COVID-19 is a new disease and we are still learning about it. We do know that it is spread very easily from person to person through respiratory droplets (when you cough, sneeze, talk, sing, etc.). We also know that older adults can be more likely to develop severe illness if they contract COVID-19, so it is important to take steps to protect yourself and stay healthy. Here are some things you can do to prevent contracting and potentially spreading COVID-19: Stay home if you have ANY symptoms of illness. Some symptoms of COVID-19 include: Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath New loss of taste or smell Fatigue Muscle or body aches Wear a face covering whenever you are outside your home and when other people are present. Make sure your face covering covers both your nose and mouth. Do not gather in large groups. It is recommended to keep gatherings to fewer than 10 people. Stay six (6) feet away from people who do not live with you. Wash your hands well and often. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. Visit this Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website: https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html to learn more about COVID-19 and how to protect yourself. You can also visit the Menasha Health Department’s website: https://www.cityofmenasha-wi.gov/departments/ health/covid-19.php or call (920) 967-3520. 2 Registration We ask for your help in making these programs and events a success.

Well maybe not exactly; The term “dog days” comes from the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians who were referring to constellations rather than our furry, canine friends. Here is an excerpt from an article found on The Old Farmer’s Almanac website that gives a brief explanation of where the term comes from: “What are the Dog Days of Summer? The term “Dog Days” traditionally refers to a period of particularly hot and humid weather occurring during the summer months of July and August in the Northern Hemisphere. In ancient Greece and Rome, the Dog Days were believed to be a time of drought, bad luck, and unrest, when dogs and men alike would be driven mad by the extreme heat. Today, the phrase doesn’t conjure up such bad imagery. Instead, the Dog Days are associated purely with the time of summer’s peak temperatures and humidity. Why are They Called the Dog Days? This period of sweltering weather coincides with the year’s heliacal (meaning “at sunrise”) rising of Sirius, the Dog Star. Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Majoris—the “Greater Dog”— which is where Sirius gets its canine nickname, as well as its official name, Alpha Canis Majoris. Not including our own Sun, Sirius is the brightest star in the sky. In ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome, it was believed that the dawn rising of Sirius in mid- to late summer contributed to the extreme weather of the season. In other words, the “combined heat” of super-bright Sirius and our Sun was thought to be the cause of summer’s sweltering temperatures. The name “Sirius” even stems from Ancient Greek seírios, meaning “scorching.” For the ancient Egyptians, the dawn rising of Sirius (known to them as “Sothis”) also coincided [with] the Nile River’s flood season.

  • Digging Deep with Cynthia Brian, the Goddess Gardener, for August
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | Digging Deep with Cynthia Brian, the Goddess Gardener, for August Published August 19th, 2020 Digging Deep with Cynthia Brian, the Goddess Gardener, for August By Cynthia Brian "Dog Days bright and clear, indicate a happy year!"~ The Old Farmer's Almanac, 1817 Sirius, the Dog Star, rises in summer in the Northern Hemisphere with the "dog days" traditionally beginning on July 3 and ending on Aug. 11. The ancient Egyptians welcomed Sirius as a forecaster of the floods of the Nile River. They could prepare for the river's overflow delivering much needed rich soil to their deserts or destruction to their lands. The Greeks and Romans did not appreciate the sweltering weather believing Sirius, meaning "scorching" in Greek, brought drought, disease and disaster. The Roman poet, Virgil, described Sirius as the "bringer of drought and plague to frail mortals." Aug. 11 has come and gone, yet the month of August is notoriously hot, dry, and this year, permeated with a global pandemic. And although the historical meaning of "dog days" has nothing to do with our canine comrades, it is a fact that many house-bound families Lacy silk tree and oleanders add color to the have decided to adopt a hound or two. What better time landscape. Photos Cynthia Brian to romp in the yard with a new puppy than now as we shelter-in-place?

  • The Fundamentals of Stargazing Sky Tours South
    The Fundamentals of Stargazing Sky Tours South 01 – The March Sky Copyright © 2014-2016 Mintaka Publishing Inc. www.CosmicPursuits.com -2- The Constellation Orion Let’s begin the tours of the deep-southern sky with the most famous and unmistakable constellation in the heavens, Orion, which will serve as a guide for other bright constellations in the southern late-summer sky. Head outdoors around 8 or 9 p.m. on an evening in early March, and turn towards the north. If you can’t find north, you can ask someone else, or get a small inexpensive compass, or use the GPS in your smartphone or tablet. But you need to face at least generally northward before you can proceed. You will also need a good unobstructed view of the sky in the north, so you may need to get away from structures and trees and so on. The bright stars of the constellation Orion (in this map, south is up and east is to the right) And bring a pair of binoculars if you have them, though they are not necessary for this tour. Fundamentals of Stargazing -3- Now that you’re facing north with a good view of a clear sky, make a 1/8th of a turn to your left. Now you are facing northwest, more or less. Turn your gaze upward about halfway to the point directly overhead. Look for three bright stars in a tidy line. They span a patch of sky about as wide as your three middle fingers held at arm’s length. This is the “belt” of the constellation Orion.

  • Chapter One Excerpt for the Upper Room
    CHAPTER ONE EXCERPT FOR THE UPPER ROOM Chapter One Dotted with thick forests of gray cypress, tulip, and magnolia, the territory known as Florida rests vaingloriously amid opalescent southern waters. Wild, long-stemmed flowers sway gently in the summer breeze, as damp moss that seems to fall from the sky clings to the trees. Along the Tamiami Trail across Florida's Everglades, alligators sun themselves on the banks, ready to scramble into the muddy water at the slightest provocation. Maureen Montgomery was born in Silo, near the Everglades, on a humid evening in July during dog days, that period of inactivity between early July and early September when the sultry summer weather comes to the northern hemisphere. It was so warm that day that the lazy alligators, seduced by pleasure, lay lined up along the swamp banks in orderly fashion, waiting. In the midst of the swamp stood a crudely built shanty. Inside, on a living room sofa, lay a woman who was almost as big around as she was tall. Ruby Montgomery, wearing a long, shapeless black flannel duster, rested on her side sipping her twelfth can of beer that day, a thirty-year-old black woman with a round face, small brown eyes, heavy black eyebrows, and generous lips. She had a nose that was too wide for her to be considered handsome. Her house smelled of boiled pork and steamed cabbage. She had just lit the coal-oil lamps, and the dim light illuminated the walls of the living room with huge distorted shadows. The furniture was cheap and shabby, but everything was neatly arranged, for Orderliness and Godliness were part of southern tradition.

  • D.O.G. TALK from D.O.G
    D.O.G. TALK from D.O.G. OBEDIENCE GROUP * * LIVING WITH DOGS A Tired Dog is a Good Dog Exercise, we all know, is fundamental to good health. For dogs and humans alike, slothful ways lead to, at best, diminished well-being and poor muscle tone, at worst obesity, heart ailments, and joint problems. In dogs a couch potato existence can also prompt behavior problems. Sometimes just quirks, sometimes full-on neuroses similar to those seen in caged dogs. Almost all dogs were bred with a working purpose in mind. The seemingly sedate Basset Hound? Bred for rabbit hunting. The Corgi? A herder. It makes sense, then, that all dogs need to run their engine, whatever its size, frequently and vigorously to function well. (And contrary to popular belief, dogs rarely self-exercise if left alone outside. They stalk birds, bark at strangers, and lie around in the shade.) Exercise earns you a happier, better-behaved dog. Tired dogs bark less, chew less, sleep more, and rest easier when left home alone. And exercise has profound eff ects on a dog’s personality. The same dog can either tear through the trash and disembowel the couch cushions or snooze peacefully, depending on the quality of the workouts he gets. So, must you take up marathon running if you have a Border Collie or a terrier mix? Of course not. But a stroll around the block is not enough. Train your dog to fetch or play Frisbee. Sign up for a dog sport or activity like tracking, fl yball, or agility.

Her Story Andromeda was a princess from a region in Africa. Her parents were rulers, her mother was Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia believed that she was so beautiful, even more beautiful than all of the sea nymphs around. This upset Poseidon, the ruler of the sea. He sent a giant sea monster named Cetus to destroy the region where Andromeda’s parents ruled. They were promised to have their region spared if they sacrificed Andromeda, their daughter. They chained Andromeda to a rock and there she stayed until she was rescued. Perseus who was riding his horse, Pegasus, was flying high in the skies above and swooped down to save Andromeda, in return turning Cetus into stone. YOU SHOULD KNOW • Andromeda’s stars aren’t very bright. • Andromeda contains the Andromeda Galaxy, it’s very similar to the Milk Way Galaxy. • It’s a spiral galaxy that contains over 200 billion stars, as well as a double star.
