Pathways Provides For A Merry Christmas

Celebrating By Doing Good

The generosity of donors from this year's boot drive was converted into tons of toys for the kiddos of Julian. We had the honor of helping wrap the toys this past weekend-on behalf of Santa of course! Thanks to Julian Pathways and the Julian community for making this happen and allowing us to be a part of the magic.

Many thanks to Cal Fire for continuing this tradition and to all our Julian neighbors for stepping in to help on their day off!

Journalism’s future depends on how Americans view its contribution to democracy and their communities.

The vast majority of Americans value their right, as well as that of the press, to question authority figures. But only a third have a lot of confidence in their own ability to challenge leaders if needed.

This is a key insight that emerges from a new American Press Institute survey conducted in collaboration with the NORC at the University of Chicago. Amidst a backdrop of polarization and distrust in institutions, including journalism, we sought in December 2018 to understand who feels they can make a difference where they live, what barriers might stand in the way, and how it relates to attitudes and interactions with journalism.

The findings released today suggest good news for those who value the First Amendment. More so than other recent studies, the research shows most Americans view holding political leaders accountable as an important function of the press’s job. It also finds a majority of Americans value their own right to question leaders in politics, business, and their community.

Yet the results also raise concerns about whether people in today’s confusing media environment feel they can make a difference as citizens. In particular, the results indicate people are unsure about whether they can make an impact in their community and country, including when it comes to holding the powerful accountable. Some Americans, roughly 2 in 10, feel they can make life around them better, both in their immediate vicinity and in the U.S. writ large. Others are less likely to feel that way. And most people do not feel they can hold true to the rights the First Amendment enshrines: they do not feel they could question authority figures if needed.

The influence of the changing media environment is discernible as well. More Americans say they think they understand important national issues rather than local issues. Those who seek out news and those who pay for news are more likely to say they understand issues than those who do not. But these specific media behaviors do not have significant effects on people’s perceived efficacy, who feels they can make an impact and who does not.

From the findings: - The public believes holding political leaders accountable is an important job of the media, combating other narratives. Previous research, including our own earlier in 2018, has shown modest-ifnot-low support for the “watchdog” function of the press. When the question was asked differently, however, about the press “holding political leaders accountable,” the results were different. Nearly 3 out of 4 Americans (73 percent) say this is very or extremely important.

That is a 19-percentage point jump from our question last year about the watchdog role, suggesting the need for more research.

- The public also says its own right to question authority figures is important. Thinking of the rights to free speech and petition in the First Amendment, we asked people if they felt the broader “right to question” leadership of different kinds was important. It is indeed — over 3 out of 4 Americans (77 percent) say it is very or extremely important to question political leaders and nearly the same (74 percent) say the same about community leaders. Although the public is slightly less likely to value the right to question business leaders, still 64 percent say it is very or extremely important.

- At the same time, the public does not feel it can adequately question authority on its own. Many people value their right to challenge authority, but do not have a lot of confidence in their own ability to question leaders if needed. For example, about a third of Americans feel very sure they could question political leaders (34 percent), with another third feeling moderately confident, and the remaining third not all that confident. Even the people who most value their right to question leaders feel limited, with only 4 in 10 (41 percent) saying they are very confident in their own ability.

- More generally, many Americans feel they can make at least some difference in where they live, especially locally. Thirty-nine percent of people think they can make a large or moderate impact in their local community. That compares with 27 percent who think they can do that on the national level.

- But people are more likely to say they understand important issues facing the country than they do their community. Most Americans feel their agency resides more immediately around them, but people are more likely to say they understand national issues rather than local ones (78 percent vs. 72 percent). Moreover, people are more likely to put greater confidence in how well they know national issues — e.g.

37 percent of Americans say they understand national issues very well versus 28 percent saying the same about local issues.

- Demographics appear to matter. African Americans are more

NOTICE TO READERS

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.

From The Supervisor’s Desk

Notes from Supervisor Dianne Jacob Scenic showcase: I was so honored and pleased to take part in the recent grand opening of the Santa Ysabel Nature Center.

The 6,000-square-foot attraction showcases our beautiful backcountry and ties together the county’s efforts to preserve more open space and make it accessible to the public.

It’s the first attraction of its type in the region and I think it will be a huge magnet for residents and tourists. It has a lot to offer — educational displays, interactive touch screens, Wi-Fi, electric vehicle charging stations and a new trail that links to a broader network of paths.

It is at 22135 Highway 79, on the Santa Ysabel Preserve.

Helping seniors: Great news on the health front -- Every single major healthcare system in our region recently pledged to create senior-friendly emergency departments.

Providing accredited, improved geriatric care in local ERs would be a huge step forward in making sure our oldest San Diegans get the right kind of help they need, when they need it most.

Thank you West Health, UCSD Health, Sharp Healthcare, Scripps Health, Alvarado Hospital Medical Center and others for teaming up on this critical issue.

Horse play: Thanks to a recent Board of Supervisors vote, the Lakeside Equestrian Center is a big step closer to saddling up.

The board approved $4.5 million in initial funding to build the equestrian park on a 13-acre site at Willow Road and Moreno Avenue.

It is expected to open in 2021.

After years of discussion and planning, the community is finally getting an equestrian facility, and it's going to be a good one.

The Mellow Downs were created as a recording band. John Flynn and Mark Jackson who had worked on previous projects together wanted to write original blues songs and create an album as an art piece. Mark gathered together a heck of crew - The great “Bad Brad” Karow with a huge San Diego blues and American roots background going back 30+ years, on drums. Gary Hutcheson on bass. Gary has played tight and groovin bass in rock and blues bands in L.A. and San Diego for 40 years. The fantastic Tom Mann (a Southern California blues legend) playing many styles of blues and jazz piano as he has been doing for decades. Mark Jackson is the singer and harmonica player in this group and is a highly talented song writer, crooner, harmonica player and all around blues man. John Flynn, San Diego blues and roots guitar player who has been on the scene for 25+ years and for the first time has begun writing original songs.

Together this band recorded over the last year at Camp Karow Studios. The album which will be released in January of 2018, was recorded live with no overdubs or editing. The Camp Karow Studio captured a very natural and raw sound which we hope folks will like.

The band is beginning to play shows now to support the album. The Mellow Downs name is an offshoot of a great Little Walter song called Mellow Down Easy. We hope the name conjures a mid-century style and feel, which as a band we prefer.

My Thoughts

by Michele Harvey

My Cousin Marjie

by Kiki Skagen Munshi

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! (… and, of course, a Happy New Year)

…and so it’s time to inflict the annual Christmas missive on all victims possible. Following our practice of delegating the work, it was written by one of the cats again this year. If you wish to communicate with the author, send messages addressed to “Tabby Two” c/o The Julian News.

My name is Tabby Two and I am a little shy and this is my very first Christmas letter and I hope you like it.

This has been a good year for me. I finally am overcoming my fear of the Dreadful Goldie and am feeling more comfortable in the house.

Please, don’t misunderstand—I love being outdoors where I can catch delicious little animals and sleep on a tree branch but it’s quite nice being inside. I like to sit on my PH’s (that’s Personal Human’s) lap while she does her e-mail and occasionally am able to advise her on what to say. And when my PH isn’t sitting in the chair in front of the computer, I sleep on it. The chair, that is. The computer is Off Limits. Something about computers and cat hair I don’t really understand but the only real problem for me is the transition from lap to chair and back again—a bother but it isn’t a really big deal. Truly.

The PH has been good about not being away too much this year.

She went to the East Coast (all these places sound very exotic and far away and it is hard for a little California cat like me to imagine what they are like) to visit friends in Washington, DC, which is the capital of our country, in case you didn’t know, then in Philadelphia and Massachusetts. The friends in Massachusetts also visited here but at different times. Apparently they come different parts of Massachusetts (what a funny, long name and not at all easy to spell) which I hear is a big state and has lots of snow. That was February which is winter here, too.

We had snow here, too, but not much. I like it at first, all soft and white and fun to bounce in but then it gets cold and wet and isn’t nice at all. Here in California, the snow turns into water and then it’s muddy, a time for us cats to sleep in the house and stay warm.

So the PH also went to Romania where she and Mihai, a Romanian friend, led a wine tasting tour. Why people like wine so much is beyond me but I had to admit that they seem to feel the same way about mice.

Humans are so funny! Anyway, they had a wonderful group of friends, I hear, and went exploring to places like the Danube River which, one of them said, wasn’t blue at all, and climbed into the attic of a Very Old church to hear an organ up close and ate a lot, of course, besides drinking lots of wine. My PH likes to eat. I tell her that if she chased ground squirrels instead of trapping them she’d be nice and slim like me though (I don’t say this because I don’t want her to feel bad) she’ll never be as soft and furry.

Anyway, back to traveling.

The third big trip was when she left in her white car and drove to Seattle to see The Kid (who also visited us here; she’s a very nice Kid) and meet some English friends. They came with her to visit us, which was nice as they are good cat loving people.

Other friends came to visit and a lot of people drop by. I… well….disappearing is what I do on these occasions. One never knows even though my PH SAYS all these people are kind and like cats and wouldn’t hurt me but…I can’t help being a little shy, being small and soft.

The horses are well and sort of fat. Even fatter than the PH who hasn’t ridden them at all this year.

Apparently a bad ankle and bad knee…she does hobble a lot on occasion and sometimes says things not fit for one’s ears when she stands up because of that knee…but she says she’s going to get back on Ben or Hidalgo one of these days. Haiduc is, she says, sick and has a heart murmur though I see him galloping in to get food regularly and have to wonder just how sick he is. The Boys (the horses) have been coming up to the big old pear tree outside the house fence almost every day for months and months on their morning and afternoon Pear Patrols so I have gotten to know them rather well. Hidalgo offered to let me ride him if I wouldn’t hold on with my claws but I’m not sure how I could possibly climb up there without using them. Do you think he knows that? I wonder….Hidalgo has been very pleased all summer as it seems the PH visited the farm where he was born in Romania this year and met someone who knew his mother. Imagine!

The PH stays busy when she’s at home. She says her singing voice was damaged by the whooping cough she had last December (she was SO sick we all worried about her) but we couldn’t really tell the difference. We pretended though—it’s the kind thing to do.

Lots of friends come over, she goes to the World Affairs Council meetings down the hill quite regularly, to various things and meetings and spends a lot of time on e-mail and she complains that she never gets anything done. If she didn’t play solitaire (I notice these things from her lap) she might be more productive (as she says) but then I wouldn’t have the lap to sit in as much. Probably not, at least. continued on page 8

14 October 2005 Marjie, The occasion of you receiving a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award for founding and pushing P.A.V.E. (Parents Active for Visual Education) to international success, gives me the opportunity to tell you that for me, your entire life has been a success.

You came into the family when I was a skinny, girl child who had no self-confidence. At every family gathering you let me know that you were glad I came. You always wanted to know what’s new in my life, and you always listened.

You’ve been my personal cheerleader for as long as I can remember.

You help me build self-confidence, and you are the first to congratulate me for my successes.

When I was a teen, not quite old enough to sit with the grown-ups at holiday dinners, you sat near me, saying it was more fun. For me, it was a lot more interesting, and I felt more important because you, an adult, preferred sitting near me. You may never know how those small events added to my self-esteem.

Growing up a middle child, I was seldom sure where my place was in the world. You have always shown me that I have a place in your heart.

Phoning you isn’t always easy because you are often too busy to answer the phone. Yet, when we do manage to talk, you give me all the time I need from you, or that I want to spend with you.

A lifetime achievement award is a very special honor to receive.

However, I look at it as the work you’ve done for the success of P.A.V.E. and also as a testament to you as a complete person. You achieve through your own hard work and long hours, and you inspire others to accomplish whatever they dream. Through knowing you, I know that if I want to do a thing, I can. Frustrations are a part of life.

You taught me to get beyond life’s frustrations and just keep pushing forward.

I’ve been given an 81/2” x 11” piece of paper to tell you how much you mean to me. A small piece of paper to tell you how much I admire you. A small space to write 50 years of gratitude. You always make me feel important. You always inspire me by being Marjie. By the way you live your life; you are the affirmation notes in my life.

When I was a child I loved you for what you taught me to be. That will never stop. I love you with the love that comes of knowing you for nearly 50 years. You are so positive, and you have such a quick beaming smile; I often carry you with me.

I hope that when I die; you will get up and speak about me. I know you will say nice things because that’s who you are. That’s what you do. You are always positive and smiling.

I wrote this letter to my cousin Marjie in October of 2005. It now rests in a family book that was given to Marjie the night she received her lifetime achievement award. The book is full of notes from people whose lives were changed for the better like mine was, because of Marjie.

Marjie received a lifetime achievement award in October of 2005 for beginning P.A.V.E. and persevering to make it known around the world. As I recall, she was deeply involved in P.A.V.E. activities for eighteen years before retiring. P.A.V.E. has made a big difference to many people and to many families for over twenty years. Children who have 20/20 vision may still have vision problems. Mine did and because of Marjie the vision problems were found and corrected.

Marjie found this out with her own son and that was the beginning of her thoughts about starting an organization to help children to learn by correcting their vision problems.

Marjie died two months after receiving her much deserved award of terminal cancer. I spent time with her during her last days and I’m sure that time meant a lot more to me than it did to my comatose cousin.

My wish for this time of year is that everyone has a Marjie in their life. I hope everyone has someone in their life that believes in them and who encourages them. I wish everyone could have someone in their life who always smiles and never criticizes them.

I loved my cousin Marjie and I wish she could still be here, but I know she left when it was her time to go.

These are my thoughts.

Does Your Child or Teen Experience Migraines?

What to Know (StatePoint) The pain and symptoms that accompany migraines can be debilitating. For children and teens, it can mean missed school days, absence from social or sporting events and activities at home.

To evaluate migraine treatment in children and teens, new guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the American Headache Society looked at two areas: acute treatments to stop or lessen pain and other symptoms during a migraine, and treatments to prevent or reduce how often migraine attacks occur.

“The good news is that there are effective treatments for children and teens for migraine attacks when they occur,” says guidelines lead author, Dr. Maryam Oskoui, McGill University, and an AAN fellow.

Based on the guidelines, continued on page 11

My mother made a fruitcake every Christmas to give as a gift for my paternal grandmother. The cake was stored in a corner of the refrigerator for weeks, marinating in an alcohol-infused mixture.

Even though I’m well known for my love of sweets, that green and red candied fruit-studded, boozy brown confection never tempted me.

For a while, fruitcakes fell out of favor, but it seems that everything old is new again, because fruitcakes are making a comeback ... as energy fuel for hikers!

“You’ve got a perfect food for a hiker who’s trying to go the distance,” said Brenda Braaten, a nutritionist who also bakes fruitcakes and owns Little Haven Hiker Services in Belden, California. “You’re close to the same calories per gram in a fruitcake compared to a Snickers bar or a trail bar, but you’re miles ahead on iron, magnesium, calcium,” she said. “The mineral content is higher.”

Old fashioned as they are though, Christmas cakes are for those of us who love the traditional foods of the holidays every bit as much as the newly invented confections.

And while it’s true that some fruit cakes are hard to love, others are a glamorous and -- yes -- delicious offering that reflects cherished customs and flavors that have been passed down for generations.

The first Christmas cakes were created in Britain and began life as something else entirely. Around the 16th century, during the early

days of Christmas, a porridge was made to which dried fruits were added. By the 1800s, with the availability of flour, eggs and sugar, that simple cereal treat transformed into something more sophisticated.

Over time, bakers spun the recipes into light and dark cakes, full of dried and candied fruit, or versions containing only nuts.

France’s interpretation of a Christmas cake was a fussy, beautiful Buche de Noel. The recipe differed from tradition because it didn’t contain fruit. Instead, a

Windsor Chair

The Windsor chair was introduced in England in the late 17th century, and it was about 50 years later, around 1730, that the first American Windsor chairs were made in Philadelphia.

The American makers created different styles of Windsors.

They all had a shaped wooden seat made of a single thick piece of wood, spindles used for a back and perhaps arms. There were splayed legs that were inserted into holes in the seat. The Windsor gradually changed into a captain's chair with no spindles and a low back. Windsors were made of several types of wood chosen for properties like strength for the legs, pliability for the top of the back, and easy

carveability for the seat. Then they were painted a single dark color. If there is a hole in the seat, the chair probably was converted to a potty chair. Rocking chairs can be early chairs with added rockers or 18th century chairs

There was an old note found taped to the bottom of this birdcage rocker when it was put up for sale at a James Julia auction. It traced the chair back to a Massachusetts woman who was hung as a witch.

made with original rockers. You can tell by the way they are attached.

There are tips to telling the age and origin of an authentic chair. An English chair will have a splat in the back and may use cabriole legs. It has a lower back than an American chair. Older American chair seats are about 18 inches from the floor; later ones are lower, about 16 to 17 inches. The number of spindles in the back is a good gauge of age: The more there are, the older the chair. Nine spindles is a very old chair. The chairs are named for the shape of the back. This is a birdcage Windsor with rockers that may have been added. It was made in the early 19th century in Massachusetts.

The auction estimate at a James Julia sale was $500 to $700. *** Q: I have an antique hand mirror made by the Unger Brothers. It is set in silver. The back is decorated with raised

likely than whites and Hispanics to believe they understand important issues and can make an impact (44 percent vs. 25 percent and 23 percent, respectively). Older adults tend to believe they have a better understanding of national issues than younger adults (41 percent vs. 32 percent), while younger adults are more likely to believe they can improve their country (33 percent vs. 22 percent).

- Basic media behaviors in today’s environment relate to understanding and competence talking about important issues, but not perceptions of efficacy.

We looked at how two aspects of media usage might relate to people’s feelings about impact: whether they seek out news and whether they pay for it. Both factors influence whether people say they understand important issues and if they feel qualified to discuss them, but they do not significantly relate to people’s perceived ability to make change where they live. For example, 42 percent of people who pay for news say they understand important issues compared with 31 percent of those who don’t pay for news, but those who pay for news are not significantly more likely to say they can make a difference where they live (43 percent vs. 35 percent).

Overall, the results suggest a complicated picture of civic engagement today. However, we can say that the public, despite its critiques of today’s journalism, may find at least some common cause with the press. People value providing a check on power. But they may not all feel empowered to carry out that function, or more simply improve the places they live. And though it is unclear the extent to which interaction with media affects people’s perceptions of their influence in the public square, the press must find common cause with the public. For as advertising plays a smaller role and public and philanthropic support a larger one, more of journalism’s future will depend on the public’s assessment of its contribution to democracy and their communities.

About the study NORC at the University of Chicago conducted the study in collaboration with the American Press Institute, working together on the survey questions, methods, and analysis. NORC and API are part of a longtime research collaboration, the Media Insight Project, that is designed to inform the news industry and the public about various important issues facing journalism and the news business. NORC fielded the survey December 13-16, 2018 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews were conducted with 1,067 adults, and the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

This survey was conducted with the support and partnership of Democracy Fund, a bipartisan foundation that for several years has made general operating grants to API. The relationship began with funding to study the effects of fact-checking journalism and now supports API’s wider work to understand audiences, build reader revenue, improve accountability journalism and succeed at organizational change.

Both Men And Women Resolve To Tackle Disorganization In 2020; Women Report Feeling More Stressed By Its Effects (NAPS)—If you’re ever determined to finally streamline your office “to do’s” and make a dent in your inbox, or committed to finding a way to keep the kids’ toys out of the way of unwary feet, you’re not alone. A recent national survey of more than 1,200 individuals conducted by the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) for its annual Get Organized & Be Productive campaign revealed that a full 31 percent of respondents are putting “getting organized” on their list of New Year’s resolutions. While the data shows both genders on board with this idea, it also showed that for women, the ramifications may be more significant.

GO Month evolved as recognition that many view the fresh start implied by a new year as the time to finally tackle the disorganization in their lives— at home and on the job. The survey was designed to probe how feelings of disorganization impact men and women.

“People have different levels of tolerance for disorganization in their lives, and what is acceptable for one person may be intolerable for another,” NAPO Executive Director Jennifer Pastore Monroy, CAE observed.

“This was particularly true for women.”

What The Survey Showed While half of all respondents said that when they feel disorganized, they find it hard to

concentrate on current projects, more female respondents reported feeling stressed from feeling out of control of their environment than did men.

Specifically: • Thirty-six percent of women said that looking at how organized or disorganized their home is, they feel stressed or completely stressed compared to only 22 percent of men • More than half of women respondents (53.7 percent) report disorganization leaves them unable to concentrate on the work at hand, vs only 45 percent of men.

• 35.5 percent of women vs 22 percent of men wished at some time for someone to come continued on page 10

California Commentary

How To Read Your Property Tax Bill

by Jon Coupal

Californians are keenly aware that we bear a heavy tax burden.

Progressives claim that the tradeoff is low property taxes, but that’s just not the case.

California ranks 17th out of 50 states in per capita property tax collections. What can be said about Proposition 13 is that it has made property taxes reasonable, not low.

For most property owners, tax bills were due last week and many were surprised that the increase was more than they anticipated. But that isn’t because Prop. 13 isn’t working, it’s because there are far more items listed on property tax bills than ever before. It’s important that taxpayers know how to read their property tax bills.

When reviewing your tax bill, the best place to start is to pull out last year’s bill and do a sideby-side comparison. For most California counties, the property tax bill will show three categories of charges. They are the General Tax Levy, Voted Indebtedness and Direct Charges and Special Assessments.

The General Tax Levy is what most people think of when talking about property taxes. It is based on the assessed value of land, improvements and fixtures.

This charge usually makes up the largest portion of the tax bill and it is the amount which is limited by Proposition 13.

The annual increase in the General Levy of Assessment should be no more than 2 percent, unless there have been improvements to the property, like adding a room to the house.

However, if a property had previously received a “reduction in value” reassessment under Proposition 8, the taxable value may go up more than 2 percent to reflect the recovery in the market value. But remember, in no case will the taxable value be more than the initial Prop. 13 base year plus 2 percent annually from the date of purchase.

The second category of charges is Voted Indebtedness.

These charges reflect the repayment cost of bonds approved by the voters. Local

general obligation bonds for libraries, parks, police and fire facilities and other capital improvements are repaid exclusively by property owners.

Because a minority of the population is required to pay the entire amount, the California Constitution of 1879 established the two-thirds vote for approval of these bonds.

In some counties, parcel taxes may appear under this second category of property exactions even though parcel taxes are rarely used to repay debt. Parcel taxes are taxes on property ownership but are not imposed as a percentage of taxable value.

Although there is no upper limit on the amount of parcel taxes you have to pay, they remain — for now — subject to Prop. 13’s two-thirds vote requirement.

The third type of levy found on the typical property tax bill is for direct assessments. These are charges for services related to property such as street lighting, regional sanitation, flood control, etc. Because of Prop. 218, property owners must be given a meaningful say in approving new assessments. Before an assessment can be imposed or increased, property owners must be informed in writing and must be given the opportunity to cast a protest vote on the new charge.

Finally, in order to control how much bond debt and direct assessments appears on your bill, pay close attention to your ballot in the upcoming election.

There are hundreds of bond and tax proposals throughout California. Some may be worthwhile. Most are not.

For more information regarding property tax bills go to HJTA. org. If you have a question about your property tax bill you can contact your county assessor or county tax collector, or call the government agency responsible for each levy on your bill. It’s your money and you have a right to know that your bill is 100% accurate. *** Jon Coupal is the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA).

® Dear EarthTalk: What is the Degrowth movement all about and how can I get involved?

-- P. Warren, Baltimore, MD Degrowth is an aspirational term describing a way of life where economic expansion is deprioritized, resulting in stronger social bonds between people and within communities, greater economic equality and far less environmental degradation. Proponents decry the current economic/social paradigm of “faster, higher, further” as harmful to nature, given its relentless race to extract and monetize natural resources. They also abhor its competitiveness, stress and exclusion at the expense of the care, solidarity and cooperation necessary to help ourselves out of our humanitarian and ecological crises.

The term “degrowth” first came into common usage among proponents following the first international conference devoted to the topic in Paris in 2008. It has since entered the wider social lexicon through the media and academic writing—and as a battle cry for many environmental advocates working to ratchet down our carbon emissions to combat climate change.

According to the web portal Degrowth.info, a society refocused on degrowth would prioritize achieving “the good life for all” by fostering a culture of “deceleration, time welfare and conviviality.” Meanwhile, developed countries would reduce production and consumption, partly to reduce their impact on the planet but also so as not to lead less-developed countries down the wrong road through bad example.

Degrowth is also predicated on extending democratic decisionmaking and political participation to all corners of society, acknowledging the ability of local populations to make their own decisions about how to retain self-sufficiency and sustainability in the face of socially and ecologically turbulent times. Also, degrowth advocates say we should be relying on cooperation, planning and a conservation ethic to solve our environmental problems instead of waiting for technological fixes that may or may not even work.

But just because we would be sacrificing some of our consumerism doesn’t mean degrowth would lead to a lesser quality of life. In fact, proponents argue the opposite, envisioning happier lives where we would derive more satisfaction from healthier time-tested pursuits like art, music, walks outside and time with friends and family than from sitting inside by a screen plotting another amazon.com purchase.

Achieving degrowth—and attaining a “steady-state” economy that can function without getting bigger—is of course easier said than done. Rich nations would have to pare down their energy and resource demands significantly and let poorer nations increase their consumption so their citizens get the chance to live healthy, safe lives with access to the conveniences (electricity, sanitation…) modern life has to offer.

If you want to learn more about degrowth, Degrowth.info is a great resource and can point you toward local gatherings of like-minded activists. Another way to get involved is by attending the Picnic 4 Degrowth that takes place in parks all over the world on the first weekend of June every year. And if you really want to go deep, get yourself to Europe for one of the non-profit Research and Degrowth’s annual movement-wide gatherings (May 29-June 1 in Vienna, Austria and/or September 1-5 in Manchester, England).

Is That Video Game A Health Risk? Three Things Parents Should Know

(NAPS)—Some games topping holiday wish lists—including the season’s most anticipated release, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare”— contain imagery that could be putting the health of young people at risk.

Smoking is found in many video games, including those rated appropriate for teenagers. Research shows 44% of adolescents who start smoking do so because of images they see in movies. Tobacco use in video games is likely to promote youth smoking in similar ways.

Smoking can be found and is often glamorized in video games.

Tobacco imagery is widespread in video games played by youth and many young gamers described tobacco use as making a character “cooler,” or “tougher” according to Truth Initiative research.

Additionally, past research showed that between 1994 and 2011, 60 out of 78 video game publishers included tobacco imagery in at least one of their youth-rated games.

A report released this year also revealed that the tobacco industry identified video games as a marketing opportunity.

Ratings and content descriptors are often incomplete.

Just because a game is rated appropriate for youth doesn’t mean it is free of tobacco imagery.

A 2015 survey by UC San Francisco confirmed tobacco content in 42% of the video games that participants reported playing; however, only 8% of these games had tobacco warnings from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the gaming industry’s self-regulatory organization.

In its report, “Played: Smoking and Video Games,” Truth Initiative called on the ESRB to consistently identify and disclose if any game contains tobacco references. Truth Initiative is also urging game developers to stop including tobacco imagery in their games, particularly those played by youth, regardless of their ESRB rating.

Some games are leaders on the issue.

While many games contain smoking, some game developers recognize the risk.

For example, “Gears 5,” the newest installment in the popular “Gears of War” series, is now completely smoke-free. The publisher made the decision after Truth Initiative approached the game’s corporate entities about the issue, according to an article in Variety.

Even as national smoking rates decline to record lows, smoking continues to be portrayed on screens. Glamorizing and re-normalizing smoking could threaten the progress the U.S. has made in decreasing tobacco use, which still kills 1,300 Americans every day.

Celebrate The Magic Of The Season At The San Diego Zoo Safari Park During Wild Holidays Nightly Festivities Run Until January 5, 2020 The San Diego Zoo Safari Park has been transformed into a twinkling, joyous winter wonderland as Wild Holidays brings unique animal experiences, entertainment and seasonal fun for the whole family. During Wild Holidays, which run through Jan. 5, guests are treated to a dazzling array of special activities and seasonal entertainment from 4 to 8 p.m. every night, except for Dec. 24 and 25 when the Park closes at 5 p.m.

Guests can enjoy a dynamic light show set to music, festive tunes by a talented a cappella group, an interactive dance party, bubble play and a jolly fun time with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Festive holiday food and beverages will be available for purchase, and so will special limited-time-only tours that are sure to bring Wild Holidays cheer to everyone.

In addition, visitors are invited to visit the San Diego Zoo Safari Park’s newest residents, male platypus Birrarung and female platypus, Eve—the only two currently outside of Australia. These special animals, which are semi-aquatic and live in freshwater habitats, serve as ambassadors for the species outside of their native Australia and communicate the importance of freshwater for both humans and wildlife.

Wild Holidays entertainment at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is available every night until Jan. 5. The Safari Park will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., except for Dec. 24 and 25 when the Park closes at 5 p.m. Wild Holidays entertainment and activities are free with Safari Park admission or membership. Special ticketed experiences, including special tours, require advance registration and a separate fee. For more information on Wild Holidays and the new platypus habitat, visit SDZSafariPark.org At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, more than 1 million guests each year see animals in herds of mixed species, in expansive habitats.

Safari tours offer savanna views of African and Asian animals, trails take visitors on treks to experience Australian and North American habitats—plus, there are opportunities for up-close encounters and unique behind-the-scenes perspectives. Known for its leadership in rhino conservation, the Safari Park is home to the Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center, which is devoted to groundbreaking work to bring back the northern white rhino. As visitors discover the rare and endangered species at the Safari Park, they are directly contributing, through admission and on-grounds sales, to the efforts of San Diego Zoo Global, an international nonprofit conservation organization that works to fight extinction through recovery efforts for plants and animals worldwide.

Migraines

continued from page 7 families dealing with pediatric migraines should consider the following: • Clinicians make a migraine diagnosis based on the intensity and duration of pain, how many attacks a person has had, and whether they’re accompanied by associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. Those with migraines should get a diagnostic evaluation that includes a careful medical history, as well as general physical and neurological examinations conducted by a neurologist or headache medicine specialist. A neurologist is a doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system • Triggers can vary, so families should identify and address the factors associated with their

“The benefit of CBT alone or in combination with other treatments in migraine prevention warrants further study,” says Dr. Oskoui.

• Treat migraines as soon as your child or teen becomes aware of one starting. For children and teens, medications such as ibuprofen and triptans can help relieve pain during an attack. For teens, consider the combination sumatriptan/naproxen.

• Families and neurologists should carefully weigh the use of treatments not proven to be effective in children and teens.

For example, while botulinum toxin is effective in preventing migraine in adults, it hasn’t shown the same effectiveness in children and teens. And while some of the newest treatments, including calcitonin gene-related peptide antibodies and other similar drugs and devices are effective for adults, the study of their pediatric use is only

child’s migraine attacks. These can include lack of physical activity, being overweight, excessive caffeine intake, poor sleep habits and dehydration.

Many of these issues can be addressed with healthy habits, like nutritious foods, regular exercise, adequate hydration and sleep.

• Ask your child’s neurologist about the risks and benefits of preventive medication and appropriate acute treatment.

For example, in studies, the drug amitriptyline combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) -- which employs techniques like relaxation and coping strategies -- was more beneficial than amitriptyline combined with headache education in reducing migraine attack frequency and migrainerelated disability. However, it’s important to note that amitriptyline may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior.
