Extractions: May 30, 2003 Families are gathering together this spring in a tradition that brings generations together for a day, a weekend, or more. Andy and Mary Bronzan, who, until recently, resided in Three Rivers, hosted the Bronzan Family Reunion during Memorial Day weekend. The group went out to dinner Saturday evening, then the family reconvened Sunday at Plaza Park in Visalia for games and a barbecue. The Bronzan family has been holding annual reunions for over 60 years. May 23, 2003 For 25 years, the Conley family has met at the Lazy J Ranch Motel in Three Rivers for their annual family reunion. This year, the annual gathering was held Saturday, May 17. The Oscar Conley family consisted of 15 children. The family came to Porterville from Oklahoma in the 1940s. The majority of the Conley kids graduated from Porterville High School.

Fifth Grade Curriculum a video of our recent rube goldberg demonstrations in and other interactive activitiesthat teach them some from life, and for thumbnail studies of projects. http://www.lakesideschool.org/middleschool/5thgrade/default.htm
Extractions: The goal in fifth grade English is to help children become more confident, thoughtful readers and expressive and versatile writers. Reading instruction is built largely around chapter books or novels, with a careful examination of character, setting, plot, and theme through both discussion and writing. Short stories, myths, poetry, and nonfiction are also read, and many selections are tied to learning in social studies. Students are encouraged to make and share personal reading choices through a year-long independent reading project. A variety of writing experiences, including stories, essays, journals, retellings and poems, give children opportunities to take their talents as writers in different directions. Spelling, grammar, and vocabulary building are taught as subskills which support growth as readers and writers. This science course provides a laboratory experience through a variety of investigations that develop observational, manual, cooperative, and analytic skills. The use of the scientific inquiry method is emphasized. Lab topics include chemical reactions, designing and building simple machines, animal adaptation, and model rocketry.

Red Green, DVD* (*Duct Tape Virtuoso Deluxe) ably portrayed by Canadian comedian Steve Smith) demonstrates projects that areone part rube goldberg and many Who else would teach you how to make a http://www.ducttapeforever.com/shopping/B00005B6JP.htm
Extractions: Innovative handyman Red Green is proud to announce his first DVD, and while admitting that he doesn't understand the technology, he chooses to mark the occasion with a tribute to duct tape, that endlessly useful substance he terms "the handyman's secret weapon." In the course of the program, Green (ably portrayed by Canadian comedian Steve Smith) demonstrates projects that are one part Rube Goldberg and many parts duct tape. Some of the gags are elaborate and inspired, such as a bit about a pontoon boat you can make by stripping the heat ducts from your house ("don't forget to replace them before winter"), taping them all together, and adding an outboard motor as a finishing touch. The humor of all this is an acquired taste, and those who just don't get it would probably have to be duct taped to the television to watch Red Green. But if you enjoy this sort of offbeat humor, Duct Tape Virtuoso Deluxe is a treat. How else could you learn to make construction equipment from a stepladder and a Thigh-Master? Who else would teach you how to make a paddlewheel riverboat by taping together parts of a junked van? Only Red Green, who also thoughtfully provides tips on using all those empty duct-tape rolls to make holders for the many bottles in your "beer cellar." Bonus material on the DVD includes a trip to the actual largest duct-tape plant in the world (which Red proudly notes is "right here in Canada"), and a segment shot at a gathering of fanatical Red Green fans who show off their own duct-tape creations.

Extractions: Edmonton, Alberta Several years ago, Ms. Skinner and her fellow teachers at Ottewell School made it a priority to teach their students a number of the thinking skills developed by the psychologist Edward De Bono. Based on their experience, they have pared these down to about half a dozen basic techniques that they teach at logical points throughout the curriculum. Below she describes some of the learning tools and the context in which they are used at her school. The Ottewell science program packages integrate the provincial science curriculum and the thinking skills we derived from Edward De Bono. Teams from the various grade levels create and then constantly improve the packages. Our first priority in unit-planning is to make the lessons fun, relevant and easy. Consistently addressing all learning styles is also an important goal. We use a wide range of approaches (e.g. analogies, models, diagrams and activities) to make scientific concepts as concrete as possible and we follow a logical pattern of interconnected learning to attach new learning to old. For students, the primary benefit of the program is that they are involved in their own learning. We make it clear to them that they are expected to achieve their personal best. Given high standards for achievement and behaviour, they are made aware that they are responsible for and in control of both. We show students that they already know most of the science curriculum from experience in their daily lives; we are just helping them develop a greater awareness and learn some technical terms to help them communicate efficiently.

Extractions: Time Warp On Science On Health On Defense ... Artcam The neon sign is an inextricable part of the urban landscape whose beginnings go back over seventy years. Once used solely to draw attention to diners, bars, theatres and the like, today examples of signage from the thirties through the sixties are exhibited in art galleries. This is an example of advertising illustration developed under a craft ethic being redefined as 'functional art.' In contrast to its use in displays, several fine artists over the last 30 years have used neon as an art medium. Larry Albright is one of these artists. His work has been shown in major exhibitions and is in permanent collections worldwide. Aside from his artistic work with plasma globes and neon sculpture, he is known for his development of the mass produced "Eye of the Storm" and "White Lightning" plasma globes developed for the consumer market and for his lighting designs for the movie industry. ( AW The following interview from The Light Artist Anthology A pioneer in the development of plasma globes, this artist is better known for his work as a specialty lighting effects designer for film directors such as Steven Speilberg and Francis Ford Coppola.

The following towns are represented by the Explorer Post membership Rube Goldberg Project: Electronic Construction Project: Explorers in this project are getting the chance to do a lot of "hands on" construction of electronic circuits. They started out with the basics of how to safely use the tools such as wire cutters and soldering irons. Then on to learning how to read an engineering drawing, schematic, parts list and assembly procedure. They experimented with a number of simple circuits to learn about electronic components: how to distinguish a diode from a capacitor; how to tell the value of a resistor, how to tell the polarity of an LED (light emitting diode).
