Purrfect Time for Pets! Pet Health 101 Pets on Patrol May is Pet Month at USCL and we’re bringing you programs to help care for your pets, support the rescue and care of homeless pets, and discover how animals are a big part of our community! On Thursday, May 2nd at 6:00 p.m, USCL invites you to help us kick off Pet month and join the discussion about pet health with a Lincoln Highway Animal Hospital veterinarian. You will find out how to best care for your furry companions during the hot summer months to come, the importance of prevent- ative care, and flea and tick prevention. There will also be a question and answer session with the veterinarian at the end of the program. Everyone is welcome to attend and there is no registration for this program.

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. He works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. He discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago and Reds like him are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . .even if it means he has to become one of them to do so. Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things— her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable and Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her fans grow, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.
