Fruits, nuts, grass and whatever grubs, insects or game you can kill with your hands or a rock.
Our hunter-gatherer ancestors thrived on a daily menu of whatever was at hand until the development of agriculture about 10,000 years ago, and a surprising number of dieters and fitness buffs are turning back their dietary clocks.
In a nutshell, the paleodiet is an attempt to approximate the caloric and nutritional intake that human beings evolved to eat, before we started to plant grain and legumes for their easy, abundant, but largely empty, calories. Or so the theory goes.
The modern menu includes grass-fed meats, fruits, cooked and raw vegetables, wild fish and unprocessed oils such as olive or avocado. Wheat, dairy and legumes, such as beans and peanuts, are not allowed because they are relatively recent additions to the human menu. Some versions forbid added salt. Most people limit or eliminate alcohol.
"It's really popular, at least half the people at my gym are eating something like the caveman diet," said Cassandra Kruger, a trainer at Momentum Fitness in Vancouver. "It's in the same vein as the South Beach and Atkins diet in that they don't include any refined carbohydrates, so no grains, no sugar, no flour and no processed foods."
Some nutritionists warn that low-carb diets carry potential health hazards from kidney stones and low blood pressure to calcium deficiency and osteoporosis.
Ultralow carb diets induce ketosis, a state in which the body burns fat for energy. You will lose weight, but it is not without risk.
Warehouse manager Rahim Khan of Langley started on the paleodiet just before his 27th birthday. He weighed 250 pounds, heavy for his 5-foot-11 frame.
"Less than a year later I hit my optimal weight of 173 pounds,"said Khan, who lost weight even as he cut back on his workouts. "I used to be in the gym three or four days a week and sometimes for two hours, now it's 30 minutes and I'm out."
Khan, his wife Liz and their three children all follow the paleodiet at home. Exceptions have to be made when the kids visit their grandparents, Khan laughed.
"I was skeptical at first," said Liz, who admits feeling sick and lethargic for the first two weeks after the change. "But I feel so much better now, I didn't even know how lousy I felt before."
The Khans eat grass-fed beef, pork and chicken, usually the fattiest cuts they can find. Wheat in all its forms has disappeared, along with soy and corn. Dairy is confined to butter and small amounts of aged cheese.
Fruits and vegetables make up the balance of the plate, which Rahim says he usually fills twice at supper time. When their personal workload gets heavy, the Khans will add a sweet potato with butter for extra energy.
"I like to just call it my lifestyle, it's the most logical way to eat," Rahim said. "What I do is based on the feedback my body gives. When I feel good I know I'm doing the right things."
The cavemen diet is an attractive weight-management program, because it is naturally low in calories and you are generally encouraged to eat whenever you are hungry. But the paleolithic menu probably has the most traction with people who have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
Could you live on the Paleo diet alone?
"Just look at how many people are eliminating gluten from their diet," Kruger said.
Indeed, gluten-free foods are among the fastest growing product classes at the grocery store. And theceliacscene.com lists dozens of restaurants across Metro Vancouver that offer gluten-free meals.
Chilliwack mom Lori Wedel made some paleolithic adjustments to her entire family's diet to address her and her daughter Eva's gluten sensitivity.
"When Eva was three or four we started noticing that she was having trouble with her digestion," said Wedel, a community support worker.
Gluten sensitivity can cause symptoms including constipation, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
"We decided we needed to investigate what might be the problem and we started to do an elimination diet," she recalled.
Eva showed no change when dairy was removed from the menu. "But when we got to gluten it was completely different and rapidly different," she said. "Within a week we noticed big changes, some we didn't expect."
"We thought she was a typical four-year-old until we started changing her diet," Wedel said. "She was a terror with concentration problems and aggression, but once we started removing gluten it changed altogether."
Wedel's own allergies to nuts and to seafood meant there were few processed foods in the house anyway, but even fewer when the family began to eliminate sugar, artificial colourings and gluten.
"The difference in Eva made it impossible to go back," Wedel said. "We can't eat another way."
Rather than keeping abundant carbohydrates in their diet with gluten-free breads and pasta, the Wedels just eliminated bread and grain-based foods such as pasta. At $7 a loaf for gluten-free bread, it just didn't make sense.
"We eat meat every day and a whack of vegetables, usually in a stir-fry," she said. "We don't follow the strict paleodiet, if we have sushi we eat the rice and sometimes we have quinoa."
Even though the Wedels don't consider themselves paleodieters, Eva likes to joke that she is a caveman child. Lori's husband Will, an engineer with the City of Chilliwack, is a big fan of the hefty portions of meat, usually chicken, pork and grass-fed beef.
"For me the biggest change was just deciding that not every meal had to be like my mom taught me, meat, potatoes, grain, you don't need those to live," she said.
Wedel's sister Brittany Eidsness, a registered holistic nutritionist, helped tweak the family's menus.
When calories from wheat, rice, potatoes and refined sugar are eliminated from the diet, the ratio of fibre, vitamins, minerals and important nutrients per calorie consumed goes way up.
The exception is vitamin D, which hunter gatherers produced in great abundance because they lived outdoors and spent long hours walking and foraging.
"People have a hard time figuring out what to eat and this diet is healthy and very clear," she said. "It removes all of the foods that cause us problems."
Proponents of the caveman diet point out that so-called "diseases of civilization" — heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes — were not a problem to people who lived in the Paleolithic period, which ran from about 2.5 million years ago until farming took hold about 8,000 BCE.
"The paleodiet is naturally low-carb and focuses on clean protein sources like grass-fed beef, wild fish, naturally raised chicken and eggs," said Eidsness. "Then you are going to have as many vegetables as you can possibly eat, with the possible exception of nightshade vegetables for people who are sensitive to them."
Stricter paleodieters avoid eating members of the nightshade family, which includes peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes, in the belief that they cause loss of calcium and may trigger arthritis or autoimmune disease.
People transitioning to the caveman diet can expect a minor rebellion by their body. Many people experience lethargy, headaches and flu-like symptoms that Eidsness attributes to a withdrawal from the body's addiction to sugar and carbohydrates.
Critics of the paleodiet trend point to a long list of incongruities, knowledge gaps about the true nature of man's diet during the Paleolithic period.
A true paleolithic diet would probably include some wild game, tart berries, insects, roots and wild tubers, shellfish, rodents and the occasional cache of honey. But it would also vary enormously from north to south, coast to inland and continent to continent, ranging from a chimpanzee-like diet of fruits to a very fatty meat-based diet of seal and caribou consumed by Arctic peoples.
The truth is that defining a true paleolithic diet is next to impossible.
What we do know is that the abundant calories of cultivated grain gave rise to a massive human population boom and gave birth to permanent sedentary civilization, both of which roil unabated to this day.
In addition to the potential for health impacts from eating an ultra low-carb diet, a leading Canadian nutritionist warns that paleodieters often eat more meat than is healthy for them and the planet.
The environmental cost of a largely meat-based diet is probably the strongest argument against eating like a modern caveman, said David Jenkins, a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto and Canada Research Chair in Nutrition and Metabolism.
"We just can't produce enough calories in meat protein and fat to feed the world's human population, it's not sustainable," Jenkins said.
Widely accepted estimates suggest it takes 16 kilos of grain to produce one kilo of beef and at least 441 gallons of water.
"The [caveman diet] craze is interesting in that it focuses on increased fibre foods, but people get bored of fibre if you can't have it as bread or pasta or rice," Jenkins said. "These are the starchy staples that allowed us to multiply on the face of the planet."
Caveman diet proponents claim that eating what they believe to be the human ancestral diet will reduce their risk of disease, pointing out that Paleolithic era people were not afflicted with today's most common ailments, many of which are associated with obesity and old age.
That idea might just hold water.
Pre-agricultural humans did live long enough to suffer from diseases of age and there is evidence arthritis was common, though obesity, heart disease and diabetes were rare or entirely absent.
Jenkins is skeptical that such dramatic alterations in our modern diet are key to better health.
"The first step in adopting a paleolithic lifestyle would be to throw away your car keys and walk everywhere," he said. "The diet we have adopted over the past 10,000 years suits our physiology just fine if we are exercising. The problem is we put all these starchy calories in our body and then try to burn them driving everywhere in our cars."

Jim Fennell: Pioneer spurred on by mother's memoryBy JIM FENNELL
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 16. 2013 8:43PM
DURHAM - Somewhere Kristen Rhoades was smiling Saturday when Trinity of Manchester beat Bishop Guertin of Nashua, 50-46, in the championship game of the Division I boys' basketball tournament at the University of New Hampshire's Lundholm Gymnasium.
Brad Rhoades knew exactly where his mother was.
"She was here, watching down on me," Rhoades said as he held the game ball he used to knock down two 3-pointers - including a clutch one late in the third quarter - and score 10 points for the Pioneers.
Kristen Rhoades, who went to UNH, died Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011, after a freak snowmobile accident as she and her husband, Frank, were on their way home after dinner at a friend's house near their home in Epsom.
Frank tried in vain to save his wife, then had to tell his two children their mother was gone. You never know how someone is going to deal with that. For Brad, he went back onto the basketball court and played his heart out.
He took the court for the Pembroke Academy junior varsity team two days after Kristen Rhoades died at the age of 46 and decided to score 46 points in her honor. He did, running off the court and into his dad's arms after making his three to hit the mark exactly. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Even the other team was rooting for him.
Things change and, two years later, Brad is now a junior at Trinity. He transferred schools this season for what he said was a number of reasons, a mix of academics and athletics.
He played in the Division IV football championship game for the Pioneers and now suited up for Trinity's 21-win season in basketball that ended with their first title since 2009. He said he and Ryan Otis, who transferred in from Merrimack Valley, have been friends since they were 8 years old and talked about going to Trinity together.
"They came here and they didn't know me," Trinity coach Dave Keefe. "They adjusted so well."
Rhoades began the season starting for the Pioneers, but was replaced by sophomore Wenjin Gabriel. His time and points went down. Keefe said he took the change in stride.
"He never went into the tank," Keefe said. "He never gave up."
Rhoades was given the assignment of guarding Nashua South point guard Tim Preston late in their semifinal game and helped keep a player who emerged as one of the best in Division I from beating the Pioneers when the game was on the line in the fourth quarter.
He did it again Saturday against BG point guard Steve Toscano, who may have been playing as well as anyone in the tournament. Four days after scoring a game-high 19 points in a semifinal win over Spaulding of Rochester, Toscano was held to four on Saturday.
On the way to the game, Rhoades was getting updates from his father on the Division II championship game between Pembroke and Souhegan of Amherst earlier in the day. He said he was rooting for his old teammates, including Rene Maher, Pat Welch and Matt Persons, and said they were rooting for him.
Everyone ended up happy. Pembroke beat Souhegan and Trinity beat BG.
Rhoades was clutch, scoring 10 points, including the final five of the first quarter after BG had just gone on an 8-2 run. Then he nailed a three late in the third quarter after the Cardinals had got to within one point.
After the game, Rhoades went up and hugged his teary-eyed father.
"I told him this was for my mom," Rhoades said.
Kristen Rhoades must have loved watching that moment.

State's pharmacy board jumping ahead of proposed billBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
February 16. 2013 10:53PM
Last October, even as state public health officials were dealing with the hepatitis C crisis, the first reports came in that patients who had received injectable drugs were being diagnosed with fungal meningitis.
The rare and potentially fatal illness was linked to contaminated drugs made by New England Compounding Center (NECC) of Framingham, Mass.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 14 cases of illness in New Hampshire linked to the contaminated drugs. Nine patients had meningitis and five developed joint infections.
The CDC reports 704 cases and 46 deaths linked to the outbreak nationwide. There have been no deaths reported in New Hampshire.
In response to the meningitis outbreak, Rep. Daniel Sullivan, D-Manchester, agreed to sponsor a bill to regulate compounding pharmacies, at the request of the state Board of Pharmacy. "It's an industry that's kind of run amok," he said. "There just wasn't enough oversight."
Robert Stout, a commissioner on the pharmacy board, said the board is already working on new regulations for compounding pharmacies rather than wait for passage of legislation.
There are 40 pharmacies in New Hampshire that do what's known as "high-risk," or sterile, compounding, and an additional 153 out-of-state pharmacies that ship sterile products here, Stout said.
State inspectors visit every pharmacy in New Hampshire, unannounced, every year, he said. But for now, the state has to rely on other states to watch over companies there.
In the NECC case, Stout said, "If Massachusetts had only done some routine inspections, they probably would have noticed this a long time ago."
New Hampshire's actions coincide with a push by the federal Food and Drug Administration, Stout said, to more clearly distinguish between a compounding pharmacy and a drug manufacturer.
NECC, he said, was shipping volumes of drugs to hospitals and clinics that were not patient-specific. "They were manufacturing, and someone should have seen that," he said.
House Bill 313 would require compounding pharmacies to label each drug with the names of the prescribing doctor and individual patient.
At a public hearing on Feb. 5, representatives from the New Hampshire Medical Society and New Hampshire Society of Eye Physicians & Surgeons said they supported the intent of HB 313, but have concerns about that provision in it.
Dr. Tim Blake is an ophthalmologist at Nashua Eye Associates and president of the NHSEPS. "From a patient safety standpoint, we're in favor of oversight and regulation of the compounding process," he said.
However, he said, ophthalmologists frequently keep certain compounded medications on hand for "office use," for patients who have macular degeneration, for instance. Requiring an individual prescription would mean patients would have to leave the office, get their prescriptions filled and then return later for treatment. It would also be more costly for the patient, he said.
Stout said he expects House Bill 313 can be amended to address the concerns of doctors. But he said, "We want to make sure, if you're going to administer a high-risk product to a patient, that it's made to the highest standards and we can assure the people of New Hampshire that it's going to be safe when they go to their doctor's office."
The House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs will vote on the bill on Thursday.

With people like the Apprentice's recently fired Kevin Shaw showing how leather jackets can look bad, it's becoming more important to get a tailored jacket regardless of what material it's made from. Gar-De are a New York design collective who aim to 'reinvent the highest quality materials into innovative designs'. They chose leather for their debut collection and focused exclusively on it.
Adidas Originals D-Nizza, re-made eco style
Now that many of the classic Adidas styles are back in vogue, the label has chosen to re-release them in its Originals range. But going back has not stopped the company looking forward, as the retro items are being made with environmentally conscious materials.
Botanika environmentally friendly hooded coat
Yesterday I posted about Pudel, the London label set up by Lina Österman, a Swedish Central Saint Martins graduate. Coincidentally, Hypebeast have recently found a nice coat designed by another CSM graduate – interstingly enough with the same biker influences as the Pudel zip sweater. Maybe 'motorcycle jacket construction' was a compulsory module or something.
Pudel S/S 2008 biker jacket zip sweater
Pudel is only three years old, but has already built a reputable name based on its androgynous aesthetic. Headed by Lina Österman, a Central Saint Martins graduate, whilst clearly influenced by Swedish minimalist design, Pudel also has its roots in 'traditional Belgian deconstructionism'.
Still on the lookout for a summer jacket?
If you haven't decided what kind of summer jacket that you'll be wearing, then Refinery29 have a comprehensive overview of eight different types of jacket. If you're in England, then you may want to get these sooner rather than later, as the weather reporters are stating that it's gonna be 17C and upwards from Tuesday.
Pop Quiz: Which one of these jackets is Dior Homme?
Answer: Neither. Although these leathers bear a striking resemblance to those that have featured in Dior Homme collections over the past couple of years, they are in fact the work of Black Scissors, leathercrafters from South Wales who are increasingly building a reputation for their custom tailoring.
Uniqlo mini sale
While we do feature some pricier items here on Brandish, we also do fashion for the masses. So when news of Uniqlo's mini sale came to us, we had to let you all know about. Focusing exclusively on outerwear, Uniqlo have cut prices of their double breasted trench coat to £29.99 and their cotton jacket to £19.99.
'Marc Jacobs Surplus' recycled military goods
Marc Jacobs has tapped back into the military theme that inspired some of Marc by Marc's S/S collection last year, with a new range of recycled military goods.
Surface To Air et Justice pour tous
Electro darlings Justice have announced a collaborative effort with fellow Parisians Surface To Air, for their new clothing line 'Justice for All'.
Clearly heavily influenced by Xavier de Ronay's leather jacket fetish, 3 have been designed in a 150 piece run (including a rather nice biker jacket, fuelling the resurgence) along with 2 pairs of jeans.
Poll: Comme Des Garçons jakcet
Last week's poll showed how different you all are with no clear winner in the trouser style stakes, this week's poll is far more clear cut.

As part of the research for my article on Michael Vick in the 2012 Eagles Almanac, I took a detailed look at how teams defended him last season.
Here's a look at how many pass rushers defenses sent at Vick. Of course, there's always some guesswork involved, but the numbers came from charting every snap where Vick dropped back to pass - sacks and scrambles included.
|No. of Pass Rushers
|Percentage of Plays
|3 or fewer
|7 or more
If we count a blitz as any play in which the defense sends more than four rushers, Vick was blitzed 35.4 percent of the time last year. More often than not (64.6 percent), defenses stuck with four rushers or fewer.
How did Vick perform against different numbers of pass rushers? Here's a look at completion percentage and yards per attempt:
|No. of Pass Rushers
|Comp. %
|Yards Per Attempt
|3 or fewer
|7 or more
Rushing three was not the way to defend Vick. The Eagles' offensive line was able to protect him in those situations, and the team's pass-catching weapons can still get open, even with eight defenders in coverage. Vick was 31-for-40 for 470 yards when teams rushed only three.
When teams rushed four and dropped seven into coverage, Vick's numbers were pedestrian. He completed 57.8 percent of his passes and averaged 7.4 yards per attempt.
Vick's numbers against five rushers look great – 64.1 completion percentage and 8.9 yards per attempt – but he was sacked quite a bit on these plays. Vick was sacked 8.1 percent of the time when defenses sent five rushers his way; that number was only 2.6 percent when defenses rushed four. In other words, just one extra rusher made a huge difference.
The numbers against six or more rushers were not good. Vick completed just 22 of 43 passes (51.2 percent) for 199 yards (4.6 YPA) on those plays.
Overall, against the blitz, Vick completed 60.3 percent of his passes and averaged 7.6 yards per attempt. He completed 60.7 percent of his non-blitz throws and averaged 8.1 yards per attempt.
Looking ahead to 2012, I would expect teams to choose their spots with the big blitzes of six rushers or more. If the Eagles send their receivers deep downfield, and Vick breaks the line of scrimmage, those plays can lead to huge gains and are risky for opposing defenses (think back to the comeback game against the Giants in 2010).
The best way to defend Vick is probably with four or five pass rushers. A lot of this comes down to the play of the Eagles' offensive line. Teams were not effective at sacking Vick without sending extra pressure last year. That could change if Demetress Bell doesn't adequately fill in at left tackle for Jason Peters, or if Danny Watkins doesn't improve at right guard in his second season.
But by sending four or five, defenses force Vick to go through his progressions, and they protect themselves in the event that he takes off and runs.
Anyway, this is just part of what I focused on in my (long-winded) analysis. I also covered Vick's injuries, sacks, turnovers, passing targets and more. As I mentioned yesterday, the Eagles Almanac is chalk full of good information and well worth your time as we count down the days to Lehigh.

Park St., Cortez, beginning on Friday, Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. and meeting each Friday at 10 a.m. for the following six weeks.

Why not give up something that is destructive in our lives? Imagine giving up envy, jealousy, self-pity, apathy, procrastination, gossip, resentment, negative thinking - and how much better your life would be. Take the 46 days of Lent to prepare to give up something bad while preparing to fully embrace the "Good News" of Easter. The public is invited to attend.

Posted on July 12, 2013
So let's just say that you were thinking of coming to the Book Fair Preview Night on Wednesday, July 24, so you can get first crack at the Dennis Rodman paper dolls, and you've never been to one of our little opening shindigs before. What do you need to know?
Well, you should know, for starters, that not just anybody is allowed in at 4 o'clock Wednesday night. This privilege is limited to Associates of the Library, a noble group of intellectuals who give us money. Even then, you must be an Associate at the Author Level or above. These are people who gave a minimum of $100. The lady who offered to send me her C.V., so that I could judge her published writings and gauge whether or not she qualified was taking things a bit too literally.
Yes, you can actually make your donation on Wednesday, but there is no particular virtue in doing so. In fact, it slows down the line. (And there is nothing to gain by it, if you were figuring that a year's membership, what with the way the calendar works, would get you in two years running, since next year's opening Wednesday will be just 364 days from this year's. Nay, my friend, that's in the small print on your card: one Book Fair preview night per customer.)
That's right: you get a card, a membership card to show the world that the Newberry puts you at the level of Authors or Above. (This and fifty-five cents will get you a cardboard cup of hot chocolate from the vending machine.) There are other nifty freebies that come with your generosity, but the other one that is pertinent to our lecture today is a postcard inviting you to attend the Preview Night. (Another reason to send the money good and early—try the Website—is so the Postal Service has time to get you that postcard.)
On Wednesday, you need to show your membership card or your postcard to get in. The card entitles you to bring ONE significant other: not your extended family and their dogs. Dogs sit in front of the Nature section all night and sneer at the cat books, so we can't have them clogging the aisles.
Now, if you plan to be part of the four o'clock rush, the smart way to do it is to come earlier. That morning, someone will be in the lobby checking cards and issuing tickets. These tickets are numbered. This is so that you can now Go Away and Let Us Be while we finish preparations. At three o'clock, a line starts to form, and you are entitled to take your numbered place in line. We do not go out of our way to enforce these numbers because we find the people in line take care of that for us. If you are number 42, number 35 and number 17 will make sure you do not slip in ahead of them, or, indeed, of 40 and 41. (Why would you want to sneak in ahead of good old 41, who just comes to look for John F. Kennedy postcards? What kind of meanie are you?)
By the way, please stop at your own bathroom before you leave home. We have had a few cases of people sneaking in at 3:15 or so to use the facilities, browse in the bookstore, admire our wall hangings, and just generally look as if they aren't trying to get a look at the books forty seconds ahead of the people waiting politely in line. This is why people are patrolling in the bookstore and the restrooms are mysteriously out of order from about three on.
I think that's all you need to know, beyond my annual suggestion that it's a lot easier to come in if you wait until about 4:15. Yeah, I know, I know. Easier to socre touchdowns when the other team's gone home.

Camden County Child Advocacy Council operates a Thrift Store in Camdenton to help in the funding many of their programs.
Camden County Child Advocacy Council operates a Thrift Store in Camdenton to help in the funding many of their programs. Although it is a business and profit is the bottom line for most businesses, there are times when it's not about receiving a cash payment for an item but rather just receiving a smile from a child that was helped.
Three-year-old Dominick was abused by his mother and step-father to the point that he did not speak. Dominick showed evidence of being whipped – painful looking red marks across his back. He was brought in by his grandfather to look for a winter coat. The grandfather wanted the coat to be very warm and wanted to make sure it had a hood. There wasn't coat to fit the boy upstairs at the thrift store so he was taken downstairs where other coats were to look for one and found a red "Kansas City Chiefs" coat that fit him perfectly. He was so excited and ran up the stairs to show his grandfather, but his grandfather said, "No hood." Dominick looked up at the clothing rack before him and pointed to a knit cap, "a red one!" (Amazingly we finally heard him speak!) His grandfather approved of the knit cap. Dominick started laughing and dancing. He was so happy to have a warm new coat and to be safe with his grandfather.
There was an 11th grade girl who was excited about being invited to her high school prom. Her family could not afford to purchase a formal gown for her and when the girl's high school counselor became aware of the problem, she contacted Child Advocacy Council to see if the Thrift Store had a dress in the girl's size. Unfortunately, there wasn't a dress in her size. Knowing that the lack of an appropriate dress can be a traumatic and overwhelming situation, the council voted to purchase a dress for the girl. A council members took the girl shopping and with a little alteration, she got the perfect dress.
In another instance, two young women and a baby came into the thrift store to shop for a few baby things. The baby was wrapped in a small blanket and had no shoes or socks. The young women found several outfits for the baby, shoes, socks, and even a warm blanket. As the volunteers at the store were talking with them, Thrift Store workers learned that these women were sisters and both had been in abusive relationships. They were sharing a house and sleeping on the floor. One of the Child Advocacy Council members called a resource for mattresses and asked if they had a bed or beds that they could donate to the women. Not only did they supply the women with a bed, they delivered it to their home. The Child Advocacy Thrift Store supplied the pillows, sheets, and blankets. Two weeks later, the women came back into the store with words of thanks.
Child Advocacy Thrift Store has been in their current building located on 77 Dawson Road, just off of North Highway 5 for eight years and remodeled in January. Store items range from clothing to bedding to furniture and other household items. Most of the items that are sold are received through donations from individuals or businesses in the community. Business hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Every Thursday is "$5 basket sale" day. The basket must be level with the top and can include any clothing but can only include one new package of socks, one new package of underwear, one purse, a belt and one pair of shoes. Donations are accepted during normal business hours. For more information, contact the Thrift Store at 573-346-0003.

Our View
President Obama visited drought-stricken California last week and promised Golden State farmers and ranchers millions of dollars in aid, but not a drop of water.
In an event with farmers and other ag interests near Fresno, Obama on Feb. 14 promised $100 million in livestock-disaster aid. He also offered $60 million to support food banks, and $13 million for conservation projects and assistance to rural communities.
California farmers said the money is appreciated, but what's wanted is more water — water now allocated to endangered salmon and smelt.
The drought is real, but California's long-term water woes are as much man-made calamity as natural disaster. The demands placed on California's water resources are a human construct.
In the long run, California farmers and ranchers need more storage capacity, and want some of the water now diverted for endangered species to fill new reservoirs for use in future droughts.
Last month farmers learned they wouldn't be getting their allocations from the State Water Project. It's unlikely they'll get much, if any, from the federally operated Central Valley Project.
As a result, California farmers are expected to leave fallow up to 500,000 acres this season. Producers will use what water they do have on the most high-value crops.
Obama acknowledged the politics are difficult.
"We're going to have to figure out how to play a different game," Obama said. "If the politics are structured in such a way where everybody is fighting each other and trying to get as much as they can, my suspicion is that we're not going to make much progress."
Environmental interests, part of the president's base, litigate any and all attempts to reduce allocations for endangered species. Obama has signaled his call for compromise doesn't extend to changes in environmental policy.
Earlier in the week the White House said Obama would veto a bill passed by the House of Representatives that would relax environmental protections for the endangered fish and provide more water for farmers.
We agree with the president that the California drought will have implications across the country.
Any national concern for California's water woes are more hyperbole than reality at this point. But consumers will take notice when their favorite foods become more expensive, or are increasingly imported from South America. Will they see the value in allowing the nation's salad bowl to wither?
California farmers have made great strides in water conservation, and have demonstrated every interest in pushing further. They're also willing to look at every proposal, and hammer out a deal that saves a $30 billion industry while serving other interests.
Obama says it's time for a different game in California. He's right. But that means everything has to be on the table, including the water allocations for endangered species.
