area for spectators.

Summer is Good Time to Give Your Car a New Look!
Even though it was a mild winter, your car may have sustained some
rust damage from winter road salt and chemicals. Now is the time to
think about having those rust spots repaired or giving “old Betsy” a
new paint job. Bernie’s Garage and Body Shop trained technicians can
professionally match virtually any paint color and have your car
looking like new for the summer.
Also
new at Bernie’s, “Bring your Own Parts” and Bernie’s will install
them. A major shift in the auto repair industry over the past few
years, has been the growth of auto parts stores. Many customers
prefer to purchase their own parts and bring them to the repair shop.
Bernie’s has responded to their customer needs, but some restrictions
do apply.

family. Wiseman and Murphy have created a program to help chamber
members consider many of these important family planning issues.

A Decade of
Newsweek
Covers...How the Media Influences the Market...
Since magazine editors are constantly hunting the most significant
issue in the collective conscious of the culture, a careful observer
can also use it as a forecasting tool. A magazine’s only going to
reserve its cover space for the biggest buzz in the nation. By the
time a market trend or a social mood is worthy of a front cover, those
trends and feelings have become so extreme they’re usually on the
verge of peaking.
So
whenever you see a magazine like
Newsweek
either bemoaning the state of the market or ecstatic about its
success, be on the lookout for a
swing
the other way. For the past 30 years, nearly every major turn in the
Dow was immediately preceded by a major news-magazine hailing the
“current” trend.
Skip
Whitworth, Regional Vice President of Van Campen Investments will be
the Chamber’s June Luncheon speaker and will be looking at how the
covers of major news magazines can be used as a forecasting tool.
The
luncheon will be held on Tuesday, June 20, 2006, at the
Clintonville Woman’s Club. Doors open at 11:15. Reservations are
required. Make your reservations by calling the chamber office
at 262-2790 or email, jnini@clintonvillechamber.com.

Expand
Your World, by Judy Fasone, RN and
Certified Trager Practioner
The
universe is expanding, and so are we! Or if not, why not? A symptom
of a lack of expansion in your life may be pain or tension in the
body/mind. A natural state of health is to follow the movement or
principles of the universe. Better known as "Natural Law" , these
simple ideas are rules to live by. Here are a few off the top of my
head:
Honor diversity:
A lack of diversity allows the predator/prey system to become
unbalanced. For example, when reforestation occurs after a clear cut,
pine trees in massive acreage are planted. No diversity there. Soon
the Japanese beetle (the ladybug that is orange instead of red) is
everywhere, at an out of control reproduction rate that takes
chemicals to battle.
Community:
No one is an island. Being a part of a community makes life a lot
easier! We do not live this life alone, so why not choose or create
the type of community you want to be a part of?
Expansion:
I no longer think of the universe singly, because scientists have
discovered many! So now whenever possible, I say MULTIVERSE, to
reflect on the expansion of the universes…for example, a seed is
planted, and turns into a flower or tree! This is expansion. An idea
is created and it becomes a building! A baby is conceived and soon
becomes an adult! Let us support our own expansion, not work against
it.
There are many other natural laws I could mention here, and for today
my point is really to draw your attention to the expansion of the self
through the transformative approaches.
I
realized during a session today, that all human beings express “the
self” emotionally just as far as it can physically, and vice versa.
Milton Trager said " I am convinced for every physical non-yielding
condition there is a psychic counterpart in the unconscious mind,
corresponding exactly to the degree of the physical manifestation." I
know this to be true as well.
