It had outgrown the downtown location. The Haunted Village 1899 -- which ran for six nights over the last two weekends of the month -- featured 13 "Spookstations" and attracted just over 1,500 visitors. "It was a really great effort put on by the stu- dents," said Mrs. Neale. "They decorated up the village and the grounds in a Halloween theme and got dressed up as spooks themselves and scared people as they - | went through the guided tour." The museum itself made for a great setting for the event, she said. "It was the perfect set- ting... it's creepy here at night without the stu- dents decorating it." The $3,400 will be used to pay for items such as office supplies, building and grounds maintenance, and for the collections committee.

Most women go through menopause without too much trouble. Menopause can be easier to deal with if you know how to take care of yourself. A healthy diet is one step in this process. Hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause. To help cope. try avoiding heavy meals, fatty. salty or spicy foods. Stimulants like tea. coffee. alcohol and chocolate can trigger hot flashes. After menopause. women have a greater risk of developing osteoporosis. By eating a healthy diet and keeping physically active. this risk can be reduced. Eating foods containing increased Calcium and choosing lean meats help w/preventing osteoporosis. Foods high in calcium include low fat milk products. salmon. sardines. nuts, beans. broccoli and tofu, As women grow older. colonic needs decrease as the body no longer has to support an active reproductive system and we are usually less physically active. If we continue to eat the same. weight gain may occur. Fat can be useful during menopause as the body can use the fat to make estrogen. Until menopause. women's fat tends to be stored on hips: after menopause it is stored in the abdomen After menopause. a woman's risk of developing heart disease increases due to decreased production of estrogen.
