Herbs for Health
What are MCTs? Medium chain triglycerides (fatty acids) or MCFAs; the “medium” references the chain length of the fatty acids. Oils can contain short chain, medium chain or long chain fatty acids, but most oils contain a combination of all three types. MCFAs are known to have tremendous health benefits. MCT oil is ready-made fuel for the body and brain. It is a very beneficial supplement for those interested in weight loss, body building and others who are looking to prevent and fight degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s.

Loosely based on The Princess and the Pea fairy tale, Strathclair Drama Club’s upcoming production of Once Upon a Mattress is sure to tickle your funny bone and entertain both the young and young at heart! This year’s cast of 36 is one of the smaller ones in recent memory, but they are making up for their size in talent and enthusiasm. Andrea Playter of Minnedosa has taken on the role of Queen Aggravian, an overbearing and controlling woman in search of a suitable bride for her son, Prince Dauntless. Her husband King Sextimus, played by Cardale’s Terry Radcliffe, is a man of few words, but if you watch closely you will understand what he is trying to get across. Their simple-minded son Prince Dauntless, played by Josh Butler of Minnedosa, desperately wants to get married; the queen has decreed no one in the kingdom may marry until her son does.
