Astronauts add room on ISS; spacecraft to study sun
Compiled by Susan Walden
The astronauts now have a room with a view at the International Space Station.
Crew members on Space Shuttle Endeavour and the ISS got their first look inside the orbiting outpost’s newest module and cupola Feb. 12.
The 13-day mission delivered a connecting module that increases the space station’s interior space node 3, called Tranquility, which provides additional room for crew members and many of the station’s life support and environmental control systems. Attached to the node is a cupola, which is a robotic control station with six windows around its sides and another in the center that will give the astronauts a panoramic view of Earth, celestial objects and visiting spacecrafts.

Tastee Donuts – best donuts around
Susan Walden
If you’re hankering for the best donuts you’ve ever tasted, or for that matter just about any bakery treats, you’ve got to go to Tastee Donuts.
Owner Leonard Whalen is tasting sweet success with his new business at 4950 S. Washington Avenue in Titusville, just south of the U.S. 1 and SR 50 intersection.
“I’m originally from Cincinnati and my dad owned bakeries there,” he said. From the time Whalen could walk, he helped his dad and learned all about the bakery business as he grew into a man. Over the years he’s worked at several bakeries, which he says has helped him become a supreme baker.
“But about 95 percent of my recipes come from my dad’s bakery – great recipes that date back from the 1950s and 60s too.” CONTINUED

Feeding those less fortunate

This is an annual project that ended Feb. 5. The club focuses on service to the community. The Kiwanis Club has served the Titusville community since 1923.
