Energy independence, by taking the bargaining chip of oil depen-dence off the table, would be good for American foreign policy. But the very technological advances that make independence possible have created a dilemma for lawmakers. In a government with fixed resources, should the U.S. encourage more traditional fuel produc-tion or invest in the young technology of renewable resources?

Maple Maze - Indoor PlaygroundIt's an AMAZING fun time for children ages 12 and under. The playground was modified by adding new features which is like a whole new experience each and every visit. Start on the first level by climbing the rock wall, hopping on the pogo stick or enter the tree house and climb to the second level. Multiple routes bring more to dis-cover in the jungle of the MAZE. Four new slides entice children to keep crawling back up to dis-cover new routes to slide down, long tubes to push through and Hoover rings to crawl over. The toddler area for three and under has been expanded. Toddlers are able to crawl into the lion's mouth and back down a slide to venture on to the molded alligator, hippo and more. Activity panels keep the young minds intriqued and active. Let your child be the judge of the fun!

leARn-TO- SWIMThe American Red Cross swim program helps everyone 18 months through adulthood to be safe in, on and around water. There are six comprehensive course levels that help a person progress in their strokes to proficiency and endurance. The prerequisite for each level is the successful demonstration of the skills from the preceding level, except for level 1, which has no prerequisite. Each level of Learn to Swim includes training in basic water safety and helping a swimmer in distress, in addition to the skills outlined below. Exit skills are a combination of skills learned. Instructors will be checking skills the first day of class to place the swimmer in the appropriate class. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Gayle West, 763-494-6493.
