Free performance at LCCC

The Cleveland Shakespeare Festival will hold a free per-
formance of “The Life of Timon of Athens” at 7 p.m. on Sun-
day, June 21, at Lorain County Community College’s Stocker
Arts Center. The performance will be held in the outdoor am-
phitheater (inclement weather location will be Stocker Cin-
ema Hall).

The play follows Timon, who was the most admired man
on campus and generous to a fault. Betrayed by his friends,
Timon abandons civilization and goes "back-to-the-land." As
unrest grows in Athens, both sides appeal for his help. Set at a
certain state university in 1970 against a backdrop of unpopu-
lar war and student unrest, "The Life of Timon of Athens" is a
hilarious history of hip hypocrisy.

Bring a blanket or lawn chairs and enjoy this popular an-
nual event. For more information, visit www.stockerartscen-
ter.com.

homework so you can better understand what your partner is going through. Gaining
a better understanding of the physical and emotional changes taking place might
help make you a more attentive and patient partner, which will make the pregnancy
easier on everyone involved.

* Attend classes with your partner. If your partner wants to attend classes to learn
about childbirth, accompany her to such classes as much as possible. Similar to
accompanying your partner to the doctor’s of?ce for prenatal visits, going to class
with her will make the pregnancy seem like more of a team effort, which can make
things less stressful on her.

* Clean the house. Pregnant women should avoid exposure to household clean-
ing products, including cleansers and insecticides. Such products can harm your
unborn child, so take over the cleaning responsibilities throughout the pregnancy.

* Reduce your partner’s stress. Stress is potentially harmful for anyone, and
pregnant women are no exception. Stress will only make the pregnancy more dif-
?cult and might prove harmful to mother and child alike. Take steps to make your
partner’s life less stressful during her pregnancy, encouraging her to participate in
relaxation exercises and taking on more of the household responsibilities as her
pregnancy progresses and her mobility becomes more and more restricted.

* Alter your diet along with your partner. Your partner will likely be on a restricted
diet during her pregnancy. Pregnant women, for example, should never consume
