Note from Bonnie Whitley:

Seriously, it took me 3 minutes to get my fan chart.  It covers nine generations so the print is really small. To give this as a gift I'd have it printed on larger paper at Staples.  This quickly shows where I have missing folks who need to be found!  (it's actually kinda embarrassing that a person like me with a family history calling has so many blank spots... here comes a new year's resolution. 

Update on Linda Douglas

Relief society sisters:

Several have ask about Linda's condition, so I thought I would give you an update.  She had a cancer on her nose that was removed last week.  It was larger and deeper than expected so she had plastic surgery to repair her nose.  She has experienced a lot of swelling black and blueness and pain, but is doing much better this week.  Thanks for your concern.

Terrific Tuesday Updates!!

Hello all!

After looking through all the signups we have decided to make just a few little changes to the scheduling of our Terrific Tuesday night - hopefully this will be something that will make the night run smoother and be more enjoyable for everyone :)

First, the Photo Editing class has been cancelled for TT, and will be re-scheduled on its own special night, SOON. 

Second, the "craft" classes will be taught from 4-4:30pm and from 5:30-6:30pm, in order to allow the teachers of these classes to attend other classes as well.  The teachers will be around for the majority of the event (remember, from 4-9pm), but they may be involved in teaching or attending another class at the other times, so you would be well advised to show up at least to get started on your projects during one of these 2 times. 
These classes are: 
* burlap wreaths
* temple blocks
* fabric covered magnet boards
* fabric covered scriptures
*yoyo bookmarks



The other scheduled classes are as follows:
4:30-5:30 Cinnamon Rolls
6:00-6:30 Gift Boxes
6:30 - Emergency Trunk Kits *** notice that this is a time change (it will be fast, no worries!)
6:30 - Dinner (EVERYONE should join us for this delicious event!)
7:00-8:00 EYB "Eat Your Basement"
8:00-9:00 Crepes

We will also have a project (most likely some quilts) set up by the Humanitarian Committee that we would love to have any and all help with between your regularly scheduled classes - this is a great way to participate if you haven't signed up for any classes but would like to join us for a wonderful evening of visiting and of course enjoying the delicious dinner!!

If you have ANY questions at all, just call Adele or Jeanette - thanks so much!!

It's Workout Time Again!!

Are you ready to start your workout for the fall?  I am starting to do classes at the church again.

We will workout Monday - Friday 8:30-9:30am. 

You can still bring your kids and don't forget your mat! And as always it is FREE! 

Come sweat with me and your other "sisters". 
We will start this coming Monday.
 

Oh and for those of you who want the 6am classes - I'm not quite ready.  My life is a little too crazy.

Sorry that will have to wait a few more months.

Hello Everyone :) 

Pear Update:  The pears should be coming this week. 

We are doing a potato order.  These potatoes come from Idaho and are fresh from this fall harvest. They are nice big potatoes.  Store your potatoes in the garage in saw dust and you will have potatoes all winter and spring.  My potatoes were good through June.

Burbank Russets are $17 for 55 lbs.   


Canela Russets are $11 for 30 lbs. or $19 for 60 lbs.  

Yukon Gold are $12 for 30 lbs. or $20 for 60 lbs.  

Red Potatoes are $12 for 30 lbs. or $20 for 60 lbs.  

Sweet Spanish Onions (Yellow Onions) are $10 for 30 lbs.  

DUE DATE:  October 16.  Make checks payable to Ann Rasmussen
Sign-up at Church or email me.

Dear Lindon Cannery Email Subscribers,

We will be closing the sign-ups for chicken/pork at 12:00 a.m. on October 1st. After that time no changes can be made to your order amounts. Through September 30^th, you are able to UNDO your shift and reschedule with any changes you need to make. (There is nothing we can do if someone takes your shift when you UNDO it.) You have to return immediately to the place you were registered to re-enter your information. (Remember, after you UNDO your shift, you have to click on the “Click to Redraw” prompt in order to go directly back to the same sign-up sheet.)

There have been several people who did not follow the 4 case combined limit. Once the sign-ups are closed, we will make any necessary adjustments to bring your order into compliance with the 4 case limit. These adjustments cannot be changed. WE WILL NOT LOOK UP YOUR ORDERS OR MAKE REQUESTED CHANGES FOR YOU OVER THE PHONE. If you are unsure of what you ordered, the only thing you can do is UNDO your shift and re-schedule. The only change we will make is the best-guess, compliance adjustments after the sign-ups close on October 1st.

Both emails prior to the sign-up emphasized the 4 case limit with the following statement (copied directly from the emails):

“Please remember that you can only order up to 4 cases of meat COMBINED. You cannot order 4 of each.  EXAMPLE:  2 cases of chicken and 2 cases of pork = 4 case limit

After September 30^th, any shift cancellations will need to be called into the Cannery @ 801-785-0998. You will need to provide the day, time and worker # for the shift to be cancelled. You can call in at any time of the day. Leave a message if you call after hours. You can also get someone to work your shift for you. Just have them come to your scheduled shift and tell us at that time that they are here in your place.

No-Shows on a scheduled shift will disqualify you from participating in the next family canning opportunity (Frozen Berries in December—if all goes as planned).

We will begin filling the cancelled shifts on Monday, October 10^th. (Remember you can check online for cancellations through September 30^th.) Nothing will be scheduled until that day so please don’t call before then to check for cancellations. Leaving a message on the phone will not get you scheduled. You must actually talk to someone to be scheduled.

For those who are new to the email list:   Shifts have been full for over a week. You will need to use the following links, through September 30^th, to check the website and see if anyone has cancelled their shift. You are looking for a box that says “Available”. Blank cells or those with a name and UNDO box are not available to schedule. Read the instructions on the website for help in scheduling.

(Notice the date: the 12^th of Never.) Please do not forget to UNDO your shift on this practice sheet so we can keep it open for everyone to practice on:

WATER

 

In an emergency, public water supplies may become disrupted or polluted, making it unsafe to drink. Since water is more essential to sustaining life than food, properly storing or purifying water will prove vital to getting your family through the effects of an emergency.

The general guideline for the amount of water to store is at least one gallon of water per person, per day - two quarts for drinking and two quarts for food preparation and sanitation. It hotter weather, everyone may require more water than this.

Another recommendation is to have a minimum two-week supply for your home. Three day’s worth of water

should be included in your 72-hour kit.

Water should be stored in plastic, food grade containers such as water and beverage bottles. Glass and cartons should be avoided, as one can break and the other decomposes easily. If you have a water bed, that water should only be used for sanitation purposes. It is also important to remember to NEVER store water in old bottles of chlorine bleach or milk cartons, regardless of how well you cleaned them out.

There are multiple ways to purify water for drinking:

Water purification

There are two primary ways to treat water: boiling and adding bleach. If tap water is unsafe because of water contamination (from floods, streams or lakes), boiling is the best method.

·  Cloudy water should be filtered before boiling or adding bleach.

·  Filter water using coffee filters, paper towels, cheese cloth or a cotton plug in a funnel.

Boiling

·  Boiling is the safest way to purify water.

·  Bring the water to a rolling boil for one minute.

·  Let the water cool before drinking.

Purifying by adding liquid chlorine bleach

·  If boiling is not possible, treat water by adding liquid household bleach, such as Clorox or Purex. Household bleach is typically between 5 percent and 6 percent chlorine. Avoid using bleaches that contain perfumes, dyes and other additives. Be sure to read the label.

·  Place the water (filtered, if necessary) in a clean container. Add the amount of bleach according to the table below.

·  Mix thoroughly and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes before using (60 minutes if the water is cloudy or very cold).

Treating Water with a 5-6 Percent Liquid Chlorine Bleach Solution
Volume of Water to be Treated	Treating Clear/Cloudy Water: Bleach Solution to Add	Treating Cloudy, Very Cold, or Surface Water: Bleach Solution to Add
1 quart/1 liter	3 drops	5 drops
1/2 gallon/2 quarts/2 liters	5 drops	10 drops
1 gallon	1/8 teaspoon	1/4 teaspoon
5 gallons	1/2 teaspoon	1 teaspoon
10 gallons	1 teaspoon	2 teaspoons

1. Boil water vigorously for 3-5 minutes. However, a WAter Pasteurization Indicator (or WAPI) can help you use

Water Pasteurization Indicator (WAPI)

A Water Pasteurization Indicator (WAPI) is a simple thermometer that indicates when water has reached pasteurization temperature and is safe to drink.
Pasteurization destroys all microorganisms that cause diseases from drinking contaminated water and milk. A small polycarbonate tube contains a wax that melts when water or milk is heated enough to be pasteurized (65 C/149 F). This saves much fuel by eliminating the need to boil water or milk to ensure that the pasteurization temperature has been reached.
Since water pasteurizes at temperatures well below the boiling point of water, WAPIs save time when solar pasteurizing, and save fuel when using traditional fuels.

Color-Codes of Emergencies

In an emergency, time is of the essence. The challenge is weeding out those who need immediate medical attention and those who need basic first-aid. If each household had three colored sheets of cardstock with their 72-hour kits, and if used properly, a lot of time.

 

Immediately following a disaster, each household should evaluate their injuries and medical needs. Then, using

Gardening Workshop Reminder

Wednesday, May 18
7:30 p.m. 
at Will and Claire Ashby's home

 

We will discuss square foot gardening, grow boxes and drip irrigation. Please come with questions and answers. If you can't come, plant something you can eat anyway!  It is time to plant almost everything.   It might be a good idea to wait on planting tomatoes until  after the last frost, whenever that is!

 

EVERYONE is invited!!
