"Fred," this 2- year-old, male, neutered and vaccinated feline, is just one of the many cats and dogs awaiting adoption at Animal Samaritans, SPCA in Thousand Palms.

One area of the campus, which currently has a building on one side of it, will eventually be a quad area when a new Science building i is constructed. Half the area has trees native to Austrailia, and when students settle down on one of the large rocks to study or just relax a bit in that section, they can look across the way and see trees from China. Watling says he was happy to see some students using the area last semester. "When you see students sitting in the garden, that's success," said Watling adding that an addition and took the children back until voluntarily returning them to their grandmother.

However, Wright said she did not get that de facto parent status back when drugs took the family back into juvenile court. Instead, she said, a judge granted Sean extended visitation. Wright is appealing the decision. tional goal of the arboretum is to appeal to the community and "invite our neighbors in a little better." "We want everyone to come visit and then eventually take a class or two," said Watling. He said he hopes all the new trees will be labeled by next year, and his goal is for each to have a stone post so potential vandals can't destroy or steal them.

Of course, all of this will cost money. "We need to find a donor(s) who can help," said Watling who added though he doesn't know the cost.

The Joslyn Senior Center is a hub for trips of all kinds to nearby attractions that can be reached in a day's travel. Chartered bus excursions are very economical, and great fun into the bargain. The experience of going new places and seeing new things is often more enjoyable in a group easier, more convenient and safer than traveling alone. Bus trips are organized by the Joslyn Senior Center, or provided by various travel agencies with pickup at our door.

Every month a turnaround trip to Laughlin draws a capacity crowd. For a mere $10 per person, our group travels by motorcoach to Laughlin and enjoys a day in the casinos with a buffet lunch at the Golden Nugget. There is coffee and donuts on the way and coupons provided for gambling. Non-gamblers enjoy the ferry boats that ply the river, or just relax by the pool and swim. The bus leaves the senior center at 6:45 a.m.

and returns by 11:30 p.m. the same day. Millie's Laughlin Turnabout is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 28.

Call the reception desk at 340-3220 and reserve a seat well in advance. These popular trips fill up quickly. The Joslyn Senior Center will sponsor a special overnight trip to Jean, Nevada in October.

Alter extensive testing with amazing results, Lightning 828 is now available in the United States.

Scientists are amazed at Lightning 828's results on improved memory, attitude and athletic performance. In a double blind cross-over trial on university students in Italy, Lightning 828 was given twice daily for 12 weeks. The results were astonishing. Students obtained higher scores in math, logic and physical education. This new discovery has been a windfall for working and active people that seem to run short of energy around mid-afternoon and need a little extra lift.

Lightning 828 when taken in the morning gives a sustained, balanced form of energy throughout the day. During an interview in Chicago, a beautician stated, "I used to go home exhausted after being on my feet all day. Now it's just incredible. I go home with extra energy and really enjoy my family more." Lightning 828 is a necessary boost for students, professionals and senior citizens.
