Pet of the week<br />
Three-year-old Bandit traveled to the Northeast Animal Shelter<br />
after being rescued and fostered in Florida. He is neutered and<br />
up-to-date on shots. He is an active and fun loving Shepherd and<br />
Pit Bull mix and he is looking forward to becoming an important<br />
member of a forever family. He walks well on a short leash and<br />
knows the command to “sit” before walking through doors. His<br />
favorite activities while outside are running, jumping in the snow<br />
and eating snow. He also plays a great game of fetch and loves<br />
running around with a rope toy in his mouth. While inside Bandit<br />
enjoys being petted and spending time with his people. Bandit<br />
gets along well with some dogs and does not care for others. If you<br />
are interested in meeting to adopt Bandit, please visit him at the<br />
Northeast Animal Shelter located at 347 Highland Ave. in Salem.<br />
Visiting hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. and weekends<br />
10 a.m. - 6 p.m. You can also find more information on their website<br />

As spring approaches<br />
we look for signs of new<br />
growth. It makes me think<br />
about that we are not much<br />
different than flowers. We<br />
all need certain things to<br />
grow. While a flower grows<br />
physically it does not have<br />
emotional needs. Yet, we, as<br />
humans, grow both physically<br />
and emotionally, and<br />
each necessitates different<br />
requirements. And those<br />
needs vary according to our<br />
biological age. I have actually<br />
written a children’s book<br />
on this subject with some local<br />
mini-yogis. I share these<br />
thoughts and lessons with<br />
them<br />
So, what do we need? The<br />
first thing that may come to<br />
your mind is that we need<br />
shelter, food, water, and air.<br />
And you would be right.<br />
In 1943 a psychologist,<br />
Abraham Maslow, became<br />
the first person to introduce<br />
the basic needs (physical<br />
and emotional) of humans.<br />
Usually they are shown as<br />
a pyramid, the lowest level<br />
deals with basic needs like<br />
shelter, sleep, food and water,<br />
the next level deals with<br />
safety and security and feeling<br />
free from harm, then love<br />
and affection and a sense<br />
of belonging and the most<br />
complex needs are situated<br />
at the top of the pyramid<br />
and include self-esteem and<br />
self-actualization or finding<br />
your destiny and reaching<br />
goals.<br />
Physiological needs are<br />
the physical requirements<br />
for human survival. If these<br />
requirements are not met,<br />
the human body cannot function<br />
properly. They include<br />
food and water etc. Emotional<br />
needs are what make us<br />
feel good in our heart. They<br />
include: peace, love, kindness,<br />
courage etc.<br />
But we view these needs<br />
from a different perspective<br />
than children and it is interesting<br />
to see how they look<br />
at this subject. Ask them<br />
about their needs. They will<br />
answer often without worry<br />
and produce a response with<br />
a smile. Older children will<br />
give it deeper thought because<br />
their simplest needs<br />
have already been met.<br />
Younger children may reply-my<br />
family, my house, my<br />
dog. Older children may reply-my<br />
friends, my football,<br />
my dance lessons, my grades.<br />
It is all about creating a balance<br />
and meeting the most<br />
basic needs will move us up<br />
the pyramid.<br />
Family Activities<br />

area, each week have a word<br />
or phrase that the family<br />
focuses on as a team. Being<br />
