Pioneer Museum Puts On Founders Day Demonstrations

Fall Sports Schedules Cross Country

The pioneer museum celebrated “Founders Day” by providing those interested with some historic displays and hands -on experiences in Pioneer Park on Saturday.

USDA Offers Food Safety Tips For Areas Affected By Power Outages In California The Julian Library would like to invite children and their families to a special book-signing event featuring a local children’s book author, Barbara (Ayosea) Morse. Her book, Tales from Squnch Valley, offers stories about sensitive little creatures, called Squnches, who emerge from their shells in a magical place called Squnch Valley. Children will identify with the Squnches as they face similar challenges in their lives. Teachers and therapists will also find the stories in Ayosea’s book delightful and useful as teaching tools for children of all ages. Ayosea’s daughter and son-inlaw are Krisie and Bobby Morgan. They are active members of Julian’s Doves and Desperadoes theatrical team and are excited to showcase their mother’s newly published book to the Julian community. Please join us on Saturday, November 9th at 1:00 p.m. at the Julian Library. Children will be treated to one or more of the stories narrated by the author. Attendees will be invited to move and dance to the stories if desired. Autographed books will be available for purchase. We hope to see you there.

Jim Wood got a full send off from the American Legion in front of over 200 in attendance to pay their respects Saturday. They were treated to son Jeff’s stories of his dad’s exploits.

One recent morning at Gateway High School in San Francisco, the kids in Laura D’Amato’s ninth grade humanities class were hunting for evidence. The assignment? The class recently started a research project on social movements around the world, and that morning they were reading articles on their topic and taking notes. As D’Amato quietly circled the classroom, checking notes and answering questions, the students pored over articles, looking for evidence to support their theses. Their final papers will be three pages long, but they’re required to write six pages of notes (eight pages for honors students). “We’re in the information gathering phase at this point,” D’Amato told the class. “We’re putting the net out and gathering as much evidence as possible.” Parents can expect to hear the word “evidence” a lot under the new Common Core State Standards — beginning in the earliest grades. As the standards are rolled out in schools across the country, even very young children will be expected to provide evidence to demonstrate how they know what they know. In kindergarten, for example, students may “show evidence” by pointing to pictures in a book they’re reading. In math, they may stack blocks to show that three plus three equals six. By the fourth grade, kids will be asked to write argument papers with multiple reasons for their opinion, each with concrete pieces of evidence.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2019 — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing food safety recommendations for those who may be impacted by wildfires in California. The National Weather Service predicts critical to extreme fire weather conditions in southern and northern California. Due to the predicted extreme weather conditions, Pacific Gas & Electric and San Diego Gas & Electric said they are considering proactively turning off power in these regions for safety(which they did). PG&E had already began cutting power for more than 2 million homes and businesses Saturday, including 1.3 million in the Bay Area. PG&E warned that these outages could last longer than 48 hours. For planning and safety purposes, consumers should prepare for outages that could last several days. Severe weather events such as wildfires that lead to power outages can compromise the safety of your food. Without electricity or a cold source, food stored in refrigerators and freezers can become unsafe. Bacteria in food grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 and 140 °F, and if these foods are consumed, people can become very sick. Knowing what to do before and after a weather event can help you reduce your risk of illness. By following these guidelines, you can also minimize the amount of food that may be lost due to spoilage. Steps to follow in advance of losing power: • Keep appliance thermometers in both the refrigerator and the freezer to ensure temperatures remain food safe during a power outage. Safe temperatures are 40°F or lower in the refrigerator, 0°F or lower in the freezer. • Freeze water in one-quart plastic storage bags or small containers prior to a hurricane. These containers are small enough to fit around the food in the refrigerator and freezer to help keep food cold. Remember, water expands when it freezes, so don’t overfill the containers. • Freeze refrigerated items, such as leftovers, milk and fresh meat and poultry that you may not need immediately—this helps keep them at a safe temperature longer. Know where you can get dry ice or block ice. Have coolers on hand to keep refrigerator food cold if the power will be out for more than four hours. • Group foods together in the freezer—this ‘igloo’ effect helps the food stay cold longer. • Keep a few days’ worth of ready-to-eat foods that do not require cooking or cooling. Steps to follow if the power goes out: • Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. A refrigerator will keep food cold for about four hours if the door is kept closed. • A full freezer will hold its temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if half-full). Place meat and poultry to one side of the freezer or on a tray to prevent cross contamination of thawing juices. • Use dry or block ice to keep the refrigerator as cold as possible during an extended power outage. Fifty pounds of dry ice should keep a fully-stocked 18-cubic-feet freezer cold for two days. Steps to follow after a weather emergency: • Check the temperature inside of your refrigerator and freezer. Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, seafood, eggs or leftovers) that has been above 40°F for two hours or more. • Check each item separately. Throw out any food that has an unusual odor, color or texture or feels warm to the touch. • Check frozen food for ice crystals. The food in your freezer that partially or completely thawed may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is 40°F or below. • Never taste a food to decide if it’s safe. When in doubt, throw it out. FSIS will provide relevant food safety information for power outages on Twitter @USDAFoodSafety and Facebook. FSIS’ YouTube video “Food Safety During Power Outages” has instructions for keeping frozen and refrigerated food safe. The publication “A Consumer’s Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes” can be downloaded and printed for reference during a power outage. Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or live chat via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Consumers can also browse food safety messages at Ask USDA or send a question via email to MPHotline@usda.gov.
