WILD SWAN THEATER PRESENTS “TREASURE ISLAND”
ANN ARBOR - Wild Swan Theater continues its 35th season of
bringing the finest in professional theater to area families with a
rousing production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate
tale, Treasure Island. Adapted for the stage by longtime Wild
Swan playwright, Jeff Duncan, Treasure Island spins a tale of
swashbuckling adventure, complete with brawling pirates, buried
treasure, and heart stopping feats of bravery on the high seas.
The story is told through the eyes of young Jim Hawkins (Jeremy
Salvatori), who finds a treasure map amongst the belongings of
the recently departed Billy Bones. Bones is staying at a remote,
English, seaside inn run by Jim and his mother (Michelle Trame
Lanzi) when he meets his death at the hands of another pirate,
Mad Dog. In the company of Captain Smollett (Bradley Hamilton) and Squire Trelawney (James Cech), Jim sets off on a perilous sea adventure aboard the Hispaniola. Unbeknownst to this
trio, the entire crew of the boat are actually pirates, disguised as
regular sailors under the command the Long John Silver (Nick
LaGrassa) who is pretending to be the ship’s cook.
Jim overhears the plotting pirates after the ship is underway and
shares his dreadful news with the Captain and Dr. Livesey.
When land is spotted, the plot thickens as each group tries to
outwit the other, find the treasure first, and survive the dangers of
the island and the enemy. Other cast members include Sandy
Ryder as Blackbeard, Peter Knox as Ben Gunn, and American
Sign Language performers Shelly Tocco and Jamie Fidler.

The Health Benefits of Cranberries

PL ENE WSL E T T E R T O:
Cranberries are also called “bounceberries” because
they bounce when ripe. Only three fruits – the blueberry,
the Concord grape and the cranberry (all powerfoods) –
can trace their roots to North American soil. The cranberry is versatile. They are commonly consumed during Thanksgiving and Christmas but can, and should, be
used every day.

Did you know? The estimated value of cranberries
grown in the United States is several hundred million dollars. Native Americans treated a variety of illnesses, including bladder infections, with cranberry preparations.
Nutritional Tips: Cranberries are high in vitamin C, and
have antioxidant and antibacterial effects in the body.
Benefits of the Cranberry:
 Cranberries are a rich source of the flavonoid
quercetin which can inhibit the development of both
breast and colon cancers.
 Preliminary studies show that drinking cranberry
juice is good for the health of the heart.
 Research indicates that cranberries are an excellent
source of antioxidants which may protect against
cancer, heart disease and other diseases.
 Found to decrease production of cavity and plaque producing bacteria in your mouth.
 Also found to reduce the bacteria associated with peptic stomach ulcers.
 In clinical studies, cranberries have been shown to help maintain a healthy urinary tract.
 Cranberries are especially beneficial to the eyes (they significantly improve symptoms of cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy).
 Evidence on how cranberry juice fights bacteria that cause urinary tract infections.
But…The health benefits of cranberries are almost totally depleted when generous amount of sugar is added. Thus the
cranberry cannot provide you with its full phytonutrient benefits when there has been lots of sugar added.
Further health explanation of what cranberries do: Cranberries contains natural chemicals that act as antibacterial
agents and preventing E. Coli which is the bacteria largely responsible for urinary tract infections, from sticking to the
walls of the urinary tract. The chemicals in cranberry juice flush the E. Coli from the body during urination thus it is not
able to cause an infection. Cranberries contain quinic acid which prevents calcium and specific phosphate chemicals
from binding together. These two binding together is what forms kidney stones thus preventing kidney stones.
Sugar and cranberries: 1 cup of fresh cranberries contains about 50 calories. 1 cup of cranberry sauce
with sugar contains over 400 calories.
♥ VegWeb.com has free thousands of cranberry recipes: beans/legumes, brunch, casseroles, desserts, beverages,
dips/dressings, breads, dishes, pasta, salads, rice/grains, snacks, soups/stews, holiday/events, etc. ♥

Wishing you the happiness of good friends, the joy of a happy family, and the wonder of the
holiday season. Have a magical thanksgiving! ~Sandria Graham~
