NEW CANAAN, Conn. -- In honor of its 50th anniversary, the New Canaan Scholarship Foundation received 15 new named and endowed scholarships established in honor of an individual, group, organization or business.
The NCSF began accepting new scholarships this year, and the 15 new ones add to its founding scholarships: the Henry S. Coleman Endowed Scholarship, in honor of Henry Coleman, founder of the New Canaan High School Scholarship Fund; and the Bradley J. Fetchet 9/11 Memorial Foundation Endowed Scholarship, in honor of Bradley Fetchet, a NCHS graduate who died in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11.
The following new scholarships will now be offered through the NCSF:
The John Leslie Endowed Scholarship, in honor of John Leslie, a member of the Class of 2012, who passed away in August 2007.
The Peter Myers Endowed Scholarship, in honor of Peter Myers, who tragically died in 1972, prior to graduating with his class in June 1973.
The Martha Gaines Wehrle Endowed Scholarship in honor of Martha Gaines Werhle, who pioneered a path for women in state politics and showed her family each and every day the power and importance of leadership, education, and hard work.
The Ben Young Endowed Scholarship, in honor of Ben Young, a beloved Saxe Middle School teacher and New Canaan High School Boys Tennis Coach.
•he Briar Foundation Endowed Scholarship, meant to help a deserving NCHS graduate who relies on financial aid to assist with college expenses.
The Kelsey Durkin Endowed Scholarship, in honor of Kelsey Durkin, a NCHS graduate of the Class of 2010 whose life was tragically cut short by a drunk driver while she was a student at Washington and Lee University.
The Jack and Jennifer Murphy Endowed Scholarship
The Class of 1977 Endowed Scholarship, in memory of their classmates who have passed away since graduation. This scholarship is accepting ongoing donations.
The Myledred F. Marcely Scholarship Fund, in honor of Myledred F. Marcely, a former ceramics teacher at NCHS in the building that is now known as Saxe Middle School.
Bigger, Not Smaller Scholarship, founded by Preston and Kim Bealle, in honor of their friend Claire O'Hare
The Cioffi Family Scholarship, to assist a student who has demonstrated interest and enthusiasm for the inclusion of all students within the high school setting but, in particular, those who have special needs.
The Seelert Family Scholarship
Caffeine and Carburetors Scholarship
Administrators Association Scholarship.
The Culpepper Family Scholarship
As college tuitions continue to increase, there is a significant need for scholarship funding within New Canaan. The cost of education is accelerating and the needs of all applicants cannot be fully met.
In 2017, NCSF received over 60 applications. Of these, the NCSF awarded 54 students a total of $83,500, or less than $2,000 each. The NCSF's goal to continue to increase its fundraising in order to ensure that it can provide aid to every deserving applicant and increase the amount of each scholarship.
NCSF's endowment currently totals $192,000, or approximately $800,000 less than the endowment in neighboring towns.
"Our goal is to raise over $1,000,000 in order to grow our endowment and have ample funds under management to further assist students in need," said Bill Egan, chairman of the NCSF.
Donations can be made at the following six levels:
Tassel Award, $500 per year for four years
Cap & Gown Award, $1,000 per year for four years
Diploma Award, $2,500 per year for four years
Valedictorian Award, $5,000 per year for four years
50th Anniversary Award, a $10,000 one-time award
Named Endowed Awards, totaling $22,500 or more, designed to last in perpetuity or for a designated period of time.
General scholarship donations in any amount.
Donations can be made online at www.nchs-sf.org or by mail at NCHS Scholarship Foundation, New Canaan High School, 11 Farm Road, New Canaan, CT 06840. Checks should be made payable to New Canaan High School Scholarship Foundation.

Yes to culture. But the whole nation needs a boost, not just our cities
Liverpool port hosted the Tall Ships Race in its year of the award, 2008; Anthony Gormley's Another Place figures were permanently installed in 2007.
Some people call for a town of culture award, but smaller communities should be able to benefit too
• Phil Redmond is chair of the UK City of Culture independent advisory panel, and a TV screenwriter who created Brookside and Hollyoaks
Another year over, a new one just begun, sang one of Liverpool's great songsmiths. And with each one that passes, a new anniversary is formed. Last year was significant for me, as it was not just the 40th anniversary of Grange Hill but also the 10th anniversary of what will, probably, soon be known as England's one and only European capital of culture.
This year will mark a decade since, having seen the impact on Liverpool, I suggested and began shepherding the UK city of culture project. Last week the Labour MP Yvette Cooper suggested there should be a town of cultureaward to sit alongside it.
She was right to identify culture's catalytic effect. Such titles encourage people to come together collaboratively, using culture to explore common interests and opportunities for change.
But these awards are not a panacea. They do not come with any promise of direct funding, only what every city outside London craves: a year of unprecedented media exposure that attracts visitors, alters perceptions and through that builds confidence and aspiration, especially in younger residents. The designation should therefore be seen not as the solution to, or end of, anything, but the start of a new phase in a city's life and a launchpad for strategic plans.
It is up to each recipient to decide what, when, where and how to use funding from supporters such as the BBC, Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund, while at the same time recognising the responsibility to maximise the potential for participation.
Liverpool embraced the Euro-branding, and focused its future civic, political and corporate ambitions on that one year. It attracted 3 million extra visitors, and numbers have remained high – the visitor economy has doubled to about £4bn, dwarfing the annual EU grant of £100m incidentally, and allowing the mayor, Joe Anderson, to claim culture as the rocket fuel of regeneration.
I have no doubt a town of culture accolade would be a positive re-energising tool, but the proposal only takes us back to 2009, when the project wrestled with the entry criteria. How big a city or town? Could a county enter? What about joint bids? Eventually a consensus emerged that to achieve the "Liverpool effect" it had to be a recognisable conurbation, but it could be any town or city that could demonstrate local identity and need.
In other words, a place had to have a cultural story everyone could understand. The only city excluded, for once, would be London. The primary reason that Derry-Londonderry, Hull and Coventry have succeeded is that their stories were, if not better, then more fully developed than those of others.
It is also worth bearing in mind that there have been only three rounds, each one providing a better understanding and opportunity to improve the process. Size and geographical scope are actively under review. As is frequency. Why wait so long between awards? Initially the idea was for an annual award, but that was felt too onerous for the national supporting organisations, as well as, perhaps, diminishing the impact.
Would enough cities enter to make it worthwhile? Ten years on, it is clear that the demand is there, and that the cultural landscape has changed. People and places are, like Liverpool, realising that creativity and culture go hand in hand. There is a clear demand to use culture's catalytic power, just as there is a growing understanding of the role our national organisations, such as Tate and the V&A, can play outside the capital.
Another idea to deal with the city-v-town issue is to alternate the award cycle. As with the European Championship and the World Cup, different-sized competitions would leapfrog every two years. That might help resolve the urban situation, but it is too narrow a focus. Before Coventry was awarded the city title for 2021, it had become demonstrably clear that there was also a need to support rural, semi-rural and seasonal economies. Such places and areas are home to about 50% of taxpayers, the ultimate funders of our public arts bodies.
This was articulated well by Perth, St David's, Wells and Hereford as the "quiet crisis": smaller places struggling with the same challenges as bigger ones but drowned out by "urban chatter". Losing the local pub, shop, bank or bus service in a big city or town is an inconvenience; elsewhere it can sound a death knell.
Nothing is set in stone. The discussion around greater cultural intervention is already live, but we have to be careful not to raise the urban decibel level. The real need is for a broader debate about cultural intervention being used for the many, not the few.

• This article was amended on 7 January 2019. An earlier version said Liverpool would "soon be known as the UK's one and only European capital of culture". Though Liverpool is the only city in England to have been awarded that distinction, Glasgow was European capital of culture in 1990.

MGC Pharmaceutical's Effort to Bring Plant-Derived Medicines to the Public
by Kevin Taylor
Plant-derived medicines are receiving praise from the public, with more people looking for natural alternatives to traditional medication. One European-based pharmaceutical company, MGC Pharmaceutical, strives to increase the availability of these tried and tested high-quality alternative medicines with its natural approach to creating compounded medications using various plant-based ingredients.
The company has an extensive portfolio and is gaining a reputation for being one of the leading biopharma companies in the world. "Our company takes a "Back to Nature" approach, believing that you can find some of the best products for patients in nature. So, not only are we using phytocannabinoid-derived products, but we're also using other plants from nature in conjunction with various ingredients to bring the latest immune-boosting supplements to patients," said Roby Zomer, the company's CEO and co-founder. "What we're trying to do is expand our patient base, reach a broader audience, and help more people. The way that we plan to make this happen is through clinical trials and additional research on every product we're producing before it's available to the public. So, we're running tests, keeping track of pharmaceutical data, and ultimately working hard to figure out what works and what doesn't."
It isn't the company's first rodeo. They've completed multiple studies and clinical trials on ArtemiC with SwissPharmaCan to learn about its promising effects on patients diagnosed with the Coronavirus. "During clinical trials, we gathered research on dozens of patients and determined that ArtemiC successfully lessened the symptoms associated with COVID-19, thus resulting in healthier patients. In addition, patients participating in the trial who received the natural medication didn't need hospitalization and typically recovered faster from the symptoms than those without the medication. These were fantastic results to see." shared Zomer. "We currently have a growing base of patients in different parts of the world, including the United States, UK, Europe, India, and Australia. However, we'd like to eventually make our immune- boosting supplements readily available to people in as many countries as possible. We believe in what we're offering because the science and research behind our products provide enough evidence to support the idea of improving patient's health. We utilize our patented MyCell Technology for almost all of our products natural ingredients which enhance the effectiveness due to higher bioavaliability and bioutilization."
The success of ArtemiC in patients with COVID-19 inspired the company and its leaders to continue performing research into plant-derived ingredients that help patients achieve optimal results. "If we can help patients recover from illnesses or receive alternative treatments that improve their way of life, we want to make that happen and make a difference for many people. We believe in what we're offering because we know the public can benefit from these products," said Zomer. As the company continues to perform research and participate in numerous clinical trials while working alongside other pharmaceutical companies and universities, MGC Pharmaceutical has officially launched its ArtemiC supplements to people in the United States, UK, Europe Union, India and Australia.

Halloween Cards: a case of trial and error. Which card do you like best?
Challenge from Case this Sketch!
How are you doing today! Today is a dark, rainy, and gloomy day !! I am trying not to let it get me down because we need the rain! I thought making a Halloween card would be fun. I had this new Stamp set called Trick or Tweet (wood 147725/ clear 147722) from my pre-order from the new Stampin' Up! holiday catalog. Also I wanted to participate in this week's Case this Sketch! #287. So this is what I came up with.
My color combination is a simple one. I chose Basic Black (121045), Calypso Coral (ink 147101/ card stock (122925), and Whisper White (100730).
I thought that a Calypso Coral (122295) strip across the card would be a good start. I decided a 3/4″ strip would be about right. I added the strip and then trimmed the ends to fit. I used my trusty Big Shot (143263) to cut multiple circles. I cut a Basic Black 2 1/2″circle from Stitched Shapes Framelits (145372) and a 2″ circle of Whisper White (100730) from Layering Circle Framelits (141705).
I stamped the caped dog from Trick and Tweet (wood 147725/ clear 147722) with Memento Tuxedo Black (132708) ink. Remember to always use Memento ink when using Stampin' Blends to avoid smearing. I colored the image with my Stampin' Blends including: Light Pool Party (144595), Light Calypso Coral (144042), Light Smoky Slate (145054), and Light Black (147940). I needed to use the Color Lifter (144608) to take the black away from around the dogs eye. I love this tool! I knew I made an oops when I colored the patch around the dog's eye Light Black (147940)! But I could make the eye visible by using the Color Lifter (144608) in the area of the eye…YAY! I layered the Whisper White (100730) circle with the dog on top of the Basic Black (121045) circle. I taped this layered circle with Snail Adhesive (104332) on the Calypso Coral (122925) strip.
I used my Big Shot (143263) to cut the smallest circle 0f my Stitched Shapes Framelits (145372) using Calypso Coral (122925) card stock and cut the smallest Layering Circles Framelits (141705) using Whisper White (100730) card stock. I stamped the small jack o' lantern on the Whisper White (100730) circle. I layered the circles and adhered the circles using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (144108). I stamped "You're Spooktacular"from the Trick or Tweet stamp set (wood 147725/ clear 147722) on the Coral Calypso (122925) strip. I used a few golden tiny gems to add bling around the dog.
As soon as I placed the pumpkins, I decided that I should have placed the pumpkins differently. Three pumpkins seemed to be too much! Of course, the Dimensionals adhered so well that I would tear the paper if I tried to change the position. So I tried this sketch all over again!
This time I used a larger Calypso Coral (122925) strip. I taped a 1 1/2″ strip across the card and trimmed the ends like before. I cut the same size circles but this time I stamped the bird from the Trick or Tweet stamp set (wood 147725/ clear 147722) with Memento Tuxedo Black (132708). I used my Stampin' Blends to color the bird. The colors I used included: Light Pool Party (144595), Dark Daffodil Delight (144585), and Light Calypso Coral (144042). I used "Trick and Tweet" as my sentiment. I like this card much better. What do you think?
Well that's it for today! I hope you will try some of the card challenges out there. There are quite a lot of them. I find them so inspiring! If you need any of these supplies my 24/7 online shop is available!
BIG NEWS: The new Holiday Catalog is going to go live this Wednesday September 5th!! There are some awesome stamps, dies, bundles, papers, and those fun extras available for the Fall and Winter holidays. If you would like a catalog email me at SunnyLuCards@gmail.com with your name and address and I will get one out to you. If you have any questions please let me know. I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator if you need one! I appreciate all my customers.
Every month on the first Tuesday evening is Tuesday Technique Trio. (Except October which will be Second Tuesday October 9th). I will have a new technique to share with you that evening. For September I plan to concentrate on cards using "Simple Shapes and Punches". You can make 6 cards for just $10 or for free with a $25 Stampin' Up! Order. Great for all levels of Stampers. Let me know if you can come!
Thanks so much! I really love joining Case This Sketch! I love the challenge of coming up with new ideas.
