Fairfax's drinking water comes from the Johnson River. The watershed begins on the slopes of Mount Eagle and flows nearly eighty-five miles from the river's headwaters. Naturally occurring fluoride in the Johnson River is less than 0.5 ppm (parts per million), which is the detection limit for analyzing fluoride. The water is made safe to drink through conventional treatment methods and consistent monitoring.

You may think of hunger as a problem that exists elsewhere, but nearly fifty million people in the United States are affected by food insecurity. That's almost fifty million people who sometimes have to make trade-offs between having enough to eat and meeting other basic needs. Although many don't realize it, hunger affects urban, suburban, and rural communities. Joining together, we can take steps to end hunger—not just worldwide, but right next door.

Although Paul Revere gained lasting fame for his midnight ride warning colonists about an impending British attack, many people aren't aware of a similar ride taken by a sixteen-year-old girl. Sybil Ludington, born in Connecticut in 1761, completed her own perilous night ride in advance of British forces. In 1777, British loyalists and troops attacked Danbury, Connecticut. In desperation, a messenger asked Ludington to ride through the night and alert the local regiment. All told, Ludington rode forty miles—significantly farther than Paul Revere had—and managed to gather nearly the entire regiment to fight the British. Following the Danbury battle, George Washington himself traveled to the Ludington home to thank Sybil for her bravery. Ludington's ride never became as famous as Paul Revere's. However, if you visit New York, you can find historical markers tracing her route through Putnam County.

Blueberry Muffins Preheat oven to 400°F and line a muffin pan with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, beat four eggs; slowly add two cups white sugar. Continue to beat. Add one cup vegetable oil and one teaspoon vanilla extract. In a separate mixing bowl, combine four cups all-purpose white flour, one teaspoon salt, and one teaspoon baking soda. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Do not overmix. Gently fold in two cups sour cream and two cups fresh blueberries. Spoon batter into muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Coasters and trivets are easy to create, and they make great gifts. All you need for this simple DIY project are pieces of cork, a template, a mat cutter, a pen, scissors, and a flat work surface. Start by choosing a template shape, such as a star. Trace the template onto the cork. Cut out the shape with the mat cutter. Voilà! You have a cork star that can be used as a coaster or a trivet.

Hubert Rochereau's childhood bedroom is a kind of time capsule of 1918, the year he died. He was just twenty-one years old at the time. During World War I, Rochereau was a French soldier who was deployed to the battlefield in Belgium. After his death, Rochereau's parents requested that his bedroom remain untouched for the next five hundred years. To this day, the room is filled with Rochereau's personal belongings, such as schoolbooks, his childhood bed, and his knife. The current owner of the house—though not a relative of the Rochereau family—has kept the room frozen in time. He says that, although he feels little connection with the young soldier, "It's part of the history of the house, so I keep it."

A four-alarm fire caused severe damage to multiple historic buildings downtown early Thursday morning before being extinguished. More than fifty firefighters from the Springfield Fire Department responded to the blaze around 4 A.M. The fire was largely controlled by 5:30 A.M., but crews continued to survey the area for hot spots. No injuries have been reported, but the extent of the damage is still unclear. The fire's cause has not been determined.

Genes and Behavior In the 1940s, behavioral psychologist Robert Tryon conducted an experiment in which rats were placed in a complex maze that had a food reward at one exit. Rats that made fewer errors navigating the maze were bred together to create a "maze-bright colony." Rats that made more errors were bred together to create a "maze-dull colony." After selectively breeding the mice for seven generations, Tryon tested offspring from each colony to determine how quickly those rats would learn the maze. Offspring of the maze-bright rats consistently made fewer errors than the maze-dull offspring. Tyron's research therefore suggests that the ability to navigate the maze successfully was influenced by genes passed from parent to offspring.

Based on the data gathered, we measured the boiling point of water as 99.51 degrees Celsius. The error against the expected measurement was 0.49 percent. Sources of error may have been impurities in the water, contamination of the equipment, or human error in reading the thermometer. If we repeated the experiment, we might achieve more accurate results by sterilizing our equipment, using distilled water, and verifying that the thermometer's readings are correct.

Gravity and drag both reduce the maximum altitude that a rocket can reach, increasing the cost of rocket flights. This study hypothesizes that rockets with a smoother surface will experience less drag and reach higher altitudes, given the same thrust as rockets with rough surfaces. To test this hypothesis, three identical model rockets were constructed and given finishes with varying degrees of surface smoothness: roughed with 40-grit sandpaper, unfinished, and glossed. Each rocket was outfitted with B5-4 motors and flown ten times. Flight results support the initial hypothesis, with the roughened-surface rocket reaching the apogee point at the lowest altitude and the glossed-surface rocket reaching it at the highest. In conclusion, the findings suggest that smoother surface finishes can reduce the drag force enough to affect altitude, thereby potentially increasing rocket efficiency and reducing fuel costs.

I was dismayed on Friday when the Hillsdale City Council announced its intent to reduce library hours at all branches in an effort to cut costs. This reduction in services will negatively impact students in our community. I have worked at the downtown branch for more than a decade, and I've seen just how important the library is. Every day, dozens of students come to the library after school to do homework. For many students, there are no other safe, supervised spaces available during the afternoons. To protect this space, contact your city council representatives and speak out against reducing library hours!

As a parent, I'm concerned that students are buying soda in the school cafeteria every day, which affects their ability to learn. Too much sugar and caffeine makes it challenging for our students to concentrate. In addition, soda consumption can contribute to long-term health problems such as obesity and diabetes. I am not suggesting that Ashland's public schools should dictate what students eat and drink, but I do believe our schools should promote and foster healthy lifestyles, including proper nutrition. Students should be allowed to bring their own soda from home, but offering soda in our cafeterias is unacceptable.

Johannes Gutenberg was born in Mainz, Germany, in 1398. Today he is known as the inventor of the modern printing press. When he was young, books weren't like they are today. Most books were actually manuscripts, or texts written by hand. Manuscripts took a long time to make and were expensive. Only rich people could afford them. Gutenberg wanted more people to be able to enjoy reading. His printing press made it easier and cheaper to print books, so more people could own books.
