Natives Still Want The Land Fire Station Status In Question

by Michael Hart

On Friday the CHP and Sheriff’s Department checked all cars coming up the hill for chains, turning some back down the hill. S-2 and S-22 where closed to all traffic for most of the day, as was Sunrise Highway, Chains where required on the 79 from the 8.

With chain control in place Friday the view coming up the hill was all tail-lights heading ito Santa Ysabel. Saturday the chain requirement was no in place but we understand the view was similar as all the flat landers tried to make their way to the snow.

The tree was lit, Then Santa arrived and the Town officially said Merry Christmas.

In a letter dated November 22 the Native American Land Conservancy, through theur attorny sent a letter to the County Fire Authority once again stating their claim to the land that the former JCFPD Fire Station 56 is located.

The letter(see below) does not spell out how the building is to be paid for, or if the former JCFPD would be reformed or even allowed to occupy it. It only tells the County to stay out.

The County has maintained all along that as the succeeding fire agency they are within their rights to take control of the property and reopen the Fire Station.

TYhe Court has rukled in the County(and the majority of voters) favor throughout the proceedings to this point.

There is an appeal to be heard on the last case attemting to overturn the election, no date has yet been set for the hearing and briefs have not been filed by either side.

The supporters of the volunteers continue to fill social media with their opinions of the current situation.

The question most are asking is: When will it all end?

Heinlein Senior Deputy County of San Diego Office of County Counsel and Herman Reddick San Diego County Fire Authority Re: Demand to Cease and Desist Activities at Julian Fire Station 56, APN: 292.011-45-00 (-Property”) Dear Mr. Heinlein and Mr. Reddick: It has come to our attention that the San Diego County Fire Authority (re: Authority, has begun performing unauthorized alterations to the Property, including removing lands.pIng and performing renovations to the Fire Station.) The Fire Authority and the County have no authority to take these actions.

The NALC has repeatedly notified the County and the Fire Authority that the Property Is subject to a power of termination in favor of NALC, pursuant to the deed conveying the Property by the Francis H. Mosier Trust. As noted In our previous letter to the County, a Notice of Intent to vacate the Property (see attached letter dated July 10, 2019). The NALC has invoked its power of termination and the Fire Authority is unlawfully in possession of the Property.

The NALC has not authorized any occupation or alterations to the Property or the use and occupation by the San Diego County Fire Authority. On behalf of the Native American Land Conservancy, NALC., we demand that the County cease and desist all activities at the Property and vacate the Property immediately. The NALC will hold the Fire Authority and the County financially and legally responsible for all violations of NALC’s property rights and damages to the Property.

We appreciate your good faith in trying to resolve this matter. Should you have any Questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call the undersigned.

Very truly yours.

NOTICE TO READERS

Featuring the Finest Local Artists

On January 1, 2020 the Julian News will raise the single issue price to $1.00. The reason for this increase is multi facited. The cost of printing the paper has now risen above the single issue price thanks to tarriffs on the paper mills and general economic practices. The cost of postage has also risen, so subscriptions will also be impacted, seeing an increase to $70 per year. Current subscrbers will still receive their weekly editions until their renewal date when they will see the increase.

Over the past few years, reusable plastic shopping bags began showing up in grocery stores in many parts of the world. Because no matter the style of plastic bag, it will still contribute to the global problem of forever-trash entering the environment, and the greenhouse gases associated with manufacturing the bag from fossil fuels in the first place. A new report from the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Greenpeace looking at grocery stores in the UK suggests that the plastic “bags for life” utterly failed to do the one thing they were ostensibly meant to.

But of course, these thicker bags require more plastic to make.

That means they could only improve the overall situation if they led to stores handing out overall less plastic, by volume, than they would without them—by, say, replacing thousands of single-use plastic bags a shopper might otherwise use over the years. Because no matter the style of plastic bag, it will still contribute to the global problem of forever-trash entering the environment, and the greenhouse gases associated with manufacturing the bag from fossil fuels in the first place.

So far in 2019, the top 10 UK grocery stores reported selling 1.5 billion of these bags, which represents approximately 54 “bags for life” per household in the UK. For comparison, the top eight UK grocery retailers—representing over 75% of the market—sold 959 million such bags in 2018.

Some supermarket chains have seen particularly big spikes in sales. The frozen-food store Iceland sold 10 times more plastic “bags for life” this year, 34 million, than last.

The UK introduced a 5-pence charge for plastic bags in 2015, and the government urged shoppers to instead bring their own reusable “bags for life,” which led to a surge in purchasing of the reusable plastic bags from markets.

“Our survey reveals a huge rise in the sale of plastic ‘bags for life,’ demonstrating the inadequacy of the current policy which is clearly not providing a strong enough incentive for people to stop using ‘bags for life’ as a single-use option,” the report reads.

Overall, those same supermarkets increased the volume of plastic packaging they put out—including the “bags for life”—by 18,739 tons (17,000 metric tons) from 2017 to 2018. “It’s shocking to see that despite unprecedented awareness of the pollution crisis, the amount of single-use plastic used by the UK’s biggest supermarkets has actually increased,” the EIA’s Juliet Phillips told the Guardian. The grocery stores’ plastic-footprint increase was caused in part by the reusable plastic bags.

“We have replaced one problem with another,” Fiona Nicholls, a Greenpeace UK campaigner who is one of the report’s authors, told the New York Times. “Bags for life have become bags for a week.”

The bags, the report says, should be banned. Instead, customers could bring their own bags to the market. “When we go shopping, we should remember our bags like we remember our phones.”

I want to thank you for the honor of running for President of the United States of America. It has been an endeavor filled with immeasurable wisdom, passions, humor and insights to, and from, the people of America. I have “lived America” … and will cherish every moment, whether a veteran from a maximum security penitentiary calling to say, “Hey, Joe, the guys have heard you’re running for President, and they want you to know they’re going to organize Philadelphia for you,” or the tears of a transgender youth as she quietly told me she just wants what everybody else wants. I could never pay enough for what I experienced, and the men and women I met.

It’s a marvelous fabric we Americans have woven together throughout the centuries. I know there is a tear in that fabric right now; but it can be repaired by someone who can lead, and therefore unite, all Americans. It’s been done before, beginning with the best, George Washington, as he lay on the ground after battle to sleep in a cloak together with his men even before he was a President who united America. continued on page 12

Enter the Money Smart Kids Contest to Win Big For Your Child’s School

Kids can have fun learning about money management at home and at school.

A smart contest can help.

(NAPS)—If you think your kids could be more money conscious, you’re far from alone. In fact, according to the National Financial Educators’ Council, fewer than one in four children talk to their parents about money with any frequency. Fortunately, teaching kids about managing money can pay off in more ways than one. It can mean thousands of dollars could come to their school and other deserving recipients as part of an inspirational contest.

What It’s All About For the third year in a row, the Jackson Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit with the mission to advance financial knowledge on a national scale, and Discovery Education, the global leader in standardsaligned digital curriculum resources for classrooms, are running the “Cha-Ching Money Smart Kids! Contest” to help elementary students to become financially empowered adults.

Now through Dec. 12, elementary school teachers and families of students in grades K-6 can enter the contest for the chance to win $10,000 for their school, plus an additional $1,000 to donate to charity. The winning school will receive a fun financial literacy event at their school. Entrants pledge to teach kids how to earn, save, spend, and donate.

A fun, engaging path into financial education, Cha-Ching Money Smart Kids! is a financial education program designed to provide critical 21st century skills. Available at no cost to classrooms nationwide, the program provides: • Music Videos and Game—Helping children learn money management concepts with lively cartoon characters from the ChaChing band. Storylines spotlight the importance of earning, saving, spending, and donating. They also help reinforce healthy money habits.

• Classroom Activities—Standardsaligned classroom lessons that pair with the music videos.

• Educator Guides—Enhancing educators’ background knowledge of financial literacy to better equip them to facilitate the classroom activities.

• Family Activities—Offering parents, families, and communities helpful tools to teach their children how to be money smart.

Learn More Further facts and financial literacy resources are available at www. cha-chingusa.org and through Discovery Education Experience at www.discoveryeducation.com.

Customizable Creativity In a matter of minutes, kids can be transported to an imaginative safari where they can create, nurture and collect colorable and washable figures with the Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Safari, intended for ages 3 and older. Using the included kid-powered Oasis Tub with a slide attachment, kids can wash off their pets, customize their appearance using six different Scribble Scrubbie Ultra Clean Washable Markers and create brand new designs again and again.

In addition to the four safari pets included - monkey, elephant, giraffe and lion - additional expansion packs are available that can bring your child's collection to a total of 12 adorable animals.

Keeping the tradition going, the firefighters from CalFIRE and the Fire Authority stationed themselves on the corners of all the intersections in town collecting for the annual holiday toy drive.

Snow Brings Traffic

Pointers On Protecting Your Packages And Property (NAPS)—This holiday season, the Postal Service™ looks forward to delivering a great deal of holiday cheer, along with more than 15 billion mail pieces. The United States Postal Inspection Service®, the federal law enforcement arm of the Postal Service, is working to keep your important shipments safe and prevent mail and parcel theft.

What can you do to ensure your gifts and cards are safe? Postal Inspectors offer six tips to help ensure your important packages reach their destinations and brighten lives this holiday season.

1. Don’t leave your delivered mail and packages unattended. Just as you wouldn’t leave valuables on the front seat of an unlocked car overnight, mail shouldn’t be left sitting in mailboxes or on front porches for any length of time.

2. Going out of town? Hold your mail at your local Post Office. If you plan on taking a trip or know you won’t be able to check your mail for a few days, use the USPS Hold Mail service on usps.com. Your mail will be held securely at your Post Office until you pick it up or request delivery to your home.

3. Plan ahead. Ship using Hold for Pickup. When shipping packages, the Hold for Pickup option means recipients can collect their packages at their local Post Offices. If you are expecting a package, you can redirect it to your local Post Office by selecting Hold for Pickup using Intercept a Package under Track & Manage on usps.com.

4. Customize the delivery. If you know the package will not fit in your mailbox and you won’t be home to receive it, you can authorize the carrier to leave it in a specified location. Visit usps.com, enter the tracking number in Track a Package, and select Delivery Instructions.

5. Secure the shipment using USPS Special Services. Signature Confirmation requires a signature at the time of delivery. For your most valuable packages, you can opt for Registered Mail service.

Registered Mail receives special handling from the time it’s mailed until the time it’s delivered, with documentation every step of the way.

6. Monitor your front door. If you have a home security camera system and you catch any mail thieves in the act, save the video and alert your local Postal Inspectors.

For more great tips you can use not just during the holidays, but all year long, visit: uspis.gov.

You can have a happier holiday season if you take a few simple steps to make sure that all of your cards and gifts arrive safely

The traffic in town was backed up on the highway and sidewalks. The usual snow craziness of cars trying to find parking, perdestrians trying to cross the road or navigate their way around. All day Sturday saw the backups making travel an adventure. For the most part people where polite and respectful... but there was, as always, the few who thought they could act like fools. photo courtesy Eric Jones

How Close Is Too Close When It Comes to Living Near Your Family?

(StatePoint) While you can’t choose your family, you can choose how close you live to them. A new survey suggests some healthy boundaries between parents and in-laws make for a happier family relationship -- something to keep in mind when shopping for a home.

Fifty-seven percent of respondents in the survey from Ally Home, the direct-toconsumer mortgage arm of Ally Bank, say there should be at least some driving distance between where their parents and/or in-

laws live and where they live. An even greater percentage of gen Z respondents (63 percent) -- and millennials (62 percent) -- felt some distance was important.

“We’re deep into the home buying season, and we’re seeing first-hand how excited consumers are to find and then be able to afford the home of their dreams,” says Glenn Brunker, mortgage executive with Ally Home. “But as Ally Home goes through that home-buying journey with them, it’s clear that there’s more than just the house and yard that go continued on page 8

This Is About Cooking And Kitchen Hints

by Kiki Skagen Munshi

Dealing With It Snow! Snow!! Lots of the white stuff… it’s beautiful falling, beautiful on the ground, and the world is quiet…

Especially since we can’t get out our road if there’s any amount of the cold, visible precip. It’s a private road shared by several other houses—most on property the parents sold long ago in a time of need—and doesn’t get plowed unless we residents do it or have it done. Unlike New England—the home of the guest who came to enjoy Thanksgiving in sunny Southern California—we don’t have regular, reasonable, private snow clearing services. Last year the neighbors hired someone for a couple of hundred dollars to clear the road up to their house. Our place is considerably further on and thinking about that option…we decided to stay home until it’s melted down enough to get out on our own. Fortunately, this only took a day or two…

Years ago, in another life, living through winter’s in Ceausescu’s Romania taught us how to drive in snow and on ice. In those dark, cold days Romanians weren’t allowed to drive private cars in the winter — we diplomats weren’t subject to that rule — and the streets weren’t cleared. We slid to work on black ice so a little snow in Julian isn’t a problem once some of it melts. The real problem is the traffic.

We understand that people want to come up and play in the snow.

We don’t understand why they are willing to sit in their cars for ages waiting to get to an overcrowded town to do it. When they do find a place to park — late in the afternoon the Post Office and Library lots were full in addition to everything around town — it’s fun to watch the kids enjoy themselves, which we did as we inched back through town toward home along one of the three back streets in a little work around a Main Street that was a parking lot.

What’s not fun is the few rude, inconsiderate people who make us resent all comers. Sledding in the cemetery and wrecking the gravestones just isn’t civilized. Neither is yelling at homeowners who ask trespassers to leave. And neither is leaving trash.

This is a yearly problem. The merchants here want lots of people to come. The residents would rather they stayed home. A happy medium might be for people to come up and enjoy our very different California weather but be polite about it…and perhaps think twice before deciding to drive up and enjoy the snow from the window of a car stuck in miles long traffic.

4 Ways To Protect Yourself From ID Theft This Holiday Season (StatePoint) ‘Tis the season for holiday shopping. When making purchases online, be sure to protect yourself from becoming a victim of identity theft -- it’s more common than you may think.

With just a few pieces of personal information, thieves can open new credit lines, drain bank accounts and file fraudulent tax returns. The Federal Trade Commission says credit card fraud was the number one type of identity theft reported in 2018, with 167,000 people saying their information was misused on an existing account or used to open a new credit card account. No matter what form it takes, identity theft can cost thousands of dollars and take years to correct.

Below are four tips to help prevent identity theft: 1. Vary passwords: Use a different username and password for each shopping account. That way, if someone steals your information on one account, they won’t be able to go on a shopping spree at other sites, too.

2. Track transactions: Check your statements for any suspicious activity. If you don’t recognize a transaction, contact your credit card company or bank right away.

3. Beware of scams: Watch out for phishing scams in which fraudsters send emails that look like they’re from a reputable company, but aren’t. Avoid clicking on links in emails as they may download malware that can give thieves access to your personal information.

Always visit a retailer’s website directly to make a purchase.

4. Get identify theft insurance: Some insurance companies offer coverage to make the process of undoing the damage from identity theft easier and less costly. For example, Erie Insurance has Identity Theft Recovery Coverage, an affordable option that can easily be added to a homeowners or renters insurance policy.

“When someone uses information about you without your permission, it takes time and money to straighten things out,” said Robert Buckel, vice president of product management at Erie Insurance. “This coverage offers peace of mind to help you restore your credit and make the process -- and your life -- a little easier.”

Protecting your identity may not be top-of-mind during the holiday shopping season, but with just a few safeguards in place, your online security can be greatly enhanced.

Tonight I am beginning to make a pot of chili. It’s really easy, so I’m sharing my method. Begin with a bag or two of dry pinto beans.

I use two bags because I like to have extra to freeze. Place the dry beans in a colander and rinse. Sometimes pinto beans have small rocks in them. Place rinsed beans into a large cooking pot and cover with water at least two inches higher than the beans. Throw in a tablespoon or two of baking soda. The Baking soda will boil up, but I think it is an important ingredient because it keeps us from passing large quantiles of gas after eating the chili. Boil the beans for three minutes and then turn off the heat and put a lid on your beans. Let them soak for at least two hours or overnight. The beans will expand, so cover them with water again, about an inch above the top of the beans. Once they have soaked, turn the burner on medium to low and cook the beans for several hours until they are tender but don’t cook them enough to turn into frijoles… unless you want frijoles. When your beans are cooking the second time, you can add cooked ground beef, chopped tomatoes, chili powder or a packaged chili mix.

Cooking roasts should be easy. My mom taught me to spread mushroom soup over a roast after placing it into a roasting pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with water to help keep the roast wet. This gives you a beginning of gravy. Even with this useful hint, my roasts always came out dry. I didn’t learn until a year or so ago that when a roast is done cooking, it’s good to let it sit out of the oven, undisturbed for at least five minutes. When cooking a roast, you cook the juices out of it.

When you let it sit undisturbed out of the oven for at least five minutes.

As the roast cools, the juices go back into the roast. I like to cook a roast that is bigger than we need for that meal so I will have left overs for sandwiches, tacos or burritos.

When making bread pudding, rice pudding, quick breads or anything else that you bake with fruit in it, cover the fruit with flour while mixing your ingredients. This keeps the fruit from sitting on the bottom of your treats. Chuck Kimble taught me that.

Aluminum foil is extremely useful. When I was a kid and a young adult, we put it on antennas to improve radio or TV reception. When I bake cookies or anything that needs a flat baking pan; I cover the top of the pan with Aluminum foil so the pan stays clean. My mother taught me to cover the edges of crusts when I bake any kind of pies.

This keeps the edges from burning. Some pie edges love to burn.

If you cover the top ends of bananas with Aluminum foil, it will slow down ripening. You can clean your barbecue grille with a wad of Aluminum foil. Clean silver with aluminum foil, though it may leave some scratches. If you line your deep cabinets with Aluminum foil, it will reflect light into the dark corners.

I keep a nut cracker in a kitchen drawer to open small lids like soda bottles.

Though I can’t think of the last time I needed to chop a block of ice, I keep an ice pick in a kitchen drawer because it seems to come handy from time to time.

When making beef stew I cut the stew meat into bite size pieces.

I dredge the raw meat, meaning I coat it in flour. I cook the meat in some vegetable, olive, or other cooking oil for at least five minutes on each side. I add water and chopped vegetables and bring it to a boil. I then drop the temperature and simmer it for about two hours.

The vegetables I add are usually potatoes, with or without the skins, carrots, but not too many because the stew will get too sweet, onions which are actually best if cooked with the meat to bring out their flavor, celery, green beans and sometimes I add sliced mushrooms. I never use baker potatoes because I like to freeze leftovers and bakers don't freeze well. I like white or yellow potatoes in my stew.

These days we aren’t supposed to use or reuse plastic water bottles. I use them often. I like to refill them with water which I keep in the refrigerator, or I keep the lid loose allowing water expansion and I sit them upright in the freezer until they freeze. After that they can be in any position in the freezer. When we have power outages, the frozen bottles of water keep our food frozen and when we need something to drink or water to wash our hands we thaw out a bottle of water. Because of the frozen bottles of water kept throughout our freezer, we didn’t lose any food during our five day power outage. I read that the more we fill our freezers, the less energy they need to keep our food frozen. During power outages, I found out that the more full our freezers are, the less food we might lose.

Do you know why we are instructed to grease AND flour a pan before pouring cake mix or other mixes in? Well, the flour helps the baked item, a cake for instance, slide out of the pan. The grease helps hold the flour in place.

Frosting cakes on top of a plate or platter looks neater if you place two pieces of wax paper under the cake first. Overlap the wax paper pieces in a way that they can be pulled in opposite directions at the same time. Frost your cake and feel free to be messy because when you are finished, you can pull out the wax paper and your plate or platter will look neat.

These are all things I’ve learned through the years from people who I listened to when they wanted to teach me things to improve what I thought I was doing right.

I am especially grateful to my mother, my maternal grandmother and my first mother-in-law. They all helped me be a better cook.

These are my thoughts.

Arts Education Paints More Than A Pretty Picture

by Kathryn Baron

When schools cut art programs to save money, kids from low-income families pay the biggest price in lost motivation, lost opportunity, and lost life skills.

Until recently, 11-year-old Sinai dreamed of playing pro basketball.

Now, he also imagines becoming an artist. What makes this shift so surprising is that until last year, the dark-haired, serious fifth grader had never done art. At home he had never finger-painted, colored in a coloring book, or drawn chalk pictures on the sidewalk. His school had offered no arts and crafts either – no Play-Doh, painting at an easel, or making collages with dried macaroni and glitter.

“Before, we didn’t have art and we weren’t creative. Now I want to come to school,” says Sinai, a sixth grader at Taft Community School in Redwood City, California.

When Robyn Miller became principal three years ago, Taft had no art classes.

Despite its proximity to the gated grand estates of Silicon Valley, nearly three-quarters of Taft’s 500 students are eligible for free and reduced price lunch. Like thousands of schools serving predominantly low-income, African American and Hispanic children, Taft eliminated the arts to balance shrinking budgets years ago.

If arts education were simply an extra, like a pretty picture hanging on a classroom bulletin board, then losing it could be written off as just another regrettable fiscal reality. But recent studies show that arts education builds a critical cognitive bridge between acquiring continued on page 13

Get Inspired To Give Back This Holiday Season

(Family Features) For many, the holiday season sparks the spirit of giving - not only among family and friends, but to those living in need and the organizations working to help them. If you're committed to helping improve the lives of others in your community, it may mean thinking long-term.

After the lights come down and the New Year's ball drops, the programs and services provided by most nonprofits and cause-based organizations continue to run year-round. Their ability to help those they serve not only relies on meeting a single season's fundraising goals but also on the ongoing commitments from donors who provide the financial stability they need to plan and grow. These five tips can help your gifts provide long-term benefits for the causes you support: Make a personal connection. Hand-deliver your donation to a local chapter and introduce yourself as a supporter. Even consider bringing your kids to inspire generations of giving. Inquire about how you can make the greatest impact and learn about ongoing events and opportunities to get involved.

Spread your contribution over time. If a strict monthly budget has you concerned about breaking the bank, consider signing up for a recurring donation to benefit those served by an organization like The Salvation Army throughout the year. A $25 monthly gift can feed 126 people over the course of one year or provide 11 nights of shelter for those in need in your community.

Introduce co-workers to the cause. Many businesses support employees' volunteer efforts and match contributions, which makes it easy for you to become a champion for cause-related work in your community. Gathering colleagues who share your passion for a cause is a team-building activity that allows you to build personal connections with people you might not have a chance to interact with regularly otherwise. Sharing the load also means you can take turns volunteering, attending events or making contributions for a larger overall impact than you could make on your own.

Give the gift of giving. Rather than giving material goods, consider a meaningful contribution in your gift recipient's honor. Or share an experience to benefit the cause: spend date night volunteering or gift someone tickets to a nonprofit organization's performance or gala event.

Pay it forward with younger generations. Introducing kids to the joy of giving can pay dividends for decades to come. Teach the little ones in your life about the big impact they can make by letting them get hands-on. Kids delight in getting to donate loose change, by dropping it in an iconic red kettle, for example (this year, you can even donate through Apple Pay or Google Pay) and you can take advantage of their interest by explaining the impact of their donation. An average of 82 cents of every $1 donated to The Salvation Army goes directly to help neighbors who need it most.

Donations to nonprofit organizations are tax-exempt no matter when they are contributed during the year.

Learn more about giving opportunities all year long by joining the Fight for Good at SalvationArmyUSA.org. *** To label me an intellectual is a misunderstanding of what that is.

Answers on page 12

When Thanksgiving is over, the most prominent reminders of the holiday are the abundant number of leftovers in containers in my refrigerator. Don’t waste those delicious leftovers -- remix them!

With some creativity and safe food handling, you can enjoy turkeybased meals that make delicious use of your leftovers.

Anytime you prepare, cook and store food, you must practice safe food-handling methods to be sure your leftovers are safe to eat. During mealtime, don’t let the turkey or side dishes sit out for more than two hours after cooking.

Remove the meat from the turkey.

Freeze the turkey bones to make homemade broth.

For safe storage, put away leftovers in shallow, air-tight containers in the refrigerator immediately. Shallow containers allow leftovers to cool faster, preventing growth of harmful bacteria.

Unless you freeze the leftovers,

be sure to use the turkey and stuffing within 3-4 days. Leftover gravy should be used within 1-2 days. Other cooked dishes can be stored up to 4 days.

Frozen leftovers should be labeled, dated and stored at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below and used within 3-4 months. Turkey in gravy or broth, or other cooked turkey dishes can be frozen for 4-6 months. Stuffing and gravy can keep up to 1 month in the freezer.

When you reheat the turkey, stuffing or gravy, make sure it reaches a

temperature of at least 165 F. Here are two ways to enjoy your leftover turkey.

The Retirement Balancing Act: Safeguarding Your Retirement Nest Egg As A Caregiver (NAPS)—According to the U.S. Census, by 2035, older generations are projected to outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history, thus increasing the need for caregivers. Millions of adults, including Boomers, are already taking care of loved ones and facing new realities that require sacrifices to provide care.

Research from the Bankers Life Center for a Secure Retirement shows that among Boomers who expect to be future caregivers, nearly all (92%) are willing to make lifestyle sacrifices in order to provide that care.1 And although awareness about the need for retirement care is growing, Boomers remain financially unprepared.

According to the study, onethird (30%) of Boomers who are caregivers have had to tap into their own nest eggs to support the care of a parent or loved one.

National Family Caregivers Month is a great time to develop a plan that balances retirement planning and longterm caregiving. Here are three steps to take to ensure you’re financially prepared: 1. Develop a budget.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services estimates that Boomers will face an average of $138,000 in long-term care costs over their lifetimes. Though this cost is simply an average, it may fluctuate depending on your health as you age. Plan ahead and create a budget that addresses both your retirement needs and possible expenses, including costs related to necessary home modifications.

2. Consider long-term care insurance.

Long-term care insurance can help save thousands in caregiving expenses. It’s a good idea to have a conversation with your loved ones to discuss insurance options. This ensures

Bankers Life is the marketing brand of Bankers Life and Casualty Company, Medicare Supplement insurance policies sold by Colonial Penn Life Insurance Company and select policies sold in New York by Bankers Conseco Life Insurance Company (BCLIC). BCLIC is authorized to sell insurance in New York. that the costs are not transferred over completely to you.

3. Don’t know where to start?

Get help.

With so many details to consider, enlist support.

Professional financial advisors can shape a personalized plan that prepares for retirement and accounts for unforeseen expenses. Bankers Life, a national life and health insurer, offers tools and resources that can help protect retirement nest eggs from the high costs of longterm care.

There are options available for nearly any income and asset level, age, or risk tolerance. It is never too late to seek help and develop a better understanding of how to prepare for the future.

Tips To Protect Your Winter Wardrobe (StatePoint) If you are like many people, your winter wardrobe requires a bit of extra care. Between fine cashmere sweaters, favorite woolen outerwear and your snazziest cocktail attire, your special care garments should look as crisp at the end of the season as they do today.

Unfortunately, winter often brings with it slush, mud, salt and other threats to fabrics. To protect your winter wear affordably, consider the following tips: • Be smart about footwear: On wet or slushy days, tuck pants into durable, waterproof boots.

Any delicate footwear should be brought along in a waterproof bag and changed into at your destination -- or protected by waterproof shoe covers.

• Use at-home dry cleaning:

Many winter items carry tags that say “dry clean only” or will shrink when washed. Slash dry cleaning expenses up to 90 percent and skip the hassle and harsh chemicals by opting for athome dry cleaning. Using your own dryer and the right product, you can safely and thoroughly clean your special care clothes at home without experiencing fading, shrinking or stretching.

In the case of Dryel -- which works in as little as 15 minutes

for a quick refresh and in 30 minutes for a deep clean -- the heat of the dryer activates a cleaning solution that removes body soils and odors from clothes, and a fabric protection bag maintains the optimal balance of cleaning agents and heat, allowing the steam to work through the clothes, and then slowly vent vapors out of the bag and dryer. This is a convenient, cost-effective way to treat such gear as sweaters, jeans, hats,

suits and more.

• Fight stains immediately: The more quickly you deal with stains, the better, so be prepared with a stain pen wherever you go, and, try to launder items that have been soiled as soon as possible. A stain pen, such as the kind provided by Dryel, can also be used at home to pre-treat garments before cleaning them.

• Know when to hang vs. fold: A big part of keeping winter continued on page 12

Now that Black Friday has come and gone, we are well into the season of shopping for new clothes. It’s time for buying special clothes for holiday celebrations and additions to our winter wardrobes as well as clothing for gifts.

Normally, we are most concerned about the style, fit and price of the clothes we buy but in recent years, there has been a growing concern about purchasing clothing that is made in ways that take into consideration the welfare of the laborers who made it and of our environment.

The clothing industry represents three percent of the global economy generating $2.5 trillion per year and employing hundreds of millions of people.

The choices consumers make does have some influence on how those workers are treated.

In the last 20-30 years, consumers have become more aware of “sweatshop” conditions in many transnational companies. Sweatshop workers are forced to work long hours, in unsafe working conditions for less than adequate pay.

Sweatshops also take advantage of child laborers. The companies that make clothing in the U.S. generally have greater oversight and compliance with labor laws so buying locally made items helps prevent abuse. We can also make a difference by purchasing clothing from companies that have a good track record of following labor laws.

We generally don’t think of the production of clothing as a factor in global warming but estimates are that it’s possible that as much as 10 percent of global carbon emissions are generated in producing and selling clothing. It is important to be informed about whether the materials used in the garments are produced in ways that are sustainable for the future.

In addition to being aware of the problems related to clothing production, it is important to consider what happens to clothing when we are done with it.

One way to impact the clothing industry is to buy fewer items overall and be intentional about buying things that will last longer than a season, things that will still be useful as a secondhand item.

In 1930, the average American woman owned around 9 outfits and today that figure is closer to 30 outfits.

Before the industrial revolution, people bought fewer items of clothing and expected their clothing to last. Today, it is common to wear a garment as little as one to five times before discarding it. Many of those items end up in landfills.

Nearly 24 billion pounds of clothes and shoes are thrown out each year. Discarded clothing is accumulating in landfills at a rate of one garbage truck full nearly every two minutes. Synthetic fabrics don’t biodegrade completely and contribute to microplastic pollution in our water and soil.

We can decrease the amount of discarded clothing by purchasing secondhand clothes from estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores and websites like e-bay.

Donating clothing in good condition to thrift stores is a good way to decrease waste but thrift stores can only accommodate about 20% of what is donated to them. The rest is sold in bulk to resale merchants primarily overseas. In the past, China was the main market for used clothing but now they are accumulating their own excess of used clothing to dispose of or sell. The overseas market can no longer absorb this huge volume of clothing which includes items that in the end are discarded as too worn out to sell.

Fortunately, new companies are coming up with creative ways to use castoff clothing to make new products. There is a company that turns old T-shirts into patchwork quilts. A company in India cuts up old saris and uses the fabric to make purses.

...and mittens to donate to a shelter.

Other survey findings included: • Call First Before Popping In: Thirty-seven percent of respondents agree family should not live close enough to just pop in and say hi. An even greater percentage of millennials -- 42 percent don’t like the idea of the unannounced pop-in.

• Adults Need Their Own Space: Almost two-thirds of Americans say that while they love their adult children, they don’t want them living with them.

Millennials don’t like how things are trending, either. They worry more than any other age group that at some point they will have

their adult children, their parents or in-laws living with them.

• Proximity is a Top Stressor: The survey also presented respondents with a number of stress points and asked which ones ranked top when dealing with family. Thirty-eight percent of respondents named “living

within five minutes of parents or in-laws” as their top stressor, outranking “cooking a complicated meal for a mother or mother-inlaw” and “hosting family for the holidays.”

A rectangular stamp was glued onto a souvenir postage card, bought and mailed by tourists.

Metallic Postcard

Postcards are among the most popular inexpensive collectibles today, perhaps because they are easy to find. But they require time and searching to create a special collection. Postcards are wanted for the postmark, the stamp, the message or the picture on the front, and they can be framed and hung or displayed in scrapbooks.

Although an English postcard was mailed as early as 1840, the first U.S. postcard wasn't printed until 1873. The earliest picture postcards mailed in the U.S. probably were cards sold at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. A printed stamp was used on early postal

This postcard, with a divided back for the address and a message, is printed in metallic gold. The Thanksgiving turkey is a raised metal addition. It’s rare and by an unknown maker.

21 times between 1872 and 2000, going from 1 cent to 21 cents. Today it is 35 cents.

Collectors also can date a card from its design. The "divided back" era began in 1907. "Linen" cards that had texturized paper for better color printing were popular from 1931 to 1959. "Chrome" era postcards featuring Kodachrome photographs started in 1939. The craze for collecting postcards began in 1946, and there were clubs, stores, sales and research for collectors buying postcards.

This unusual card, featuring the side of an attached metal turkey, seems great for a Thanksgiving message, but the raised turkey would not allow it to go in the mail. It's part of a group of cards that have strange attached or moving parts known as "mechanicals." It also has a divided back, suggesting a date as early as 1907. The postcard has an old price tag of $20. *** Q: I bought a green

Thanksgiving plate at an auction and am curious to see its value.

A colonial couple is pictured on the front, and underneath it says: "Speak for yourself, John." There are four other scenes around the border. The back of the platter has a picture of pilgrims, and underneath it says: "Pilgrim Exiles" and "Colonial Times by Crown Ducal, England." Can you help?

A: Crown Ducal is used on some pieces of porcelain made

by A.G. Richardson and Co., Ltd., of Tunstall and Cobridge, England, beginning in 1916. The Colonial Times series was made in the early 1930s. It includes 12 different designs and was made in several colors, including blue, brown, green, mulberry and pink.

Plates were made with scalloped or smooth edges. A square plate also was made. Colonial Times plates sell for $25 to $50. *** CURRENT PRICES Egg beater, tin and steel, wood

® Dear EarthTalk: You don’t hear much anymore about the cutting of our forests to make paper. Has this destructive practice just moved overseas where we don’t have to confront it, or have increases in recycling in recent years made paper production less destructive?

– J. W., Greenville, SC It’s true that saving paper (and in turn saving trees) used to be a big discussion topic at home, school and office, but these days you don’t hear much about it. This is likely because paper recycling has become ubiquitous; most of us are now well-versed in how to sort recyclable paper from other “waste.”

According to the American Paper and Forest Association (AF&PA), upwards of two-thirds of all paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for recycling in 2018. What this means is that a lot of the paper we use now gets made with recycled materials that don’t cause more logging and deforestation.

A big player in this march forward has been the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an international non-profit that sets standards on forest products and then certifies and labels those that meet the standards as eco-friendly. Another major factor has been the establishment of guidelines set forth and agreed to by 200 governmental and other entities in 2014’s New York Declaration of Forests (NYDP), an international agreement to “end natural forest loss” by 2030.

Despite this progress, deforestation for paper still continues unabated in Indonesia and other parts of the developing world where government oversight is non-existent and profit incentives are too great for illegal loggers to ignore. Some 10 percent of global deforestation (a major driver of climate change) is due to logging for wood products including paper, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).

UCS reports that clearing tropical forests and replacing them with mono-cultural plantations of so-called “fastwood” trees like acacia, partly to make virgin paper, accounts for more deforestation across Indonesia than more infamous environmental bogeymen like palm oil production and coal mining. “This is particularly harmful because about a quarter of fastwood plantations were cleared on carbonrich peat soils,” reports UCS, “adding significantly to global warming pollution.”

Beyond recycled paper itself, there are some promising alternatives to wood pulp as a feedstock for paper production. Some well-known alt-paper feedstocks include fiber crops like bamboo, kenaf, hemp, flax and jute, agricultural scraps such as sugarcane bagasse, corn husks or straw, and textiles left-over in the production of fabrics and rope. A newer entrant in the green paper alternatives playing field is calcium carbonate—literally rock dust—which is made by pulverizing construction waste and fusing it together with plastic before compressing it with massive rollers into its final paper-thin form.

What about, you might ask, the rapidly-growing digital age we find ourselves in now? Isn’t that saving trees? Yes, but consider the electricity load of all the computers, tablets and phones, as well as the server farms and network switching facilities that keep your e-mail inbox full and your Facebook feed full of new content. They’re largely powered by coal and other fossil fuels. Our addiction to digital information might just be taking a larger toll on the planet than if we still got our information the old-fashioned way—from actual books, magazines, newspapers and printed reports.

The forests of Indonesia are still falling to feed the world's demand for paper products.

Check out this crop of games that help with critical thinking and strategy while providing a heavy dose of fun. that matches exactly one symbol on every other card. The object is to be the first one to find the most matches from the cards you are dealt. Matching pictures on cards — how hard can that be? Harder than you think (sometimes the size of the symbols change), and it’s all a matter of speed. You can play with up to eight people, and Hoot Owl Hoot since there’s no reading involved, Ages: 4 and up even kindergartners can get It turns out that not every game into the action. The game also has to result in winners and includes instructions for four losers. In Hoot Owl Hoot kids additional games. Packaged in work together to figure out how a small tin and requiring little to get the owl back to its nest space to play, it’s the perfect before the sun rises. Each player travel game for the whole family. gets three cards and moves an owl token toward its nest based on the color on the card. If the player draws a sun card, the sun moves one step closer to sunrise.

The goal is to get all of the owls (as many as six) back to the nest before the sun token hits full sunrise, so sometimes planning is involved — like deciding which owl will get closest to the nest with a particular card. Aside from building self-esteem and cooperative skills. Hoot Owl Bottom line: This fast-paced Hoot introduces kids to the idea game is great to take on the road of strategy, problem solving, and and will grow with your kids. turn taking. No reading required, so even the youngest family members can join in.

Bottom line: A simple, fun game that uses team play to bring out the best in everyone.

Count Your Chickens Ages: 3 and up Count Your Chickens, another cooperative-play game from the folks who make Hoot Owl Hoot, uses a spinner to move chickens to the coop. The goal is to get 40 chickens in the coop before the game is over. Of course, there are obstacles along the way, this time in the form of wily foxes that steal chickens from the coop. If you don’t get all 40 chickens in the coop, just try again! Another bonus is that games from Peaceable Kingdom are environmentally conscious and use minimal packaging and paper (the instructions are printed on the box, for instance).

Bottom line: A cooperative game that’s simple to learn, but with enough interest to keep kids coming back.

Spot It Ages: 6 and up Spot It puts a unique twist on matching games. Each of the 55 round cards has a symbol on it

5 Second Rule Ages: 10 and up Name three people you might find in a hospital. Piece of cake, right? Well, try to do it in five seconds — that’s the premise of 5 Second Rule. If you can do it, you win a point. If you only manage to blurt out “doctor” and “nurse,” the play moves to the next person to try to come up with the three people. But the catch is they can’t use either of the two that the first player said.

So the play goes around the room until someone is able to name three people you’d find in a hospital (and by now it’s pretty much a sure thing that everyone in the room will be laughing so hard they won’t be able to speak even if they have the answer).

Time is kept by a big yellow timer that makes a great noise as the balls fall.

Bottom line: A face-paced word game that will definitely get the party started.

Dweebies is a strategic, delightfully designed card game in which each player tries to collect the most cards. Kids will start to learn probability as they try to determine if another player will scoop up a row of cards before they do, based on how many of each card type is included in the deck. Up to six people can play, and in this game, the more the merrier.

Bottom line: Cute cartoon characters and simple rules create a fun and unpredictable game.

Kabaleo Ages: 8 and up If you love strategy, speed, and game pieces that make a satisfying clacking noise when you play them, check out Kabaleo. This quick, actionpacked game requires players to bluff their way to domination by hiding the very identity of their color as they place cones on a board. It takes planning, skill, and just a touch of cunning to plot a path to victory.

Bottom line: Kids will have to put on their best poker face to win this game of strategy.

Word on the Street Junior Ages: 8 and up This word game stands apart because you can spell any word you want (you’re not limited by any particular group of letters), as long as it fits within the category on the card you pick. So if the category is “Something that runs,” players could say cheetah, dishwasher, or athlete (you have 30 seconds to come up with a word). The goal of the game is to be the first to get eight letter tiles on your side of the road (a letter

moves toward you each time you use it).

At its most simple level, Word on the Street Junior helps kids practice spelling and categorization, but it also requires strategic planning in picking the right word for the right situation. When played in teams, the game has additional benefits. It teaches collaboration since each team must decide on its word before the time runs out.

It’s also inclusive since even the kids who aren’t ace spellers can participate.

Bottom line: Great game for kids with a mix of skills and strengths to play together.

Cubulus Ages: 8 and up Part croquet (ok, that’s a stretch, but you do push your opponents ball out of your way), part 3-D tic-tac-toe, Cubulus is a multisensory experience that can be played with two or three players. Each player gets nine balls of a particular color, and the goal is to form a square with four of your balls on one side of the satisfyingly squishy cube. But you have to pay attention, because when you push your ball into the cube, you may be pushing your opponent’s ball into a winning square. This game is a great work out for spatial processing and critical thinking. It’s also fun and deceptively challenging.

Bottom line: Smart strategy game that is almost as fun to hold as it is to play.

Pathwords Ages: 12 and up A combination of a word search and puzzle game, Pathwords gets increasingly challenging as you move along. The goal? To fit the colored pieces over the words in each puzzle so that all of the letters are covered. Sound easy? Not so fast — sometimes the words are backwards, which can be tricky: “equip” didn’t look like a word when spelled “piuqe.”

This is a single-player game and it can be quite addictive. Of course kids who want to play together can swap games or help each other out with each puzzle.

There are a total of 40 games, from beginner to expert.

Bottom line: An addictive word game that also requires.

Try something different for the kids this year. Board games that stimulate and inspire, and that mom, dad and the granparents can join in!

California Commentary

Hidden Agenda In Masquerading Big Bond Measure

by Jon Coupal

In a bit of irony, this March there will be a Proposition 13 on the California statewide ballot.

But unlike the landmark taxpayer protection of 1978, the Prop. 13 of 2020 will put taxpayers on the hook for $27 billion.

There’s another big difference between Prop. 13 (1978) and Prop. 13 (2020). The first was the result of a massive grassroots campaign by citizen taxpayers and homeowners striking back against out-of-control property taxes while the fake Prop. 13 was put on the ballot by the California legislature.

Prop. 13 (2020) is a huge $15 billion statewide school bond chock full of hidden traps for taxpayers. First, it reflects typical credit card math by Sacramento politicians because it would borrow $15 billion from Wall Street and then make taxpayers pay it back plus 80% in total interest costs. That’s an additional $12 billion we’ll be forced to pay, bringing the entire bill to $27 billion.

While no one disputes the need for adequate school facilities, the problem is that the state’s education establishment has failed to show that it uses existing school facility bond money effectively. California voters already have approved big school bonds, including a recent 2016 $7 billion measure, only to see much of those funds squandered. (Remember the infamous Belmont High School scandal when LAUSD wasted hundreds of millions building the nation’s most expensive high school on top of a toxic waste site?)

But this measure also presents a huge threat to homeowners.

While it is true that the bond itself will be repaid out of the state’s general fund, local school districts are required to provide matching funds except on very rare occasions. Those matching funds are generated by local bond measures which are repaid exclusively by property owners.

Currently, there are strict limits on how much bond debt local school districts are allowed to carry. But a hidden provision of Prop. 13 (2020) nearly doubles

the limits school districts can borrow. This means huge increases in property taxes are a near certainty. Who pays property taxes?

We all do, either directly in property tax bills or through higher rents and other costs. Unlike the Prop. 13 from 1978, this Prop. 13 puts all taxpayers at risk of higher taxes.

There are other hidden landmines in this bond proposal including a preference for school construction projects that employ a “project labor agreement.”

This gift to the construction trade unions can easily add 25% to 30% to the cost of school construction and freeze out responsible construction companies. That additional cost is money that could be spent building and refurbishing more school projects that benefit our children.

Of course, the real problem here is that the governor and legislature have failed to make the actual education of California’s youth a priority. Instead of spending the state’s $21 billion surplus on upgrading school facilities and providing high quality education for our children, the governor and the legislature are wasting our money on pet projects like high speed rail. That surplus money could have gone into solutions for our education system without new debt.

California’s schools are consistently ranked near the lowest in the country.

Rather than throwing $27 billion into school construction projects, our state needs a long-term solution to achieve a high standard of excellence in reading, writing and math. To do that we must reform teacher tenure, make it easier for school districts to fire bad employees, ensure more taxpayer dollars go directly into the classroom, restore the exit exam and expand school choice.

The fake Prop. 13 appearing in March does nothing to improve classroom instruction or help our children succeed. *** Jon Coupal is the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA).

It's an icon of the stage -- and the screen, with more than 50 known film versions of the play. Of course, it's also been published too many times to count, and in too many different formats. One in particular stands out, though; in 2009, Czech bookbinders and artists Jan and Jarmila Soboda created their own unique edition.

It's a tiny script tucked inside a plastic skull housed in a small metal casket with a hinged lid. * If you're planning a holiday in Paris this year, keep in mind that in that city it's against the law to spin a top on a sidewalk. *** Thought for the Day: "One does not advance the swimming abilities of ducks by throwing the eggs in the water."

Again, thank you for this priceless opportunity as I end our campaign together. Without the privilege of national press, it is unfair to ask others to husband their resolve and to sacrifice resources any longer. I deeply appreciate the support so many of you offered -- whether by volunteering, offering financial contributions or coming to our campaign events. I will

miss the opportunities I had in experiencing America in such a wonderful way!

With my deepest appreciation, please accept my final note of service to you …

Deliver Happiness, Earn Money, This Holiday Season (NAPS)—An increasing number of people in the United States—some 17 million a year according to the experts at the American Staffing Association— are earning extra income in new and creative ways during the holidays and beyond.

Temporary Jobs Available If you or someone you care about would like to be among them, there could be good news for you.

You—and your car—can get a great job delivering presents and other packages during the holiday season—and you don’t even have to be Santa Claus to get the work.

As a Personal Vehicle Driver with UPS, you’ll enjoy a fastpaced, physical position that gets you outdoors and connecting with customers. It’s a full-time opportunity to work eight hours a day, five days a week, Monday through Friday or Tuesday

Arts Education

continued from page 5 knowledge in school and putting it to use in the real world.

“Art isn’t memorization, it’s a way of thinking, and creativity is often a significant component,” explains James Catterall, a retired UCLA education professor and founding director of the Centers for Research on Creativity. “It encourages asking questions, it encourages taking some risks, and it encourages collaborative work.”

Having art in school is valuable for all students, but research suggests it’s especially critical for low-income children whose parents can’t afford to take them to museums with hands-on art activities or pay for after-school art classes at the community center. These children are often deprived when it comes to artistic activities that teach them a different way of thinking than what they are exposed to in their academic classes.

Miller wanted to restore art at Taft, but the school didn’t have the money to hire a credentialed art teacher. She found an affordable alternative in Art in Action, a non-profit organization based in neighboring Menlo Park, which had been implemented

successfully in her previous district.

Schools pay a $200 licensing fee, about $10 per student per year, for each class that uses the program, which focuses on visual arts. For that, they get access to online curriculum with 12 lessons each for Kindergarten through eighth grade. Thanks to a network of thousands of parent volunteers who teach art in their children’s schools, the organization keeps its costs down.

“With this program, we’re getting volunteers who have been trained (and have) the passion and excitement to bring to the kids each week,” says Miller. “We’re giving (students) an opportunity to explore creatively and have their imaginations soar and be innovative, maybe even in solving problems.”

She says Art in Action supports these connections because its lessons are aligned with the new Common Core standards in math, reading, and writing, and can be tailored to fit the curriculum in all other subjects from history to geography.

Math and the Underground Railroad “What is four times four?” parent Michele Haussler asks

How Much Will This Holiday Season Cost You? (StatePoint) According to one unique and whimsical economic indicator -- The PNC Christmas Price Index -- “true loves” will find all is calm when putting the gifts under the tree this holiday shopping season.

To purchase the gifts included in the classic carol, “The 12 Days of Christmas,” it will cost just 0.2% more than it did in 2018, according to the 36th annual holiday economic analysis by The PNC Financial Services Group. While Pipers Piping and Geese-a-Laying are unlikely to be on your gift list, most years, the price changes of the goods and services accounted for in the PNC Christmas Price Index closely mirror those in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, making this a useful and fun way to gauge your holiday spending year-to-year. For the full report, visit PNCChristmasPriceIndex.com.

Holiday shoppers everywhere take note -- there is no reason to be a grinch this year.

Sinai’s class at Taft. “Sixteen,” they answer in unison.

She holds up a small square of pink construction paper and demonstrates how to fold it into four and then into 16 equal squares.

As the students fold their own paper squares, Haussler tells them about the African American artist Faith Ringgold, now 85-years-old, who is best known for her quilts depicting stories of race and racism. Ringgold’s work was influenced by quilts made by slaves in the South that had coded symbols sewn into them.

The kids are rapt as Haussler describes how slaves would hang the quilts on fences as if they were drying laundry, but they were actually signposts guiding runaway slaves to freedom in the North.

The high cost of cutting art When kids are engaged in high-quality arts education, “not only is there a difference between how they act during art classes and lessons, but it seems to spill over to more engagement in school generally,” says Catterall.

The stats on the importance of arts education confirm Catterall’s observations. Schools with dynamic art programs have higher attendance rates, stronger morale, and better test scores than other schools, according to a 2011 report from the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.

Catterall’s 2012 analysis of students at high-income and lowincome schools with and without arts education found that, across the board, students at schools with strong art programs do better in nearly every respect.

The benefits are especially significant for poor children enrolled in arts-rich schools.

Twice as many attended fouryear colleges or universities, compared with poor kids at schools without much art. And they were three times as likely to earn a bachelor’s degree.

They were also less likely to drop out. Perhaps unsurprisingly, low-income students from artsrich schools were found to be more engaged overall — more involved in sports, clubs, and volunteering, and more attuned to current events.

Double-edged sword When teacher Judy Sleeth founded Art in Action in her child’s school district in 1982, arts education had been decimated in California by Proposition 13, the 1978 ballot measure that led public schools to lose billions in funding almost overnight. Today, Art in Action reaches about 50,000 students in more than 200 schools in 19 states, from California to Florida.

Over the next three to five years, the program plans to nearly double the number of students it serves. But not all agree that organizations like Art in Action are the best way to get arts education into schools.

“We would never want to see an outside arts or culture organization replace an arts teacher,” says Doug Israel, director of research and policy at the Center for Arts Education, which advocates for professional art teachers in every New York City Public School. Ultimately, however, Israel says Art in Action

and similar programs are “a benefit for students and better than no arts.”

Teachers are keenly aware of those benefits. At Taft, fifth grade teacher Jessica Kwa says she’s already planning to use the Faith Ringgold lesson when they start working on fractions.

“It’s definitely easier for them to have something to refer back to,” says Kwa. Art also has something of a transcendent effect on her students, some more than

others. She recalls a boy named Joel who missed homework and disrupted class. Art in Action changed him.

“I was surprised because I hadn’t seen him so meticulous with any work before,” says Kwa. “I immediately jumped on that opportunity to praise him, recognizing his strengths.”

When he got stuck on concepts in math and started to give up, she would refer to art class to remind him of his capabilities.

Over time, Joel made those

*** If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

— Henry David Thoreau ***

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) While it seems that chaos is taking over, you get everything back to normal, even if it means being more than a little assertive with some people. Expect to hear more job-related news soon.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Expect to be able to move ahead with your workplace plans now that you have a good idea of what you might have to face. You also can anticipate a welcome change on the home front.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A quieter period settles in, giving you a chance to catch your breath, as well as allowing for more time to handle some important family matters. The arts dominate this weekend. Enjoy them.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The frustrations of last week have pretty much played themselves out. You should find things going more smoothly, especially with those allimportant personal matters.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Once again, you find a creative way to resolve a pesky problem in short order. However, a matter involving a possible breach of confidence might need a bit more time to check out.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Reuniting with an old friend could lead to the sharing of some great new experiences.

But be careful you don't find yourself once again being supercritical or overly judgmental.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You should be seeing some positive results following your move toward repairing that unraveling relationship. There might be some setbacks, but staying with it ultimately pays off.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CHANGE OF NAME

PETITIONER: RABIYA ADAN MOHAMED and on behalf of: HALIMA HUSSIEN MOHAMED, a minor HAS FILED A PETITION FOR AN ORDER TO CHANGE NAMES FROM: HALIMA HUSSIEN MOHAMED, a minor TO: HALIMA ADAN MOHAMED, a minor

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Encouraging a friendlier environment in the home could go a long way to help dissipate anger and resolve problems, especially those affecting children. It won't be easy, but you can do it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A recent act of kindness is beginning to show some unexpected (but very welcome) results. On another note, expect to hear more about a possible move to another locale.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The good news is that the sure-footed Goat can rely on his or her skill to get around obstacles in the workplace. The not-so-good news is that new impediments could turn up later.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A change of pace is welcome but also confusing.

Before you make decisions one way or another, be sure you know precisely what it is you're being asked to do.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Don't fret if you don't get the gratitude you think you're owed for doing a nice thing for someone. There might be a good reason for that. In any event, what's important is that you did it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making the sort of wise decisions that ultimately shed new light on dark situations.
