This past week has really been a
busy one, but one that was truly
enjoyed.
Thursday evening our volunteers
were honored with a barbecue dinner
for everything they have given to the
residents of Dublin Nursing Center.
The volunteers were served
barbecue brisket, potato salad, pinto
beans, pickles, onions, chips and
watermelon slices. The dinner was
catered by Pat and Dottie Patterson
of Handy Barbecue. The meal was
delicious and Dotti’s potato salad is
out of this world. Pat’s barbecue is
something everyone needs to try. We
appreciate their services.
After the dinner, the volunteers
present were presented Certificates
of Apprecation. The certificates were
presented in appreciation for the
valuable contribution given to
residents of Dublin Nursing Center.
Those present and accepting the
awards were Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Shirey, Alpha Thompson, Coy

All of these volunteers are special
and our resident’s lives are enhanced
daily by the love and sharing they
give.
A special thank you to the ones who
are always so faithful to help at all of
our special events: Denice Patterson,
Blane Lowe, Charles Dittmore, C. W.
Swanner, Frances Rinehart and Wan-
da Richmond. Thank you all for all
you do.
This week members of our dietary
department will be attending two dif-
ferent food shows. One will be in
Dallas and the other in Temple. The
food show is something that everyone
should go to at least one time. They
show different varieties of foods,
ways to prepare, etc. There is always •
room for variety in your every day
meals.
We try and make things attractive
as well as tasting good. No one can
cook as good as momma did, but we
think our girls come pretty close.
Friday, during the noon meal, we
will be grilling hamburgers for our
residents. I’m getting pretty good on
firing up the grill. Come have lunch
with us. The cook can always slap a
few more on the grill.
Everyone needs to put this on their
calendar. Monday, Aug. 3 at 2:30
p.m....this will be the day for our bir-
thday party. McDonald’s will be here
along with the Dixieland Band. Our
cake bakers, Susie Walker and Irene
Glenn, w.ll be bringing some of their
delicious cakes.
Attention family members and
friends: Grandparent’s Day is just
around the comer in September.
To celebrate Grandparent’s Day
we are going to have a Grandparent’s
Day Quilt. To have this quilt, we
would like to ask family members,
guardians and/or friends to help out
on this project.
For each resident we will need a
6”x6" square of material. On each
square we need the name of the resi-
dent, number of grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and great-great-
grandchildren, if applicable.
Residents who do not have any
grandchildren will also be
represented on squares. You can put
their names and symbols of a past or
present hobby or interest that will re-
mind everyone of them.
The work can be done by needle-
point, drawing and markers, iron ons,
sewing machines, embroidery, or
whatever means you desire. For
residents who do not have someone
who could do this for them, maybe
you would like to as a friend or
volunteer.
Each resident will have a square on
our Grandparent’s Quilt. Any kind of
material you desire, any color, just as
long as it is 6x6 square.
We ask that each square be back to
us at the nursing center by Aug. 20th.
Our ladies are planning to quilt the
Grandparent’s Quilt and if some of
you would like to take a few stitches,
come on down. We will be glad to
have you.
The quilt will be ready to display on
Grandparent's Day. This is a very
special project, one for all of us to be
a part of.

Texans could add years
to life if they quit smoking
Five million Texans could add
years to their lives, improve their
health and save nearly $500 each year
if they did one thing: quit smoking.
But doctors at Baylor College of
Medicine say that while most
smokers know the reasons to quit, the
habit is still difficult and often almost
impossible to break.
To help smokers who want to quit
and those who are helping someone
quit, Baylor is distributing a free
brochure on tips to quit smoking.
The new summer fashions are out
in local stores, and the comfortable,
casual look is "in".
“The trend this summer is toward
denims, khaki, and other casual
fabrics. The wrinkled’ look is also
back, so you can put away the iron un-
til the new fall fashions arrive,” said
Dr. Ann Beard, a clothing specialist
with the Texas A&M University
Agricultural Extension Service.
Wrinkles are not found only in cot-
ton and cotton blends this summer.
They are also showing up in silky
looking clothing.
These wrinkles are heat set into the
fabric so they won’t come out after
washing. Wrinkles make garments
easy to care for, and cooler since less
fabric touches the skin.

Smoking is the major preventable
cause of fatal disease in the United
States. It is the primary cause of
cancers of the lung, voice box, mouth
and esophagus, and accounts for 30
percent of all cancer deaths.
Cigarette smoke is a health hazard
to the spouses, children, friends and
co-workers of smokers.
Smoking is also becoming a social
and professional stigma, the Baylor
physicians said. Smokers can expect
to pay higher medical bill and in-
vogue and is popular for many of the
same reasons as the “wrinkled” look.
“Denim is showing up everywhere
this summer. It's no longer a fabric
just for jeans, and it isn’t being
restricted to it's traditional colors.
The soft, washed look seems to be
very popular, but some of the
stronger colors are being worn more
often,” said Beard.
Color combinations are changing,
too. Summer fashions will bring olive
and khaki together, as well as olive
and peach.
These combinations are enhanced
by the primitive looking prints that
are part of the new trend, said Beard.
According to Beard, botique prints
will always be fashionable, but this
summer, the primitive look is what’s
selling.
suranee rates, in addition to the cost
of cigarettes. Smoking on pack a day
can add up to nearly $500 a year.
Smokers find it easier to quit if they
know which of the three kinds of
cigarette dependency, or combina-
tion of them, they suffer from:
chemical dependency, habit, or
psychological dependency.
Smokers who have a chemical
dependency on nicotine may need to
try smokeless cigarettes or see a
physician for nicotine gum until the
addiction is overcome.
When smoking is automatic
behavior, smokers must develop
other habits, such as taking a walk in-
steak of a smoke after dinner.
Those who are psychologically
dependent on smoking to relieve
stress must learn other ways to deal
with anxiety, perhaps a regular exer-
cise program.
Once someone has decided to quit,
staying away from cigarettes is the
hardes part. Smokers trying to quit
need support and understanding from
their friends and family.
Withdrawal is not as bad as some
might think. Symptoms such as ir-
ritability, water retention, and in-
somnia are actually signs that the
body is ridding itself of poison.
Within a few weeks, the benefits of
bein a non-smoker will begin to be
realized.

habit, write: Tips to Quit Smoking,

Nursing Home Honors Volunteers—Volunteers at Dublin Nursing Center were honored Thursday night with a
barbecue dinner. Volunteers were also presented certificates in appreciation for their service to the nursing home
and its residents.
We have talked a lot about honey,
yet a lot of people do not know how
honey is removed from the hive. One
lady from Berkeley, Calif., actually
believed me (at least for a short
time) when I told her that here in
Texas we roped the bees and milked
them. It is not that easy.
Extracting is, however, one of the
fun times in beekeeping. Tedious,
time-consuming, and just plain hard
work (lugging hive boxes weighing
60-120 pounds), it is nevertheless
rewarded by the sticky sweetness and
heady aroma of fresh honey. .f„
But the beekeeper must first be
sure the honey is ready for extrac-
ting. If it is removed from the hive too
soon, the moisture content of the
honey will be too high resulting in a
thin honey that is more likely to fer-
ment. Bees naturally evaporate
moisture from nectar stored in the
hive by exposing drops of honey to
warm air circulated through the hive
by fanning their wings. When the
moisture content is low enough the
bees cover each cell with a thin layer
of wax called cappings. By taking on-
ly comb that have been capped the
beekeeper ensures that the moisture
content is low. This is one step
towards providing a quality product.
Next comes the removal of the
honey from the comb. A few
beekeepers squeeze the comb and
drain the honey out. This destroys the
comb for any future use causing the
bees to draw out all new comb. This is
costly for the beekeeper in time, cost
of equipment, and cost of the honey
the bees must consume to produce the
wax required to draw out the new
comb.
Most beekeepers extract honey
from the comb using centrifugal
force. A sharp, heated knife is used to
slice off the thin capping exposing the
liquid honey stored in the intact cells.
These combs (still inside their
wooden, support frames i are then
placed in an extractor. The extractor
spins the frames inside a stainless
steel drum slinging the honey out of
the cells and against the drum walls.
The comb remains intact and is later
returned to the beehives to be used
again. The honey flows down the
walls and collects in a reservoir built
in the bottom of the extractor drum.
Periodically, the honey is drained off,
strained and bottled to sell as “raw”
honey, or to be stored for processing
later
Next week we will cover straining
and further processing of honey and
see what effects heat, cold, and
storage have upon the quality of
honey.
