vember is National Prematurityareness Month. Nearly a

million babies in the Unitedesthats 1 out of every 9born premature each year. Itbirth that occurs at least threeks before a babys due date. Itlso known as preterm birth (or

than 37 weeksfull term isweeks). Important growth andelopment occur throughoutgnancyespecially in the nalnths and weeks.

earlier a baby is born, the moreere his or her health problemslikely to be. Although babies

n very preterm are a smallcentage of all births, these veryerm infants account for a largeportion of infant deaths. Morents die from preterm-relatedblems than from any other singlese. Some premature babiesuire special care and spendks or months hospitalized in anatal intensive care unit. Thoseo survive may face lifelongblems such as: intellectualbilities; cerebral palsy; breathing

respiratory problems; visualblems (including retinopathyprematurity); hearing loss, andestive problems.

k Factors - Even if a womans everything right duringgnancy, she still can have amature baby. There are somewn risk factors for prematureh. For example, one risk factor aving a previous preterm birth.

ditionally, although most blackmen give birth at term, onrage, black women are about

% more likely to have a prematurey compared to white women.

reasons for the di erence arearea of intense research.

other known risk factors are:ying more than one baby (twins,lets, or more); problems withuterus or cervix; chronic healthblems in the mother, such ash blood pressure, diabetes,

clotting disorders; certain

infections during pregnancy;cigarette smoking; alcohol use, or illicit drug use during pregnancy.

Premature Birth: What to Know -Doctors sometimes need to deliver a baby early because of concernsfor the health of the mother or the baby. An early delivery shouldonly be considered when thereis a medical reason to do so. If apregnant woman is healthy and the

pregnancy is progressing well, it isbest to let the baby come naturally,in its own time.

Although most babies born just afew weeks early do well and haveno health issues, some do havemore health problems than fullterm babies. For example, a babyborn at 35 weeks is more likely tohave jaundice, breathing problems,and a longer hospital stay.

What Can I Do? There are thingsthat women can do to improvetheir health, lower the risk of having

a premature baby, and help their baby stay healthy. These include:

Avoid smoking, alcohol, and drugs.

See your health care provider for amedical checkup before pregnancy.Get prenatal care as soon as youthink you may be pregnant, andthroughout your pregnancy. Talkto your health care provider about:how to control diseases such ashigh blood pressure or diabetes; ahealthy diet and prenatal vitamins(taking 400 micrograms of folicacid daily before and during earlypregnancy); concerns aboutpregnancy and warning signs or symptoms of preterm labor; useof 17 alpha hydroxyprogesteronecaproate if you had a previouspreterm birth, and breastfeeding(breast milk is the best food for babies, whether they are born earlyor at term).

Warning Signs of Preterm Labor - Inmost cases, preterm labor beginsunexpectedly and with no knowncause. Its important to seek careif you think you might be having

preterm labor, because your doctor may be able to help.

The warning signs are: contractions(the abdomen tightens like a st)every 10 minutes or more often;change in vaginal discharge (leaking

uid or bleeding from the vagina);pelvic pressurethe feeling thatthe baby is pushing down; low, dullbackache; cramps that feel like amenstrual period, and abdominalcramps with or without diarrhea.

Birth is a complex and wonderfulprocess. Fortunately, the outcomefor most women is a full term,healthy baby. More research stillis needed to understand the riskfactors for premature birth, such

as how family history, infections, race and enutrition, and environmework together to put some w

at greater risk for a prdelivery.

gined that it was the last time wed ever sing that hymn without

stion. We returned to our desksbeautiful November 22nd 50

s ago to hear the radio show

dramatization of Great Momentsin American History interrupted by:The President has been shot. Therest of the day is a blurred memory:my stoic teachers eyes lled withtears; knowing that the whole worldhad changed, not understandingany of it; expecting Walter Cronkiteto say it had been a mistake, insteadseeing his tears as he announced our Presidents death. I was nowherenear ready for my childhood to endat ten years of age, but a chunk justfell out and died, leaving me and mygeneration with unresolved childishissues, a mistrust of the future anda loss we had no place for. Holdinghands around the dinner table that

night, giving thanks with my family,I felt emptied of gratefulness.

I surround myself with remindersof why gratitude is vital. Photos ofmy daughter, inspirational art, andbooks ll my home. I nd that, nomatter what class I attend, fromeconomics to aging, keeping agratitude journal of some sort isrecommended. There was Sarah BanBreathnachs Simple Abundance inthe 1990s, given to me by my friendMary (for whom I am grateful). Eachyear, I start it only to let it slip away.Julia Camerons The Artists Way gotme through some tough times too.I picked up her book of everydayreadings recently, and it now joinsmy plethora of daily reading booksstrategically and creatively placedaround my home. I really wantto be that person who wakes upgrateful each and every morning.While I may not always wake up thatway, Im pretty much in the zonebefore leaving for the day. Co ee,that sacred elixir, artfully combinedwith meditation, reading, and myvery green drink, can usually helpme leave my inner Eeyore at home,tail attached. A panoply of lovingkindness completes my ensemble,and o I go.

I struggle with my mantle of goodnaturedness. That sad 10-year-oldmalcontent sneaks up to step on itshem and my eyes well up as all theunfairness of the world hits me. Ifeel everything and then I take it toofar and make it personal, hopefullyfor no more than a moment, beforeI straighten everything back up, fullydressed with a smile. I know I amnot alone in this con ict, but when ithits, alone is how I feel. FortunatelyIm smart, willing and able to openup my eyes and heart to gratitudeand get on with living my veryblessed life.

I have work I love and that nme. I have an amazing daughter, who is my teacher and deepest joy. myself a perfect cup of comorning. I have friends wme laugh, cry with me, puof my cave, challenge meme, bring me soup, celebchide me, surprise me, anto give up on me. I can have the means to surroundwith books borrowed and which gives me another 24/7 friends. I have chilclaim me as their own with hbedtime stories and the shsecrets.

harvest time again. Of course,est season may not meanmuch to you if you dont

k in agriculture. Nonetheless,can learn a lot from thosedo especially in your role

n investor.

sider these lessons:

Feed your portfolio . Byerly combining fertilizersirrigation, farmers seek to

imize their crops growth. Ifwant to give your portfolioopportunity to grow, you

d to feed it with the rightof investments. This generallyns owning a reasonable

entage of growth-orientedcles, such as stocks and stock-d securities.

p in mind: the value ofe types of investments willuate, sometimes sharply theres no guarantee you

t lose some or all of your cipal.

e pa ien . Crops dont grownight. Farmers know theyput in countless hours of

k before they see the fruits of labors. And they know that,g the way, they will likely

erience setbacks caused by aety of issues: too much rain,little rain, insect infestationshe list goes on and on.

en you invest, you shouldntect to get rich quick and

can expect to experienceacles in the form of bear kets, economic downturns,

changes in legislation and soforth. Continuing to invest for thelong term and focusing more onlong-term results than short-termsuccess can help you as you worktoward your objectives.

Respond to your investmentclimate. Farmers cant controlthe weather, but they canrespond to it. For example, whenits been dry for a long time, theycan boost their irrigation. Asan investor, you cant controlthe economic climate, butyou can make adjustments. Toillustrate: If all signs point to risinglong-term interest rates, whichtypically have a negative e ect on

long-term bond prices, you mayneed to consider reducing your exposure, at least for a while, tothese bonds.

Diversify . Farmers face avariety of risks, including badweather and uctuating prices.They can help combat boththreats through diversi cation.For instance, they can plant somecrops that are more drought-resistant than others, so they

wont face complete ruin whenthe rains dont fall.

As an investor, you should alsodiversify; if you only owned onetype of nancial asset, and thatasset class took a big hit, youcould sustain large losses. Butspreading your dollars amongan array of investments (such asstocks, bonds, cash and other vehicles) may help reduce thee ects of volatility on your portfolio. Be aware, though,

that diversi cation by itself cantguarantee a pro t or protectagainst loss.

Relatively few of us toil in theelds to make our living. But, by

understanding the challengesof those who farm the land,

we can learn some techthat may help us to nurtuinvestments.

o encourage children to

explore an aptitude or desirefor creativity. Children maywant to take classes to developtheir abilities, from paintingand drawing to fashion design,sculpture, pottery, and jewelrymaking.

I highly recommend giving achild a musical instrument,since music education re-quires many skills that aretransferable to other areas.Choose something simple for achild with no previous musicalexperience, and be sure to matchthe instrument to the childs agegroup. For example, very youngchildren can play percussiveinstruments, such as drums,or simple wind instrumentslike recorders. An importantconsideration is the volume ofan instrument and the po-tentialfor loud instruments (such aselectric guitars or drums) toannoy neighbors or other familymembers.

There are also electronic toysthat resemble pianos or guitarsand use colored lights to instructchildren to play melodies andlearn simple music theory. For older children (age 6 and up),instruments such as acousticguitars and keyboards canintroduce composition anddexterity, and allow childrento learn and master songs theyknow.

Books are always great gifts.Detective stories are usuallypopular with children, as arebooks about the way thingswork. Younger children lovebooks about animals and youngprotagonists having fancifuladventures. Books encourageusing imagination to explorethe possibilities of this world.For older children, classicnovels, popular new series, andNewberry Award winners are allexcellent choices.

Toys involving sportsphysical activities are alsochoices, since they dmotor movement skillscoordination, and encophysical tness. Thescan be as simple as arope, or more specializedbasketball, soccer ball, FHacky Sack, or Hula Hoop

I grew up playing mostly withLegos and G. I. Joes. Whilebuilding toys allowed for limitlesscreativity, war-related toys canglamorize killing and violence.My recommendation is to avoidwar toys and play weapons, asthey may lead to an appreciationfor aggression and dominance,

which can make social interactionmore di cult. Ultimately,choosing the right toys canencourage a childs personalgrowth and challenge them in afun way to learn new skills.

his article, I want to get back toroots that led me to create mye books about San Luis Obispontown history. I am in the middlewriting the Higuera Street book,have been pulling out artifacts

I have bought over the years. Onemy prized possessions is a simplechbook cover that answered ation I had for years. I have lived inLuis Obispo for over 30 years, andys wondered how Bulls Tavernhorro Street got its name. I came

with lots of ideas over the years,as maybe a bull got loose in townburst through the front door, or be tavern patrons were meetingshoot the bull. Then one day, Id my answer on the internet. Ia matchbook advertising the

dweiser Tavern at 1032 Chorroet, which had been the addressBulls in the past. Additionalrmation on the matchbookthe sale of MIXED DRINKS OF KINDS. But the answer to mytion was found in the name oftavern proprietor: Albert Bullnazzini. Albert later namedtavern after himself. Curiositydiscovery about these kinds ofesting tidbits of SLO downtownness history inspired me to writebooks.

of my favorite restaurants inn is Pepe Delgados on Montereyet. The food is good, the chipssalsa are great, and the serviceways outstanding. In the 1950s1960s, this building housed a

hborhood mom and pop storeed Monterey Market. The frontwas at the corner of the building,

t was recently moved to the front

of the restaurant. Many corner momand pop stores would have a door atthe corner of their building. After themarket closed, a business called LaCasa de Monterey was at the locationfor about 5 years before Pepesmoved into the building in 1971. My wife and I walked into Ross Dressfor Less the other day and we wentdownstairs, which always bringsback memories of this building beinga J.C. Penneys. When I was a kid, allJ. C. Penneys had a basement, andI loved going up and down thosestairs. Another cool fact is that thesecond oor of the building used tobe the Marshall Hotel from the 1930sto the 1960s. Im not sure where thehotel guests parked, but this was a

nice sized hotel right in the middleof downtown. You would check inby going through a door that was onthe end of the building. If you standoutside of the Ross store on HigueraStreet looking across the street, yousee The Gap, which is where thedowntown Sears building used to be.

Recently, I purchased several slidesand old 16 mm movies from a personwho bought them at an estate sale.The slides were from the 1968 LaFiesta Parade. The photographer stood on the corner of Higuera and

Morro Streets to take most of thepictures. Of course, the kids in theparade were cute, but my interest wasin the businesses in the background.A few of the pictures have a businesscalled Best Ever Grill in them. Oneof the pictures shows a parade oatgoing past the Best Ever Grill, andyou can see several kids sitting on topof the building watching the parade

go by with pedestrians below. Today.the business at this location is LouisasPlace. Many of us think of LouisasPlace as being here forever, but BestEver Grill was here for over 15 yearsuntil Louisas Place opened up around1980. This location has been a localfavorite for many years.

Another business that is in several ofthe slides is Nortons Eagle Pharmacywith a small shoe store at the endof the building. The shoe store wascalled Copelands Fine Shoes and wasowned by the same Copeland familythat has bought many propertiesin downtown. Today, this locationis occupied by Victorias Secret.Nortons Pharmacy was at thislocation for over 40 years, servingthe community from the 1930s intothe late 1970s. The pharmacy wasthe place to go to buy anything frommedicine to an ice cream bar. Manysmall towns depended on stores likethese, because there werent a lot ofdepartment stores during the 1930sand 1940s.

One of the most historic buildings indowntown is at 856 Higuera, whereFiore Boutique has been in businesssince 1999. This is where SandercockTransfer was located for over 30years. There are several photos ofthe Sandercock moving crew taking

goods to businesses downttheir assortment of wagonsby horse power. There is onthat I have seen used many tthe city in advertisements wSandercock standing in fronstore with two of his movingon either side of him.

Its fun to write an article abo

businesses used to be at dlocations. It is also fun to people who have lived in for a long time. I someta chance to talk with Jeanwho is a retired teacher iOur conversations can last fobecause she is full of great fstories about people from thThe new edition of the Higuebook will have many new picmore stories about the the pof our great county. Its greaback to my roots and remewhy I started writing the books. Its even more fun pasome interesting information
