the community, The Homemak-ers Health Services has currently raised more than $26,000 in do-nations and pledges through its Annual Phonathon Campaign, which will be used to provide vital home health and home sup-port services to adults through-out the community.

The monies were raised during the Agency’s annual No-vember Phonathon, which was held in conjunction with Na-tional Home Care Month. By the end of its fiscal year, the Agency

PORTSMOUTH – Open to all high school stu-

dents in Exeter and Portsmouth High School, New Heights’ trip to Channel Island National Park in California takes place during spring vacation beginning April 27. Activities will include the op-portunity for the group to camp, kayak with seals, hike 1,000 foot cliffs to discover a cove reach-able only by boat, and learn tidal patterns to explore caves by sea kayak. Located 19 miles off the coast of Ventura, CA, Channel

Islands have been termed the “Galapagos of North America” due to the unusual flora and fauna.

“Participants will then be able to visit that same cove in their kayaks and explore sea caves, including one 600 feet deep,” said Adventure Program Coordinator Sally Gregory, who said the trip is unique in several ways.

“Not only are all New

hopes to raise to raise a total of more than $30,000 from the Phonathon, according to Heidi Morrison, chief executive officer of The Homemakers.

“Although we have re-ceived more than $26,000 to date, if past experience holds true, we will continue to receive pledges throughout this year and into the new year,” said Morri-son.

The gifts received from the Annual Phonathon will be used to provide vital home health care and home support services to those who cannot afford the full cost, do not qualify for state or federal assistance or for which there is inadequate reimburse-ment for the services provided.

Last year, The Homemakers Health Services’ provided more than $370,000 in nonreimbursed health care services.

“On behalf of our organiza-tion and the people we serve, I’d like to thank all of the individu-als, organizations and business-es that have already made gifts to our Agency, as well as all of the volunteers who so generously gave of their time to help make this year’s Phonathon success-ful, said Morrison.

“Recuperating from a heart surgery, cancer, knee or hip re-placement, chronic respiratory problems, Alzheimer’s disease - none of these situations is easy,

Paula Rais, Vice President of Development and Community Engagement for the Children’s Museum of NH, stated that the program has been very well re-ceived. “Since we began this pro-gram more than four years ago, we have been averaging nearly 100 people at each monthly ses-sion,” she said. “Feedback from participants has been overwhelm-ingly positive. We are delighted to be able to provide a community setting where the whole family feels comfortable and has fun to-gether.”

of the School of the Worcester Art Museum and Granite State Col-lege and holds a masters degree in teaching from the University of New Hampshire. She spent her early career as a graphic designer and illustrator, with occasional forays as a photography assistant to her husband, professional pho-tographer Ron St. Jean. She made a career change to education sev-eral years ago and finds teaching to be challenging, rewarding, and creative. Some of her ab-stract works resemble landscapes. Others may appear to be close-up views of objects painted in several colors, weathered over time. "I hope they all can be enjoyed for their simple celebration of color," say St. Jean.

In contrast to St. Jean's ab-stract art will be the more realistic nature paintings of Amy Kindler. Kindler has been a fine artist, craftsman, and interior design-er since 1970. She received her B.F.A from Maryland Institute College of Art, and has taken ad-vanced art courses at UNH and the Arts Students League in New York City. Her artistic career has included working as a set design-er and scene painter, a toy sculp-tor and designer, and a 3-D Ani-mation Artist.

Kindler has skill in all paint mediums, most sculpture medi-ums, all drawing mediums on many surfaces, many printmak-ing mediums, and varied craft experience. Her subject matter ranges from murals, faux finish-ing, portrait, figure, landscape and animals, to still life, interiors, abstract and architecture.

Interested individuals should sign up for the program and begin to consider a story they’d like to develop during the workshops. Stories should be something that you have person-ally experienced, not a story about someone else, unless you were actually there when it happened.

Dear Computer Lady,I have searched and

searched for a driver for my Canon BJC-620 to use with Windows 7. Can you help me or will I have to print from my old computer which runs XP ? Thank you! Bonnie

Dear Bonnie,I did a quick search on

Cannon's website (www.usa.canon.com/) and found that BJC printers are compatible with earliest versions of Win-dows, but not compatible with Vista, or Windows 7. Unfortu-nately, that means there are no drivers in existence that will work with Windows 7. You will either have to print from your old XP computer, or get a newer printer. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,A friend is using www.

stardock.com/products/start8/. Per my friend, it makes the start screen look like Windows 7. They got Windows 8 and then immediately downloaded the

above. My question is since I have Windows 8.1 and have installed some programs and downloaded pictures to the computer, will this application/program make it so I have to re-install programs, printer, scan-ner, and will I lose my pictures? I previously used Windows Vista and unlike some others I liked it. I haven't used Windows 7. I read all your emails and am learning a lot. Thanks, Brenda

Dear Brenda,The only thing this pro-

gram will do, is add a start menu so that you can navigate the computer they way you used to in Windows 7. It will not delete pictures or programs that you have installed. Of course, just to be safe, you always want to have your data backed up, and your programs on disk just in case. You never know when some-thing as simple as installing a program or doing an update will corrupt your files, and result in data loss. There is also a free

start menu program called Clas-sic Shell at www.classicshell.net which works quite well. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I used to have an older

computer with XP. I now have a new one with Windows 8. Now when I get emails with IMGjpg if it's a report I am unable to read it. Adobe reader says it cannot open it because it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. My email is yahoo.com. Can you help me? Linda

Dear Linda,I'm guessing that you are

trying to open an image file in Adobe Acrobat reader, which is made to open .PDF files. Adobe document files end in .pdf Image files end in .jpg , .png, and .img just to name a few. What do you have on your computer for image programs? I would sug-gest that you go to www.irfan-view.com, download and install Irfanview and the add on pack-age, then see if you can open

your attachments. Elizabeth

Dear Computer Lady,I love reading your news-

letter. It ís so full of informa-tion. I would like to know how to shorten the URL for webpage links. I know there ís software to do this but not sure how it works and which one is the best one. Thanks for your useful newslet-ter. Teresa

Dear Teresa,It is actually very easy to

create a shortened URL and there are a few online services out there that will do it for you. First, copy the URL of the web page you want to link to. Next go to one of the online URL shortening services. I like to

DOVER – End 68 Hours of Hunger is

pleased to announce a recent do-nation of more than $16,500 from the Dover office of Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston, a Liberty Mutual Company.

End 68 Hours of Hunger is a private, not-for-profit effort to confront the approximately 68 hours of hunger that some school children experience between the free lunch they receive in school on Friday afternoon and the free breakfast they receive in school on

Monday morning.Liberty Life raised the

proceeds for End 68 Hours of Hunger at its 19th annual Larger Than Life with Mulligans of Golf Tournament, where participants rallied in support of the organi-zation. Through the purchase of raffle tickets, tournament partici-pants contributed close to $4,000. After additional donations were made following the tournament and Liberty Life’s match of all donations, the total reached over $16,500.

“This event is a highlight of my year as we support an im-portant local charity. Both Lib-erty Mutual Insurance and End 68 Hours of Hunger play integral roles in helping members of our New Hampshire community,” said Mark McVeigh, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Dis-tribution for Liberty Life.

Claire Bloom, founder and Executive Director of End 68 Hours of Hunger said, “If we want our local children to grow up to be healthy, productive mem-

bers of our community then we have to feed them when they are young or they will not succeed in school. We were deeply honored to have been selected as this year’s recipient of money raised at the annual Larger Than Life event. On behalf of members, staff, families, and everyone involved with End 68 Hours of Hunger, I want to thank the many generous people at Liberty Life who made this happen.”
