2015 September - Bridgeville Community Center
September 2015 Wow! Did you meet any aliens? How about someone from another time zone? Did you know we welcomed visitors from as far away as Ecuador, Toronto, Canada, and Washington DC? Of course we also celebrated with folks from LA and many parts of Sacramento. Perhaps you joined us on the one clear, sunny, minimal smoke day we had in two weeks! To answer the most asked question, “Who won the quilt?” It went to Attila our newsletter editor. Congratulations Attila! The results are in! A good time was had by all. It could not have happened without all the volunteers who helped with the planning and showed up to help on the day of our terrific event. See our list inside to acknowledge with us all those who shared their time and energy to support the Community Center. We especially wish to thank Cindy LaPaille and Bridgeville Properties (BP) for generously allowing us (at no charge) to use the space in Bridgeville for our BridgeFest BCC fundraiser. Each year Cindy and BP donate the use of the space for BridgeFest to support the Community Center. Another ginormous thank you goes to Mr. BridgeFest Randy Krahn who worked tirelessly with enthusiasm, generosity, and creativity to guide this year’s extravaganza to one of the best ever. He solicited the many prizes for the Benefit Raffle and created the “Alien Kiosk” which acknowledged our many supporters and schedule of events. His connections in the community added a number of new volunteers to our ranks, all supported by his delicious blueberry muffins. THANK YOU RANDY! Kate McCay, graphic artist extraordinaire, designed our poster, wrote donation letters, and created our many notices and kiosk flyers. Did you hear her advertisement on the radio? She also created the new banners that hung in the booths. Plus she created and developed the “My Favorite Volume 22 Number 1 Alien” contest. THANK YOU KATE! Tim Garvey, artist in residence, designed our shirts and they have been a sell-out! Three large shirts and some children’s sizes are all that remain. All this couldn’t have been done without the BridgeFest Committee. They met monthly to hammer out details and support the community efforts for this event. Thank you Roger, Chantal, Kate, Dan, Jim, Kent, Randy, Kathy, Tim, Lyn, Linda and Kay. We are already looking ahead now to activities through the end of the year. School starts on August 31. Please remember to slow down and watch for school buses as you drive Highway 36. Back-to-school night is September 9 at 4:30 pm. This is an opportunity for parents and guardians to talk with teachers about what your child will be learning this school year and how you can facilitate learning for your child. Parents and guardians are the most important members of a child’s education. Please participate and help your child learn and become all that he/she can be. Please note that the Community Center will be operating with limited hours for September. We will be open T-W-T from 10 – 4 and some hours on Fridays. Please call the Center at 777-1775 before you drive Inside this Month down for services. And BridgeFest Wrap-up Commodities will be on School News September 18 from 10 – 4. BVFD News See you in September. Working with you to accomplish great things... Chris Frenzel Food Matters Dear MFP Random Thoughts Are We Crazy or What? TRCCG News Calendar BridgeFest 2015 Supporters Talk about a Huge Raffle!! Stop in and say THANKS! to these generous supporters of our Community Center: The July 30th thunderstorms and lightning strikes started numerous fires and many are still burning a month later in Humboldt/Trinity counties. Many local communities faced evacuations, burned structures, and road closures. Fire camps were set up at AA Ranch by Ruth Lake and Southern Trinity School for the hundreds of fire fighters who helped fight the fires. The fire danger is not over yet though many of the local fires are in the process of being controlled. If it is smoky, wear a mask outside. Keep children inside and out of the smoke. Drive with headlights on if smoky. Be cautious for additional animal creatures on the roads. Be safe. Who are the members of the Bridgeville Community Center Board of Directors?

School News by Principal Beth Anderson WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL! School started Monday, August 31st! I have been working hard this summer to prepare for the upcoming school year, and I look forward to seeing all the Bridgeville School students and families at our Back to School Night on Wednesday, September 9th at 4:30pm. As a school leader, my focus is on the whole student growth of each of our children. I believe in setting high expectations and creating an encouraging and safe environment where every student can succeed academically, socially, and personally. Helping all students to see their capacity for success and building their self-esteem is an integral part of my emphasis as a teacher and administrator and our primary goal here at Bridgeville School. Additionally, I still believe in the school’s ability to provide students with character education and the opportunity to learn positive citizenship behaviors and personal responsibility. Our small class sizes and individual attention to every student’s needs is what makes Bridgeville School such a unique and wonderful learning community. Family is the school’s biggest partner. Research has shown that family support and involvement in children’s schooling leads to better grades, less disciplinary action, better attendance, and higher selfesteem. Here at Bridgeville School, families are a unique and important part of our learning community. Communication is the key to successful relationships between families and educators. Communicating with teachers and other school personnel is important in advocating for your child(ren). Please get involved and always feel free to ask questions and make suggestions. If we work together with our students’ best interests in mind, we can create an even better school and learning experience for them. Another key element to student success is attendance. Please help us share an enthusiasm for education by teaching your children the importance of attendance. We are hoping for many perfect attendance awards at the First Trimester Awards Assembly! Please schedule doctor and dentist appointments so that your child can at least participate in a portion of the school day, and unless students are ill, please help get them to school every day and on time! Thank you! We will continue with our school-wide music program as our music teacher, Mr. Cox, will be back again on Tuesdays this year. We have adopted modern curriculum and the teachers have attended professional development sessions over the summer to prepare us to move forward with the Common Core Standards and Next Generation Science Standards instruction. We have also worked to further increase arts in the classroom as well as technology access for all students. We also have new Common Core based Report Cards this year. We have very talented and dedicated teachers and staff here at Bridgeville School who put the focus on student success and offer so much to our students. We will again have three classrooms (K-2nd, 3rd-5th and 6th8th), reading and library support, and continue to offer breakfast and lunch each day. Our after school program will be open from the end of the school until 6:00pm daily with activities and homework help for students of all ages. The bus run will be the same as last year - from near Dinsmore (Cross Rock) to Swain’s Flat. We are hoping to have a school volleyball team and track team again this year. If you are interested in enrolling your child here at Bridgeville School please call the office at 777-3311 or stop by for a school tour and to pick up enrollment forms. We are looking forward to an educationally productive school year with an estimated enrollment of 30 students. I, along with the rest of the staff at Bridgeville School, would love to have the opportunity to provide a positive learning environment and productive experience for all of the children residing in our district. We truly appreciate the support of our community members here at Bridgeville School. If you are interested in volunteering at school, being on our Site Council, or being a member of the Booster Club please call the office or stop by school. Thank you so much to our community and families for continuing to make Bridgeville School a wonderful place to learn and grow.

The new rules went over big. This year we provided materials at our table for prospective cosmonauts to construct saucers to fly in the contest. We had 31 entries in all; some of them came from places as alien as Sacramento and Wisconsin. The “XMen” saucer took first prize; second place winner was “Flying Dutchman” and “Flying Disco” came in third. These three winners were awarded cash prizes. All showed determined competitive spirit and cheerful good sportsmanship. (NOTE: All the winners made their saucers on-site) Our new rules experiment went well, however, we have tentatively decided to move the target to a shorter distance from the bridge in order to compensate for the capricious winds. We also plan a “closer-to-the-bridge” Kidz Zone with a more accessible target for the younger contestants. BIG THANKS are due to our volunteer helpers at the event: Grace Schellhous, Faith Schellhous Cole, Patsy Currie, Betty and Wayne Heaton, Jacob who helped hoist the saucers back up to the launching pad, and Martin Schellhous who retrieved all the saucers from the riverbed and the river.

By Ann Matula Gyenis Certified Nutritional Consultant I wrote about tuna last year, but it keeps coming up, so here are more tips SMOKIN’ First & foremost: Tuna MUST be canned in a Pressure Canner (NOT pressure cooker) with a gauge. Low acid foods such can harbor botulism bacteria, which are killed by the high heat (240°) of a Pressure Canner Smoke has been on everyone’s mind not to mention clothes, furniture and lungs this summer. What is the impact of smoke on the foods we eat however? Pallavi Srivastava, nutritionist with Evolve Medspa has studied the effect of smoked foods on health and has reported thus: "Meat contains protein, which is a vital part of your diet. Protein helps muscles and bones stay strong and healthy. It plays a role in everything from building blood cells to healing wounds. "Smoking cooks, adds flavor to the meat, but it also acts as a preservative. Meats are also rich in minerals like iron. Lean meats like buffalo, fish and chicken breast contain less fat than pork and beef. Some fishes are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat that promotes nervous system and cardiovascular health. As in case of any food, even smoked meats are beneficial when consumed in moderation." What exactly are smoked foods? Foods exposed to smoke from a source, typically wood. Smoking the foods is for cooking or preserving. The process is achieved when the smoke source is heated, causing smoke to rise. The foods sit on top of the smoke and acquire the taste. BBQ is an example. Sounds simple, but it is questionable whether or not it is healthy. There are two health considerations when dealing with smoked foods. One is how well the food is cooked and carcinogenic properties. Smoked foods are often not fully cooked as well as foods cooked on a flame. The FDA has identified certain parasites present in raw fish that may still be present in smoked fish. The smoking process releases harmful carcinogens such as nitrites and nitrates into the foods. The benefits of eating smoked foods include their nutrients and low fat content. Foods that are generally smoked are proteins, and have all of the benefits of high-protein foods in a form that many people enjoy eating. Additionally, the smoking process is a fat-free form of cooking that not only doesn't require extra fats in preparation, but actually reduces the fats existing in the foods, as much of it drips out while being smoked. There are ways to enjoy the benefits of smoked foods while reducing the health risks. The National Institute of Health recommends heating deli meats to steaming before eating and cooking any cold-smoked fish and cautions to control the temperature of a barbecue, as over-heating the meats causes higher development of certain carcinogens. It's also recommended to marinate foods in a vinegar base before heating, which impedes the formation of carcinogens. Tuna tips: Buy tuna whole or loined (filleted). Either way the price you pay is for the whole fish, but we have always found it to be cost effective. $75 worth of loins got us 26-8 ounce jars this year, coming out to $2.88 each – not including tuna we grilled for dinner! Loining it yourself is easiest when fish is partially frozen. Can tuna, raw or cooked, only in ½ pints or pint jars. Raw pack: cut the loins crosswise into jar size pieces and pack into clean, hot jars leaving 1” head space. Hot pack: bake or grill whole tuna until done (165° to 175° internally) before packing in jars. To get the right length every time, mark a sheet of paper with the length for each type of jar (minus 1 inch headspace) and place it under a clear cutting mat. This makes it easy. Get creative: add seasonings like soy sauce, lemon infused olive oil, or diced jalapeno pepper to each jar. The possibilities are endless. For liquids, add 1 tablespoon per ½ pint, 2 tablespoons to pint jars. Salt is optional, add no more than ½ teaspoon per ½ pint, 1 teaspoon per pint. · Remember: leave 1-inch headspace, remove air bubbles, and wipe the jar rim before adding lid. · ¼ to ½ cup white vinegar in the water of the canner will make clean up easy and cut the smell. Both ½ pints or pints process for 1 hour and 40 minutes at 10 pounds pressure (11 pounds over 1000 ft elevation, 12 lb. over 2000’ or 13 lb. from 4000’ to 6000’). Master Food Preserver Information: Remember, use an approved recipe such as those found in the Ball Blue Book, and follow the directions and times for preparing your food, jars, & equipment as well as the recipe and canning procedure to guarantee the best and safest results.

On July 30th, lightning strikes hit the local area and we sent out 2 engines. Engine 7622 went down Alderpoint Rd. and Engine 7621 went down Buck Mountain Rd. There was an exploded tree on fire at Alderpoint Rd.; and we chased smoke on Buck Mountain Rd., when the fire was found it was handed off to the National Forest Service. One crew staged in Bridgeville with Cal Fire, the other in Alderpoint. Engine 7621 stayed on for eleven days straight with Dane, Tammy and Norman as the crew. They staged at the base camp in Redway to help with the Humboldt Lightening Complex fires - Bluford and Pine. They slept where they could, tent, cot, on the ground, wherever. The fires were burning in steep, difficult to access terrain. Fuel consisted of dense timber, brush and grass. They worked 24 hours shifts, fighting back flareups that were trying to cross the fire lines, packed hoses on their backs, patrolled hot areas, did mop up, transferred water and pumped water to the hose lays. The dust was thick and the roads challenging, with no equipment problems. We are very appreciative to the Bridgeville Baptist Church who supplied us with essentials. Alderpoint Fire had a Firefighter Food Program set up at the station where they would serve us hot coffee, homemade hot apple turnovers and anything that we needed to make our run better, they had. They also delivered a hot lasagna dinner to us up on a ridge one night on the Pine Fire. We were also supplied venison stew by Dawnita and Randy (awesome). It was really a team effort. BridgeFest was a record fund raiser and a great time, thanks to all that came to support our local community. We have participated in the Hazmat drill in Fortuna and an inter agency communications class recently. You are invited to our meetings which are at 6pm on the first Tuesday of the month at the Bridgeville Community Center. You are also invited to become a part of the Fire Department, it is a worthy use of anyone's time and you will make a difference. CALL LOG: (includes last month's log) 6/21 Traffic Collision MM36 Hwy 36 6/24 Medical Swains Flat 7/2 Traffic Collision MM28.8 7/4 Medical MM19.6 7/5 Traffic Collision MM16.7 Random Thoughts By Attila Gyenis When life hands you scraps…. make a Quilt But before I get to that, let me just say how much I enjoyed BridgeFest this year, as I do every year. It is nice to see the community get together for a good cause and have an enjoyable day. Having an enjoyable day is an important general objective for earth beings not just for the positive experience it provides, but also because we all could use an occasional antidote to offset some of life’s occasional trials and tribulations which we sometimes encounter. I’m not sure how the aliens from other planets live on a daily basis, but they seemed to approve of BridgeFest and enjoyed their day as well. When I say tribulations, I’m not talking about those small furry roundish aliens on Star Trek. BridgeFest provided an opportunity to see and talk with people, eat some corn on the cob and blueberry pie, hear some good music, walk down to the river and look up at the bridge, and see some alien looking creatures. I didn’t see any Tribbles. I didn’t get to throw a flying saucer either, but I did win the quilt in the raffle. BridgeFest started offering a quilt as one of the raffle prizes some years ago. The making of the quilt was always a community effort. They are made each year by a small but dedicated group of people working together to design and create each panel which would then be put together to create the quilt. Creating a quilt is similar to building community. You start with all these individual little pieces, but by working with each other to put all the little pieces together, the community can create a quilt, or an event like BridgeFest. The quilt is much appreciated. Thank you to each of the quilters. Peace. ARE WE CRAZY OR WHAT? TRCCG N e ws (BACK TO THE LAND in our 60's and beyond) Two Rivers Community Care Group Fire, Smoke and Alien Anomalies - Part 57 BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR TWO RIVERS COMMUNITY CARE GROUP On the 30th of July, “The Thunderstorm” came to Larabee Valley and surrounds, causing one of the first fires: a lightening fire on two branches of a huge tree just 2 parcels away, up our private access road. It was scary but it also showed us how neighbors can come together to help fight a fire. We counted 22 friends, acquaintances and neighbors driving up into the fire area to help. Our neighbor Rennen climbed up onto branches near the fire with his water hose, straddling to come as close as he could and fought that fire for 2 days while fire fighters came and went. Another neighbor, Yama, tractored down into the area from his place with a huge bulldozer to break a fire line and help. That fire is put out. Now it is almost the 4th week in August and we are hiding in the cabin: reading, sleeping, canning, talking, writing, watching DVD’s anything to loiter away the day until the afternoon winds pick up and blow some of the smoke away so we can go out to water, feed, prune, mulch and harvest the vegetable gardens. Even then, as most of us, we wear our 97% particle-filtering masks across our face - tangling our eye glasses, wet bandanas and the mask strap into a nerve-wracking jumbled knot. The fires have obliterated a fine summer at Ruth Lake and the rivers, plus any kind of security on one’s property. Thousands of firefighters and workers are tumbling through trees, ravines, creeks and old roads to fight “we don’t really know how many at this time” fires in Humboldt and Trinity counties. Evacuations, warnings, road closures and just plain fear lead all of us through August into September. It’s not fun and we beg for an end. But, on a more upbeat side, Lyn is learning how to use the Smartphone and Kate is learning how to see through her new eye glasses - as we come off the exhilaration of BridgeFest. After 7 months of meetings, hundreds of hours of work by volunteers and the staff of the BCC, the smoke lifted up out of Bridgeville just at the right time for a fabulous, fun day. Alien flagships, Clone Troopers, bejeweled Flying Saucers, Dirt Bag bouncers, bursting Blueberries, BBQ’d grubs, Human look-alikes, Astronomical prizes, Celestial music and Planetary peddlers – all came together for a Stellar BridgeFest! Kate McCay and Lyn Javier TwoCrones Ranch Larabee Valley Two Rivers Community Care Group (the volunteer hospice group) will be celebrating their 7th year with a Gourmet Spaghetti Feed featuring sauces by B.J. Delaney and Desserts by Pam Walker. This fun -filled fundraiser will take place Saturday, September 26th at the Van Duzen Community Hall in Mad River. Bar opens at 5:30, Dinner at 6:00. $10.00/ Adult, $5.00/12-5yrs (under 5 free). Even though TRCCG is an all volunteer organization of neighbors helping neighbors we do have expenses such as insurance and the cost of supplies and educational materials for our clients. When you help TRCCG by attending a fundraiser you help provide the support necessary for your friends and neighbors to stay at home during life challenging or terminal illness. What better and more fun way for you to help your community than to attend this gourmet spaghetti feed?! This year we will share the proceeds of the dinner with fire victims. Come enjoy Good Food, Good Friends, Door Prizes and a Dutch Raffle – an event not to be missed.
