The program itself got started in 1984, and in Winters in 1989. However, it’s been something of an offand-on relationship as it’s a youth-run program that’s subject to administrative and school participation/ support.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II is a reminder that time marches on. She was part of the WWII generation that is quickly disappearing. Most of the people that live in the shadow of the British Empire have never known another Queen. It will be interesting to see if they embrace King Charles III with the same emotions as his mother. When I read that the royal family has been around for over a thousand years, I don’t know how to process how that is even possible. Long live the WintersKing!has only been around since 1875, but we have watched as prominent families come and go. How many Wolfskills or Winters family members still live here? Our city streets are named after founding fathers that left a mark but are no longer around. Where are all of the Grafs and Codys?

Problems plague state’s school data system
The stakes for reliable data are higher than ever. The state needs to have a clear picture of student enrollment and achievement so it can allocate the necessary resources to help them recover academically, socially and emotionally from the pandemic’s impact.Theinformation in the statewide system is the basis of accountability platforms like the California School Dashboard, which shows the public everything from enrollment figures to suspension rates at every school in the state. The problems with the data system started in April when the education department updated its software.
In May, the California School Boards Association and the Association of California School Administrators wrote an open letter to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond detailing several issues with the data system. Among them, students with disabilities were not getting the accommodations they needed during standardized testing.

While Davis said he can’t comment on the accuracy of the state’s prediction, his own team of three data specialists at Fullerton school district will be able to meet the Sept. 16 deadline for districts to submit their data to the state. But he said even though his team and those at other districts are submitting correct data, the statewide system is still experiencing errors like miscounting the number of students with disabilities, which could have repercussions for standardized testing.
“In my perception, the CALPADS team needs enough resources to make sure the system works really well.”

The general rule of thumb is to take your body weight and divide that by two and that’s how many ounces of water per day you should be drinking,” said Stirton. “You just need to understand that alcohol is a poison in the body that’s directly related to the dose.

“[Alcohol] a ects your liver and your kidneys have to process more because it’s a diuretic. So, it causes those organ systems to work more,” says Dr. James Stirton.

Although alcohol may be more fun to drink, water is far and away what our bodies need most. That’s why Dr. James Stirton, head chiropractor of Winters Family Chiropractic, is back to serve up knowledge on the impacts of hydration and inebriation.Renowned for its buzz, its confidenceboosting and for helping people discover their ability to dance, alcohol’s benefits don’t outweigh its downside. Even though moderation should always be a consideration, alcohol hosts a variety of negative impacts for those who frequently indulge.“Alcohol does have a lot of bad effects on the body. Not just short-term effects, but also long-term effects. Some people don’t realize that you can get diabetes from chronic alcoholism. You don’t have to be a massive drinker either, you just have to be drinking regularly,” said Stirton. “It affects your liver and

“The hangovers you feel after drinking too much are the immediate effects. It’s like you’re recovering from a poisoning and your body is trying to pee out all the poison, and that’s the kidneys and liver working harder,” Stirton explained. “When you wake up your head is pounding, your stomach is raw and you feel like you’ve been poisoned. Something my uncle told me when I was 21 was to drink three glasses of water after a night of drinking and that absolutely gets your body recovering while you’re sleeping and replenishes the fluid you’ve been peeing out.”
“To keep your body amply hydrated, all the tissues get what they need. And there’s not a set amount of water everybody needs to drink because different sized bodies

Parents know that each new period in a children’s life brings both noteworthy milestones and a host of new concerns. Those concerns often reach new heights as children enter adolescence, a period in life when pressure from peers and at school can make it hard to be a kid, which in turn makes it harder to be a parent.Adolescence is a period of significant change, as children’s bodies are physically changing and they’re inching closer to independence. It’s during this transition period that many children are first offered drugs or alcohol. In fact, the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics reports that 50 percent of teenagers have misused a drug at least once. In addition, data from the NCDAS indicates that drug use among eighth graders increased by 61 percent between 2016 and 2020.Such statistics are enough to make any parent lose sleep. But parents aren’t helpless against teen drug and alcohol use. There are many things parents can do to help children handle the temptation to use drugs and alcohol. Learning to spot the signs kids might already be using can help parents determine if they need to step in and help kids make the right decisions regarding drugs and
