If you're looking for weekend plans with your kids, the Howard B. Owens Science Center will be hosting a planetarium program.

Fancy Nancy Sees Stars, which runs Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., is the story of a girl who goes on a class trip to the planetarium and adventures ensue.

The cost is $5 for adults; $3 for students, seniors, teachers, and military; and free for children under three.

Considering the sorry state of sex education in schools today and parental reluctance for teaching…Read More anything but abstinence (if they teach anything at all), I'd suggest that the sale shouldn't even be questioned. When we decide education means more than just saying "no," when boys and men learn that it's as much their responsibility as women's to avoid unprotected sex and that violence against women is wrong, and when we teach consequences along with abstinence, then perhaps the pill won't be necessary. I don't see that day coming for a long, long time. Now, if the course "Our Whole Lives" taught by Unitarian Universalists became standard education in every school, perhaps we wouldn't need emergency contraception. Education (knowledge) is power.

Betsy, I agree with a lot of your post; many parents seem to feel that if they tell their children…Read More about sex, it's the same as telling them to go out and do it. I'm willing to bet that more young people get into trouble by ignorance than by knowledge. (and I haven't read the text that you mentioned but yes, education/knowledge IS power).
