April 2019

Everyone has some kind of stress in their lives and too much can affect one’s health and mental well-being . April 16th is Stress Awareness Day, a day designated to bring awareness to how stress can adversely affect one’s life and ways to help relieve the burden it can bring . Here are some ways to help lessen the affects it can have:• Exercise: It doesn’t have to be high-impact; walking or yoga is plenty to get stress hormones lowered, increase one’s confidence and help people sleep better . • Aromatherapy: Lighting a certain scent of candle or using specific essential oils can help reduce stress . Smells can evoke powerful emotions and the right ones can help a person feel calm, relaxed and serene .• Reduce Caffeine: Coffee is the drink of choice for many to kick-start their day, but cutting back can help reduce stress . Caffeine is found in other things such as chocolate and tea and is the main ingredient in energy drinks, so moderation of all is best at combating stress .• Write It Down/Talk to Someone: The simple act of writing about what is stressing someone out can take a load off and talking to someone who is willing to listen can do the same . Many people find these acts as a way of letting go of what is bothering them . • Say No: Being everything for everyone can put a person into a bad corner . It’s okay to tell a person, “no .” A person’s life is their own and having control over what they do and don’t do goes a long way in keeping their lives less stressful .• Don’t Procrastinate: It can be a habit to leave a lot of things until the last minute . The problem is that one thing can turn into five . It’s better to take care of things as they happen, rather than letting it all pile up and becoming overwhelmed .• Cuddle: Positive physical contact can be soothing and comforting, whether it be with another human or with a pet . This can help lower blood pressure and the heart rate as it releases oxytocin and lowers cortisol that aid in both .These are just a few ideas; there are plenty more out there and different things work for different people . The key is to find what works that will help relieve or reduce stress and make life better, happier and longer . The most important thing, however, is to seek professional help if nothing seems to work and everything gets to be too much . There is no shame is asking for help . There are others out there that understand and can be of great benefit . No one is ever alone .

Dyngus Day – What Exactly is it?Article Authors: AKA Group

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9Amigus-dyngus • https://clevelanddyngus.com/

Every year the Monday following Easter Sunday brings a celebration to some Central European cultures called, “Smingus-dyngus .” This Polish term translates to “Wet Monday,” while the Hungarians refer to this day as “Water Plunge Monday” and the Czechs and Slovakians refer to this day as “Watering .” Polish Americans have come to refer to this day as simply, “Dyngus Day,” which falls on April 22 this year . So, what exactly is this day all about and how is it celebrated in the United States?

The traditions that occur on this day involve girls being doused in water by boys and receiving spankings from them with pussy willows and then they in turn do the same to the boys . Verse declarations are made and

processions are done door-to-door, sometimes with the boys dressed in bear costumes . Written history dates this celebration back to the 15th century and, while the traditions have been maintained in Central Europe, Polish Americans have added patriotic American traditions to this annual event .

Celebrations in the United States occur annually in New York, Indiana, Ohio and California . In New York, there are two notable places that Dyngus Day is celebrated . In Macedon, festivals are held and revelers wear bright green colors . In Buffalo, Dyngus Day celebrations began in the 1960s as a way for Polish-Americans to return to their roots and these celebrations are the largest in the country today . It was during these celebrations that the phrase, “Everyone’s Polish on Dyngus Day,” was coined and it was here that Polish and American traditions were combined to make the traditions that are celebrated today . They include performances by polka bands, a parade, the consumption of Polish food and krupnik (a sweet liqueur-like alcoholic drink), singing American patriotic songs in English and dressing the colors of the Polish flag, white and red, while holding balloons that say, in English, “Happy Dyngus Day .”

Dyngus Day in Cleveland, Ohio, has become a huge event . They have coined their event, now in its 9th year as, “the fastest growing polka party in the world,” and define it as a day that celebrates the end of Lent and Easter . The polka party has gotten big enough to shut down whole streets and fill a town square, encompassing several neighborhoods, to provide space for the festivities . These include crowning a Miss Dyngus, having live polka entertainment, vendors and, of course, lots of food and drink . It has grown every year, with an estimated 45,000 attendees in 2018 .

Festivities in Indiana span from yearly traditions that have spanned decades to a recently spawned smaller celebration that is likely to grow, as others have, in the coming years . In South Bend and other parts of the region, Dyngus Day has become the starting day of the year’s political campaigns . This practice dates at least as far back as Robert F . Kennedy visiting the region on his campaign trail and marks campaigns down to the local level such as the fraternal clubs and firefighter’s association . In Lafayette, the tradition of celebrating Dyngus Day began in 2017, when a small group of people celebrated in a friend’s home, sharing a variety of egg appetizers and Polish sausages .

On the west coast in Pasadena, California, Dyngus Day is celebrated by the Blacker House on the campus of The California Institute of Technology . These events encompass the more traditional events of “Wet Monday” in the form of servers “dumping” customers who are “out of order .” This is something that the servers are known for doing on a normal day, but for Dyngus Day, the “dumping” is focused on the opposite genders who then receive a “light slap” from twigs that come from a tree in the courtyard .

...continued on page 11

A Senior then reads a Dyngus Day-themed poem as a representation of the traditional verse declarations .

The United States is a melting pot of cultures from all over the world that have brought their traditions to be celebrated and shared with their fellow Americans . Throughout the years, these traditions have been adapted and evolved, or have faded only to have a resurgence . Dyngus Day is a perfect example and, like traditions form other cultures, can be a celebration that brings neighbors and communities together . Of course, the celebrations noted here are just a few that occur, as even more happen all throughout the country . So, on the day after Easter, “Wet Monday,” enjoy a Polish Sausage, wish your neighbor a Happy Dyngus Day, and, if you know someone who would be agreeable, grab some water and fulfill the day’s wetter tradition .

The Library – A True Community Resource

It’s Not Just About Books AnymoreArticle Authors: AKA Group

Source: www.sdcl.org/index.html • https://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/locations

Libraries are such an important resource; they do more than just the lend books and provide a place to do hands-on book research . They are have truly become community centers offering access to so many things to their local citizens that might otherwise find inaccessible . They are a place to access the latest technologies, borrow movies, get help with careers and homework, for groups to gather for meetings and cool spots for those in need to get out of the heat on those pesky hot summer days . The month of April hosts National Library Week and celebrates both school and public librarians and this is a good time to see how libraries aren’t just about books anymore .

The foundation of libraries is still their stacks . Patrons today can find the latest best-sellers and popular novels and magazines, both adult and young-adult, and the children’s sections have only grown . A lot of libraries also offer special collections geared toward certain subjects, genres or languages and hold archives for local historical collections of books, documents and artifacts . One can either check out their chosen titles or sit and read them in comfortable indoor and outdoor areas available all throughout the library . To help find their desired titles, they can look them up on the nearest computers and even reserve and check books out via the computer terminal . More recently, libraries have begun lending ebooks and emagazines for ereaders and tablets .

Keeping up with today’s technologies, libraries are a place where those within the community can access computers to not just browse the library systems’ collections and check out books, but to also use them to work on homework, resumes and other projects . These computers allow access to the internet and Wi-Fi is free-of-charge for those who wish to use their own technologies . Even more, however, libraries offer opportunities and access to hardware and software, still free-of-charge, to those who would otherwise not have access . All of the County of San Diego library branches offer computers and free Wi-Fi and access to 3-D printers while the Central Library in the

San Diego City library system in Downtown San Diego has an “Innovation Lab” where patrons can reserve time to use 3-D printers and scanners, vinyl cutters, CNC machines, sewing machines and a myriad of design software including web development, graphic design, photo editing and computer programming . To take advantage of any of these opportunities, contact the appropriate branches for information and/or to schedule an appointment as time to use these amenities must be reserved (please see article sources to get started) .

Local library and school library branches are important to their communities for more basic functions; human interaction . They offer a quiet and safe place to read, do homework, learn a new craft or game and meet a community group . The most important resource in the library are the librarians and their staff that oversee libraries . They can guide patrons to where they need to go when they are looking for the latest titles, want to reserve a book, movie, room or time on equipment or need help researching something . Some libraries offer places for local groups to meet and even more offer classes or resource centers to help with careers, taxes and homework .

Libraries offer spaces to display local student projects and when the temperature gets too hot, libraries become safe cool spots for the elderly or those with special needs who do not have access to air conditioning or cooler places . Many libraries also offer opportunities to meet authors who will come in and read from their latest works, discuss their chosen subject matters and meet their fans .

Libraries have been around since ancient times (Library of Alexandria) and have always provided a place to store knowledge, ideas, technology and allowed the public to access their contents . They are known as places that help people enrich their knowledge of the written word, the world at large and help cultivate their imaginations . Throughout time, they have adapted with the world to include the latest technologies and methods of storing and disseminating knowledge and offering their patrons access to all of these things for free . Even more, they’ve become

places where people can interact with others to learn a new hobby, join a group, play a game and get help with homework, finding jobs and so many other things . Check in with your local library to see everything they have to offer . You can view their amenities and events schedules on their websites . You might find something you’ve been looking for, or even better, something you didn’t know you were looking for .

(East County Library Branches and those closest to East Country are in the County of San Diego Library System and are located in Alpine, El Cajon, Lakeside, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Rancho San Diego, Santee and Spring Valley .)
