People living with ongoing health issues experience challenges beyond dealing with their disease.  They may worry about their future, feel frustrated they’re unable to do the things they use to do, or experience other difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, pain or fatigue.  The Living Well for Better Health workshop can help these people take control of their health, and continue to do the things they want to do throughout their life. 

People with a variety of health issues participate in a series of discussions and activities, learning a number of tools to better deal with their health condition and the emotions and limitations that go along with it.  The Cohen Center is holding a Living Well for Better Health workshop series on Wednesday afternoons from 12:30-3:00 beginning May 4^th and ending June 8^th.   Call 626-7777 to register.

Searsport District High School, Penobscot Marine Museum Collaborate on "Alternate Path" to Academic Success

A new boatbuilding program is being used to teach physical science to a small group of high school students, thanks to collaboration between Searsport District High School and Penobscot Marine Museum. Even as they learn how to sharpen chisels, mix epoxy and run a bandsaw, seven sophomores, juniors and seniors are studying concepts such as vectors, drag and torque, with the help of a professional boatbuilder and educators from the school and the museum.

"If it goes in the snow, it belongs at this show!"
