The Fort Plain Free Library offers area residents the opportunity to participate in the Central Asia Institute’s worldwide Pennies for Peace campaign running through the end of March, 2010.
Pennies for Peace helps well-known author Greg Mortenson promote peace through education by building schools and libraries, most of them for girls, in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The program began in 1994 in Wisconsin at which time students collected 62,340 pennies to help Mortenson, author of “Three Cups of Tea” and “Stones Into Schools”, build his very first school in Pakistan.
How can a penny bring peace? It doesn’t buy much in Fort Plain. But in the villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan, it can buy a pencil, start an education, and transform a life. In a region where terrorist organizations recruit uneducated, illiterate children, that penny can help to empower a child to read, write, learn, and think for himself. The pennies that are collected can add up to make a real difference.
1 penny = a pencil
2-3 pennies = an eraser
15 pennies = one notebook
$20 = one child’s school supplies for one year
$50 = one treadle sewing machine and supplies
$100 = maternal healthcare supplies for one year
$300 = one advanced student’s annual scholarship
$600 = one teacher’s annual salary
$5,000 = support for existing school for one year
$50,000 = one school building and support for up to five years.

Do you suspect pasta, bread, and crackers are making you sick? The culprit may be the gluten, a combination of two protiens found in certain grains. Avoiding grains is challenging, but the only treatment may be the complete removal of gluten from your diet.
The Cornell University Cooperative Extension of Fulton and Montgomery Counties would like to help.
On Tuesday, March 16th (snowdate – March 18th) from 6-7:30 pm, they will have a class on Gluten-Free cooking. Learn how to prepare dishes that are gluten free for your family members or guests. Continue reading Gluten Free Cooking
