Caution – Summer food safety
Summer picnics are fun to have. It is great fun for family and friends to gather and visit; children and adults to play games and yes; Let’s not forget the food. It is a great time for family and friends to meet and have a great time and let’s not for forget the food. When all the fun of the picnic and games are over; it is not much fun to get half way home and have little Jimmy throwing up in the back seat. Be very careful and use every precaution possible, where food is concerned. Your family’s health is a risk. Foodborne illness is no fun.
“Summer food safety: foodborne illness is no picnic
Published: Thursday, July 01, 2010
By MID-MICHIGAN DISTRICT
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Now that backyard barbeques and family picnics are in full swing, the Mid-Michigan District Health Department would like to take the opportunity to reinforce the importance of proper food handling and remind residents that food safety should always be on the front burner.
During the summer months more people cook outside at picnics, barbecues and while camping, without easy access to refrigeration and washing facilities to keep food safe.
“As the temperature rises, so does the risk of foodborne illness,” said Kimberly Singh, Health Officer for MMDHD. “Hot, humid weather creates the perfect conditions for the rapid growth of bacteria.”
The most common types of foodborne illnesses are those caused by the bacteria Campylobacter, Salmonella and E coli, and by a group of viruses called calicivirus, also known as Norovirus.
“Many food-related illnesses go unreported due to the mistaken belief that it is just the ’24 hour flu,’ said Singh.
“Common foodborne illness symptoms consist of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea and on average last 24 to 48 hours.”
To minimize the risks of foodborne illness, follow these four easy steps when handling and preparing food:
Step One – Clean
Wash hands and surfaces often to avoid the spread of bacteria.
Wash hands with hot, soapy water for at least 20 seconds before handling food, and after handling raw meats or poultry, using the bathroom, touching pets or changing diapers. Hand sanitizer is a good alternative if no soap and water are available.
Always wash raw fruits and vegetables in clean water. You cannot tell whether foods carry surface bacteria by the way they look, smell or taste.
Step Two – SEPARATE
Keep raw meats and poultry separate from cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination.
When you pack a cooler for an outing, wrap uncooked meats and poultry securely, and put them on the bottom to prevent raw juices from dripping onto other foods.
Keep all plates, utensils and cutting boards that touched or held raw meat or poultry separate from those to be used for cooked foods. Do not reuse plates, utensils and cutting boards for cooked foods after they have been used for raw foods. Pack extra paper goods and properly wash all used items at home.
Step Three – COOK
Make sure you kill harmful bacteria by properly cooking food.
Traditional visual cues like color are not a guarantee that food is safe. Don’t guess! Take a digital instant-read food thermometer along to check when meat and poultry are safe to eat. Cooked foods are safe to eat when internal temperatures are:
155 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds for ground beef
145 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds for beef steak
165 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds for poultry
145 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 seconds for pork chops/steak
Step Four – CHILL (Keep cold food cold)
Perishable foods that are normally in the refrigerator, such as luncheon meats, cooked meat, chicken, and potato or pasta salads, must be kept in an insulated cooler with freezer packs or bags of ice to keep the temperature at or near 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put leftovers back in the cooler as soon as you are finished eating.
The simple rule is: When in doubt, throw it out.

FOR WANT OF A NAIL
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
Small things make a big difference during challenging, trouble times.
Look, we all know these are challenging economic times. I don’t need to remind you of that. Sometimes, however, when we are challenged personally, we understandably overlook the larger challenges that surround us. In other words, while you feel alone in your struggles, you would often be shocked to learn of others around you struggling as much or more.
TamPogo exists to help you in the struggle to recover economically and to grow personally and financially. Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy and I know you understand that. But what you might not understand is how deep the problems around you actually are. I wanted to outline a case in point to help you understand the depth of the economic problems you are working so hard to overcome. You might be surprised to know what I am about to tell you was actually new information to me as well.
My case in point involves manufacturing consumer goods. Manufacturing consumer goods is a very vertical enterprise. Graphically represented it looks like this: End User (You) -> Seller (TamPogo) -> Manufacturer (FDA register facility) -> Materials and Ingredients suppliers (i.e. bottles, lids, capsules, nutrients) -> Materials and Ingredient Distributors -> Material Manufacturers, Ingredient importers and manufacturers and plastic extruders.
In words, you work hard and struggle to make ends meet and purchase one or more products that you hope will improve your health or quality of life. At TamPogo we try to make the best products available to you at the lowest price which often means we need to have it made. To make a product, we send the specific formula we want made to an FDA registered supplement and/or pharmaceutical manufacturing plant. The manufacturing plant purchases the raw ingredients from nutrient distributors, tests them, blends them, puts them in a capsule or liquid form, bottles them and labels them, etc. They also purchase the capsules from capsule makers, bottles from bottle distributors and lids from lid distributors. The nutrient distributors purchase the ingredients from importers or direct ingredient manufacturers, the bottle distributors purchase the bottles from plastic extruders and the lid distributors purchase lids from lid manufacturing plants.
In the past, this was a fairly predictable and controllable process, often taking 4-6 weeks to complete. I would make an order and a month or more later it would show up at the door with a bill giving me 30-60 days credit to pay. But we are not living in the past; we are living in the economic challenging times of 2010. And here is how the process has changed, much of which is to my recent shock!!
When TamPogo orders a product it provides the manufacturer with the customary 50% down that troubled times require. The remaining 50% is due on shipment. After all, in today’s economic times there is no such thing as credit!
But to my shock, here is what is happening. And it seems to be universal. In the due course of making all the products that we make, we deal with a half dozen or more of the top manufacturers, virtually all of the most reputable ingredient and material distributors who in turn deal with the top manufacturers and importers. These are the crème de la crème of American producers and suppliers. So when I say it’s universal, I mean universal to even the best of the best.
What is actually happening TODAY is that the manufacturing facility gets paid their large down payment and may or may not purchase the ingredients and supplies immediately, based on other bills which may need to be paid as a result of less orders, retracted commercial credit, escalating fixed costs, etc. When they make their purchases, either eventually or immediately, the distributors often have no inventory to supply the order for many of the same reasons. Shipping those orders must wait until they pay their manufacturers and importers to receive the product they need to forward. You get the picture – a wild pack of variable wait times and few scheduling truths.
What I discovered in this past week in nutrition and skin care is happening in many different product niches. The steps that in good times seemed so small are actually conspiring to keep the troubled economy down. The longer it takes to receive inventory, the less products are consumed and the lower the total sales volume is – fueling continued downturns in the economy. A perfect example of the little proverb I cited above. For want of the nail, the war is being lost.
We won’t let that happen at TamPogo. Our business model is a solution to many of the economic problems the world faces. We have covered that before. But now TamPogo needs to become more – and it will. I have personally stepped in last week to begin pre-purchasing huge amounts of raw materials, bottles, etc. and supply the distributors and manufacturers, even publically traded ones, so that we are no longer a victim the cycle that we described above. While my solving the vertical material madness that plagues manufacturing today isn’t feasible across the globe, it is for our nutrition and skin care business. This move should eliminate back orders over a very short period and allow us to introduce more products faster.

UTAH MORMON PIONEER DAY – 2010
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
I remember growing up in Weston Idaho in the 1940’s and ‘50’s and going to the 24th of July parade and other activities. It was always a big deal. Those memories have never left me. However I have never returned so see another celebration in my home town. I can help but wonder what they are like today.
Our little town of Enterprise, Utah has a Parade and rodeo every year. The local farmers donate small foul and animals, which are turned loose in the arena. All the little children attempt to catch them and are allowed to take what they are able to catch home with them. It is a great deal of fun to watch.
My pioneer ancestors settled in Weber County, Utah and Franklin County, Idaho. My husband’s family settled in Sanpete County, Utah. Our ancestors had to endure so many trials and tribulation, in order for us to enjoy religious freedom. It pains me to think how much I owe them.
PIONEER DAY
“The first company of Mormon pioneers, led by Brigham Young, officially entered the Valley of the Great Salt Lake on 24 July 1847. For Latter-day Saints, this event has come to signal the founding of a new homeland for the purpose of establishing their earthly Zion.
Mormon pioneers first commemorated this new beginning in 1849. The celebration took place near the spot that Young had recently designated as the site of a future temple, the holiest place in Mormondom. The observance consisted of a procession, which led Brigham Young from his home to a bowery on Temple Square to which members of the nearly twenty local LDS congregations had marched earlier that morning behind their respective bishops. Under the bowery, Young presided over a devotional full of both religious reverence and zeal. The celebration ended with a thanksgiving feast for a bountiful harvest and the blessings of a merciful God.
From these obscure but auspicious beginnings, Pioneer Day (also called Covered Wagon Days, Days of `47, or simply July 24th) has grown into one of the largest regional celebrations in the United States. Salt Lake City remains the center of this observance, but the founding of a Mormon homeland is annually commemorated throughout the Mormon Culture Region and elsewhere among LDS congregations. In the words of sociologist Thomas O’Dea, Pioneer Day has become “the greatest Mormon holiday.”
As is became established as a major Mormon tradition, Pioneer Day was celebrated as a birthday, an independence day, and a thanksgiving day for Mormons, as well as a foretaste of the celebration of the Saints that would usher in the millennium at the end of time. During the celebrations, major social groups (based on age, gender, marital status, occupation, residence, and ecclesiastical or civic position) interacted in ways to ritually review the society’s vitality and solidarity. Customary activities–including parades, devotionals, sporting events, feasts, dances, excursions, and reunions–also often served to remind the Saints of the religious foundations of their group identity. The specific meanings of Pioneer Day for Mormonism can be best seen through a series of historical vignettes.
In 1857 several thousand Mormons gathered in the mountains east of Salt Lake City for the tenth anniversary of the founding of their western Zion. In the context of one of the largest and most exuberant public displays of Mormonism to date, the celebrants became aware of the approach of Johnston’s Army, which initiated the tense but essentially non-violent Utah War.
During the subsequent “federal occupation” of Utah, Pioneer Day was celebrated little, if at all. Once the tension had subsided, however, the Mormons renewed celebrating their heritage. The observance of Pioneer Day expanded as the Mormon Culture Region filled the Intermountain West. In the 1860s and 1870s this celebration reflected the self-proclaimed identity of the Latter-day Saints as “modern Israel,” chosen and lead by God to prepare the earth for the millennial reign of Christ.
In 1880 the Mormons commemorated the fiftieth anniversary of the church’s formal organization. Although this event was remembered at the church’s semiannual general conference in April, its principal observance was on 24 July. Tens of thousands of Latter-day Saints in hundreds of communities participated in this jubilee, which was as enthusiastic a celebration as the Mormons had ever created.
The following years saw Mormonism face the anti-polygamy persecutions that nearly produced its demise. Pioneer Day celebrations were subdued or informal and reflected the ambivalence of this period. The 1886 celebration was particularly poignant. The tabernacle on Temple Square was draped, not as usual in colorful bunting, but in black, as for a funeral, and pioneers and church leaders who were in hiding or prison for “unlawful cohabitation” were eulogized for their devotion to the cause of Mormonism.
In contrast, for the 1897 jubilee the Mormons pulled out all the stops. They were celebrating not only the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the pioneers, but also the completion of the Salt Lake Temple, Utah statehood, and the virtual end of anti-polygamy persecutions. The spiritual and historical legacy was amply displayed and celebrated, as were the agricultural and industrial products of their efforts in their land of promise. The details and activities of the celebration reinforced Mormonism’s security about its past and confidence about its future.
In the twentieth century, Pioneer Day has increasingly reflected the cultural and religious heterogeneity of the Mormon Culture Region and of the LDS Church in general. To be sure, pioneering ideals have remained dominant in the celebrations, but the usual themes of “frontier,” “homeland,” “Zion in the tops of the mountains,” and so on have been increasingly applied metaphorically to concerns and ambitions, not exclusively of the Mormons, but of the wider societies in which Latter-day Saints live. In larger cities, especially, the celebration has become more secular, and is seen as a means of coming together and celebrating the society that has been built by Mormons and non-Mormons alike. Though to Mormons the celebration may always bring to mind the pioneers of 1847, to the society as a whole the day is one to celebrate the building of the society by “pioneers” of many eras and backgrounds.”

Pioneer Day (Utah)
“From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses of this title, see Pioneer Day (disambiguation).
Pioneer Day (also archaically called the Day of Deliverance)[1] is an official holiday celebrated on July 24 in the U.S. state of Utah,[2] with some celebrations in regions of surrounding states originally settled by Mormon pioneers.[3][4] It commemorates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847,[5] where the Latter-day Saints settled after being forced from Nauvoo, Illinois and other locations in the eastern United States.[6] Parades, fireworks, rodeos, and other festivities help commemorate the event.
In addition to being an official holiday in Utah, Pioneer Day is considered a special occasion by many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[7][8] On Pioneer Day, some Latter-day Saints walk portions of the Mormon Trail or reenact entering the Salt Lake Valley by handcart.[9] Latter-day Saints throughout the United States[10][11] and around the world may celebrate July 24 in remembrance of the LDS Churches’ pioneer era, with songs, dances, and pioneer related activities.[12][13]
While the holiday has strong links to the LDS Church, it is a celebration of everyone, regardless of faith and nationality, who emigrated to the Salt Lake Valley during the pioneer era, which is generally considered to have ended with the 1869 arrival of the transcontinental railroad.[14] Notable non-LDS American pioneers from this period include Bishop Daniel Tuttle, who was responsible for Utah’s first non-Mormon schools (Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s) and first public hospital (St. Mark’s) in the 1800s.[15] The Intertribal Powwow at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City honors the rich cultural heritage and contributions of the area’s American Indians, helping Utahns to gain a deeper understanding of the region’s history.[16]
The holiday generates a great deal of road traffic; Utah Department of Public Safety statistics demonstrate that Pioneer Day has the second highest holiday traffic fatality rate in Utah, with the earlier July 4 Independence Day having the highest rate.[17]

History
The earliest precursor to Pioneer Day celebrations in Utah occurred on July 24, 1849, when the Nauvoo Brass Band lead a commemoration of the second anniversary of the Latter-day Saints entering the Salt Lake Valley.[18]
The first celebration of Pioneer Day in 1857 was interrupted with news of the approach of Johnson’s Army, heralding the beginning of the Utah War.[19] During the following occupation of the Utah Territory by federal troops, Pioneer Day was not celebrated.[20] Once President Abraham Lincoln initiated a hands-off policy on Utah in 1862 during the American Civil War[21] Pioneer Day was once again observed, and expanded into the surrounding areas as the Mormon Corridor spread throughout the Intermountain West.[20] In 1880, Latter-day Saints commemorated the Golden Jubilee of the church’s formal organization in 1830; tens of thousands of people in hundreds of communities participated in very enthusiastic festivities.[20]
In the years that followed, federal enforcement efforts of anti-polygamy laws (including the 1882 Edmunds Act) resulted in greatly subdued celebrations.[20] The 1886 commemoration was particularly notable for its mourning theme, with the Salt Lake Tabernacle decorated in black instead of the usually colorful bunting, and the eulogizing of Latter-day Saints who were in hiding or prison for polygamy offenses.[20] By 1897, the celebration included not only the 50th anniversary of the initial arrival in the Salt Lake Valley, but also the end of the polygamy issue, the completion of the Salt Lake Temple, and statehood for Utah.[20]
The centennial in 1947 and the sesquicentennial in 1997 were especially large celebrations in Utah. One writer indicated that the 1947 celebrations seemed to incorporate the entire year, with July 24 only being an apex to the events.[22]”
