Our summer design includes a complementary format of camp sessions that flow as three weeks, two weeks, three weeks. In addition, the three travel programs seamlessly allow a camper to combine camp and travel for the whole summer. We believe this format allows our campers to match their needs and interests while also enabling their families to plan for special family times at home or on vacation. Our travel tours are designed to dovetail with our campus program and thereby allow for participation in both program areas.

Two Legends Come to Life
By Katherine Anne Porter
Romany Marie's charming rosy-edged reminiscences which you published lately, and your notice of Joe Gould's death in a mental hospital, remind me of two strange episodes that have stayed in my memory 30 years or a little less.
In the early '20's and on I spent a great deal of time in Mexico, and when I was in Greenwich Village I took very little part in the goings-on there. Everybody I knew, however, knew Romany Marie, her series of wonderful places where you saw simply everybody from all over the world, the warmth of her heart and the goodness of her coffee...I met her in the country at a kind of boarding farm where writers and artists went in the summer, when I was trying to do some work. But it wasn't much more quiet than in town, for a writer named Leonard Cline, who wrote glib high-voltage novels, was quite mad, drunken and impossible to quell or shake off when he went on the rampage, which was every night and often every day as well...
[Romany Marie] was a swarthy, weathered, beautiful woman in early middle life, calm and smiling and wearing her gypsy clothes as if she were born to the pattern, though everybody knew she was no gypsy, she said so herself. She just liked the idea of gypsies and decided to look like one.
She lent color and a kind of reality to the vaguely formless existence of the farm, and in the evening we all built a fire and sat around it singing, believe it or not, until Leonard Cline got off on his mad high horse, when we scattered and Romany Marie came to my place, the ice house, to spend the night. I barred the doors and put out the lights, and Leonard Cline careered and howled around the place, and beat on the doors demanding that we let him in, for a wearisome while. Romany Marie listened to the din in perfect calmness, but I was quite exhausted after several hours of it; and she suggested that while Cline was beating on the front door, we should take our cot mattresses, thin little rags they were, out the back door, and take refuge in the woods up the hill...
This must have been in 1926 or '27: I went later to Bermuda, back to Mexico, and on to Europe, and didn't see her for nearly 10 years. But when I went back, with another old friend of hers, she remembered instantly, and we talked again about our flight to the woods, and Romany Marie said, with the transfiguring power of her memory: "Oh, weren't we like two nymphs pursued by a satyr?"
...Some time afterward, Leonard Cline murdered his best friend with a shotgun in a country house after a night of furious drunken brawling. And a good while later, he was found dead in his bed. There was always the feel of death in the air where he was...
And then, Joe Gould! I did not know him, only by sight, and the sight was always a sad one...everyone seemed to realize there was nothing anyone could do for him...

Far from being an ever-present at the City Ground, however, he instead rationed his appearances and some weeks would not be seen until the Thursday or the Friday. When he was around, the difference in atmosphere was quite remarkable. Training suddenly acquired a fiercely competitive edge.
Players reported for training at 10.30 am and then changed into their training gear. After a few cups of tea, the whistle would blow from the coaches' room, and off we would all go on our journey to the training ground. We reached the pitch by way of a stroll alongside the River Trent. It was at this point that we would find out whether the manager was present or not. If he was, one of the apprentices would be walking his pet dog, Del, at the front. Del invariably accompanied his master to the ground, and always watched us train.
Training never altered during my whole time at the City Ground. It would start with a running warm-up, often taken by captain Stuart Pearce. This was then followed by a brief session of sprints over short distances. These were always won by either Franz Carr or Des Walker, who unfortunately for us never seemed to be exerting themselves in doing so.
Training ended with a short game of six-a-side, and then it was a walk back to the ground. The walk was often longer than the training sessions. Cloughie's great belief is that a player should not leave any energy on the training field, but save it for Saturday's game.
On our return to the dressing-room, one of the players would go into the physiotherapist's room and take out of his fridge a large box of ice-lollies, which were then handed out to everybody. These were brought in by Cloughie from one of the newsagent's shops he owned.
Reporting time for matches was always left as late as possible. I had been used to reporting for a pre-match meal three and a half hours before the start of the game. Now at Forest I was required to arrive at the ground only 45 minutes before the kick-off.
Away trips were treated in just the same manner. Where possible, the travelling would be done on the day of the match, or, if an overnight stay was essential, arrival at the hotel would be shortly before the players' bedtime.
At home matches, we players would not see the manager until shortly before kick-off. He was not one to mingle with his men as they prepared for the match. His was a dramatic entrance, intended to have the impact it always did. There were no great speeches, just little orders given to those he felt needed them.
When I first arrived my message game after game was the same: 'Turn with the ball, that's what you're paid for] If you get hurt turning with it, that doesn't matter. That's what you get paid for]'
One of his favourite exercises just before we left the dressing-room to run out on the field was to sit everybody down. He would then tell one of the coaches to place a ball in the middle of the dressing-room floor. 'Look at it]' he would order us. 'That's what you play with. Now go out there and play with it] Go and win playing football.' There were never any tactical discussions or talk of the opposition.
His ability to read a game is another of his great assets. If need be, minor adjustments are made either at half-time or during the match, often with devastating effect. His half- time talks are rarely over-animated and only ever begin when everybody has been sitting down for a few minutes and has had time to collect their thoughts.
The one major exception to this was during the half-time interval of a home reserve match, shortly after I had joined the club. The manager was far from pleased with his strikers that evening, especially Nigel Jemson, who was later to move to Sheffield Wednesday. Nigel, who was young and still learning, was having various disagreements with the coaches.
All the players were sitting down with their heads bowed low, after a disappointing first half. Cloughie approached Nigel, and stood directly in front of him. 'Stand up]' he commanded. Nigel obediently stood up. 'Have you ever been hit in the stomach, son?' he enquired. As soon as Nigel had said 'No', Cloughie delivered a forceful blow to his midriff. Nigel doubled up in pain and let out an agonised groan. 'Now you have, son]' and with that he turned away.
Every player in a Forest shirt is aware of the need for good behaviour on the field. It is something that is stressed to them by the manager on a regular basis. Any misdemeanours in this area are punished severely with heavy fines. Cloughie is in many ways a father-figure to his players and in this respect he has his greatest influence on the younger members of the club. As players get older, however, some of the more individually minded can tire of his parental guidance. As a 29-year-old, with a wife, child and large mortgage, I found it very strange when walking out of the toilets to be asked by the manager if I had washed my hands.
Adapted from More Than a Match by Lee Chapman (Stanley Paul, pounds 14.99)
Graham Taylor (England manager): 'Brian's achievements are there for everyone to see and whenever I have had any dealings with him he has been absolutely first class. He could offend and please you at the same time. Everyone applauds the way his teams have played.'
Jack Charlton (Republic of Ireland manager): 'It looks as though he's been hounded out of the game and it is a damn shame. I have known Brian for over 30 years - and yet in one way I still don't know him. I've had plenty of kisses from him but sometimes he can just walk past you. That's Cloughie. You have got to take him the way he is but it seems that some people cannot.'
Billy Bingham (Northern Ireland manager): 'His achievements will be remembered when this one season has been forgotten. It's picking the right time to call it a day. I just wish he'd done it last year.'
Terry Yorath (Wales manager): 'It's the end of that era really, with Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Don Revie - it's the end of the old-fashioned figureheads at clubs who ruled everything that happened there.'
Joe Royle (Oldham manager): 'Football was his passion and his teams have been an advert for other managers. I have especially liked the way Forest have played. It is a great shame he is going out of the game without having won the FA Cup.'
Larry Lloyd (Former Forest, Liverpool and England defender): 'This was not the way for him to go. He was the best manager I played under - and I played under quite a few including Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.'
Roy McFarland (Derby assistant manager): 'I just hope he remains in football in some capacity because he is a man to be respected and listened to.'
Neil Webb (Nottingham Forest midfielder): 'The news came like a bolt from the blue. I have always found him a great manager and a great person to work with.'
Paul Gascoigne (Lazio and England midfielder): 'He is a legend, the greatest manager in England. He has done nothing but good for the game and has always been a great boss.'
Tony Adams (Arsenal captain): 'His record speaks for itself. I have found him to be a charming man. English football will be poorer without him. Everyone knows how a Brian Clough side will play and he has stuck to that.'

Diagnosed With Eczema
Sign up FREE to ToucanLearn to receive hundreds of activities, games and craft for preschool children! Find out more...
Eczema is a dry, itchy skin condition that affects 15-20% of children during their early years, normally appearing before their 2nd birthday. Most will grow out of it by the time they reach the teenage years. Eczema cannot be cured, but it can be controlled and eased with various treatments.
What causes it?
Scientists really don't know for sure but it seems to run in families. The different types of eczema are:-
- Atopic Eczema: This means a tendency to develop conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, asthma and hayfever. In extreme cases the dry patches can crack and ooze blood or fluid. Most children tend to be affected around the knee, elbow, neck and face areas.
- Contact Eczema: Some children get flare-ups at times when their eczema is worse. This can be triggered by chemicals that come in close contact with the skin: washing powders, fabric softeners, bubble baht or shampoos. This is referred to as Contact Eczema. Some children with Atopic Eczema can also have Contact eczema and the two can exist together.
- Allergic Eczema: This refers to localised flaring up of eczema due to an allergic reaction, for example because of the nickel in jewellery or watches.
Eczema in children can be very distressing as they find it incredibly hard not to scratch and therefore infect the dry areas.
What Can Be Done?
- If your child has a Mild form of Eczema - Use an emollient lotion, cream and if necessary a course of steroid cream. Use bath emollient and avoid using perfumed products on your child.
- If they have a Severe form- Steroid creams may be prescribed by your doctor and they may be referred to a specialist dermatologist for other treatments or drugs.
Dry bandages may also be used, and a technique known as wet wrapping. This is where bandages are soaked in steroid cream and then placed on the affected areas with a dry bandage wrapped on top. This is done to encourage the emollient to soak into the skin.
Homeopathy and complementary medicines can be used as indeed can Chinese herbs. These treatments are not necessarily proved as being successful but may provide comfort.

India's imported inflation hit a 58-month high of 9.73% in February, says a State Bank of India (SBI) Research report. Imported inflation refers to the spike in general price levels of goods due to an increase in the prices of imported commodities which are used as raw materials. The imported inflation rate has been derived by SBI Research by tracking movement in prices of components of the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and thus indicates price increase in imported items in the WPI basket only.
Global crude oil prices, which have cooled off a little, were higher in the first two months of the year, pushing imported inflation northwards. Movement in global oil prices will be a key factor to be watched hereon.
Recently, the rupee has begun to appreciate against the US dollar. In this week, the Indian currency has risen by nearly 2%. According to some economists, only if this trend continues can one expect its positive impact to trickle down with a lag, which could tone down imported inflation going ahead.
