The fun run, for many children, plants the seed of good health and physical fitness. As they grow older, many of these kids move up to the 5K or 5-mile race, some even become great road racers. More importantly, they all will have a better sense of how important family, fitness, and fun is in their lives. Here is the race info: Race time: 7:45 a.m. Entry fee: $5 Feaster Five has something for every member of the family, including kids 12 years old or younger. Grouped by age, over 700 children will demonstrate their fitness at age-appropriate distances that range from 100 yards to 600 yards: 4 and under: 100 yards. Ages 5-6: 200 yards. Ages 7-8: 300 yards. Ages 9-10: 400 yards. PAUL BILODEAU/Staff photo Ages 11-12: 600 yards. The children’s race starts off the festivities at the annual Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Road Race in Andover.

Effective Thursday, November 19, 2009, Lawrence General Hospital has prohibited the use of all tobacco products including but not limited to cigarettes, cigars, pipes and chewing tobacco on all hospital grounds. “This step serves to further Lawrence General Hospital’s mission to improve the health of the Merrimack Valley,” said Dianne J. Anderson, President and CEO. “We’ve not simply prohibited the use of tobacco products; we’ve empowered those affected by the new policy. We’ve made available a robust set of tools to help them quit and better their overall health”. Lawrence General Hospital has widely promoted the start of their ban on tobacco products by internally communicating the availability of cessation resources to those who would like to seek assistance in quitting. The hospital is also a major contributor to the Mayor’s Health Task Force of Lawrence and has partnered with other outside agencies for community support on this important initiative. The tobacco free policy includes buildings, grounds and parking lots leased, owned or operated by Lawrence General Hospital. This new policy will apply to all persons on the campus, including employees, patients and visitors.

Speaking in the main lobby of the historic Everett Mill, Rivera said “Ten months ago we stood in this room and kicked off our campaign for Mayor of Lawrence. Many of the people standing in this room were part of that event and have been with us throughout the campaign. On that day, we made a commitment that if elected we would govern this city with integrity, with honesty, and with professionalism. Most importantly, we made a commitment to making Lawrence better for every single one of its residents….As everyone knows we’re still waiting for the outcome of Saturday’s recount, and the transition process will not begin until that is complete. I want to be clear that we are not taking anything for granted in terms of the outcome, but at the same time we think it is the responsible thing to do to get the transition process underway. Lawrence has waited long enough for real progress and we cannot afford to lose a single day.” “The transition will reflect the way we intend to govern: thorough, thoughtful and professional.

Our landlord in Orleans had told us that he raised three or four hundred bushels of corn annually, and also of the great number of pigs which he fattened. In Champlain’s CHAMPLAIN “Voyages,” there is a plate representing the Indian cornfields hereabouts, with their wigwams in the midst, as they appeared in 1605, and it was here that the Pilgrims, to quote their own words, “bought eight or ten hogsheads of corn and beans,” of the Nauset Indians, in 1622, to keep themselves from starving.1 1. They touched after this at a place called Mattachiest, where they got more corn; but their shallop being cast away in a storm, the Governor was obliged to return to Plymouth on foot, fifty miles through the woods. According to Mourt’s Relation, “he came safely home, though weary and surbated,” that is, foot-sore. (Ital. sobattere, Lat. sub or solea battere, to bruise the soles of the feet; v. Dic. Not “from acerbatus, embittered or aggrieved,” as one commentator on this passage supposes.) This word is of very rare occurrence, being applied only to governors and persons of like description, who are in that predicament; though such generally have considerable mileage allowed them, and might save their soles if they cared.
