BY CHRISTY NADALIN [email protected] As a young child in rural China, Lei Nich- ols learned early about the relationship between food and medicine. Her grand- mother would prepare soups rich with all- natural ingredients that also have medici- nal properties, like ginger. There was no tea culture in her small village — they did not even have electricity. "I was 7 or 8 years old before I saw my first car," Lei said. Lei would be introduced to tea later, mov- ing to live with her family in the city. Her mother would make tea, with dried chry- santhemum often a key ingredient. "For me it's like magic," Lei said. "This flower can fix any problem." Marriage and family brought Lei to the United States, to her former husband's home state of Massachusetts, where she still lives in Attleboro. The mother of two daughters (one a freshman in college and

It was there she noticed that her students weren't always consuming healthy drinks, to put it mildly. She describes a day that she saw a student consume a large container of a brightly-colored liquid; a sweetened so- called sports drink. "I asked my daughter what that was, and she told me," Lei said. "And I asked her why the students would drink that, and she said it was because they were thirsty."

Paid for by the Rhode Island State Right to Life Committee, Inc. ABORTION EXTREMISM at the Rhode Island General Assembly Seven East Bay lawmakers are pushing an extreme piece of abortion legislation at the State House. Senator James Seveney and Representatives Gregg Amore, Susan Donovan, Joy Hearn, Katherine Kazarian, Jason Knight, and Kenneth Marshall have cosponsored S274 / H5343, which would:

• Repeal and prohibit State restrictions on public funding for abortion and state employee coverage for elective abortion; • Prohibit the State from restricting, that is, banning any “method” of abortion, even PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION; • Allow abortions beyond our longstanding “quick child” threshold, potentially allowing abortions all the way up until birth by leaving the determination of fetal viability solely to the discretion of the “attending physician,” that is, the abortionist contracted to kill the unborn child... even abortionists like Kernit Gosnell; • Strike down most informed consent requirements, putting vulnerable women in danger; • Prohibit state and local agencies from restricting the “manner” in which abortions are provided, potentially putting local abortionists beyond regulatory oversight (health and safety regulations and inspections for example) by the Department of Health and other state agencies.

The bill amounts to a virtually complete deregulation of the local abortion industry, even as Congress is recommending criminal investigations into Planned Parenthood for allegedly traffcking for proft in fetal body parts harvested from abortions performed by them. Is this really why East Bay residents sent Amore, Donovan, Hearn, Kazarian, Knight, Marshall and Seveney to the State House?
