Trinity Lutheran Church held a program this summer known as “Tasty Tuesdays”. This is the second summer that the church has provided free bag lunches to children and adults throughout the community. The program ran from June 16 to August 11 and provided over 350 lunches to those in need. The lunches would not have been possible without the support from the church and the community.
We would like to extend our thanks and praise to all those who partnered with us this year- Slater Family Network for helping to spread the news, Bangor Lions Club, Merchants Bank, Bangor General Store, Weis Markets, Thrivent Financial, the Bowley family and an anonymous donor from within the community. We would also like to thank all of the individuals who gave of their time on Tuesdays to help set up, prepare and provide the lunches for those who needed them. Local historian Donald Jones talks Saturday morning about the history of the building currently occupied by the Bangor General Store in downtown Bangor. Jones said that the building first housed a jewelry store in 1902 and had an opera stage on the fourth floor. The A & P also did business there in the forties and fifties.

Oregon Cat, 26, Oldest Living Feline Pet
SISTERS, Ore., Aug. 14 (UPI) -- An Oregon cat that turned 26-years-old Aug. 1 has reclaimed the title of the world's oldest living cat, Guinness World Records confirmed.
The record-keeping organization said Corduroy, owned by Ashley Reed Okura of Sisters, Ore., held the title of the world's oldest living cat in 2014, but surrendered the title when a cat named Tiffany Two was found to be older.
Tiffany Two died recently at the age of 27 years, 2 months and 20 days, giving the title back to Corduroy.
Corduroy, who is a little more than four months older than pop star Taylor Swift, has been with Okura since he was a kitten.
"We are thrilled! I bought Corduroy a mouse to celebrate ... it is wonderful to share him with the world," Okura said.
The oldest-ever cat, Crème Puff, died in 2005 at the age of 38 years and 3 days old

BACK-TO-SCHOOL....
Surviving Back-To-School Stress
StatePoint) From new schedules and activities to the social anxieties of unknown teachers and new friends, back-to-school season is often overwhelming for students and parents. Thinking ahead can help simplify the transition from the slow ease of summertime to the bustling busyness of the school year.
Follow these tips to help your family adjust to a new schedule, so everyone is ready when the first bell rings:
1. Resume the Routine
Summertime schedules are often lax, but a more structured routine is important during the school year. At least a week before classes start, reestablish set bedtimes and mealtimes to ease everyone back into school year habits. Also, practice getting up earlier so there’s no fear of oversleeping on the first day.
2. Create a Family Calendar
The school year is jam-packed with new itineraries and activities. Purchase or create a large wall calendar to help the family stay organized. Review school schedules before classes begin and note all important dates, like after-school activities, field trips or PTA meetings. Set up a weekly family meeting to go over the upcoming week’s commitments -- make it fun with a treat like a pizza dinner.
3. Simplify Shopping
Shopping for new supplies and clothes is an important step for getting kids prepared -- and excited -- for the school year. Create a checklist of items you’ll need to buy, and plan where you’ll need to go to make purchases. Check dress codes and required supply lists before you head out, so you don’t have to make two trips.
4. Energize the Kids by Personalizing
Number 2 pencils and plain folders can be boring, so get kids eager to go to school by letting them personalize their new belongings. There are easy and inexpensive ways to add flair to school gear, like using Duck Tape. Kids can cover notebooks and folders in a favorite design, customize locker organization and décor with cool on-trend colors, or craft one-of-kind creations, like pencil pouches and tablet covers. Available in more than 250 colors, designs and licenses, there’s a roll to suit any kid’s style.
5. Set Up a Studying Station
Concentration is key for effective study sessions. Ensure students have a special space to focus on schoolwork, complete with all the supplies they’ll need to ace upcoming tests and projects. Older children can study in their bedrooms, but younger students should do homework in areas like the kitchen or dining room, where parents can supervise and provide assistance.
6. Allocate an Area for Backpacks & Belongings
With everything from textbooks and tests to permission slips and sports gear, students have lots to keep organized. Create a designated “drop zone” at home, with an assigned area or container for each student’s backpack and other school items to ensure belongings don’t get lost. Use products like Duck Chalkboard and Dry Erase tapes to make labels for each container, so items don’t get mixed up, as well as to create custom message boards to jot down family reminders.
7. Go for Quality, Not Quantity
Less is more when it comes to after-school activities. Sign students up for one or two extracurriculars that pique their interests, rather than engaging in everything that’s available. Be sure to consider timing and location when making decisions. Too much time spent running from one activity to another increases stress and wastes valuable homework time.
8. Have Healthful Meals on Hand
Good nutrition is important for school success. Stock up on fruits and other healthy snacks to easily pack lunches. For dinnertime, make weeknights simpler by cooking a few healthful meals on the weekend, then freezing for use throughout the week. Knowing dinner is already prepared will lessen stress for parents, while ensuring kids get the nutrition they need

Ask The Doc........ Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing. Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making. I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile. It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry. Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com. Slate Belt Senior Center
