"She shares with her class her many experiences, but the line of teacher and then friend is definite," Coffin wrote in her letter to The Toronto Toronto Sun. "I feel that it is important that students see their teacher as a teacher teacher first and then a friend. That way, they know what is expected and what will not be allowed to happen. happen. On the day she was told about making the first selection round, Coffin delivered a bouquet of flowers flowers to Earl in her classroom. When told, Earl said she and Coffin jumped up and down with excitement. While she does not know how many other teachers made the first cut, to Earl it doesn't matter. She just knows "It feels great." Earl compared the feeling to what she thinks being nominated for an Academy Award would be like. "This is recognition for a job well done." And, while she wasn't sure about how people would react when they hear about it, she said it is important that people know. "All too often, the negatives of teaching are reported on and we need to see some positives positives for us too." Earl is not new to the area of special special education. She graduated from Queen's University with her B.A. and B.Ed. She is also a "Specialist in Special Education" due to a number number of courses she took during university. university. She spent seven of her 14 years of teaching in northern Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan, three as the Speech and Language Language Resource specialist at the Northumbcrland-Newcastle Board of Education and four years at Dr. Emily Stowe in Courtice. Teaching is something Earl is comfortable with and something she always wanted to do. As she puts it, it fits in with her personality. "I can remember being in my parents' basement with a blackboard and playing school," she explained. "I come from a family of teachers," teachers," Earl noted. One of these people was an aunt who died last year. She was a special special inspiration to Earl. "She was ahead of her time and she encouraged me," she said. Earl noted, when told of the selection selection last week, she felt her aunt was with her at that moment. Otiter people who inspired her to be the best she can be arc Julius Varga and Hugh Hubbs who taught her in high school. These particular teachers had an impact on her when she was a stu- Bom March 9th dent. She remembers them as being "innovative." She tries to be like those teachers she admired in her past Coffin attests to that in her letter: "She definitely encourages them (her students) to spread their shaky wings and leave the security of her class by encouraging them to try more subjects in their integrated classes." Some of the things she has done with her classes have been different. During Canada's 125 national birthday year, her class sent a Discovery Discovery Box to a class in Melita, Manitoba. The children wrote about their community and their school and sent mementos including newspapers newspapers and photographs. During the Olympic Games, she inspired her students to watch the games. "She has instilled in all the students students of her class an interest in Canadian Canadian Figure Skating and a great interest in the Olympics," Coffin says in her nomination letter. "I'm sure that all the students during the future Olympics will remember remember her, and will watch our athletes. athletes. "I know that I was more interested interested in the past Olympics due to my daughter's enthusiasm, and desire to hear how we had done. The first question I was asked when waking my daughter for those two weeks was "well, did we win today?" While she has been inspired from people in her past, she is also inspired inspired by her students. She talked about a student who had been having problems with math. When the student had accomplished accomplished what he had set out to do, she awarded him a special certificate. certificate. When he opened it up and saw that it was especially for him, his eyes lit up. "That gave me a warm fuzzy feeling," Earl said. By getting the students interested in the life around them, having an open door policy and respecting the students, Earl has found a niche for herself. As Coffin says in the final paragraph paragraph of her letter: "She is what all the parents of special needs students, need for their child. A caring, understanding, supportive, teacher and friend. "I wish I could take her with us for the rest of my daughter's education," education," Coffin wrote. Earl said she doesn't do everything everything on her own. She explained that the parents of the students she teaches and the school's administration have been extremely supportive. With a smile in her eyes, Earl added "I don't think of this as a job. I enjoy teaching, even on the days when everything that can go wrong does."

Young" women who eat less fat and more grains can lower lower their risk of breast cancer later in life. This type of diet works best if used during early puberty when breast growth and development are more active. ASA, (or Acetylsalicydic Acid) often causes stomach upset and bleeding, A new form is currently being researched that puts the ASA in a skin patch. It is used as an anti- dotting agent and seems to work as well as the oral form. Not on the market yet Speaking of the "patch", not all drugs can be administered in this manner. Some drug molecules are simply too large to penetrate the skin: some are too water soluble (fat-soluble drugs penetrate best). So we will still be swallowing tablets and capsules for a while yet.

These coated tablets should be swallowed whole. Medicine-cabinet cleanout is a great activity in the spring. Sometimes we forget the ointment tubes.
