<br />

keeping him from being consumed by his electronic<br />

world. Will it work? Only time will tell. As can be<br />

expected, my son wasn’t thrilled about any of the new<br />

arrangements, but so far he is abiding by them. I’m<br />

hoping that his recent epiphany plays a role in finding<br />

a happy medium where electronics are concerned <strong>and</strong><br />

that there won’t be a need for rehab again. Although,<br />

the threat of future rehabs is my best weapon in the<br />

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel<br />

Pinwheels For Peace<br />

Mrs. Donna Mazzella, Art Teacher at Our Lady of Mt.<br />

Carmel School, prepared the children for “Pinwheels<br />

for Peace Day”. It is an art <strong>and</strong> literacy project that<br />

allows students to express their feelings regarding<br />

peace. On <strong>September</strong> 21, 2011, people in over<br />

2,400 locations throughout the world “planted”<br />

approximately a million pinwheels in public places,<br />

in order to promote their thoughts <strong>and</strong> feelings about<br />

peace. Students everywhere have been preparing for<br />

International Day of Peace, scheduled for <strong>September</strong><br />

21, <strong>2014</strong>, by creating<br />

pinwheels. As part of the<br />

creation process, students<br />

write their thoughts<br />

about peace, tolerance,<br />

cooperation, harmony<br />

<strong>and</strong> love on the side of<br />

the pinwheel. On the<br />

other side, students draw<br />

to visually express their<br />

feelings.<br />
