In Waterloo, Nebraska barbers are forbidden from eating onions between 7am and 7pm (Is garlic is okay?).
Rather than using Bioré strips to remove oil and blackheads, use Elmer’s Glue-All. Let the glue dry, then gently peel it off, ex-foliating a thin layer of skin.
Ponderisms: Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

USHER AND CONCESSION HELP NEEDED
FOR GODSPELLAs show time approaches, we’re still in need of more volunteers (big surprise there). We need ushers to take tickets at the door, hand out programs and assist patrons as needed with seating. At the Fri-day matinee we may also need assistance getting the school groups from their busses into their assigned seating sections. Other seating is by general admission, so you don’t have to worry about finding specific seat locations.
Dress code for ushers is white shirt with black slacks or jeans. No t-shirts, please.
Concessions will be sold during the weekend performances and some weekday shows. Extra hands will be needed there as well.
Paul Braun is heading up the concessions crew and has the complete schedule. Please email [email protected] for more info.
Angela Martin is the House Manager and will be organizing ushers. Contact Angela at [email protected] if you can help.
GODSPELL performances are:April 24, 25 and 26 at 8:00pmApril 27 at 11am and 8:00pmApril 28 at 2:00pm and 8:00pmApril 29 at 2:00pm
Many of us remember Eve Whittenburg as a “frequent flyer” in SSC produc-tions before she and her family moved to Itasca. Now sheʼs flying through the air with the greatest of ease in the Triton Troupers Circus. Both Eve and her 12 year old daughter Katarina performed in the annual event at Triton College in River Grove. Eve says sheʼs just trying to live up to the “Dick Clark Forever Young” title awarded her by the PAC Rats. At 49, Evangelina is back to hang-ing on the static trapeze, a skill origi-nally learned in her teens. Katarina is following in her momʼs footsteps with a trampoline and globe act. Who says you canʼt run away and join the circus?
BEHIND THE EMERALD CURTAIN, an exclusive one-of-a-kind look at WICKED, is now offered every Tuesday evening at 5:00 PM. Cast members from the Chicago production of WICKED will take you on a magical journey behind the scenes of Chicago’s hit musical phenomenon.
Participants will get a sneakified peek at the blockbuster musical, see actual props, masks and Tony Award-winning costumes and sets. The tour also includes a question-and-answer portion with current cast members.
Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Come to the next PAC Rat meeting and help choose a date for this tour. We’re so there!

A Blast from the Past: Meeting the Wild I-TRALIAN
submitted by Patricia Porrey, photo processing trainer for Kodak
I was training at a new Jewel/Osco down in Bourbonnais, IL and had to attend their Grand Opening. There is a lot of hoopla and fun during these events. As I was assisting customers and trainees, a man walked up to me from one of the events and asked me
if he would be able to use the phone.
At first glance his face was not familiar to me, but that VOICE! OH MY GOSH, I was
in the midst of a Chicago Legend! Do you recognize him? By the way, the girl in the picture is me.
If you did not guess, it was Dick Biondi! And if you donʼt know who that is, he is the DJ we grew up with as kids, listening on our transistors, most of the time with the ear phone in and the radio tucked under our pillows at night. As I introduced him to all my trainees, I used the old tattered line “This is Dick Biondi, I slept with him when I was a teen.” They all thought I was totally nuts, but I got the laugh I was looking for. He was so gracious and we talked about Roseland and old times and it was so fun. I totally enjoyed all the ʻold fart ̓customers like me, reliving memories with him and what was more fun, watching the younger gen just not getting it!
Sometimes, the most fun times comes so unexpectedly.

Is a little variety too much to ask?
Thanks to research, the spotlight has been shifting to a new generation of health-boosting foods. Here are 6 with amazing benefits.
1. POMEGRANATE: With more anti-oxidants than green tea, not only may it prevent skin cancer and kill breast and prostate cancer cells, it also fights Alzheimerʼs disease and guards your arteries from bad cholesterol.2. KIWIFRUIT: Kiwi are bursting with antioxidants and loaded with fiber and vision-saving lutein and can sig-nificantly reduce the potential for blood clots and lower triglycerides.3. BARLEY: When processed, barley doesnʼt lose itʼs fiber content so this is helpful to knock down bad cholesterol, plus it decreases blood sugar and insu-lin levels.4. CRANBERRY: There is not a woman alive who doesnʼt know of the benefits of drinking cranberry juice to help cure urinary tract infections, but did you know that cranberries also pre-vents gum disease, eradicates E.coli and helps to prevent strokes?5. BROCCOLI SPROUTS: Sprouts are even better than broccoli with 20 times the disease fighting sulforaphane glucosinolate as their elders which helps kill tumors, protects your heart and can save your sight from UV dam-age.6. KEFIR: This is a cultured milk product that looks and tastes much like plain yogurt, only thinner, but is packed with almost twice the beneficial bacteria. Kefir will help reduce food allergies, help battle breast cancer and it avoids triggering lactose intolerance.

As you move through your busy day, try to remember the simple things in life. For instance, when someone annoys you, it takes forty-two muscles to frown, but only four to reach out and smack the little pissant upside the head.
“Don’t Tread on Me”Our country’s famous “Don’t Tread on Me” flag has represented the strength of our nation since it was first flown in 1776 during the Revolutionary War. The origin of the slogan pertains to the snake’s deadly strike and the snake itself is said to be coiled is such a way as to represent the American Colonies with the tail being Florida.
I BELIEVE – that just because two people argue, it doesnʼt mean they donʼt love each other. And just because they donʼt argue, doesnʼt mean they do.

Submitted by Jim Walters for all you “Blues” aficionados
Known as The Godfather of Elec-tric Blues, Muddy Waters was fore-most of the post-war artists who brought
the music of the rural Mississippi Delta to Chicagoʼs nightclubs.
His song “Rollin ̓Stone” was taken as the name of both the British rock band (one of many he influenced) and the magazine; a stretch of 43rd street is known as Muddy Waters Drive. Winner of 8 Grammy Awards; inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
Muddy Waters was born McKinley Morganfield in Issaquena County, Mis-sissippi by his maternal grandmother on Stovall Plantation near Clarksdale, where he was recorded by folklorist Alan Lomax.
He came to Chicagoʼs South Side in 1943 but settled in the western suburb of Westmont where he met and mar-ried his second wife. Rock legend Eric Clapton served as his best man. The reception was held at Waterʼs Westmont home, and he and Clapton held a jam session in the garage during the reception.
The main street of downtown West-mont – Cass Avenue – is designated Muddy Waters Way, and one-of-a-kind artifacts such as his suits, rare photos and his Grammy, are on permanent dis-play in the Westmont Centre. Westmont has a Muddy Waters Park and his son played for the high school there.
When he came to Chicago, he recorded for Chess Records and subsidiaries for
a quarter of a century.
Muddy Waters died on April 30, 1983 and is
buried in Restvale Cem-etery in Alsip, Illinois.

According to scientific studies, a rat’s performance in a maze can be improved by playing music written by Mozart. Wonder if that applies to PAC Rats, too?
