The College of Wooster\, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation\, Wooster Community Hospital\, and Dunlap Hospital will join forces again this year to sponsor the third annual Wellness Lecture Series. The four-part series was established to draw attention to the importance of well-being and health. The sessions\, which are free and open to the public\, will be held in McGaw Chapel (340 E. University St.) beginning at 7 p.m. A reception in Freedlander Theatre will follow each presentation.
\\"All four speakers have a national reputation\,\\" said Dan Dean of The College of Wooster's Wellness Center. \\"We are very fortunate to have people of this caliber on campus to talk about health issues that affect such a wide range of people. I think that those who attend the lectures will come away with a better idea of how to take care of themselves and their family.\\"
The series opens on Wednesday\, Jan. 20\, when Michael F. Roizen\, M.D.\, presents \\"Why the Cleveland Clinic Wellness Program is Good For You.\\" Roizen has founded six companies and co-invented a drug approved by the FDA. He also co-wrote a medical bestseller and four No. 1 New York Times bestsellers. He still practices anesthesiology and internal medicine at the Cleveland Clinic\, and uses his RealAge metric to motivate his patients. Widely known for his appearances on \\"The Oprah Winfrey Show\,\\" \\"Today\,\\" \\"20/20\\" and \\"Good Morning America\,\\" Roizen has produced several PBS fundraising specials\, including \\"The RealAge Makeover\\" and \\"You\: On A Diet.\\"
The second lecture will feature Stephen Post addressing \\"It's Good to be Good\: Happiness\, Health\, and Giving\\" on Thursday\, Jan. 28. A professor of preventive medicine and director of the Center for Medical Humanities\, Compassionate Care\, and Bioethics at Stony Brook University\, Post has written seven scholarly books on such issues as altruism\, compassionate care\, and love. He also is the editor of nine other books\, including Altruism &\; Health\: Perspectives from Empirical Research\, and Altruism and Altruistic Love\: Science\, Philosophy and Religion in Dialogue. Committed to conveying important ideas in the wider culture\, Post has appeared on a number of television programs\, including \\"Nightline\\" and \\"20/20.\\"
The third lecture will be delivered by Deborah Madison\, founding chef of San Francisco's Greens restaurant and the author of 10 cookbooks. She will present \\"Cultivating Food Literacy for Our Pleasure\, Well Being\, and the Good of the Environment\\" on Tuesday\, Feb. 2. Her publications include Local Flavors\, Cooking and Eating from Americas Farmers' Markets\, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone\, and What We Eat When We Eat Alone.

Boundaries can be viewed as obstacles or opportunities. It all depends on one's point of view. In some cases\, boundaries define territory\; in others they invite dialogue. The College of Wooster's 2010 Spring Academy of Religion will explore both options when it presents \\"Border Crossings\: Good Fences do not Make Good Neighbors.\\" The four-week lecture series is free and open to the public. Each of the sessions will be held in Lean Lecture Room of Wishart Hall (303 E. University St.)\, with the exception of the third lecture on Feb. 18\, which will be held in Gault Recital Hall of Scheide Music Center (525 E. University St.). All sessions begin at 7\:30 p.m.
\\"The world's religious traditions have long declared\, but too seldom practiced\, the need to breakdown barriers and borders\,\\" said Charles Kammer\, The James F. Lincoln Professor of Religious Studies at The College of Wooster and academic dean of the Spring Academy of Religion. \\"Certainly one could argue that the human\, perhaps the global\, future depends on our ability to render boundaries and borders into sites of creativity rather than danger. We are called to see the 'other' as a gift\, a resource that brings richness to our lives\, not as one who is a threat to our existence. Cultivating such attitudes\, however\, and creating the structures to allow for border crossings\, is hard\, sometimes dangerous work.\\"
The four speakers will explore a range of boundaries\, particularly those that exist between religions\, nationalities\, ethnicities\, gender\, and class. \\"Our speakers\, using their experience\, research\, and wisdom\, will help us to negotiate border crossings with the hope that we can become part of a movement that has the courage\, the knowledge\, and the commitment to aid in the destruction of walls and barriers so that a more just\, compassionate\, and inclusive future can be built\,\\" said Kammer.
The series begins Feb. 4 with the Reverend Dr. John Fife\, presenting \\"Crossing the Line\: Faith\, Ethics\, and Law on the Border.\\" Fife is Pastor Emeritus of Southside Presbyterian Church in Tucson. He also is co-founder of the Sanctuary Movement and was moderator of the 204th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
The second session\, which will be held Feb. 11\, features Dr. K. Christine Pae presenting \\"Western Princesses in the Borderlands\: Searching for Transnational Solidarity Countering Globalized Militarism.\\" Pae is an assistant professor of ethics/Christian Ethics in the Department of Religion at Denison University.
At the third session on Feb. 18\, Dr. Eboo Patel\, executive director of the Interfaith Youth Corps in Chicago\, will present \\"Acts of Faith\: Interfaith Leadership at the Crossroads of Inheritance and Discovery. Patel was recently named to President Obama's Advisory Council of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The final session will be held on Feb. 25 with Professor Kammer presenting \\"Something There is That Doesn't Love a Wall.\\"

Futuring the Dairy Farm Business\:
In\, Out\, Moving Ahead
Wednesday\, February 17\, 2010
Shisler Center\, OARDC\, Wooster
2009 was a pitiful and challenging year
for the dairy business. This economic
disaster has both short and long term
implications for our dairy businesses.
Good farms could easily have added at
least $1000 of debt per cow last year
simply for the privilege of milking
cows…not to increase efficiency or prof-
itability! Others\, who have had particular diffi-
culty\, face the dilemma of continuing
their dairy farms. Being able to accu-
rately evaluate the current situation
and alternatives knowing the implica-
tions of a partial or full dispersal on
their financial situation is critical.
You will go home with tools and the
ability to evaluate your farm’s historic
production costs and project future
costs. Resource materials include cost
of production worksheets\, the “15
Measures of Dairy Farm Competitive-
ness” bulletin and proceedings from all breakout sessions.

— ORIGINAL DATE CANCELLED DUE TO SNOW STORM —
The Wayne Center for the Arts Has rescheduled open auditions for its Storytime Family Theatre production of Twain’s Tales for Saturday\, February 13\, from 10\:00AM-12\:00AM. The auditions were rescheduled due to the closing of the Wayne Center because of the snow storm on February 6th. No preparation is necessary\, but please plan on staying the entire time. Rehearsals will be on Saturdays from 10\:00-12\:30\, February 20-March 20\, with Dress Rehearsals on March 23 and 25. Performances are at 7\:00PM on Friday\, March 26\, and 2\:00 PM on Saturday March 27.
Twain’s Tales is a collection of five short stories by the master American storyteller-Samuel Clemens\, also known as Mark Twain. The stories are “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County\,” “Science v. Luck\,” “The Joke That Made Ed’s Fortune\,” “The Belated Russian Passport” and “Is He Living or Is He Dead?” – as well as the fence-painting chapter from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The play takes place on the front porch of a general store in Hannibal\, Missouri in the late 1800s. The locals – the storekeeper and his wife\, a printer\, a reporter and a riverboat pilot – spend the morning entertaining each other by seeing who can spin the tallest tale. This play is full of wit\, humor\, great stories\, and interesting characters. I don’t know who will be more entertained – you as actors\, or the audience.
This play has a large\, flexible cast. Everyone ages 10 to adult who auditions will be assigned a role. Children under the age of 10 may be accepted based on audition and at the discretion of the directors. There is a production fee ( $50 for Wayne Center Members\, $70 for Non-members) to help with the costs of scripts\, costumes\, props\, and sets. Full and partial financial aid may be available for those who qualify.
For more information\, call 330-264-ARTS (2787). Wayne Center for the Arts is a non-profit arts organization established in 1973. Its mission is to strengthen the community by enriching people’s lives through the arts. The organization is located in the old Walnut Street School in downtown Wooster. The Arts Center is funded in part by private support from patrons\, foundations and businesses in addition to public funding by the Ohio Arts Council.
