At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however,
public health o cials acknowledged that “we do not yet know
the speci c cause [of the illnesses].”

In New York, health o cials imposed a statewide 90-day
ban on the sale of most avored e-cigarettes. Albany’s action,
on Sept.17, came the same day Bedford o cially put a stop—

stop enforcement. In a negotiated settlement, those shops, two

T. REX

FROM PAGE 1

e celebration took place at the Cross River Post O ce on Sept. 21.
e new Tyrannosaurus Rex Forever stamps are available in panes of 16 stamps with four designs. Featur-
ing lenticular printing, two of the four designs show movement when rotated. See the skeletal remains with
and without esh and watch as an approaching T. rex suddenly lunges forward.
Scientist and paleoartist Julius T. Csotonyi created photorealistic illustrations of T. rex with depictions
based on the growing body of research on these dinosaurs. Csotonyi painted digitally using a stylus on a
computer screen, an approach he likens to acrylic painting. Art director Greg Breeding designed the pane.
e “Nation’s T. rex,” the young adult featured on two of the new stamps, was discovered in 1988 on federal
land in Montana. Painstaking excavation revealed what would become one of the most studied and important
tyrannosaur specimens ever found, including the rst T. rex arms ever recovered. e Nation’s T. rex is now
exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History.

I’m sure Dawn is hoping to get a reality TV show out of her

wedding dress-wearing stunt. She has lots of followers on social

media who look forward to posted photos of Dawn wearing her

wedding dress while grocery shopping, vacuuming, attending a

festival, and paddleboarding. Seriously, you can see these photos

for yourself!

at reminds me of an episode on the TV sitcom, “Friends,”

where the unmarried Monica, Rachel and Phoebe decide to dress

up in wedding gowns to cheer themselves up. e friends waltzed

around the apartment in their gowns and veils. en they sat on

the couch in their wedding gowns and ate ice cream right out of

Maybe Dawn has the right idea. She is getting lots of enjoy-
