Park Pool Pals Fund Raiser
On Sunday evening, during the final 2016 Summer Sounds Concert at Weona Park, members of the Weona Park Pool Pals sold Homemade Pie and Ice Cream as a fundraiser to those who attended the concert. “Desire,” one of the premier 50’s & 60’s Bands in the area, gave a wonderful show to the more than 200 people who came to listen and dance at beautiful Weona Park.
The “Pool Pals” was created to try to keep a Weona Park Pool in the park. The pool dates back to the early 1930’s and was an important part of the park that was painstakingly built by the citizens of Pen Argyl to provide an ideal spot for summer outings. As was stated in the 50th Anniversary of Weona Park’s Booklet, “Weona Park is owned by citizens of Pen Argyl. It is not a private enterprise and is not operated solely for profit.”
The goal of the Pool Pals is to apply for grants to build a new, smaller and more efficient pool without raising taxes. If you feel that Weona Park Pool is important to you and you would like to get involved in this endeavor, please see us on Facebook at Weona Park Pool Pals or join us at our next meeting on Sept. 19 at 7:00 pm at St John’s Lutheran church, 12 N. Westbrook Ave., Pen Argyl.

Stowaway Black Cat Found on Plane
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- A stowaway cat was found hiding underneath a seat on a flight between Ottawa and Vancouver on Thursday morning.
Passenger Kath Thompson shared a photo of the black cat, discovered by a flight attendant on the Air Canada flight.
"Look who we found under our seats on AC189," she wrote.
Thompson told UPI the flight attendant said the incident was the first time in her 30 years of work she had to retrieve a cat from a plane.
According to CTV, the cat was traveling with a couple and another cat but escaped from its carrier and began wandering about the plane.
The flight attendant ultimately reached under the seat to grab the runaway cat, who Thompson said went without protest.
"Anyone who's ever tried to pick up a cornered cat knows they can be a little feisty but not this one," she said.

Say Cheese! How What You Eat
Affects Your Smile
(NewsUSA) - Face it: We live in a selfie-centric society that, combined with our health-driven lifestyles, makes a smile more important today than it has been in the past. And while your smile speaks volumes to the world around you, it should also mean a lot to you since it can boost your self-esteem and confidence. That's why it's so important to look at what you eat and learn how it can help or harm your teeth.
The Stainers
For many of us, a cup of coffee is essential to starting the day off right. For your teeth, it sets the stage for stains. And for those who like to have a glass of red wine at night, you're also ending your day with a noted tooth stainer. Other culprits can include: tea, sports drinks, curry, berries, tomato sauce and candies.
The Eroders
Your enamel is not only vulnerable to obvious acids like citrus fruits, vinegar and white wine, but sugar can have an acidic effect on your enamel as well. Plaque bacteria use sugar to produce acid, which then eats away at tooth enamel. This means the sodas, juices, sports drinks and candies
-- basically anything with sugar in it -- can be eroding your enamel.
The Breakers
It goes without saying that biting into something very hard can damage your teeth. Similarly, something extremely chewy can pull on teeth and cause damage or loosen a crown. The foods to be wary of include: hard candies, chewy candies, ice, popcorn seeds and corn on the cob.
The Driers
That horrible "cotton-mouth" feeling after you've had a couple of drinks is actually bad for your teeth. When saliva flow is reduced, you stand a greater risk of tooth decay, oral infections and possibly gum disease. Triggers that can cause dry mouth include: alcohol, coffee, tea, caffeinated beverages and any salty foods.
Don't despair! There are plenty of food options that actually promote tooth strength, whiteness and freshness. Feel free to indulge in fiber-rich fruits and vegetables that stimulate salivation. Cheeses, milk, yogurt and other dairy products are packed with calcium, phosphates, vitamin D and other minerals that promote all-over health. Also, calcium mixes with plaque and sticks to your teeth, providing protection from acids and rebuilding enamel on the spot. Green and black tea (without sugar added) can slow down tooth decay and gum disease by suppressing bacteria. Use fluoridated water to brew your tea, and you've just added a powerful decay prevention agent.

Selecting Interior Finishings for Your Home
(NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - When building or renovating a home, the use of interior finishings can help create a finished and unique look . Interior finishings can include trim or moulding, wall treatments, interior doors, posts and columns, stairway systems, and ceiling treatments. Here are some tips and tricks from interior design experts at Metrie to help you choose the best interior finishings based on your style and home:
* STYLE: There are endless options when it comes to moulding profiles. It's important to consider the style of your home, both inside and out when selecting the right moulding, along with the lifestyle, personalities and design preferences of those living in the home. Metrie has a fantastic online resource at Metrie.com called Room Styler to help guide the selection process.
* TYPE: Primary trim is used in most home installations and includes baseboard, casings and crown mouldings. They are the most functional trim elements and help set the tone of a room. Design enhancing trim such as chair rail, panel moulding and architraves add extra dimension and flair to any room. Ornamental trim, a decorative trim, helps warm up a space; corner blocks, plinth blocks, rosettes and Ikons are part of this category. To help ease the chaos of choice, Metrie has designed the Then & Now Finishing Collections, the industry's first coordinated finishing elements consisting of moulding, trim and interior doors sized and proportioned to fit together with ease and precision.
* MATERIAL: Choose a material based on application and the finished result desired -- options can range from solid wood species, to MDF to faux wood and flexible moulding options.
* SIZE: The choice should be based largely on the ceiling height of the room. In many cases, there are complementary profiles that can be used in a home with varying ceiling heights. The size may vary, but the style should remain consistent room to room.
* APPLICATION: Trim can be used in a number of non-traditional ways, such as creating door headers, wall treatments or frames, and can be layered or built-up for a unique or custom look. Planning the design in advance can ensure that all of the necessary products are ordered at one time, reducing down time in the project.
