He will be able to connect with a dedicated and skilled staff, as well as with other youth who will understand what he is experiencing. Outright Vermont (outrightvt.org) is located in Burlington.

Delivered 63 years late Courtesy photo Oroville High School students traveled in late September to Lassen Volcanic National Park for a camping trip and science expedition, made possible through a grant from Lassen Park Foundation. The group camped for four days at Butte Lake in Lassen Park, studied stars and supernovas and learned tent set-up strategies. Chemistry teacher Shane Johnston accompanied 15 teen Science Ambassador students on the trip. ���The kids took what they learned at the park and built a teaching, hands-on activity to do with elementary school kid,��� Johnston said. The trip also provided a few students with something unexpected, a career choice. In addition to experiencing the park���s outdoor classroom, team building activities and Leave No Trace curriculum, the students had the chance to give back to their community. They brought the camping experiences to local elementary school children in the Oroville area and taught the younger students about density, chemical reactions and Hoyt-Cole Chapel of the Flowers Funerals ��� Cremations ��� Prearrangements space. One of the lessons involved stars and supernovas and had the students paint supernovas. Johnston said the painting exercise can inspire students to think about each layer of the stars and what the different colors mean. Three of the Science Ambassadors now want to become teachers, after teaching the younger students. ���We���re seeing a lot of benefits from this program,��� Johnston said. Lassen Park Foundation provides grants to Northern California schools and youth organizations for camping trips to Lassen Volcanic National Park. By supporting outdoor learning and environmental education for challenged youth, the foundation hopes to create future stewards of Lassen, as well as change lives.

(AP) ��� A northeastern Pennsylvania newspaper has just received a calendar to help ring in the new year ��� except the year is 1950. Scranton���s The Times-Tribune reports a mail carrier delivered it 63 years late without explanation on Friday. The large tube contained a 1950 Pennsylvania Railroad calendar addressed to James Flanagan, former general manager of The Scranton Times. The calendar includes a holiday greeting from a railroad executive dated December 1949. Flanagan died that month. A U.S. Postal Service spokesman says lost mail is sometimes found when a machine is dismantled or office space is renovated. Times-Tribune publisher Bobby Lynett says he���ll see if the Steamtown National Historic Site railroad museum is interested in the calendar. If not, he���ll display it in the newspaper���s offices.
