EPA Information for Communities: Soil fumigation?
In my area? What should I know?
Questions on Soil Fumigations?
- National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC ), 1-800-858-7378 Contact NPIC for general information about soil fumigants and other pesticides. Se habla Español.
- Reporting Pesticide Incidents, Learn how to report pesticide exposure or illness involving people or pets, as well as incidents involving wildlife or pesticide drift.
- State Pesticide Regulatory Agencies, Contact your State pesticide regulatory agency to report a possible pesticide misuse or misapplication for potential enforcement action.
Current as of August 2013What is a fumigant?
A fumigant is a type of pesticide that forms a gas once it is applied. This web page pertains to soil fumigants used to control soil-borne pests such as insects, fungi and weed seeds. If you'd like more information about fumigants or other pesticides, contact the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC).
A sign says there is a fumigant buffer zone. What should I do?
Do not enter the buffer zone even if you see workers in the area, or cars and bicycles passing through the area. You should not experience any effects as long as the fumigant is applied correctly and you stay out of the area. It is okay to move through a buffer zone in a vehicle or on a bicycle, but otherwise never enter a buffer zone.
A buffer zone provides distance between the application site (i.e., edge of the treated field) and bystanders. Buffer zones are there so the fumigant can dissipate before it can reach any residential or public areas.Signs are posted before a field is fumigated and remain until the buffer zone expires. Once the sign is removed, it is okay to enter the area. The sign has information about the fumigant applied and how to contact the certified applicator in charge of the fumigation.
A sign says a nearby field is going to be fumigated. What should I do?
Do not enter the area while the sign is in place. You should not experience any effects as long as the fumigant is applied correctly and you stay out of the area.
I received a message (or a notice) that a fumigation is going to happen in my area. What should I do?
The message you've received is a precaution so that residents who live nearby will know to avoid the treated area and buffer zone, and for how long. You also should have received information on
- the product that is going to be used,
- how to contact the certified pesticide applicator and/or property owner,
- early signs and symptoms of exposure to the fumigant, and
- what to do if you experience symptoms of exposure.
Who should I contact if I have more questions about the fumigation in my area?
For more information on a particular fumigation, contact the pesticide applicator. The contact information can be found on the sign or in information you may have received such as a notice or a voice mail message.
How will I know if I'm exposed to a soil fumigant?
- Early signs and symptoms of exposure to common fumigants include
- watering, burning, or irritation of the eyes, nose or mucous membranes, and
- may include a headache, nausea or dizziness.
- Signs and symptoms of more extreme cases of exposure may include
- tremors,
- slurred speech,
- loss of muscle coordination,
- a skin rash, and
- burning or blistering of the skin.
- Since heat stress and other factors can produce similar signs and symptoms, your medical provider may be able to assist you with determining the cause of your illness.
What should I do if I feel ill?
Seek immediate professional medical attention or call the Poison Control Center at
1-800-222-1222. In an emergency, leave the area and call for emergency help – usually 911.
What should I do if I have a question or concern about a fumigation?
- For questions about the fumigation, you may contact the applicator listed on the buffer zone sign.
- If you have concerns about the fumigation,
- Learn how to report a pesticide exposure or illness at Reporting Pesticide Incidents.
- Contact your state pesticide regulatory agency to report a potential pesticide misuse or misapplication for possible enforcement action.

In the final moments of the final comments made by an attorney in the murder trial of Richard Forsberg, prosecutor Ebrahim Baytieh held up a business card.
It was, he said, the answer to a question that had loomed over Forsberg's audio and videotaped confessions heard over the preceding days.
Several times, Forsberg had told investigators he couldn't remember what the argument was about that caused him to grab a 1- to 1 1/2-pound figurine off a bedside nightstand and pummel his wife in the head until she was dead.
Yet Baytieh said Forsberg could remember campsite numbers where he burned the dismembered pieces of her body, could remember the sporting goods store where he purchased a bone saw had just recently opened, could remember the dimensions of a tub he bought to use as a sled to move his wife's body from an upstairs bathroom to the garage, could remember the dimensions of the freezers he purchased to store the pieces of her dismembered body until he could safely burn it.
"The truth always comes out," Baytieh said, calling out Forsberg as a self-centered murderer. "Do you see what's on this card?"
He held it out in front of the jury. Handwritten on a massage parlor business card—allegedly one of the places Forsberg achieved his "happy endings" as part of three years of infidelity— was "Julie … sexy lady … nice body" along with a date: Feb. 8, 2010.
The following day was the 42nd anniversary of the first date between "Rick" and Marcia Forsberg, one they celebrated annually. Yet before Feb. 9 was an hour old, Marcia Forsberg was dead.
The card was found in a bag—tucked away in the garage when found by investigators—containing condoms, other business cards, phone numbers and notes about Forsberg's liaisons.
"That's why he says 'I can't remember what the argument was about,' because of this baloney about the infidelity—the day before their anniversary," Baytieh said on Wedneday during closing arguments. "That's why he killed his wife. She was of no use anymore. He murdered her."
It was part of Baytieh's effort to prove to jurors that Forsberg committed first degree murder and not manslaughter, which is what attorney Calvin Schneider III has angled for from the outset of the five-day trial.
Jurors begin deliberation Thursday in Orange County Superior Court under the direction of Judge William Froeberg, and must determine if the confessed murder—no physical remains of Marcia Forsberg have been found—was willful, deliberate and premeditated.
According to jury instruction, "the defendant acted willfully if he intended to kill. ... acted deliberately if he carefully weighed the considerations for and against his choice and, knowing the consequences, decided to kill. ... acted with premeditation if he decided to kill before completing the act that caused death."
Schneider tried to paint the picture that Forsberg acted in the heat of passion after a buildup of frustration over his sexless marriage and thus committed voluntary manslaughter, which applies if it's determined the defendant "was provoked. ... As a result of the provocation acted rashly and under the influence of intesne emotion that obscured his reasoning or judgment; and the provocation would have caused a person of average disposition to act rashly and without due deliberation, that is, from passion rather than from judgment."
Those kinds of decisions the jury makes will play an important role in Forsberg's fate. At 63 years of age, first-degree murder will carry with it a penalty of 25 years to life and would essentially guarantee he dies in prison. Second degree murder would be 15 years and voluntary manslaughter would be 11, but he could be out in seven.
- Day 1: Forsberg Trial Begins Today
- Day 1: 'What He Left Of Her Was ... Nothing!'
- Day 1:
- Day 2: 'What Do You Do With A Dead Body?'
- Day 3: 'Everything Else Was Incidental'
- Day 4: 'Both Sides Rest'
While Baytieh appealed for common sense, that was Schneider's best argument as well.
"If Mr. Forsberg made a decision to kill his wife, he's not going to hit her with a figurine," Schneider said. "The object that you use is not going to be a one-pound, six-armed figurine. You're going to use a gun. … Think about the object that he used. … You take a gun. You take a knife. Maybe you take a baseball bat. But you don't pick up a figurine with the intent to kill. Maybe you pick up a figurine with the intent to assault, to commit battery."
Schneider showed photos of the Forsbergs' home on Cascada and noted there was no furniture in the front room or pictures on the walls, and the refrigerator was kept in the garage. He touched on Marcia's continuing health issues, and the onset of bickering that had begun in December of 2009.
"it was a roommate relationship with ineffective communications," Schneider said. "By the look of the house you can tell they're walking on eggshells. ... They started having issues and it culminated in this event."
Schneider said that Marcia had a social outlet, her friends—about a dozen of them were in the courtroom—but Forsberg's social outlet was his wife.
Schneider went through elements of Forsberg's confession and pointed out the ways in which he might have been immoral but he wasn't a killer, that he expressed remorse throughout the process following his attempted suicide.
Baytieh countered the onset of remorse came with Forsberg's crumbling story about his wife's whereabouts. For six months he told friends and family they were having marital discord and Marcia was visiting a friend in Phoenix to work things out. As Orange County Sheriff investigators began to close in, Forsberg went to Palm Springs and attempted to kill himself with a drug overdose of Ambien, Soma and Flexeril.
Before doing so, he wrote letters to his family and an investigator which Baytieh said painted the college administrator as "self-centered," noting that Forsberg never wrote a note to his wife's family apologizing for his actions.
Instead of saying he killed her, Baytieh said Forsberg wrote: "I assisted her in dying and feel responsible."
"Why would he minimize what he did," Baytieh asked. "He writes this thinking he's not going to get up" from his suicide attempt.
Baytieh explained that in a letter to Forsberg's parents, he wrote: "I feel responsible for Marcia's death and I'm so troubled I would rather die than go on living."
"Baloney," Bayteih said, noting that Forsberg had with him his passport and that it wasn't necessary for entrance into the afterlife.

Baytieh continued his assault, noting Forsberg's typed letter that says "I was angry, scared, frustrated and very scattered in my thinking."
He then showed a photo taken April 11, 2010—two months after the killing—of Forsberg smiling and holding up his catch on a fishing trip to Catalina.
"That's him," Baytieh said. "Really broken up."
Forsberg referred to destroying his wife's body as a "cremation" and that he had dispersed some of her ashes in Ojai, at the base of a tree, and in the ocean while talking to his wife's spirit.
Baytieh pulled a quote from one of Forsberg's interviews: "I scooped up the top layer of ash and took it to the dumpster that was in the campground. … He comes up with a story about putting her ashes in the ocean. He wanted to get rid of every piece of evidence—you think he's going to go back with a bag of ashes with him?"
Baytieh at one point told the jury that he paid Forsberg a huge compliment "by calling him a human being because what he did to his wife is inhumane."
With about a dozen of Marcia's friends and former classmates from Nordhoff High in Ojai present, Baytieh asked the jury about remorse.
"Remorseful? That business card tells you all that you need to know," Baytieh said. "Do you think there's a little bit of humanity left in him? She was supposed to be safe. It's the place she's supposed to feel safe—in bed next to her husband of 39 years, they'd been together 42 years, on their 42nd anniversary."
Instead, according to Forsberg's own testimony, she said something dismissive to him and turned over and pulled the covers up.
It "triggered a rage," he said.
And then he reached for the figurine.

Weed Problems in Your Ponds?
Farm ponds provide fishing, boating and other outdoor opportunities for many Alabamians. Occasionally, however, an overabundance of aquatic plants may interfere with these activities and affect the aesthetic value of ponds.
When aquatic plants become too abundant, management to reduce or eliminate them may be necessary. Management for problem plants includes treatment using various EPA-approved aquatic herbicides, biological control, and mechanical control. Proper identification of the plant or plants that are causing the problem is essential before a management plan can be selected. Fisheries biologists employed by the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division are trained to identify aquatic plants and provide management recommendations to help pond owners when a problem arises.
Our staff is small and is seldom able to visit ponds except during June and September. Aquatic plants can be identified using our on-line guide to aquatic plants or a sample of the problem plant can be mailed or transported to a District Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Office. Watch videos about this.
Aquatic plants can easily be prepared for transportation or shipping using readily available household items. Collect the problem plant from the pond, being careful to get at least one complete plant - this should include roots, stems, leaves and flowers, if present. Place the collected plant on a moist paper towel and then cover with another moist paper towel. These towels should be damp but not wet enough for water to drip from them. Seal these towels with the plant sample inside in a zip-closing plastic bag, taking care to leave some airspace in this container. Either label the bag or attach a label with the pond owner's name, phone number, and mailing address. If you mail the sample, place the plastic bag and contents in a manila envelope prior to mailing. Bring or mail the sample to the District Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Office in your area. Plant samples handled as described will remain in good condition for about five days. Since our staff is small, please call prior to mailing or bringing a sample so the biologist can be prepared to examine the plant sample as soon as possible after it arrives.
After the plant or plants from your pond have been identified, a fisheries biologist will contact you to gather information about the pond such as size, approximate percent of area covered by the plant in question, and the quantity of water flowing through the pond. The biologist will then be able to offer a management recommendation for removing or reducing the aquatic plants that are causing problems.
Videos about aquatic weed problems may viewed. To locate the office that serves your area, either contact us by writing the Fisheries Section, Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries, 64 North Union Street, Montgomery, Alabama 36130 or look it up on our technical staff Web page.
Auburn University staff will also identify your aquatic weed.

Spicy Cabbage Kimchi47 Reviews 4 Pics

"Kimchi, a popular Korean dish, is best described as a spicy, slightly sweet, pickled or fermented cabbage. I spent a year in South Korea and fell in LOVE with Kimchi! My friend Myong was kind enough to share her recipe and technique with me. Some ingredients may not be readily available in your local supermarket. Look for Kimchi (Fish) Sauce and Korean chili powder in Asian markets or online. Use kimchi in stir fries or your favorite Korean dishes."

Original recipe yields 14 cups
- Cut the cabbages in half lengthwise and trim the ends. Rinse and cut into pieces about 2 inch square. Place the cabbage into large resealable bags and sprinkle salt on the leaves so they are evenly coated. Use your hands to rub the salt in to the leaves. Seal the bags and leave at room temperature for 6 hours.
- Rinse the salt from the cabbage leaves and then drain and squeeze out any excess liquid. Place the cabbage in a large container with a tight fitting lid. Stir in the fish sauce, green onions, white onion, garlic, sugar and ginger. Sprinkle the Korean chile powder over the mixture. Wear plastic gloves to protect your hands and rub the chile powder into the cabbage leaves until evenly coated. Seal the container and set in a cool dry place. Leave undisturbed for 4 days. Refrigerate before serving, and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month (if it lasts that long!).

Made 2 batches, the first exactly as the recipe instructed except that I used regular crushed hot peppers as I could not find the Korean sort. Most grocery stores with an asian section now carry fish sauce, though it is generallt labled "Thai" fish sauce. Even after much rinsing of the cabbage this recipe was so salty that if any fermentation took place the tingle was lost in the brine. So then... I took the advice of another reviewer and cut the salt in half. This still drew out the water beautifully. I also like a bit more ginger in my Kimchi, so I omitted the ground ginger and added 2 (1") pieces of sliced dried ginger and 2 Tbsp of diced crystalized (candied/ sugared) ginger. Also added a Tbsp of whole black peppercorns. After 4 days in the closet and a day in the 'fridge the Kimchee was bubbly and yummy! This was very easy to make, and the ingredients are inexpensive. I won't be going back to the jar stuff from the grocery store! I understand every Korean Kimchi maker has his/her secret recipe, so just keep adjusting yours until you find what you like!
This is one of the easier kimchi recipes I've come across. Some people may find it a little to salty or spicy. There are milder recipes out there, some with low sodium. "Fish sauce" is a rather non-specific ingredient. Since I'm allergic to shrimp, I usually try to find the kind which doesn't contain shrimp, even though it is usually a primary ingredient in kimchi. Kimchi is an acquired taste for some people. I hated it at first, but even so, I kept craving it. I now eat it every day. It is super-healthy and low calorie. Korean food in general is great if you are trying to lose weight!
I love, love, love kimchi. This came out a little salty for me so I cut the salt in half. It still drew the water out of the cabbage leaves and it all reduced well. I thought that I would get a little creative and added sesame oil for an additional flavor. My Korean friends told me to eat the kimchi quickly as oil will cause it to spoil. How do you spoil fermented (spoiled) cabbage? Anyway, it tasted great, but I didn't feel like eating two quarts of kimchee that quickly. My friends were happy with that. If you have ever heard the term "kimchi breath" you'll know what I mean. As a previous reviewer stated, I hated kimchee at first, particularly the smell of it. But now I crave it. I'll eat it with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. By the way, a serving is like a quarter cup. Small, but loaded with flavor.

Sent to Patch by the Ridge Park PTO:
Students at Ridge Park Elementary School can look forward to celebrating a very special birthday this Fall. Ridge Park opened its doors in 1962 and plans are underway for a 50th anniversary celebration including a themed Fall Country Fair "50 Fruitful Years" on October 18th from 6-8 p.m.
"We're celebrating 50 years of excellence in education and strong traditions," said Dr. Michael McKenna, principal. "To kick off this school year, we learned that Ridge Park was named a 2012 National Blue Ribbon School. We look forward to sharing this news with past and present Ridge Park community members at the anniversary event."
Teachers Amy Venkus and Brian Adams are organizing the anniversary event and have received many pictures and stories from past students and teachers through a Facebook group to publicize the occasion.
"The outpouring of stories and photos from past students and teachers has been fantastic. Everyone has fond memories of their years at Ridge Park and are eager to visit the school to see how it has grown over the years and to catch up with old friends," said Brian Adams, technology teacher.
The country fair will include old-fashioned activities and games including a moon bounce, hayride, pumpkin walk, and bean bag toss, along with refreshments and tours of the school. Ridge Park families, faculty, staff and special guests will receive a commemorative gift marking the 50th Anniversary.
In addition to the country fair, current students will celebrate the occasion with Panther Pride activities during the school day.
"Our students and teachers take great pride in their school and the 50th anniversary will allow students to realize that they are part of a larger community," said Amy Venkus, music teacher.
The school has evolved and expanded over the years as the population grew. The original school was designed in an open classroom format with sliding walls. Beginning in the 1980's, the classrooms reverted back to the traditional configuration and have been that way since. In 2004, an addition expanded the school to include six classrooms to accommodate full day kindergarten. This wing also houses music instruction for all students. There are currently 370 students enrolled at Ridge Park and approximately 60 faculty and staff.
The biggest changes over the years have been expansion of the building along with advancements in technology allowing for technology rich learning opportunities. Students are being acquainted with technology beginning in Kindergarten. Ridge Park boasts a morning news program, "Ridge Park Today," bringing televised morning announcements to each classroom. Technology is an important part of the current curriculum with a lab setting that includes both PC's and iPads.
Additionally, notebook computers allow for portability from classroom to classroom. This year, a state of the art sound system has been installed in the gymnasium to enhance assemblies, author visits, physical education, presentations and programs. The new system also integrates with current technology.
"Ridge Park has grown tremendously over the past 50 years and we look forward to helping students face the challenges of the next 50 years as we move forward in the 21st Century," said Dr. McKenna.

The Express-Star
I'm sick of hearing people complain about things in the city and they do absolutely nothing to help fix the problem. People call and complain about what the city votes for or against, but they have never been to a city council meeting. They complain about not having anything to do or anywhere to go but they just sit back and complain. And the most recent complaint I heard was about the Chickasha Animal Shelter.
There is a Facebook page entitled, "Pets lost, found and selling around." It is a fantastic site that allows you to post photographs of missing and found animals and serves as an information gateway in the animal community. But one thing I think Chickasha residents don't understand is the low number of staff members at the Chickasha Animal Shelter. Last time I heard there are only two main employees, but that number may of changed. Something I don't understand is the number of people breeding dogs and charging thousands when there are thousands of animals that don't have homes throughout the country, especially here in Chickasha. If you want to see more employees, talk to your council members. Volunteer to lend a helping hand. Donate supplies, food or medicine to help lower costs. And above all, please look into adopting a dog before buying one from a breeder. There are so many dogs that need love and a nice and happy home! People say, oh I don't want a shelter or rescue dog. They may be dangerous or they may have been abused before. I adopted my puppy from an animal shelter when I lived in Tulsa and she is the sweetest thing I could of ever hoped for. Sure when I first got her it was really hard and a lot of work and time, but it's such a blessing to get to raise something so loving and cute as my dog Pippa.

Road-related repairs due to the spring and summer storm damage last year amounted to $189,000, according to Cass County Roads Department Construction Foreman Jerry Fleischman.
It was the second year in a row where county road crews spent considerable time during the construction season on storm damage repair.
2007's work involved some bigger projects like bridges, said Fleischman, but 2008 involved work at 55 different locations.
It's anticipated that Federal Emergency Management Agency funds will cover 75% of the total.

Deborah Cullinan and Marc Bamuthi Joseph talk creative ecosystems and Young Jean Lee's 'Untitled Feminist Show'
Marc Bamuthi Joseph The day that this feature runs will be my second anniversary. My last work [red, black & GREEN: a blues] was commissioned here, and premiered here. I interviewed for this position three days after the premiere. That last work was built around an integrated, documentary process of asking public intellectuals, doers, activists of all stripes—and by activists I don't mean by vocation but in the purest sense of the word—to contemplate a question and create a physical response. The result, in terms of making art but also in terms of my personal relationships (the way that community might interact with an artistic process), was something that I essentially adapted and created here.
Our community engagement program is a curatorial department. It doesn't function as a traditional department in that it's not supplementary. They are agitators; they are intentional. They make space, as opposed to supplementing work. Their gig is not to cue up the Q&A after a play. [It's] ultimately about the cultivation of relationships.
So that's what the creative ecosystem is. It's an adjunct to my own artistic process; it's a scheme and structure that works within the infrastructure that we have at Yerba Buena Center. What we do is we curate small groups, somewhere between 30 and 50, around key questions that artists are driving. We bring these folks together in salon spaces to watch work together. So, for Young Jean Lee, the questions are: "What is on the other side of your body's joy?" and "What is on the other side of your body's shame?" The group has been together for about a year. And when we present the work, they'll create in our theater lobby physical responses — performative, immersive, antagonistic, and also very vulnerable responses to those questions of joy and shame in the body.
Having piloted a group already (which was contemplating futurity and soul), and now working with body politics, we're going to add a layer of the onion every year, so that in the coming years we'll have hundreds if not thousands of folks operating on our campus not just as audience members but as agents within artistic inquiry, so that while we're here it's a place of thinking and doing and not just watching.
SFBG Who makes up this group?
MBJ They come from all over the educational spectrum, and all over the vocational spectrum. That too is by design. We wanted at least 10 different practices in each of these groups. These groups aren't made up of artists exclusively, and ideally artists are in the minority. What we're creating is a platform by which an arts space might be a hub for diverse intellectual activity. It's art-framed, but it's not necessarily art-centered.
DC I'm excited to see us pursue not an either/or definition of what an arts center is — or what art is — but a both/and. What we're trying to suggest here is that the more we consider what the art is doing, who's gathering around it or who's making it, the more valuable that art itself is. The community engagement structure Marc talked about suggests that if you don't have an active curatorial arm asking, "Who's not here still?" and "What don't we know yet?" then the curatorial structure is static. I think putting things together in this way means it's much more of a circle, and it's much more inclusive.

— The Anniston Star on the proper way to legislate:
Legislation often is proposed because lawmakers want to draw attention to themselves, puff-up their reputation or challenge their opponents and dare them to oppose their idea.
In other words, politics.
So it's refreshing to see legislation being written the way legislation should be.
Alabama law enforcement had a problem. Under state law, second-degree burglary is committed "when a person unlawfully enters a lawfully occupied residence with intent to commit a theft or felony inside." Well, that should be illegal.
The problem, however, is that "lawfully occupied" is interpreted to mean the homeowner is home. So burglars wait until the homeowner leaves and then breaks in. If the burglar is caught, the crime is considered third-degree burglary and the punishment is considerably less harsh. The milder the penalty, the more willing burglars are to take the chance.
The Alabama Fraternal Order of Police legislative committee recognized the problem and came up with a plan to change the law so that it would read that if someone "enters a livable dwelling-house whether occupied or not with intent to commit a theft or a felony therein," it would be second-degree burglary. The committee asked Rep. Randy Wood, R-Anniston, to review their idea and prepare a bill that would address the problem.
Wood did just that, and the bill will be introduced in the Legislature soon.
This page urges our representatives and senators to support the measure.
This page also commends the Fraternal Order of Police and Wood for showing us, once again, how our legislative system is supposed to work. Little fanfare or hype. A problem recognized and a problem addressed.
This is how it should be done.

RAVENSDALE, Wash. -- Overcrowding has reached a critical point, according to the Tahoma School District.
Some school leaders and parents are trying to come up with a way to deal with the growing number of students and a limited amount of space. Total enrollment for the district is about 7,400 students. At that number, Tahoma schools are full. As a result 25% of the district's students are in portable classrooms at any given time, according to the district's public information officer Kevin Patterson.
The Ad Hoc Citizen Committee on Student Housing was formed to come up with possible solutions to the overcrowding issue. The group recently drafted a proposal. It boils down to two possible solutions. One, try to re-run the April 2011 bond measure. The $125 million construction bond was rejected by voters last April. If a scaled back version passes this time around, problem solved, according to the committee. If the bond does not pass, then the committee recommends the district move to year-round school or have students attend classes in double shifts.
As for short term solutions to overcrowding, the list of ideas includes the following:
- Using computer labs and music rooms as regular classrooms
- Eliminate all day kindergarten
- Use the school district's headquarters to house classes
- Lease commercial space or churches for classes
- Shift some junior high students back into middle schools where there is more room
- Encourage more online learning
- Use gymnasiums as regular classrooms and waive PE classes
- Encourage early graduation
School Board President Mary Jane Glaser said she is concerned the proposed ideas could water down what the district wants to accomplish. Parent Erin Weaver is worried about that too.
"We are reaching today a tipping point on whether we are going to see continued success, or whether we are going to have some of our quality programs erode," said Weaver.

Rain is expected to slide down from the north by late this morning and give a good soaking to the Silicon Valley.
By 9 a.m., the rainstorm had reached San Francisco International Airport. Overnight, and into the morning, higher peaks in Marin County had reported rain levels of up to four inches.
Today is also the heaviest travel day of the holiday season at SFO. An estimated 130,000 passengers are expected to pass through, and more than 2 million holiday travelers are expected to use the airport between today and Jan. 6, SFO spokesman Doug Yakel said.
At the airport, 26 departing flights and 28 arrivals had been cancelled as of 9:30 a.m. Particularly hard hit were passengers expecting to fly on SkyWest Airlines, which cancelled 35 flights according to flightstats.com.
Snow and turbulent winter weather in the Midwest is also causing flights delays between the Bay Area and Chicago, said SFO duty manager Linda Perry.
A high wind advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. with southern winds up to 20 mph.
Rain and thunderstorms are expected to continue tonight with lows expected to be in the lower 50s, and southern winds up to 20 mph.

It's that time of year again...You know what it is... It's Goal setting time!
This is the time of year that we look forward to that fresh new calendar... a landscape of dreams and possibilities...
Have you set goals for yourself this year? Whether you call them goals or resolutions, the idea is you are resolving to do, become, or accomplish these things in your mind you desire the most...
So then, how can we increase our chances of success? Let's discuss!
- Be specific:
All goals in life are better achieved if you are specific and not vague.
For ex: "be organized" is not as powerful as saying "I
resolve to have my desk organized by March 1st". By being specific,
you can create a strategic plan with specific actions.
By writing your goals down, and making them visible daily you are more
likely to be successful because you have a daily reminder. This in turn
helps you see it, think about it, and feel it often. The visibility
becomes a daily reminder of your greatest desires. Making a vision board
and posting it in your office is a great way to ask yourself
daily..."Is what I'm doing right now a path to achieving my
Being accountable to only ourselves is a set up for disaster. Have you
ever crossed off a deadline only to replace it with a later date? Join a
group or even one other person and have them hold you accountable. Having
an accountability partner helps keep you focused and on Target.
Someone once told me "strive for excellence, not perfection"
(tell that to a perfectionist personality! E-Gads!) Be realistic with your
timeframes; don't set unrealistic expectations. We often fail to realize
how much time or skill some projects may actually require.
Ask for help:
Learning how to delegate under the right conditions not only frees up so much
of your time, but ultimately helps you accomplish more and spend your time more
wisely on those things that require your specific skills. By not delegating,
you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed and not focusing on the
important things.

Blockbuster Drugs That Will Go Generic Soon
Once a drug loses patent protection, cheaper generics quickly capture 80 percent of prescriptions.
Healthcare costs have been rising faster than overall prices, but some prescription-drug relief is on the way. Over the next few years, an abnormally large number of blockbuster drugs are scheduled to lose their patent protection, opening the doors to cheaper generic drugs.
Already, generics have become the dominant branch of the prescription-drug family. According to its annual study of U.S. medicine use, the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics recently reported that generics accounted for 78 percent of all prescriptions last year.
[See 10 Smart Ways to Improve Your Budget.]
When a branded drug is joined in the market by its generic equivalent, prices fall rapidly and sharply. "Over 80 percent of a brand's prescription volume is replaced by generics within six months of patent loss," according to the IMS report.
Last year, the average co-pay for a generic drug prescription was $6.06, while the average co-pay for a brand-name drug prescription was about four to six times higher, depending on the type of branded drug being prescribed.
Medco Health Solutions, a large provider of pharmacy services, provided U.S. News with a list of the major patent expirations set to occur during the remainder of 2011 and 2012. The biggest drug set to lose protection this year is Lipitor, the cholesterol-reducing medication, which goes off patent in November. Next year, several big drugs will go generic, including Actos, Plavix, Seroquel, and Singulair (see details below).
[See 12 Money Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes.]
Patented drugs with large sales have generic makers lined up to move quickly into the market when patents expire, notes Medco's chief financial officer, Rich Rubino. "For the [large] products that we're talking about, the generics will get their approval on the patent date," he explains.
Studies have found that people are better about staying on their prescriptions when taking less-expensive generic medications. "Half of the folks do not completely follow their doctors' orders," Rubino says. And the recession likely worsened this trend, as visits to doctors' offices dropped and people looked for ways to skimp on medical expenses. "When people were watching their pennies more closely, we certainly saw a higher utilization of generics," he says. "The investment needed to stay healthy is much lower."
Here are the major-brand drugs that will lose patent protection over the coming 20 months. For each drug, the information includes the date it comes off patent, the drug's generic name, its 2009 retail sales, and a brief description of the drug's treatment use, provided by Medco.
May. Concerta (methylphenidate); $1.33 billion. Used for ADHD (attention deficit) in teens.
June. Levaquin (levofloxacin); $1.63 billion. An antibiotic used for treating bacterial infections.
October. Zyprexa (olanzapine); $1.97 billion. Used for treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
November. Lipitor (atorvastatin) ; $6.05 billion. Used for treating cholesterol.
March. Lexapro (escitalopram); $2.56 billion. Used for treating depression.
March. Seroquel (quetiapine); $3.48 billion. This is an antipsychotic medication.
May. Plavix (clopidogrel); $4.56 billion. Used to prevent unwanted blood clots to avoid heart attacks and strokes.
July. Tricor (fenofibrate); $1.35 billion. Helps reduce cholesterol and triglycerides (fatty acids) in the blood.
August. Singulair (montelukast); $3.47 billion. Used for asthma and allergies.
August. Actos (pioglitazone); $2.78 billion. This is an oral diabetic medication.
September. Diovan (valsartan); $1.47 billion. See below.
September. Diovan HCT (valsartin/hydrochlorothiazide); $1.38 billion. These drugs are used for the treatment of hypertension.
