Sara and Miriam have lived in the Negev desert all their lives. But without water, their children may riot be so lucky. For Sara and Miriam, Israel is home. Their parents settled in the Negev over 30 years ago. Sara and Miriam know everything there is about this region. Except for one thing. How can they continue living here without water? A 12-year drought has ravaged Israel, especially the Negev. Unless water is provided soon, Sara, Miriam and young people like them will not be able to call it home much longer. Jewish National Fund has pledged to build 75 life- sustaining reservoirs throughout Israel and the Negev, so young families can continue calling Israel home for generations to come. They are the future of Israel. And they need your help now. JNF has been the caretaker of the land of Israel on behalf of Jewish people everywhere for over a century. JNF's water projects have significantly increased Israel's water resources through reservoir and dam construction, river rehabilitation, water conservation and recycling. But much more still needs to be done. We can do it. All we need is for you to do your part. Please give generously. Together, we can make the desert bloom and our people flourish. , To donate, call your local JNF office at 1-888-JNF-0099 or visit www.jnf.org .

"You need to warm up first, like take a five- or 10-minute walk, jog or bike ride before stretching the body. Your muscles will be warm and ready for work. "Don't bounce up and down when stretching. Gently ease into a stretch, never pushing too hard to the point of pain. And hold the stretch — not for five seconds, but preferably for 20 or 30 seconds. You'll feel the differ- ence. "Stretch the proper way and your muscles will thank you!" KORN KORNER ... From Melissa Litvin ... A guy is out with buddies, has a few drinks, is feeling a little frisky, but true to his wife, goes home. He finds her sound asleep in bed with her mouth wide open, so he gets two aspirins and drops them in her mouth. She starts to choke, but recovers and asks, "What did you put in my mouth?" He says, Two aspirins." "She replies, But I don't have a headache!" He says, "That's all I wanted to hear!" OLDIE BUT GOODIE Dept. ... From Sandy Loeffler ... Two elderly men were out driving in a large car. Both barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. . The man in the passenger seat thought to himself, "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection, and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. - The man in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red, but was really concerned that he was losing it. He was getting nervous and decided to pay very close atten- tion to the road and the next inter- section. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So he turned to the other man and said, "Irving, you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Irving turned to him and said, "Oh, am I driving?"
