SOLERA® SOFT SHADES The ashes are created when palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday are burned. (Palm Sunday falls one week before Easter each year and is when people remember Jesus’s entrance into Jerusalem.) Ashes predate Christianity as a symbol of penance and are meant to be a solemn reminder that we are all mortal and remind us to be humble as we begin preparation to remember Christ’s death and celebrate the res- urrection. Giving stuff up Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Eas- ter, which this year is March 27. Many, but not all, celebrants decide to give up something during Lent as a sacrifice. My past is littered with failed attempts at giving up fast food and chocolate.

Back in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we’d often order large fish sandwiches either from a local Catholic Church that was putting on a fish fry, or from this great little hole-in-the-wall eatery/bar called Rainbow Inn.

Cate Blanchett and Rooney ‘Carol’ is a Mara star in director Todd Haynes’ “Carol,” based on Patricia Highsmith’s “The Price of Salt,” opening beautiful Friday, Feb. 5, at the but dry film Fountain Theatre in Mesilla.

Review by Jeff Berg For the Las Cruces Bulletin

“Carol,” opening Friday, Feb. 5 at Me- silla’s Fountain Theatre, is based on a novel titled “The Price of Salt” by Patri- cia Highsmith, who was a closeted lesbi- an at the time and published it under a pseudonym. I’ve not read the book, but it is said to be rather upbeat, which is more than one can say for the often droll, trance- like picture it inspired.

The New Mexico Department of Health and the New Mexico Environ- ment Department are encouraging New Mexicans, especially smokers and former smokers, to test their homes for radon, an odorless and in- visible gas. Radon testing is easiest and most effective in cooler weather months when houses tend to be closed up for warmth. “Since we can’t see or smell radon, people tend to downplay exposure and ignore the possibility that there might be a silent killer in their homes,” said Department of Health Cabinet Secre- tary Retta Ward, MPH. Breathing in radon can increase the risk of lung cancer. This risk for lung cancer increases when a person is ex- posed to radon and also smokes. This is why it’s especially important for current and former smokers to test their homes for radon. Radon can build up to dangerous levels inside new and old homes. The only way to know if the gas is seeping into your home is by testing for it. Test- ing is easy, inexpensive and only takes a few minutes. Radon test kits can be purchased at local hardware and home improvement stores and are typically priced under $25. However, New Mexi- co residents can take advantage of a discount offered through the state En- vironment Department, which offers test kits for only $7.95. The New Mexico Department of Health ‘s Environmental Public Health Tracking program provides download- able resources about radon and information on how you can order a low- cost kit on its website, https:// nmtracking.org. If your test shows ev- idence of radon gas at levels of health concern in your home, call the Envi- ronment Department at (505) 476-8608 to get information about ways you can reduce radon gas in your home and minimize your exposure. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon problems can be fixed by qualified contractors for a cost similar to that of many common home repairs such as painting or having a new water heater installed. If you smoke and want to quit you can learn about cessation options by calling 1-800-QUIT NOW or for Spanish 1-855-DEJELO-YA.
