Ozone Pollution And Your
Family's Health: What To Know
(StatePoint) Recently, the
U.S Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) strengthened the
federal limit on the amount of
allowable ozone pollution, also
known as smog, in the air we
breathe. Health groups hailed
this as a step in the right direction
to protect Americans from this
widespread and dangerous
pollutant.
"Once met, the stronger ozone
standard will prevent childhood
asthma attacks, missed days of
work and school, and premature
deaths," says Harold P. Wimmer,
National President and CEO of
the American Lung Association.
Breathing unhealthy levels
of ozone pollution is linked to
coughing, wheezing, asthma
attacks, centra nervous system
problems, heart problems and
premature death. And children are
most at risk because their lungs
are still developing, according to
the Lung Association.
The EPA's new standard will
better protect the public from
these health impacts. Experts
Julian Arts Guild
Artist Of The Month,
Evelyn Goldschmidt
Evelyn Goldschmidt will be Artist of the Month at the Julian Library
in February. Combining her love of nature and gardening with her
passion for photography and design has long been a driving force
of Evelyn's life. She received her formal training in photography at
The New School in New York City, where she grew up, and has
spent many years developing both her photographic and darkroom
skills. As founder and owner-manager of the former Creative Custom
Lab and Studio in Lag Vegas, Nevada, she has worked and taught
professionally in her chosen field for many years. Now a retired high
school teacher and three-year resident of Julian, California, Evelyn
is an officer of the Julian Arts Guild, as well as a member of both the
Borrego and Ramona Art Guilds. Her work is displayed in many San
Diego area shows, as well as at the Borrego Arts Institute, and several
other local galleries. Finally having the time and resources, Evelyn
now devotes much of her life to her dream of being a proponent of
natural imagery for her own and others' pleasure and enlightenment.
Her present work concentrates on macro and black & white imagery,
but she also greatly enjoys scenic and animal photography. Her
photographic and artistic goal is to encourage people to view flora
and fauna in extraordinary ways that might be overlooked otherwise.
Growing More From Less:
Meeting the 21st Century's
Water Challenge
(NAPS) Water, at least in the forms we need for human health,
economic growth, industrial manufacturing and farming, is scarce
and growing scarcer.,.Water is one of the greatest limiting factors in
the world's ability to feed a growing population and among the most
critical inputs in growing a successful crop. For farmers, it may also
be the most variable and unpredictable.
As an industry leader in
water optimization or, helping
crops use available water mare
effectively Syngenta is helping
farmers rethink water, with
technologies that enable them to
grow more from less.
Corn hybrids that optimize
the conversion of water to
grain represent an important
opportunity for agriculture,
especially given that weather
variability affects farmers,
to some degree, every year.
Developed by Syngenta, Agnsure
Water is one of the greatest limiting
Artesian® corn hybrids are
built with scientifically selected factors in the world's ability to feed
genes that provide the crop with a growing population. Rethinking
multiple modes of action for water is helping farmers to use
season-long water optimization, available water more effectively.
helping farmers manage gaps in rainfall that may occur throughout
the season.
A decade ago, when Syngenta researchers first embarked upon
a journey to develop water-optimized corn hybrids, they did so
with the understanding that a successful outcome would require a
sophisticated understanding of how water stress affects corn at the
TM
gene level. In developing Artesian corn hybrids, Syngenta employs
a unique scientific process to select, validate and deploy natura
corn genes that help the plant optimize water. The advantage of
this approach is that Artesian corn hybrids carry elite genetics that
respond to water stress in multiple ways. Farmers have experienced
firsthand what Syngenta research has validated: Artesian hybrids
maximize yield when it rains and increase yield when it doesn't.
Irrigation management represents another significant opportunity
for agriculture. What began as an ambitious concept to help farmers
grow more corn with less irrigation--is now a reality on farms across
the Corn Belt. In an effort to help irrigated corn growers make the
most of their available water, Syngenta and Lindsay Corporation
developed Water+TM Intelligent Irrigation Platform, an integrated
solution that enables growers to grow more corn with up to 25 percent
less irrigation than other programs.
While water will always be top-of-mind for growers, tools like
Artesian corn hybrids and Water+ Intelligent Irrigation Platform are
helping them manage their available water in revolutionary ways.

Opportunity For Teens
To Explore Watershed
This program recently implemented a pilot Watershed Explorers Program
with 25 students from High Teeh High in San Marcos, funded by a private
donoE
The San-Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC)is launching
the Watershed Explorers Program in partnersh ~p with the San Dieguito
River Park, San Diego Archaeological Center, and Volcan Mountain
Foundation on Thursday, February 11, 2016, starting at 10:00 a.m. at
the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead in Escondido,
This outdoor education program focuses on different aspects of
the watershed, starting at the headwaters of the San Dieguito River
on Volcan Mountain then heading west to Lake Sutherland, the San
Diego Archaeological Center, Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead/Lake
Hodges and finally, the award-winning Birdwing Open Air Classroom
at the San Dieguito Lagoon.
Students will be able to visit different areas in the San Dieguito
River Park, see wildlife, learn about diverse habitat types from forests
to wetlands, and learn about the impx)rtance of the cultural and natural
resources of the watershed.
"Although each watershed is unique, our intention in developing
this program that it be a model for use in other watersheds in the
region," said Trish Boaz, Executive Director of SDRVC.
The official launch of the program is in partnership with San Diego
Canyonlands and will engage students from the Cesar Chavez Club
at Monroe Clark Middle School, who have been working to restore,
preserve and protect their neighborhood canyons. After visiting Sikes,
the students will travel to the headwaters of the San Dieguito River
at Volcan Mountain near Julian, providing them with a watershed
experience.
Future partnerships will be with various Title 1 and other schools
and organizations within and outside of the San Dieguito Watershed.
"The main impediment toopening the outdoors to many students is
the cost of transportation. Most schools cannot afford transportation
costs, especially for a program that travels a whole watershed," said
Trish Boaz, Executive Director of SDRVC.
To that end, the San Diego Foundation and County Supervisor
Dianne Jacob have sponsored two new passenger vehicles that will
enable the Conservancy and its partners to expand their individual
nature education programs throughout the entire San Dieguito
Watershed and to other areas of San Diego.
When not needed for this program, the vehicles are available to
other conservation partners for their outdoor educational programs
"San Diego County is blessed with so much amazing wildlife and
natural resources, and this new program allows us to expose more
kids to those treasures," said county Supervisor Dianne Jacob. "It will
set them on a path to become future stewards of our great outdoors."
Emily Young, Vice President of Community Impact at The San
Diego Foundation, said "San Diego's outdoor environment and active
community is the lifeblood of our region. We must continue to invest
in projects that advance community-driven efforts to engage youth in
environmental programs and develop an interconnected network of
natural areas, gathering places and trails across the county so that
the outdoors is easily accessible from any San Diegan's doorstep."
