Spring Allergies? - Try This
Here are a few natural remedies to help you ease the sneeze of seasonal allergies: Apple cider vinegar — Drinking about two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in an 8 oz. glass of water once every day, either all year or just during allergy season, can help to slow the production of the histamines that create allergic reactions. Local honey -- Eating honey made by local bees can help alleviates allergy symptoms because it is made from the same plants causing the allergic reaction. Taking in a small amount of the allergen works just like a vaccine, helping your immune system build antibodies against it. Lime Juice — The juice of half a lime into a glass of lukewarm water and sweetened with a teaspoon of honey flushes the system of toxins from allergens. Drink this mixture once daily, first thing in the morning. Chamomile tea -- Recognized throughout the world as a natural antihistamine, one or two daily cups of chamomile tea, sweetened with honey, can provide immunity toward many common allergens. Garlic -- Another good natural antihistamine is garlic. Incorporating it into meals will not only help fight allergy symptoms, it also adds a flavor boost to many popular dishes.

Book Review
"The Johnstown Flood" by David McCullough; review by Katy Albanese A recent Express-Times article commemorated the 50th anniversary of The Johnstown Flood, (974.8 MCC), which launched the writing career of David McCullough. He has since become one of our country’s foremost historians. McCullough’s meticulous research and concise writing style explained the events leading up to the disaster in Johnstown, PA in 1889. The owners of a fishing club 14 miles above the city of Johnstown neglected to maintain a dam on their property. When a torrential rainstorm drenched the area, the ensuing flood took more than 2000 lives. Readers of this tragedy learn that the wealthy owners of the Club did not act responsibly, even though the townspeople assumed they were looking out for the citizens down in the valley. In the fifty years since the book on Johnstown was published, McCullough has continued to write. The library has many of his titles, including Truman, 1776, John Adams, Mornings on Horseback (Theodore Roosevelt), The Great Bridge (Brooklyn Bridge), Path between the Seas (Panama Canal) and The Wright Brothers. Each topic is well written, thoroughly researched, easy to read and informative. Expand your horizons and check out one of McCullough’s book the next time you visit the library.GRA. THIS DAY IN HISTORY - April 8Aaron sets new home run record 1974 On this day in 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hits his 715th career home run, breaking Babe Ruth’s legendary record of 714 homers. A crowd of 53,775 people, the largest in the history of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, was with Aaron that night to cheer when he hit a 4th inning pitch off the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Al Downing. However, as Aaron was an African American who had received death threats and racist hate mail during his pursuit of one of baseball’s most distinguished records, the achievement was bittersweet. Henry Louis Aaron Jr., born in Mobile, Alabama, on February 5, 1934, made his Major League debut in 1954 with the Milwaukee Braves, just eight years after Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier and became the first African American to play in the majors. Aaron, known as hard working and quiet, was the last Negro league player to also compete in the Major Leagues. In 1957, with characteristically little fanfare, Aaron, who primarily played right field, was named the National League’s Most Valuable Player as the Milwaukee Braves won the pennant. A few weeks later, his three home runs in the World Series helped his team triumph over the heavily favored New York Yankees. Although “Hammerin’ Hank” specialized in home runs, he was also an extremely dependable batter, and by the end of his career he held baseball’s career record for most runs batted in: 2,297. Aaron’s playing career spanned three teams and 23 years. He was with the Milwaukee Braves from 1954 to 1965, the Atlanta Braves from 1966 to 1974 and the Milwaukee Brewers from 1975 to 1976. He hung up his cleats in 1976 with 755 career home runs and went on to become one of baseball’s first African-American executives, with the Atlanta Braves, and a leading spokesperson for minority hiring. Hank Aaron was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982.
