reast Cancer-two words that have the power to terrify even the toughest of people, and a disease that can alter the path of a person’s life forever. Due to research and the support of breast cancer awareness groups like the Colusa County Breast Cancer Fund, there is hope. Not only is there hope but there is the support of a community. On July 26, dozens of people showed their support by participating in the Bowling for Boobs fundraiser at Riverside Lanes in Colusa.

Although gathered for such a serious cause, it was a festive atmosphere at Riverside Lanes as the sea of pink garbed participants laughed and encouraged one another. Good natured ribbing could also be heard as they bowled, going for that prized strike. Some, like event planner Sherri Burns and Colusa Lanes owner Mike Wilkinson and many others, were decked out in flamboyant pink outfits much to the enjoyment of attendees.

hosted by Colusa County Breast Cancer Fund and Riverside Lanes, and raised a total of $1,465.00. By popular demand there is already a second Bowling for Boobs event in the works for October. This will be in addition to their annual Colusa County Breast Cancer Walk that takes place the second Saturday of October.

“I was surfing the internet for ideas (fundraising) and saw that this is very popular in other states,” said event and fund creator Sherri Burns, when asked how Bowling for Boobs came to be “My inspiration is everyone who has had cancer and survived. We want to help out in any way we can.”

“It was a wonderful turn-out. Everyone had such a great time-we look forward to doing it again,” She said and went on to thank Cindy Campbell and Mike Wilkinson as they were instrumental in putting on the event.

The final results were: First place, Save the Ta-Ta’s; Second place, The Mopette’s and coming in Third was Gemma.

This first bowling fundraiser was

Old Highway 99 and eventually the newly finished Interstate 5, well before the opening of Granzella’s and an influx of fast food eateries made the tiny town of Williams more than just a bump on a map.

Generations of locals and tourists alike can remember prowling through the huge building, sifting the treasures from the junk, never knowing just what might be found. Today, Pamm carries on in her father’s footsteps, but brings her own personality and ideas to the eclectic store.

O

n June 6th a long-closed Williams landmark finally reopened its doors, ending years of speculation as to its fate. With a brand new army green paint job on the outside, and a lot of dusting and elbow grease on the inside, Garrison’s is once again open for business.

Shop co-owner and curator Pamm Garrison Stadick is the driving force behind the rebirth of Garrison’s. Along with her sisters Cricket Razo and Belinda Titus, Pamm has ambitious plans for the store’s future. She spent a great portion of her childhood at her father’s knee, learning the business from the ground up. Opened

by William Garrison in 1962, Garrison’s Army Navy Surplus was a well known and popular tourist attraction, pulling customers from

“I don’t like the word ‘antiques,’” Pamm explains, shaking her head, “and I really don’t like the word ‘collectibles.’ I prefer the terms ‘vintage’ and ‘gift re-sell.’” The old building’s new name reflects that attitude. Christened Garrison’s Vestiges and the King’s Ransom, the whimsical name is reflected in the merchandise and how it is displayed throughout the 500 square feet of store currently open. “Vintage” dolls ride on a elderly bicycle, way up on top of a beautifully restored hutch. Items are sorted throughout the store by categories, such as “kitchen” and “lighting.” Along with the vintage items, unique new gifts are also for sale.

“My goal is to sell old and new items alike at amusingly affordable prices,” Pamm states. “If I can sell a new item for 25 percent of its asking price, that is great. I want to eventually sell everything the community needs so people no longer have to leave town to shop.”

The Williams Pioneer Review recently sat down with Pamm and talked with her about where she came from, where she has been, and the ambitious plans she has for her new venture. Like Pamm herself, the answers are straightforward, honest, and enlightening.

WPR: Pamm, first of all, let’s learn about you. Where were you born and raised?

Pamm: I was born and raised right here in Colusa County.

Garrison’s re-opens in williams (continued)

Whimsical displays in the windows, and inside the store, showcase vintage items for sale. (Courtesy Photo)

As a young adult I lived in Redding for 18 years, and then I landed in Portland, Oregon, where I lived for 17 more years, before moving back to Redding.

WPR: Have you always been a “vintage dealer?”

Pamm: I am definitely my father’s daughter, and have always loved the business. However, for many years, I was a union plumber and pipe fitter. I worked for the company Wright, Schughart and Harbort.

WPR: That sounds like a great job!

Pamm: It was a great job, and I loved the work. I worked on the Alaskan Pipeline, but eventually the body couldn’t keep up with the work, and physically I was unable to do that work anymore.

WPR: When did you get into your father’s line of work?

Pamm: When I was living in Portland I had a store called Vestiges and the King’s Ransom.

It was 3000 square feet, and at one point I had 42 dealers working for me.

WPR: What made you come back to California?

Pamm: I really liked the diversity of Portland, and I knew coming back here that this area is so much more conservative. But, I wanted to give my children the benefits of going to school and living in a small town.

WPR: Kids?

Pamm: Yes, I am a single mom with two kids, a 14-year-old daughter, Gennesserrét, and a 17- year-old son, Christopher Ryan.

WPR: Where are you living now?

THE WILLIAMS PIONEER REVIEW IS LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED!

By the community, for the community!

Pamm: (grinning) Oh, all over! In Redding, here in Williams, up above the store. My kids go to Shasta High School, which is my father’s alma mater. Shasta County is my father’s homeland.

WPR: Let’s go back to your father for a moment. Did your father own other stores before opening the store in Williams?

Pamm: Yes, he did. His first store, “Melrose Circles,” opened in East Oakland in 1947.

Then in 1949 he moved the store to Colusa, where he changed the name to Garrison’s Army and Navy Surplus.

WPR: When did he open the store in Williams?

Pamm: Well, that was an interesting story.

He actually purchased this building [where the store is now] in 1962, but he wasn’t able to move into the building until ‘64. That was when the lease for the former occupants ran out.

WPR: Who had the lease?

Pamm: It was a garage and also Del Mar Apartments.

WPR: So what did your dad do?

Pamm: He moved the store from Colusa into a different building from ‘62 to ‘64. It was across the street from the fire department, where the US Bank building is now. There used to be a big orange and blue building there. Then when the lease was up, he moved Garrison’s into its permanent home here on E Street.

WPR: Back to you, Pamm. What are your immediate plans for the store?

Pamm: We have an expansion that is due

to open on June 1st, 2010. It will add an additional 1500 square feet to the existing 500 square feet, which is open already. But even before that, we would like to open a vintage clothing store, probably in the northwest corner of the building.

WPR: Are there any obstacles in the way of your expansion plans?

Pamm: Actually, there are problems with the city that we are trying to sort through. We have been trying to get the entire store reopened for four years, since ‘06. However, the city made some changes to the parking rules that have made it very difficult to get the entire store opened.

WPR: How do new parking rules affect opening your store, a store that has been here for over 40 years?

Pamm: Good question! Now the city requires five off- street parking places for us to reopen the entire store. That is one off-street parking space per every 300 square feet of store space.

And, as we all know, there is just no off-street parking to be had in Williams.

WPR: How did you get any of the store reopened?

Pamm: The mayor, Pat Ash, has been wonderful. She helped us get the two off-street spaces we have now, which are across the street at the Shell Station. That allowed us to open the 500-square- foot shop that we now have.

WPR: This must be a frustrating situation for your family.

Pamm: Absolutely! We were originally told that we would be “grandfathered” in, like other businesses have been. There is plenty of street parking, not only in front, but on the side streets. Pat has been the only person with the city that has made any effort to resolve this issue with us. She wants what I want; to see the city of Williams revitalized, and businesses opened and buildings repainted. Parking is important, but it shouldn’t hold Williams back from becoming the city we would all like it to be!

WPR: Pamm, what do you want out of all this?

Pamm: I want to land here in Williams. This is where I want to end up. I will give it my very best shot, but if I can’t expand the store and make money for all of my family, I guess I would have to go back to Redding and open a store there. But that is not my first choice.

I want to revitalize all of the square footage of this building, including the four apartments upstairs. I want to sell all of my father’s things, by turning trash into treasures. The store, when fully opened, will be cleaned up, organized, and shoppable. I would like to keep this building and the store in the family, and carry on in my

father’s place. My father loved this town, and so do I. I have the heart of the town in mind.

As the interview wound down, it became clear that if anyone can fight city hall, tackle a project as huge as renovating the old Garrison’s and turning it into a beautiful building showcasing treasures new and old, and revitalizing a huge part of this city’s history, Pamm Garrison Stadick is absolutely the dynamo who can get it done. As we finished, Pam concluded, “My father, William Garrison, was an icon. Everywhere I went, people knew about his store. When he passed away on his birthday, August 23rd in 2006, I made a vow to continue with his legacy. Garrison’s is more a spirit than a business, and that spirit lives on.”

Garrison’s Vestiges and the King’s Ransom is now open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 611 E. Street in Williams. Stop on by! You never know what you may find. Most of all, you might just rediscover a part of yourself that is the life blood of any aging, small town; your civic pride.

An Augsburg College student from Dubuque, Iowa, Kelsey is leading a group of 33 college-age riders across America with a nonprofit group called Bike and Build, trying to raise money for affordable housing organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity. Kelsey and her group got on their bikes in Charleston, South Carolina and started riding west, taking at least one day out of every week to build with Habitat for Humanity. They will conclude the journey in Santa Cruz, California. In addition to building in various cities along each route, each rider raised at least $4,000 prior to their trip.

To keep trip costs low and, therefore, maximize the amount of money they are able to distribute as grants to affordable housing organizations, they find organizations along their route that are willing to host them for the evening.

Kelsey’s group will be stopping over in Colusa, where First Presbyterian Church will be hosting the group on the evening of August 9.

In addition to raising money for and building affordable homes, they strive to raise awareness of affordable housing issues and foster long-term relationships with the experiences and stories with a small presentation about their organization and cause at First Presbyterian Church in Colusa on Sunday, August 9th at 5:30 p.m. To learn more you can visit their website, www.bikeandbuild.org, to see a roster of the riders, track and find details about their trip.

THE NEWS BACK THEN SPONSORED BY SACRAMENTO VALLEY MUSEUM Patricia Ash, Contributor

The Williams Farmer 7/2/1913RELIABLE DRUG STORE HAS NEW NAME Commencing yesterday, July 1st the business of the Fouch Drug Store is this town will hence forth be conducted under the firm name of John F. Fouch and Son. The new partner is Ralph F. Fouch who has spent his boyhood days in Williams, attended the public schools and clerked in his father’s store whenever his studies permitted him with that pleasure. He is a young man of exemplary habits and fine business ability and but a short time ago graduated with high honors from the pharmacy college in San Francisco. John f. Fouch, the senior member of the new firm, is known to every man, woman, and child of this section of the county as a man of sterling business worth and possessing keen judgment and integrity. He has conducted business in his store since 1879 and has built up a splendid patronage on the principles of courteous treatment and first class goods, at fair prices. There will be no deviation from this motto by the new firm and the Farmer bespeaks for them a long and successful life under the new firm name.

Williams Farmer 7/20/1928MUCH ACTIVITY AT LOCAL S. P. DEPOT IN FREIGHT DEPARTMENT Much activity has been in evidence of the Southern Pacific Company this week. Among the cars of freight handled in car load lots numbering 25, not including 28 cars of cantaloupes that have been shipped, are: Four cars of lumber, three cars of cement, six cars of crushed rock and gravel, one car of structural steel used in the constructing of the Cache Creek bridge, one car load of machinery for the Williams Steam Laundry, one car of Bartlett water leaving for San Francisco, two cars of grain, seven cars of stock including on car of mules for the Hawaiian Islands.

Considering the time of the year, the above activity is a fine record and is proof of the development in this section. C. C. Welch stated that there is more material and goods being moved in the community this month than have ever been moved in any past season. The above does not include the less-than-car load lots of freight that is received daily and which is a big item.

Williams Farmer 7/28/1939 LOCAL BOY ASSISTING WITH SQUALUS SALVAGING WORK. Jesse E. Duncan, former resident of Williams and son of Mrs. Calista Duncan of this city, had a close call with death last July 13th when the submarine Squalus was raised to the surface of the ocean off the New Hampshire coast, only to break from its pontoons and sink again in 240 feet of water. There the bodies of 26 sailors and officers entombed in the forward compartments of the Squalus, which dived to the bottom of the ocean, while engaged in maneuvers two months ago.

Clippings from Boston newspapers to the mother of Duncan, one of the Navy’s outstanding divers engaged in an effort to raise the Squalus, report that Duncan and a number of his companions were in a small motor boat on the very edge of the circle of the sea form caused by the submarine as it raised its nose above the surface and then sank again.

The little boat, part of the equipment of the wrecking steamer Falcon, with which Duncan is connected, reversed its engines at full speed, and it was more by chance than anything else that it did not go down in the suction caused by the submarine as it sank after raising its grayish bow above the waters of the Atlantic for a brief fraction of a minute.

Duncan, it will be remembered, as the diver who released the life-saving bell, the cables on which jammed 150 feet above the surface, and while being hoisted aboard the Falcon with the last few men found alive in the after compartment of the sunken undersea craft.

Under Construction -PondlessWaterfall Keeping the interior of your swimming pool fresh and clean doesn’t demand intensive labor, but it does take a steady commitment. Expect to spend between four and eight hours each week during peak season—a small outlay compared to the amount of time you’ll spend enjoying your pool.

The Best Tools for the Job Using the right tools will make cleaning your pool easier and faster. You’ll find these at any large pool-supply retailer.

W

ater features transform your yard into a new environment for you to enjoy. The beauty of a stream with its natural sounds will soothe the soul, adding living area and value to your home. Water features can range from an overflowing urn to a raging waterfall.

Both Pond and Pondless types are now available.

A special blend of rock sizes and types are set into place. This is where the art of masonry comes in. Irrigation and drainage lines are installed during this phase.

Time to run electrical conduit for both above and below water level lighting.

Building an arbor patio cover with flagstone flooring is a nice touch. A path around the water feature with stepping stones, and a bench or two make for very relaxing times. Once the water makes its way to the bottom of the creek, it is held in a reservoir below and recirculated back to the falls at the top of the stream.

Leaf skimmer. This long-handled net is a must for removing large pieces of debris.

Vacuum. Another weapon that’s essential in any cleaning arsenal, a pool vacuum either connects to a pool’s circulation system or has its own power supply. Vacuums suction out dirt that has settled to the bottom.

Before any construction began, a pondless stream with dual waterfalls was ordered by the homeowner.

Wall and floor brush. This nylonbristle brush cleans the walls and floor of vinyl, fiberglass, and painted pools.

Multi-level water rushing downward makes the most relaxing and tranquil sounds. Rock ledges add realism and beauty. Creek bed gravel is laid at the bottom of the stream bed.

Algae brush. Concrete pools may require one of these as its stainlesssteel bristles are up to the challenge of cleaning plaster walls.

Tile brush. If your pool has tiled walls, a handheld tile brush is great for removing calcium scale and other deposits without harming the grout.

Use a pumice stone for stubborn spots on tile.

Courtesy of The Home Repair Guru

Bio-falls (waterfall insert) is set at top and rubber liner attached. Largest rock is placed and flow pattern for water flow is set and tested.

Every angle shows another feature in this project. This project contains about 40 tons of rock. It has two pumps pushing about 1000 gallons of water per hour through the system. Very little maintenance is required.

Sand and gravel are constantly filtering the water.

No mosquitoes or standing water make CURTIS PYLE the pondless Columnist waterfall the most popular model.

Back to school tips The following health and safety tips are from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) MAKING THE FIRST DAY EASIER Remind your child that she is not the only student who is a bit uneasy about the first day of school. Teachers know that students are anxious and will make an extra effort to make sure everyone feels as comfortable as possible.

Point out the positive aspects of starting school: It will be fun. She'll see old friends and meet new ones. Refresh her positive memories about previous years, when she may have returned home after the first day with high spirits because she had a good time.

Find another child in the neighborhood with whom your youngster can walk to school or ride with on the bus.

If you feel it is appropriate, drive your child (or walk with her) to school and pick her up on the first day.

BACKPACK SAFETY Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back.

Pack light. Organize the backpack to use all of its compartments. Pack heavier items closest to the center of the back.

The backpack should never weigh more than 10 to 20 percent of the your child’s body weight.

Always use both shoulder straps.

Slinging a backpack over one shoulder can strain muscles.

Consider a rolling backpack. This type of backpack may be a good choice for students who must tote a heavy load.

Remember that rolling backpacks still must be carried up stairs, and they may be difficult to roll in snow.

TRAVELING TO AND FROM SCHOOL Review the basic rules with your youngster: School Bus If your child’s school bus has lap/ shoulder seat belts, make sure your child uses one at all times when in the bus. If your child’s school bus does not have lap/shoulder belts, encourage the school to buy or lease buses with lap/shoulder belts.

Wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the curb.

Do not move around on the bus.

Check to see that no other traffic is coming before crossing.

Make sure to always remain in clear view of the bus driver.

Children should always board and exit the bus at locations that provide safe access to the bus or to the school building.

Car All passengers should wear a seat belt and/or an age- and size-appropriate car safety seat or booster seat.

Your child should ride in a car safety seat with a harness as long as possible and then ride in a belt-positioning booster seat. Your child is ready for a booster seat when she has reached the top weight or height allowed for her seat, her shoulders are above the top harness slots, or her ears have reached the top of the seat.

Your child should ride in a beltpositioning booster seat until the vehicle's seat belt fits properly (usually

when the child reaches about 4' 9" in height and is between 8 to 12 years of age). This means that the child is tall enough to sit against the vehicle seat back with her legs bent at the knees and feet hanging down and the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the chest and shoulder, not the neck or throat; the lap belt is low and snug across the thighs, and not the stomach.

All children under 13 years of age should ride in the rear seat of vehicles.

If you must drive more children than can fit in the rear seat (when carpooling, for example), move the front-seat passenger’s seat as far back as possible and have the child ride in a booster seat if the seat belts do not fit properly without it.

Remember that many crashes occur while novice teen drivers are going to and from school. You should require seat belt use, limit the number of teen passengers, do not allow eating, drinking, cell phone conversations or texting to prevent driver distraction; and limit nighttime driving and driving in inclement weather. Familiarize yourself with your state’s graduated driver license law and consider the use of a parent-teen driver agreement to facilitate the early driving learning process.

Bike Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or long the ride.

Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic.

Use appropriate hand signals.

Respect traffic lights and stop signs.

Wear bright color clothing to increase visibility.

Know the "rules of the road."

Walking to School Make sure your child's walk to a school is a safe route with well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.

Be realistic about your child's pedestrian skills. Because small children are impulsive and less cautious around traffic, carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to walk to school without adult supervision.

If your child is young or is walking to new school, walk with them the first week to make sure they know the route and can do it safely.

Bright colored clothing will make your child more visible to drivers.

In neighborhoods with higher levels of traffic, consider starting a “walking school bus,” in which an adult accompanies a group of neighborhood children walking to school.

EATING DURING THE SCHOOL DAY Most schools regularly send schedules of cafeteria menus home. With this advance information, you can plan on packing lunch on the days when the main course is one your child prefers not to eat.

Try to get your child's school to stock healthy choices such as fresh fruit, lowfat dairy products, water and 100 percent fruit juice in the vending machines.

Each 12-ounce soft drink contains approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories. Drinking just one can of soda a day increases a child's risk of

obesity by 60%. Restrict your child's soft drink consumption.

BULLYING Bullying is when one child picks on another child repeatedly. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or social. It can happen at school, on the playground, on the school bus, in the neighborhood, or over the Internet.

When Your Child Is Bullied Help your child learn how to respond by teaching your child how to: 1. Look the bully in the eye.

2. Stand tall and stay calm in a difficult situation.

3. Walk away.

Teach your child how to say in a firm voice.

4. "I don't like what you are doing."

5. "Please do NOT talk to me like that."

6. "Why would you say that?"

Teach your child when and how to ask for help.

Encourage your child to make friends with other children.

Support activities that interest your child.

Alert school officials to the problems and work with them on solutions.

Make sure an adult who knows about the bullying can watch out for your child's safety and well-being when you cannot be there.

When Your Child Is the Bully Be sure your child knows that bullying is never OK. Set firm and consistent limits on your child's aggressive behavior.

Be a positive role mode. Show children they can get what they want without teasing, threatening or hurting someone.

Use effective, non-physical discipline, such as loss of privileges.

Develop practical solutions with the school principal, teachers, counselors, and parents of the children your child has bullied.

When Your Child Is a Bystander Tell your child not to cheer on or even quietly watch bullying.

Encourage your child to tell a trusted adult about the bullying.

Help your child support other children who may be bullied. Encourage your child to include these children in activities.

Encourage your child to join with others in telling bullies to stop.

program, inquire about the training of the staff. There should be a high staffto-child ratio, and the rooms and the playground should be safe.

DEVELOPING GOOD HOMEWORK AND STUDY HABITS Create an environment that is conducive to doing homework. Youngsters need a permanent work space in their bedroom or another part of the home that offers privacy.

Set aside ample time for homework.

Establish a household rule that the TV set stays off during homework time.

Supervise computer and internet use.

Be available to answer questions and offer assistance, but never do a child's homework for her.

Take steps to help alleviate eye fatigue, neck fatigue and brain fatigue while studying. It may be helpful to close the books for a few minutes, stretch, and take a break periodically when it will not be too disruptive.

If your child is struggling with a particular subject, and you aren't able to help her yourself, a tutor can be a good solution. Talk it over with your child's teacher first.

5 million californians say yes to organ donation special to the WPR

Donate Life California Reaches Milestone of Registered Organ and Tissue Donors

batidos de durazno procesados Batidos de Durazno procesados con la energía de bicicletas.

Cada Miércoles en la noche este verano, The Peach Pedaler, el cual son unos batidos de duraznos procesados con la energía que producen las bicicletas al ser pedaleadas, producirá un dulce verano en el Arbuckle Farmers Market de 5:00-8:00 p.m.

“Las malteadas son maravillosas porque a los niños les encanta montarse en las bicicletas. Nosotros les encontramos buen uso a los duraznos suaves que no se nos venden, y crea una chispa de atención acerca de la venta de verano de los agricultores”, nos comento Jonnalee Henderson, que fue quien trajo la idea de estas malteadas hechas con la energía del pedaleo de bicicletas a Arbuckle. La familia de los Henderson, ha producido y vendido duraznos en el condado de Colusa y las áreas alrededor por más de 20 anos.

Henderson, primero se sintió interesado en los batidos o malteadas de durazno después de ver algo similar el año pasado en el día de la agricultura en el Capitolio. Después de buscar información, trajo una bicicleta por $60 dólares y los accesorios de la batidora de la compañía Berkeley, después de traer estos accesorios a su casa, su hermano, su papa, y su sobrino, la ensamblaron, su hermana la pinto, y su mama preparo la receta, y así pudieron hacer la primer, malteada o batido este ano en los primeros días de este mes en la venta de fruta y verdura de agricultores.

Con el actual enfoca miento sobre el vivir saludablemente, y lo importante de la actividad física y el ahorro de

energía, Henderson cree que este bonito espectáculo ensena una lección de creatividad.

También nos dijeron que ellos están dispuestos en rentar esta bicicleta para las personas que la quieran usar en cumpleaños, fiestas o celebraciones.

“Entre más tiempo se use menos se nos desperdiciaran los duraznos, y más niños disfrutan de un verano saludable y activo”.

Esta diversión es nueva en esta área, pero no así la tradición de la producción de los duraznos de los Henderson en el condado de Colusa . Gary y Lorilee Henderson plantaron duraznos por primera vez arboles de durazno en el año 1988, de modo de encontrar los recursos para pagar los estudios de sus hijos, en ese tiempo sus hijos tenían 6 años de edad, y la idea era que sus hijos trabajaran cada verano , en la recolección y venta de duraznos, para que se ayudaran a pagar sus estudios en el colegio.

Después de 20 anos el negocio sigue siendo manejado por la familia, y todos sus hijos pronto se van a graduar del colegio, y los tres hijos están siguiendo la tradición de la producción de los duraznos. El más joven de ellos Wesley, actualmente trabaja en el Kearney Agriculture Center, cerca de Fresno, en la investigación de la semilla de la fruta.

Para recetas en las malteadas o batidos de durazno y en la hora de venta de esta deliciosa fruta por favor visita el lugar de internet www.HendersonPeaches. com, o llama a Jonnalee Henderson al (530)304-5662.

NOVENTA PORCIENTO DE LOS NEGOCIOS QUE VENDEN TABACO SOBREVIVIERON LA INSPECCION AL NO VENDER TABACO A MENORES DE EDAD El departamento del condado de Colusa de salud pública, con ayuda del Colusa’s Friday Night Live Group, (grupo de Colusa de noches en vivo los viernes), conducido por una de las dos inspecciones que se realizan anualmente, por la juventud. Este es un modo de educar a las personas que venden tabaco en el condado, acerca de la importancia de no vender tabaco a menores de edad. Durante la inspección voluntarios menores de edad trataron de comprar productos de tabaco de tiendas que los venden. El dinero no cambio de manos y no les fue posible comprar tabaco a estos jóvenes voluntarios, de 28 tiendas que se inspeccionaron, 25 preguntaron por la identificación, y se negaron a vender tabaco a cualquier menor de edad.

El departamento de salud pública del

condado de Colusa, felicita a las siguientes tiendas por no vender productos de tabaco a menores de 18 años de edad: 99 Cent & More, Abarrotes & Taqueria Ordaz, Jack’s Market, Arbuckle Food Center, J & J Gas\Mini Mart, Arbuckle Shell, Jensen’s Chevron, Chung Sun Market, Orv’s Shell, Colusa Shop- NSave, Princeton Market, Corona Market, Rite Aid, Davies Chevron Arbuckle, Roy’s Supermarket, Davies Chevron Colusa, Save More, Davies Chevron Maxwell, Wayman’s 76, El Toro Loco, Williams Express Mart, Full Stop, Williams Shell, Jackpot Food Mart of Colusa, Williams Shop N Save, Williams Liquor & Food.

La comunidad aprecia su compromiso de proteger la salud y el bienestar de nuestros jóvenes

CONSEJOS PARA EL REGRESO A CLASES Los consejos de seguridad y salud que siguen son de la American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). CÓMO HACER MÁS FÁCIL EL PRIMER DÍA • Recuerde a su hijo que no es el único estudiante que está un poco inquieto respecto al primer día de clases. Los maestros saben que los estudiantes están ansiosos, y harán un esfuerzo adicional para asegurarse de que todos se sientan tan cómodos como sea posible.

• Haga notar los aspectos positivos de empezar a ir a clases: Será divertido. Verá a viejos amigos y conocerá otros nuevos.

Recuérdele acerca de los años previos, cuando quizá haya regresado animada a casa después del primer día porque pasó un momento agradable.

• Busque a otro niño en el vecindario con quien su hijo pueda acompañarse mientras va a la escuela a pie o en el autobús.

• Si considera que es apropiado, lleve a su hija en automóvil (o acompáñela a pie) a la escuela, y pase por ella el primer día.

SEGURIDAD RESPECTO A LA MOCHILA • Elija una mochila con correas anchas y acojinadas, y con la parte posterior acojinada.

• Sólo coloque los objetos necesarios en la mochila. Organice la mochila de modo que use todos sus compartimientos. Ponga los artículos más pesados en el centro de la mochila. La mochila nunca debe pesar más de 10 a 20% del peso corporal del estudiante.

• Haga que su hijo siempre use ambas correas. Colgar una mochila sobre un hombro puede causar lesiones de músculos, y aumentar la curvatura de la columna vertebral.

• Considere adquirir una mochila con ruedas. Este tipo de mochila puede ser una buena

elección para estudiantes que deben acarrear una carga pesada. Recuerde que las mochilas con ruedas aún deben cargarse en escaleras, y puede ser difícil que rueden en la nieve.

TRASLADO HACIA LA ESCUELA Y DE REGRESO A CASA Revise las reglas básicas con su hijo: En el autobús escolar • Asegurar que su hijo use cinturones de seguridad para el regazo/el hombro en todo momento cuando esté en el autobús si el autobús escolar de su hijo los tiene. Si el autobús escolar de su hijo no tiene cinturones de seguridad para el regazo/ el hombro, anime a la escuela para que adquiera o arriende autobuses con dichos cinturones.

• Esperar a que el autobús se detenga antes de acercarse a él desde el borde de la acera.

• No moverse de aquí para allá dentro del autobús.

• Antes de cruzar la calle asegurarse de que no venga un coche.

• Asegurarse de siempre permanecer a la vista del conductor del autobús. En automóvil • Todos los pasajeros deben usar un cinturón de seguridad y/o un asiento de seguridad para automóvil, o un asiento de seguridad elevado (booster seat), apropiado para la edad y la estatura.

• Su hijo debe ir en un asiento de seguridad para automóvil con un arnés durante todo el tiempo que sea posible, y después, en un asiento de seguridad elevado que lo coloque en una posición adecuada para que use el cinturón de seguridad. Su hija está lista para un asiento de seguridad elevado cuando ha alcanzado el peso o la talla máxima permitido para su asiento de seguridad, sus hombros están por arriba de las ranuras superiores del arnés, o sus orejas han alcanzado la parte

CONSEJOS PARA EL REGRESO A CLASES (Continued) superior del asiento.

• Su hijo debe ir en un asiento de seguridad elevado que lo coloque en posición adecuada para que use el cinturón de seguridad hasta que el cinturón de seguridad del vehículo le quede bien (por lo general cuando el niño alcanza una estatura de 1.45 metros [4 pies 9 pulgadas], y tiene 8 a 12 años de edad).

Esto significa que la parte del cinturón correspondiente al pecho y el hombro yace a través de la parte media de esa región del cuerpo, no en el cuello o la garganta; que la parte del cinturón correspondiente a la cintura está ajustada justo por arriba de los muslos, no en el estómago, y que el niño tiene la estatura suficiente para sentarse contra el respaldo del asiento del vehículo con las piernas flexionadas por las rodillas y los pies colgando.

• Todos los menores de 13 años deben ir en el asiento trasero de los vehículos.

• Recuerde que en muchos accidentes automovilísticos el conductor es un adolescente novato que va de la casa a la escuela o de la escuela a casa. Usted quizá desee limitar el número de pasajeros adolescentes para evitar distracción del conductor. No permita a su adolescente conducir mientras esté comiendo, bebiendo o hablando por un teléfono celular.

En bicicleta • Siempre usar un casco para ciclismo, independientemente de qué tan corto o largo será el trayecto.

• Circular por la derecha, en la misma dirección que el tráfico de automóviles.

• Usar señales manuales apropiadas.

• Respetar los semáforos y las señales de alto total.

• Usar ropa de color brillante para aumentar la visibilidad.

• Conocer las “reglas del camino” (“rules of the road”). http://www.aap.org/family/ bicycle.htm Al ir a la escuela a pie • Asegúrese de que el camino de su hijo hacia una escuela sea una ruta segura, con adultos capacitados que trabajen como guardas para el cruce de calles en cada aintersección.

• Sea realista acerca de las habilidades peatonales de su hijo. Dado que los niños de corta edad son impulsivos y menos cuidadosos respecto al tránsito, considere con sumo cuidado si su hijo está o no listo para ir a la escuela a pie sin la supervisión de un adulto.

• La ropa de color brillante hará que su hijo sea más visible para los conductores.

COMIDA DURANTE EL DÍA ESCOLAR • Los empleados de casi todas las cafeterías escolares envían con regularidad programas de menú al hogar. Con esta información por adelantado, usted puede planear poner un almuerzo en la mochila de su hijo los días en que el plato principal sea uno que

su hijo prefiere no comer.

• Trate de hacer que en la escuela de su hijo se hagan elecciones saludables, como fruta fresca, productos lácteos con bajo contenido de grasa, agua y jugo de fruta al 100%, para surtir las máquinas expendedoras.

• Cada refresco de 345 mililitros (12 onzas) contiene aproximadamente 10 cucharaditas de azúcar (150 calorías). Beber tan solo una lata de refresco al día aumenta 60% el riesgo de obesidad de un niño. Restrinja el consumo de refrescos por parte de su hijo.

INTIMIDACIÓN Intimidación es cuando un niño molesta a otro repetidas veces. Por lo general los niños que están siendo intimidados son más débiles o más pequeños, tímidos, y en general se sienten vulnerables. La intimidación puede ser física, verbal o social. Puede ocurrir en la escuela, en el patio de recreo, en el autobús escolar, en el vecindario, o por Internet.

Cuando su hijo es intimidado • Ayude a su hijo a aprender cómo responder al enseñarle a: 1. Mirar al intimidador a los ojos.

2. Pararse derecho y permanecer tranquilo en una situación difícil.

3. Alejarse.

• Enseñe a su hijo a decir con voz firme.

1. “No me gusta lo que estás haciendo.”

2. “Por favor NO me hables así.”

3. “¿Por qué dirías eso?”

• Enseñe a su hijo cuándo pedir ayuda y cómo hacerlo.

• Anime a su hijo para que se haga amigo de otros niños.

• Apoye actividades que interesen a su hijo.

• Avise a los funcionarios de la escuela de los problemas, y trabaje con ellos para encontrar soluciones.

• Asegúrese de que un adulto que sepa acerca de la intimidación pueda estar pendiente de la seguridad y el bienestar de su hijo cuando usted no puede estar ahí.

Cuando su hijo es el intimidador • Asegúrese de que su hijo sepa que la intimidación nunca está bien.

• Establezca límites firmes y constantes sobre la conducta agresiva de su hijo.

• Sea un ejemplo positivo. Muestre a los niños que pueden obtener lo que desean sin burlarse de alguien, amenazarlo o lastimarlo.

• Use disciplina eficaz, no física, como pérdida de privilegios.

• Piense en soluciones prácticas junto con el director de la escuela, los maestros, consejeros y padres de los niños a quienes su hijo ha intimidado.

Cuando su hijo es un espectador • Diga a su hijo que no celebre la intimidación, y que ni siquiera la vea tranquilamente.

• Anime a su hijo a informar a un adulto de confianza acerca de la intimidación.

• Ayude a su hijo a apoyar a otros niños que quizá sean intimidados. Anime a su hijo a incluir a estos niños en actividades.

• Anime a su hijo para que se una con otros para decirle a los intimidadores que dejen de hacerlo.

CUIDADO DE NIÑOS ANTES DE CLASES Y DESPUÉS • A mediados de la niñez, los jóvenes necesitan supervisión.

Un adulto responsable debe estar disponible para hacer que se preparen y que vayan a la escuela por la mañana y vigilarlos después de clases mientras usted regresa a casa después de trabajar.

• Los niños que se están aproximando a la adolescencia (de 11 y 12 años de edad) no deben regresar de la escuela por la tarde a un hogar vacío, a menos que muestren madurez poco común para su edad.

• Si no hay disponible supervisión alterna por parte de un adulto, los padres deben hacer esfuerzos especiales por supervisar a sus hijos a distancia. Los niños deben tener un horario establecido en el que se espera que lleguen a casa, y deben llamar por teléfono a un vecino, o al papá o mamá para avisar que ya llegaron.

• Si elige un programa comercial para después de clases, pregunte acerca de la capacitación del personal. El personal no debe tener a su cargo a un número excesivo de niños, y los salones y el patio de recreo deben ser seguros.

CÓMO CREAR BUENOS HÁBITOS PARA HACER LA TAREA Y ESTUDIAR • Cree un ambiente propicio para hacer la tarea. Los jóvenes necesitan un espacio permanente para trabajar en su recámara u otra parte del hogar que les ofrezca privacidad.

• Reserve tiempo suficiente para que se haga la tarea.

• Establezca una regla en el hogar que dicte que la televisión permanezca apagada mientras los niños hacen la tarea.

• Esté disponible para responder preguntas y ofrecer ayuda, pero nunca haga la tarea de un niño en lugar de él.

• Para ayudar a aliviar la fatiga de los ojos, del cuello y del cerebro mientras se estudia, se recomienda que los jóvenes cierren los libros durante 10 minutos cada hora y vayan a hacer alguna otra cosa.

• Si su hijo está luchando con un tema particular, y usted no lo puedo ayudar, una persona que oriente a su hijo puede ser una buena solución. Hable al respecto con el maestro de su hijo primero.
