Four Captive-Bred Mexican Gray Wolf Pups Successfully Introduced to Wild Wolf Pack in Arizona Through Cross-Fostering California Wolf Center, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team Work Together to Save the Endangered Subspecies
The California Wolf Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to the return of wild wolves to their natural habitat, today announced that four endangered Mexican gray wolf pups born at their conservation facility have been successfully introduced to a wild wolf pack in Arizona through cross-fostering. Eight puppies were born to captive parents, Frida and Phoenix, at the California Wolf Center on April 28, 2020 through their Mexican gray wolf breeding program. Four of the pups were selected at 14 days old to be introduced to the Rocky Prairie Pack in the east central portion of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona. This introduction serves as just one part of a larger effort to save the critically endangered Mexican gray wolf and reintroduce them to their natural range. The other four pups in the litter will remain at the California Wolf Center to further contribute to the captive breeding population. Collaboration between the California Wolf Center and the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team—which is made up of biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Game and Fish Department, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, U.S. Forest Service, USDA-APHIS Wildlife Services, and the White Mountain Apache Tribe—made it possible to fly four pups born at the Center in San Diego County to their new home in the Arizona wilderness. The young wolves were placed in their foster dens by scientists from the Interagency Field Team (IFT) on May 12, 2020. This crossfostering is part of an effort to restore the rare gray wolf subspecies to its former range and increase genetic diversity in the wild population. About Cross-Fostering Cross-fostering is a technique where captive-bred wolf puppies from one litter are “adopted out” to an experienced wild female with a new litter, who will raise them as her own. The strong parenting instincts of wolves make this a very promising strategy for bolstering genetics in the wild Mexican gray wolf population. Placing pups from captivity into a wild litter improves the genetic diversity of the species. This method of reintroducing wolves into the wild at a young age also ensures that they are raised by parents with an established territory and experience who will teach them how to survive on their own. Fostering is a relatively new technique for the Mexican Wolf Recovery Program. With fewer than 163 individuals left in the wild— found in Arizona and New Mexico—these four pups (three females and one male), born at the California Wolf Center on April 28, 2020 represent vital new genetics needed for a critically endangered population. “We’re excited to be part of another successful cross-foster, bringing us one step closer to restoring the Mexican gray wolf to their natural habitat,” said Lorraine Frigolet, Executive Director for California Wolf Center. “By working with these agencies and collaborating with other facilities to ensure genetic diversity among thriving wild wolf packs, we’re increasing their chances for survival and population growth for future generations.” Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery The Mexican wolf is the rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America. Once common throughout portions of the southwestern United States and Mexico, it was all but eliminated from the wild by the 1970s. In 1977, efforts were initiated to conserve the species through the creation of a bi-national captive breeding program that began with just seven unrelated Mexican wolves. Since 1997, California Wolf Center has played an integral role in the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan, a captive breeding and host program intended to prevent the extinction of Mexican gray wolves. All Mexican gray wolves residing at California Wolf Center are candidates to be released into the wild through a reintroduction program managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. California Wolf Center is one of only two organizations working with the Southwest community sharing the landscape with the returning wolf population. The nonprofit organization provides information and financial support for techniques that ranchers can use to reduce wolflivestock conflict and steward the wild spaces where Mexican gray wolves reside.

We foster communities coming together to ensure wolves, livestock, and people thrive in today’s world. Learn more at californiawolfcenter.org. ESTABLISHED

Julian Gets An Opportuity To Be Tested For Corona Virus
Last Tuesday, Julian was the first back county area to receive testing for Covid-19 as the County along with the Fire Authiority and CalFire set up their drive through testing site. Although it was originally set up to be by reservation through the 2-1-1 system, problems within the system only registered 20 appointments, the EMT’s and fire personnel accomodated over 70 tests. Allowing immeadiate drive up testing. They will be returning to the Library parking lot again this Friday (June 5) from 9am until 2pm. Once again it is requested that you make an appointment through the 2-1-1 system. You will need to connect to the “Public Health Nurse Line” (option - 1, then listen through the options, you will be connected, DO NOT try to sign up through the state of California web site). This is a diagnostic test, which will show if you have an active infection. This is NOT an antibody test. An antibody test shows whether you had a COVID-19 infection at one time. It is a blood (serology) test. It does not show when you were infected or if you have COVID-19 now. Health care providers and private companies are providing antibody testing. About 80% of people who get COVID-19 have mild to moderate symptoms. If you are sick with mild to moderate symptoms, stay home and call your medical provider. Your doctor will determine if you should recover
at home, or need further medical evaluation. The County currently has test scheduled throughout the back county through Saturday and have committed to providing more offerings in the coming weeks as demand warants. (a full schedule of current test sites is available on page 11). Each drive-thru test site can accommodate up to 100 tests per day. There have only been 2 cases reported in Julian over the past 8 weeks, 5 in Borrego, 1 in Ranchita, 1 in Santa Ysabel, but 37 in Ramona. Overall in the County 7,385 total cases.
How To Have A Sustainable, Germ-Free Home
by Emily Folk <emagazine.com>
A sustainable, germ-free home doesn’t require expensive natural cleaners or constant attention to wiping down surfaces. Maintaining an eco-friendly, clean home can be simple. Green cleaning means cleaning smarter, not more. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised anxiety for homeowners on maintaining a germ-free home, but many consumers worry about using toxic cleaners. However, creating a tidy house is possible for any budget and doesn’t require you to clean every ten minutes. A green home doesn’t just mean using natural disinfectants and scrubbing everything with baking soda. A sustainable house uses fewer products in general, reducing waste and investing in sustainable materials. From using reusable cleaning tools to eliminating synthetic fibers, you can focus less on stockpiling cleaning products and more on living in a way that works with the environment rather than against it. Disinfect Naturally - Keeping a germ-free home means using environmentally friendly products and methods that protect both your family and the Earth. Many cleaning products on the market are effective in killing germs, but they can also be toxic and may cause long-term health effects. By buying natural products or making your own, you can reduce the threat of bacteria and viruses inside your home. Ingredients like tea tree oil, lemon and white vinegar are proven to kill bacteria on hard surfaces. Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol are other great ingredients to have in stock. When making homemade cleaners, make sure to store them properly. Otherwise, they may lose their disinfectant properties over time.
Change Up Your Flooring Tearing up your carpet is more of a long-term investment than buying a bottle of natural cleaner, but it may impact your home’s cleanliness more significantly in the long-term. Some synthetic flooring materials, like polyethylene carpeting or vinyl, release chemicals into the air that can harm your immune system. Known as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs), these chemicals exist in high levels in stain-resistant upholstery and carpeting. Investing in eco-friendly floorings, such as cork, wool carpet or hardwood, may have a considerable impact on your home’s indoor air quality. Unlike traditional rugs that can be expensive to clean and maintain, many environmentally friendly flooring options are relatively easy to disinfect. For example, a steam mop easily sanitizes
sealed hardwood and tile floors, which kills bacteria, unlike a traditional mop that may just spread germs around. Ditch the Pesticides - The best way to prevent household pests is to keep a clean, organized house. However, many people still struggle with household pests, especially in climates that experience all four seasons. Changes in moisture and humidity levels might bring some unwanted guests into your residence. While spraying insecticides around your home may seem like a simple solution, many of these products are incredibly dangerous and pose significant health concerns for you and your family. If a situation requires professional pest management, look into natural or organic pest control services, which can take care of pests without bringing volatile chemicals into your
home. In addition to professional services, there are also many natural ways to dissuade creatures from hanging out inside your house. For example, peppermint oil can help get rid of mice, and planting rosemary and other volatile herbs in your garden can keep flies and mosquitoes from settling in your flower beds. Natural pest management also reduces the need for dangerous pesticides, many of which harm beneficial creatures like honeybees and can linger in the environment for longer than you want. A Cleaner, Greener Home If you’re an environmentalist, creating a germ-free home without resorting to toxic chemicals may sound intimidating. However, keeping your house free from microorganisms like the flu virus and various bacteria is easier than you may think. There are plenty of natural ingredients that can disinfect surfaces naturally, including white vinegar and lemon oil. If you are interested in making a more significant investment, changing out your flooring might be a great way to reduce pollutant levels in your home. Lastly, for those pesky creatures who make their way into your laundry room or onto your kitchen counter, you can choose from tons of ecofriendly pest solutions. Working with the environment keeps your family safe and your home clean and germ-free.

Dear Editor, The Julian Woman’s Club has been active in this community for 94 years starting with removing tin cans from the streets and shooing the goats away! Now the Club continues its charitable service in a multitude of ways. Fundraising supports scholarships and this year three $1,000 vocational scholarships were awarded: two high school seniors and one adult re-entry student. In addition, Adopt a Senior 2020 on Facebook led the club to “ adopt” a senior by giving gifts and gift cards to compensate for a lack of high school senior activities. Since March Club Quilters have been sewing face masks for healthcare workers and the community. It began with the Julian Clinic and expanded to family, friends, business owners, employees, bank workers, postal workers, firefighters, nursing homes, Masks for Covid, and residents. Over 2,000 masks have been distributed. Recently a box of at least 100 masks were mailed to the Navajo Nation that is in dire need. Like other philanthropic organizations, our fundraising events and activities have been cancelled or postponed: Apple Blossom Tea, Wildflower Show, Heritage Quilt Show, and possibly the Holiday Home Tour. Raffle tickets for the lovely handmade blue and cream Star quilt are available online: julianwomansclub.org. Also online is our virtual Wildflower Show created by a new member. Many local residents have supported our endeavors by donating money and materials for face masks, purchasing wildflower seeds and quilt items, plus buying tickets for the Quilt Raffle. So, busy like a beehive, club women continue to be active behind the scenes while sheltering at home. Our appreciation extends to women in Julian Pathways, Cuyamaca Woods Quilt Guild, and the Methodist Church who have joined with us and to those who have led us. Although the Club has not continued with physical meetings, we have met via video conferencing. Many thanks to president Sherry Lutes for her past two years of service and welcome to the incoming board that will need to show flexibility and ideas in coping with our change in circumstances.

About Being a Julian Chamber Member: Like most people, I am motivated to do things because I think I should. “It’s my responsibility, I can do this, this should be fun,” etc. I can’t not pick up an abandoned coin in the street, walk by a piece of trash on my property or rescue a bug in harm’s way (most of the time.) As a member of the Chamber for some 20 plus years, I have not been an “active” member. We put up our own Christmas Decorations, pick up the trash on Washington Street and keep a what I would call a “pride of ownership” property, which is getting increasingly difficult with the passing of time. I suppose that in my mind, this was our/my contribution to the Business District… and we paid our dues. I have spent the last three months thinking about reopening after this gawd-awful Corvid-19 closure. What a nightmare for all of us – I am so with you, each, and all. Our re-opening went very well, everyone was just so grateful to be in the country with our fresh air and drop-dead beauty that makes Julian the attraction it is. I love where I live. Everyone who knows me, knows this. I am a chest beating champion for Julian, Volcan Mountain, the trails, the starlit skies, and I also love my business, Orchard Hill Country Inn. Sunday, I decided to walk Main Street to see what shops and restaurants were open. I was delighted with the new tenants of “the Garage” and Pat’s beautiful new location for her jewelry store inside. From there it ceased to delight and became frustratingly disappointing. Windows were dirty, filled with dead flies, trash bins were overflowing with take-out containers and in the main the sidewalks were beyond dirty from spilled take-out food. Where was the getting ready for company look? Where was the “Were so happy to see you once again.” Where was the “pride of ownership?” One of the eateries I heard sent a message to the Chamber office to please increase their trash pick. Well this just is not going to happen! While we were closed, the public bathrooms were used to the point of abuse and maliciously damaged. The office staff worked full time feeding valuable information to our members. I for one give Robin credit for helping us walk through the impossible trappings of securing a PPP loan. Like us business owners, the Chamber has limited funds and a small self-sacrificing handful of active members to help here and there. Sir, you are going to have to pick up your own trash! Every food establishment in Julian should walk out their door and look at the mess their customers must stand in while they “self-distance” and patiently wait in line to be seated. Clean-up, pick-up, wash down. These are the easy, simple, responsible acts of business ownership. Just like - wash your hands, wear a mask, and keep your distance may save a life, the afore mentioned could save your business. Pat Straube, Owner Orchard Hill

We Need To Get Through This Time And Tighten Our Belts, Just As We Have Through Two World Wars, Terrorist Attacks And Other Epidemics
by Matthew Adelman
Newspapers in the United States have traveled rough seas to the First Amendment freedoms we enjoy today. From the colonial Stamp Act through wartime censorship to today, when thousands of newspapers were slammed with the public health emergency known as COVID-19, people who work for newspapers have never had completely smooth sailing. Now most of the businesses that advertise with us are shut down. The pipeline to make our payroll shut down with them. People are restlessly waiting in their locked-down homes for us to bring the news nonetheless. Across the country, journalists and the thousands of people it takes to let them do their work — from publishers to ad sales people to printers — are figuring out ways to keep the news coming. We do our work as bravely as we can, even when we, too, are masked up and dodging possibly lethal infections. A disheartening chord is sounding here and there across America’s mournful song about this tragic era: why should Americans still support newspapers? Some in our business don’t like the very notion of “media.” We newspaper folk argue that “media” is not us. We are the “press,” the Letters continued on page 10

How Math Can Become Your Child’s Favorite School Subject
GATED - SECURE STORAGE SITES
(StatePoint) Ask kids what their favorite school subject is and fewer and fewer will say “math” as they age. While 37 percent of 4th graders report that math is one of their favorite subjects, only 15 of 12th graders say the same, according to National Center for Education Statistics. At a time when a strong math foundation is more important than ever before, you may be wondering how to keep the subject fun and interesting for kids, even as the workload grows more complex and challenging with each passing year. Here are a few ideas for infusing fun into the equation: • Set a good example: Don’t make math out to be a subject you yourself don’t enjoy. Whether you’re talking about the batting average of your favorite player, working out your budget or watching a news report citing statistics, you can point out the many ways in which math is used to think about the world and spark a numbers-fueled conversation. • Embrace a love of tech: Your children are digital natives, so when it comes to mathematics, let them use the tech tools that feel most natural to them without limitations. You can feel particularly good about this decision when it comes to calculators. Many calculators today are much more intuitive to use than their predecessors, allowing students to spend more time learning the joy of math rather than figuring out how to operate the device. For a highquality scientific calculator, check out the fx-300ES from Casio, which has over 250 functions. Once a graphing calculator is needed, a good choice is the fx-CG50, which has a high-definition, three-dimensional display. • Check in: Many students stop loving math once it gets hard. Unfortunately, a lot of students don’t mention they are struggling until it’s too late to easily catch up, as most lessons build on previously taught material. Periodically check in with your student to ensure they are keeping up with their classmates. Let them know there is no shame in getting an extra bit of help. Many teachers will meet with students before or after class to offer assistance and answer questions. Study buddies, tutors and online tutorials can also help students grasp the material, achieve good grades and ultimately, continue to enjoy math. There is no doubt about it, a love of math is a good thing. By making it approachable and offering the right tools, you can help your young mathematician continue to embrace the subject.

Historical Fiction, Real-Life Thriller And Lovable Characters To Round Out Your Reading List
“The Ticket” by Karen Schutte (Green Spring Publishing) (NAPS)—A touching account of a true American family, filled with ambition, promises, love, loss and a legacy of survival. Destined to a life of servitude, Karl Kessel, a turn-of-thecentury German immigrant from Yugoslavia, receives an unexpected gift: a ticket to America. Grasping his dream, he leaves behind his wife and two sons. In her debut historical novel, the first of a trilogy, Karen Schutte spins a compelling family story woven with rich historical detail. Her nuanced and unvarnished narrative exposes the harsh realities of life in the last century as the Kessels make their journey.

She fears that her new life as a hotel maid, and as the best friend of a sub-rural call girl, has fulfilled some bleak fate. But Juniper’s pregnancy also ignites a will to create. Every hurt that she’s ever suffered begins to emerge as confron-tational, public art. “Twine” celebrates a quietly radical view of small-town life, ambition and motherhood.

“Pursuits Unknown” by Ellen Clary (SparkPress) Amy and her Kelpie-shepherd mix, Lars, work with a search team that specializes in finding lost people. Lars is no ordinary dog. He and Amy have a telepathic connection that lets them communicate and increase their success rate. When the two are tasked with finding a missing scientist, they discover him suffering from an Alzheimer’s-like disorder “disorientation,” and quickly realize this is not a typical case. Instead, this assignment appears to be an attempt to steal the man’s highly sensitive research on nanotechnol-ogy—which, in the wrong hands, could be used to wipe out “undesirables” from their overpopulated world. Forced to go undercover to seek out the truth, Amy will have to confront—and surpass—her own limitations. Purchase at https://amzn.to/2FZJCeX.

• On June 3, 1800, President John Adams becomes the first acting president to take up residence in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately the White House was not yet finished, so Adams moved into temporary digs at Tunnicliffe's City Hotel near the also half-finished Capitol building. • On June 6, 1833, in Maryland, President Andrew Jackson boards a Baltimore & Ohio Railroad steam train for a pleasure trip to Baltimore, becoming the first president to take a ride on an "Iron Horse." The B&O Railroad began operation in 1828 with horse-drawn cars. • On June 1, 1926, Norma Jeane Mortenson -- who would become known as the actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe -- is born in Los Angeles. During World War II, a photographer "discovered" the photogenic Norma Jeane working in a California munitions factory.
• On June 2, 1935, baseball great Babe Ruth ends his Major League career after 22 seasons, 10 World Series and 714 home runs. The following year, Ruth was one of the first five players inducted into the sport's hall of fame. • On June 5, 1949, bestselling thriller writer Ken Follett is born in Wales. After college he wrote a novel just for the $400 advance, which he needed to fix his car. The book flopped, and after 10 more novels he finally broke through with "The Eye of the Needle" in 1979. • On June 7, 1962, the banking institution Credit Suisse opens the first drive-through bank in Switzerland in downtown Zurich. After mounting problems with Zurich's downtown traffic led to fewer and fewer customers, the drive-thru was closed in 1983. • On June 4, 1986, Jonathan Pollard pleads guilty to espionage for selling top-secret U.S. military intelligence information to Israel.

My Thoughts by Michele Harvey
We Have Baby Animals
by Kiki Skagen Munshi
Goldie - “The Gifter” Goldie, the wayward cat, is back and trying to atone for his sins. He doesn’t leave our side, even walking the 1/3 mile out to the County road for the newspaper and back, more like a medium sized dog than a very big cat. He purrs, he rubs… …and he brings presents. Three ground squirrels and a mouse the first day. There is a particular meow that signals a cat has something delicious in its mouth (delicious to the cat, that is) and that meow has been often heard this week. Don’t get us wrong. We love having critters that dig holes in the garden, eat plants, and otherwise annoy us defenseless humans done in by the cats. The problem is that the cats prefer to dine in the dining room. Where else? On the rug under the dining room table. The Persian rug. The Old Family Heirloom Persian rug which might have originally be made to be dined on but probably not with cats in mind. Perhaps a family that would first lay down a sheet or other washable cover, then a grand round metal tray filled with delicious food, lamb korma, an eggplant dish, yoghurt, chicken… …but not ground squirrel. Or mouse. And Goldie, not to mention the other cats who also have this as their preferred dining option when supping on wild game, never bothers to lay down that protective sheet or get out the round, beaten metal tray. We HAVE one such tray, all he has to do is ask. But he doesn’t. So it’s scoop up the still warm and we hope dead animal and throw it in the trash. Goldie, not quite knowing exactly what happens to his gift is pleased that it’s accepted. At least, we think he is pleased. He keeps bringing fresh warm presents. Tribute to the Royal Human. How nice.
‘Breathe Easier’ Healthcare Donation Program (NAPSI)—Healthcare workers on the front lines of the pandemic are in desperate need of creative solutions to the lack of personal protective gear and supplies that help block harmful airborne pathogens. But civic-minded companies can help. For example, NasalGuard Airborne Particle Blocker, an electrostatic topical nasal gel that prevents airborne particles from entering the nose, created the “Breathe Easier Healthcare Workers Donation Program.” The firm offers free nasal gel to any healthcare professional who’d like to try it.

It’s springtime and on our property we have our second set of baby skunks to watch. We have had skunks on our property for as many years as I can remember and we really enjoy them. We seem to get the families which we inadvertently feed with dry cat food that husband Mike puts out each evening for our outdoor cats. We have seen many generations of skunks grow from tiny babies to full grown adults on our property. The males usually wander off to establish a new home while the females find a new homesite here on our acreage. Right now we have a nest of teenagers under our kindling cabinet and another nest somewhere in our barn. Though I’ve always thought of skunks as being nocturnal, our skunks seem to come out in the late afternoon and then again in the evening. I know of spotted skunks. We have striped skunks. They are black with beautiful thick white stripes from the tip of their foreheads to the end of their long fluffy tails. Sometimes we smell skunk odor. This always happens at night. Skunks naturally smell like skunks and during February and March, their mating season, if the females aren’t “in the mood” the put out an aroma to let the males know they aren’t interested. On our property we have never had a problem with skunks spraying and we have never run over a skunk with a vehicle, causing it to release its “stink”. However, you don’t want to irritate a skunk and one good reason not to own a dog up here in the mountains unless you bring it in at night is that skunks can accurately spray at a distance of up to 15 feet. While skunk spray does not cause permanent damage, it can cause significant eye irritation and even temporary blindness. I think it’s interesting that skunks won't spray other skunks. The skunk spray odor can linger for days or even months, depending on the amount released. So do your best not to bother them. At our house we can sit on the front porch with skunks sniffing and nibbling our toes and it’s no big deal. They move on as long as we make no quick movements or sounds. We watch for predators because having skunks and of course, have chickens and outdoor cats may bring in mountain lions, coyotes, dogs and red foxes. They all eat skunks, they all eat chickens and they all eat cats. Skunks mostly like to eat oily foods which is probably why they are so fond of eating dry cat food. They eat both plant and animal material and they change their diets as the seasons change. They eat insects, larvae, earthworms, grubs, rodents, lizards, salamanders, frogs, snakes, birds, moles, and eggs. They also frequently eat berries, roots, leaves, grasses, fungi and nuts. So, yes, they are good to keep in your yard as pest controllers. I also read that mice don’t like the smell of skunks. That’s worth knowing. If you have skunks on your property and you want them to leave, Soak rags with ammonia and place them around the outside of your house, under your porch or anywhere where you think they like to hide. Skunks are not animals that I would ever consider killing. I will keep watching our baby skunks for the next two months until they leave on their own. We also have baby chicks. I bought 5 baby chickens at Kahoots in Ramona a few days ago. They are fluffy and yellow and they look just like the ones on Easter cards. We already have two roosters and three hens, and with the price of eggs going up I decided that we need to be a bit more self-supporting. Raising chickens is an easy way to help support ourselves since my son Robert built the chicken fortress to keep the chickens in at night and we let the full grown chickens free range during the day. Five more hens should do it. The babies are just two weeks old and will have to be in their own cage within the chicken coop for three or four months. Robert is doing a good job of being a chicken daddy by moving them into the coop for safety at night, putting fresh newspaper under their tiny feet and giving them fresh water. In the morning he changes their newspaper again because baby chickens poop a lot. He fills their food dish and freshens their water again. He checks on them during the day because they are heavy drinkers and he gives them more water as they need it. Not only do we have baby skunks and baby chickens, my son Thomas’s family has a new kitten. Tigger has a white belly and her back is striped. It only took her about two nights to figure out that she could snuggle under Thomas’s beard when she wants to sleep at night. Babies are so great! With the covid-19 virus taking up so much space in conversations and on the news it’s nice to be able to see new life. As Louis Armstrong would sing, “I see leaves of green red roses too…” Yes, even with all of the whining I see on the news and on facebook, it is a wonderful world for many of us. Our income has dropped precipitously like so many, yet I can still take joy in the fact that I live in the back country where I can see new leaves on trees and new baby animals emerging. I hear songbirds and right now I miss the quiet that we were able to experience for the first few weeks of the lockdown. I didn’t grow up wealthy, so now that I’m learning to barter; it’s becoming a natural thing to do, that and watching baby animals. These are my thoughts

Do Your Part to Prevent Prescription Drug Abuse
(StatePoint) With many Americans asked to stay at home to help curb the impact of COVID-19, there’s a higher risk of potential prescription drug abuse or prescription drugs accidentally falling into the wrong hands, like those of children. According to the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Abuse, more than 9.9 million Americans abuse prescription drugs. Additionally, more than 70 percent of individuals who illegally use prescription pain relievers obtained them through their friends or family, including through the home medicine cabinet.
To help those at home prevent prescription drug abuse and dispose of unwanted medications in a safe, environmentally responsible way, Susan Peppers, Express Scripts vice president of pharmacy practice, is sharing the following tips. • Keep drugs secure and out of reach. Medications should be stored in a locked area, out of children’s reach, with narcotics and other potentially addictive drugs stored in another secure location. If this isn’t an option, a lock should be added to the medicine cabinet and the key secured. • Track treatments. It’s recommended to maintain a master list of the medications stored at home, especially for individuals with a potential for abuse. That list should include the medication name, the doctor’s name who prescribed it, the dosage and the medication’s potential side effects. Periodically, caregivers should count the medications remaining in the container and make sure it’s the correct amount according to the prescribed dosage. Pill boxes with dividers for each day's medicines are also a good way to track usage. • Don’t share medication. Medication prescribed to one individual isn’t for anyone else, even if that person is showing similar symptoms. Not only is sharing medication with someone else illegal, but it could lead to dangerous drug interactions and serious side effects due to potential allergies and wrong dosages, among other reasons. If an individual has taken medication that wasn’t prescribed to them, they should contact their doctor. • Dispose of unwanted drugs properly. Individuals should follow specific disposal instructions on the label, if provided. Otherwise, they can check the Food and Drug Administration Flush List to see if they can flush the medicine down the toilet. If that isn’t an option, individuals can mix the medication with an undesirable substance like used coffee grounds, cat litter or sawdust, place the mixture in a sealable bag and dispose of it in the trash. Medication containers should be stripped of all personal information prior to placing them in the trash or recycling. Note that once guidelines are lifted for staying home, individuals can visit the Drug Enforcement Administration website to locate a collection site near them as another way to dispose of prescription medications safely. As everyone is spending more time at home, remembering these simple steps can go a long way to help individuals protect their family against prescription drug abuse.
Health And Well-Being
As World Faces Health Crises, New Report Finds Trust Is Vital (NAPSI)—Recently, health experts gathered online to forecast the future of medicine. One theme: the increasing frequency of global crises. Now, COVID-19 has brought this hypothetical threat to life, and a report by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), an independent, nonprofit, scientific organization dedicated to improving public health through public standards and related programs that help ensure the quality, safety and benefit of medicines and foods, and the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence can help. Called “Trust or Consequences 2040: Will Innovations in Health and Medicine Deliver?” identifies what may happen in the future and explores the role that trust will play in helping people live longer and healthier. It identifies likely drivers of change, such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), gene editing, risks to health systems and medicine supply chains and opportunities to improve global health. Four scenarios surfaced: Scaling the tried and true: Rolling crises spur effective global collaboration to address health concerns. Medical advances based on big data and AI are implemented gradually. The focus is on baseline healthcare for all. Dangerous uncertainty: Problems with big data and AI lead to devastating healthcare failures. Unequal access to innovation means only the rich receive advanced treatments; people turn to folk medicines, science-based medicine is questioned. A world of difference: The success of big data and AI in healthcare leads to rapid advances in personalized medicine and prevention. Not everyone can access this and disparities between and within countries perpetuate a “haves” versus “have nots” dynamic. Solving tomorrow’s problems: Smart innovation is widely distributed. Big data and AI create inexpensive diagnostic tools. Diseases become more predictable and healthcare emphasizes prevention. New treatments and technological advances curb costs. The report also suggests how public quality standards for medical products could help promote trust in health and medicine in the future—as they have for 200 years. “Many of the challenging issues we face in healthcare are recurring and persistent. ‘Trust or Consequences 2040’ points out that we must plan for the future we want, or we risk failure and an erosion of trust. Standards offer a proven approach to building trust and ensuring as many people as possible benefit from promising innovations in health and medicine,” said Ronald T. Piervincenzi, Ph.D., CEO of USP.

The unrelenting barrage of bad news and stress can have a negative impact on both your body and your mind. Need a boost? According to recent research, some foods have the same effect on your body as taking a prescription mood-enhancing drug. Do you reach for food or caffeine during the day in an attempt to feel calm, or find a jolt of energy or a moment of bliss? But above all else, do you just really crave a better mood? While good habits such as eating breakfast every morning and regular meals and snacks throughout the day form the cornerstone of an energized outlook, science has increasingly revealed the vital ways in which our food impacts our mood. And it may surprise you that some of the best weapons to help cure crankiness and boost energy can be found in your local grocery store. The following foods will help your mood in two ways.

And they do something equally important as well: Powerful combinations of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants help you build up your energy and capacity to manage life from your body’s deepest levels (your cells’ metabolic and energy pathways).

Airline Chair
Kem Weber (1889-1963) followed a strange path in his life, going from a farmer in Berlin to a famous modern architect and designer in the United States. He apprenticed in 1908 under a famous cabinetmaker. In 1926, he was chosen to supervise the construction of the German Pavilion at the 1910 exhibition in Brussels. A few years later, he went to California to design the German exhibit at the 1915 exhibition in San Francisco. But he was trapped in America by World War I and was refused permission to return home to Germany when the war ended. He had several art-related jobs. He taught art in a studio in Santa Barbara, and in 1921 he went to Los Angeles and worked in the
This chair made by Kem Weber in 1934 comes apart so the back can be laid flat to hold the seat and legs in a compact, space-saving package. It takes less space and money to ship. A few were made, but no furniture company wanted to gamble on such a modern design until the 1990s, when this Airline chair was again produced.
design studio of a furniture and decorating store. In 1924, he became an American citizen. By 1926, he was the only designer and cabinetmaker producing modern designs on the West Coast. He created now-famous silver cocktail shakers and tea sets, and he decorated homes and store interiors. In 1934, he created his famous sleek "Airline" chair. It was made to be taken apart so the pieces could be packed flat for inexpensive shipping. He was the main architect for Walt Disney Studios by 1939, and Disney ordered 300 of the chairs, but no more were made until 1993. His designs influenced many others while he continued to teach and design private houses. Today, streamlined designs by Kem Weber are famous and hard to find. A set of four unmarked Airline chairs were estimated at $8,000 to $10,000 at a Rago auction recently, but they did not sell. Perhaps the historic design is still a little ahead of its time.

I should probably watch less TV. I know that my time could be spent more productively if I wasn’t watching TV. At the end of the day, there are always more things on the “to do list” I could do. Over the last 20 years or so, I have become more discriminating in what I will watch. There are good shows to watch. There are shows that are inspiring as well as shows that are entertaining. I can learn about history or science. I can get the news. But there is a lot that, I believe, is harmful to watch. There are shows that were favorites at one time that I won’t watch now. One small thing that has stuck in my mind and influenced my choices over the years is a scene from the 1985 movie, “Witness” starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. Harrison Ford plays a police officer who goes undercover in an Amish community to protect a young boy who is the only witness to a murder. Kelly McGillis plays the boy’s mother. In one scene, the police officer has his gun out on the dining room table in the young boy’s home. The grandfather criticizes him for bringing something evil into their home. The police officer explains he needs it and is very careful with it. The grandfather argues that, according to his faith, once he has seen the gun, it becomes part of him and it will continue to have a negative effect on his mind and spirit. That statement comes to mind from time to time, if I start watching something that I don’t think is good for my mind and spirit. I remember that once I’ve seen it, it is part of me. Even though I’m more careful about what I watch and I’m working on watching less, I have wondered why I still feel drawn to watch TV. One explanation is that TV produces Alpha waves in the brain which create a more relaxed, inattentive state. It has a soothing effect. While watching TV, I am not making tough decisions, worrying about difficulties I’m facing or analyzing challenges to our nation or planet. In that way, TV becomes a kind of temporary escape. Recently, another insight occurred to me. The majority of shows I watch come to a satisfactory conclusion in 30 to 60 minutes. These days, I am hungry for happy endings. The mystery is solved. The bad guy or girl is arrested. The challenge is overcome or the relationship is restored. The best part is it all happened without me having to find the answer or fix the problem. In a world in which problems can’t be solved in 60 minutes or even in a “season”, it is very satisfying to watch some problems come to a satisfactory resolution quickly. Though I will keep working on being thoughtful about what I watch and limit the amount I watch, I’ve decided that an hour or two of TV in the evening helps me be more relaxed and optimistic as I face the real challenges of our world again in the morning.

California Commentary
How Will We Get Around After The Virus?
by Jon Coupal
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended our lives by putting our health at risk, disrupting our work lives and robbing us of most of our recreational activities. It has also evaporated all of our assumptions about transportation policy in California. First, in one of the few positive consequences of the pandemic, California’s highest-in-the-nation cost of gasoline is way down. In October of last year, the average per-gallon price of gas in California was $4.18. Today it is $2.72. Naturally, no one could have anticipated the crash in the oil market because of rapidly diminishing demand. The low price of gas would be a cause for celebration if it were not for the fact that most are having to shelter in place at home. Second, while the price of gas is down, the excise tax is not. Thanks to the 2017 gas tax hike of 19 cents per gallon, California now has 58 cents per gallon of gas taxes, 76 cents when the federal excise tax is included. Gas tax proponents argue the funding is necessary for road projects, but with the sudden onset of doubledigit unemployment, a cut in the gas tax would be welcome relief for those who need to drive every day. Third, the coronavirus is likely to sharpen the debate over whether gas taxes are a reliable and stable source of revenue to begin with. One of the justifications for the gas tax hike in 2017 was the decline in revenues due to more fuel-efficient vehicles at the same time vehicle miles traveled were increasing. The coronavirus is likely to accelerate this trend as high-risk individuals travel less frequently and those who can, work from home. Will this increase the push for a vehicle-miles-traveled tax as a replacement tax for the excise tax? Implementation and privacy concerns suggest that shift will not be rapid assuming it happens at all. Fourth, public transit will take a huge hit that will linger well after the virus is under control. Ridership across public transit
systems in California has already been declining and the trend will likely continue in the maskwearing socially distanced world of the future. No one knows what percentage of Californians will ever want to ride on public transportation again no matter how often the vehicles are cleaned or other mitigation measures are taken. In an era of tight local government budgets, transit systems which already require massive subsidies to operate might find themselves scaled back, restructured or abandoned completely. Fifth, it is not only that commuters will find alternative ways to get to work, but COVID-19 has already had an impact on where they will work. Urban planners might like density, but apparently plagues do, too. This is forcing many businesses and entire industries to fundamentally alter their workforces. Sixth, environmental interests have noted that the sharply reduced traffic on our highways has lowered air pollution. If mass transit is no longer viable, does this mean air quality will return to pre-pandemic levels? Not necessarily. If transportation planners focused more on keeping traffic flowing rather than wasting precious dollars on failed systems, we could continue to see improved air quality. Coupled with ever-increasing efficiency and all-electric vehicles, we need not sacrifice clean air for the ability to own and use personal vehicles that provide maximum freedom and flexibility to California families. Finally, speaking of failed systems, no discussion of California transportation policy would be complete with raising the embarrassing boondoggle known as high-speed rail. If our budget shortfall is as bad as Gov. Newsom claims it is, then now would be a good time to completely pull the plug on this costly program whose viability has been doubtful from the start. *** Jon Coupal is the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association..
• The first sunglasses were invented in 12th-century China and made from smoked quartz. While providing no protection against harmful UV rays, they did give some relief from the sun's glare and also served as a valuable tool for Chinese judges, allowing them to seem emotionally detached during interrogations. • English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (17721834) is credited with the first printed use of the words "selfless," "psychosomatic," "bipolar" and "bisexual." • A study by neurologists showed that some patients suffering from brain trauma and damage on the right-hand side of their brain have a compulsive obsession to tell jokes they find hilarious, while not finding other peoples' jokes funny at all. • The hacker group Anonymous once sent thousands of allblack faxes to the Church of Scientology to deplete all of their ink cartridges. • May 29 is officially "Put a Pillow on Your Fridge Day." This curious holiday derives from an old custom of placing a piece of cloth from one's bedroom in a place where food was kept, helping to ensure a supply of future plenty to the household. • Sierra Leone is the world's roundest country and sits not too far from Egypt -- the world's squarest country. • Nearly 3% of the ice in Antarctic glaciers is composed of penguin urine. Due to the subzero temperature in that area, it can't evaporate. • Think you hate going to the dentist? A 12-year-old French boy once faked his own kidnapping to get out of it! After being located in a village 100 miles from his home, the lad lied to police, even describing his kidnapper's distinctive cheek scar. Only after they had searched for a month and re-questioned him did the boy confess. *** Thought for the Day: "A clever person solves a problem.

® Dear EarthTalk: I am adding a deck onto my house this summer and wonder which decking materials (wood or otherwise) are the greenest? -- Bill A., San Francisco, CA As the weather warms up, we gravitate toward the outdoors, and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than on your very own deck. If you are building a new deck or sprucing up an existing one, you have the opportunity to make green choices so you can relax outside guilt-free. Luckily there are plenty of attractive and low-maintenance options out there these days that won’t break the bank or ruin the planet. Of course, most of us think wood when we think about our ideal deck. It’s non-toxic, natural, renewable and recyclable, and it biodegrades without any polluting by-products. Cedar, which is naturally rot- and insect-resistant, may be the most common decking wood, but it takes regular maintenance if it’s going to look its best and last more than a few years. Redwood is another great naturally hearty choice for decks, but it’s hard to come by—and expensive—given limited supply. Another common wood for decks is pressure-treated Yellow Pine, but the chemical impregnation that makes it stand up to the elements doesn’t look great, and, even worse, can leach copper into aquatic ecosystems. Then there are the tropical hardwoods, controversial given the decimation of tropical forests by mechanized logging since World War II. But certification of these woods as “sustainably harvested” by non-profits like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) can help consumers on the hunt for deck wood feel better about their use of ipe, garapa, cumaru or tigerwood—each of which evolved in the tropical rainforests of Latin America and are known for durability and natural resistance to rot and insects. Ipe, given how attractive it looks and that it can last up to 40 years in a decking application, has become especially popular in recent years. That said, just because your tropical hardwood is FSC-certified doesn’t mean it’s as green as something that grows closer to your home. Factoring in the length of the journey from the source forest to your home—knowing that fossil fuels will be spewed along the way—is key to determining how green your decking choice is overall. Besides straight-ahead wood, another option is modified wood. Kebony, for instance, is an FSC-certified pine product that’s modified to last three to five times as long as other deck woods. The modification process changes the cellular structure of the wood on a molecular level, increasing its density by permanently swelling and thickening the cells. Thermory is another modified wood product that’s excellent for decking, guaranteed to last 25 years without rot. Beyond wood, composite decking (TimberTech, Trex, Dura-Life, etc.) is gaining traction, even among some environmentalists given that it doesn’t contribute to deforestation and the resins used in its production are typically recycled. Unlike wood, these come in a variety of colors, don’t need repainting and are splinter-free. If you want to split the difference between plastic and wood, Cali-Bamboo’s composite decking made from recycled bamboo is a solid choice.

Letters/Editorial
continued from page 2 ones mentioned in the Constitution. Even so, we know some people don’t trust even us, though we work and play and worship and vote in our own communities. Distrust and dissension are making this tough era even tougher. Let us speak our piece here. We are not driven by ratings. We cover events and issues and write the news as best we can in the worst of times. We do have to have revenue to pay people, just as the even braver front-line hospitals, ambulance companies and urgent care centers do. We are large and small, owned by local owners or sometimes people from far away. But in most small communities, the newspaper is a hometown thing. We’re here to cover the news, love us or hate us. Through our national organizations, we’re asking Congress to give us a little support. We need those federal advertising messages to go into the local paper, not onto Facebook or Instagram. We need the short-term payroll loans to pay our staff and cover printing costs for a while. If these are bailouts or handouts, they are no more so for us than for the millions of other businesses covered by Congress’s $2 trillion stimulus bill. Yes, we are worried about federal debt. But if the economy collapses, the debt will surely spiral out of control. We need to get through this time and tighten our belts, just as we have through two World Wars, terrorist attacks and other epidemics. Are we worth the investment? You tell us. Without journalism, how does this bold 244-year experiment in self-government continue to work? We aren’t perfect, nor is democracy. But it is the best we have. Matthew Adelman, publisher of the Douglas (Wyoming) Budget, is the president of the National Newspaper Association, which represents community newspapers — such as this one — across the U.S.

Spinach: This leafy green is stocked with folic acid, a B-vitamin that has been found to boost your mood. It’s also an antioxidant that works to protect your brain cells from free radicals, which can lead to low energy and mood swings. Chicken: The white meat contains B12, a vitamin that helps to keep you calm. Low B12 levels can make you moody and tired. Tofu: Tofu helps your muscles relax, causing a calming effect on your body. Avocado: Contains serotonin, a feel-good neurotransmitter. It’s also really good for your skin, hair and nails. Greek Yogurt: Not only is it a wonder food, the probiotics in Greek yogurt help boost your mood and immune system. Green Tea: It’s full of theanine, an antioxidant that acts as a calming agent. Berries: Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries contain anthocyanidins and anthocyanins -nutrients that help reduce stress and depression. Chia and Flax Seeds: Chia and flax have about the same amount of protein per ounce, at 4.4 grams and 5.1 grams, respectively. However, chia is one of only a few plant sources that is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the needed protein-forming amino acids. Both of these seeds are a great way to get more fiber in your diet. Chia is one of the richest sources of soluble fiber, which takes longer to get through your digestive tract, adding bulk to stool and slowing glucose absorption. Flax is mostly soluble fiber, which is tied to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. GOOD MOOD SALAD Serve this mood-enhancing salad along with a tall glass of green tea and 2 ounces of dark chocolate as a sweet finish to uplift your mood and nourish your body and your mind!

by Tonda Rush, the director of public policy and serves as general counsel to the National Newspaper Association The leaders of two Congressional oversight bodies today dropped in a $25 billion appropriation bill to help the U.S. Postal Service stave off financial disaster. Reps Carolyn Maloney, D-New York, chair of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee; and Gerald Connolly, D-Virginia, chair of the Government Operations Subcommittee, said they believed the coronavirus is “wreaking havoc on the U.S. Postal Service.” USPS this week reported that its mail volumes were off 27% during April, the first full month when government-imposed shutdowns were felt in postal operations. Although its package delivery business saw a 35% increase, the net impact for USPS is still negative because packages are significantly more costly to deliver. Also, USPS has had to hire extra workers to fill in at postal hotspots where workers have come into contact with the COVID-19 infection. The bill, HR 7015, is styled the Postal Preservation Act. It designates the additional funds to make up for lost revenue and adds $15 million for the Office of the Inspector General to oversee the expenditures. USPS is ordered to make protective gear, sanitizers and cleaning supplies available to help the workforce avoid the virus. Maloney and Connolly expressed alarm at USPS’ condition, which had been precarious even before the pandemic struck. “Can you imagine our nation actually allowing the Postal Service to shut its doors?” the representatives said in their introductory statement. “We can’t let that happen. This is a national emergency that we must address.” Funding for USPS was included in the House’s HEROES stimulus bill, which passed before Memorial Day recess. But that bill has not yet been taken up by the Senate and prospects for its passage are dim. Although many Republicans have expressed concern about the fate of USPS, the GOP leadership has been reluctant to support appropriations for USPS after President Trump labeled the Service “a joke.” Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, head of the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, reported recently that his staff is keeping continuous tabs on USPS finances to see whether financial support is needed. NNA President Matt Adelman, said NNA has long supported additional federal revenues for USPS because universal service is too important to small towns and rural areas to allow interrupted service. “We understand that great pressure is being applied to the federal treasury right now and we appreciate our leaders’ attention to the need for wise spending. But USPS was in trouble before the coronavirus disaster and is in worse shape now. Our concern that is if Congress waits until the last dollar is in the postal coffers, a rescue will come too late. Particularly right now as the nation struggles to get back to its feet, reliable and affordable mail delivery is the backbone of commerce in towns served by our newspapers. We applaud Chairwoman Maloney and Chairman Connolly for aggressively moving toward action.” NNA represents approximately 1,800 community newspapers, primarily locally-owned publications in small towns across America. It has members in all 50 states.
