Abstract:

Development of a new children's horticulture curriculum, the Junior Master Gardener program, from Texas A&M Univ. has lead to several youth projects in Minnesota. In Chisago County, Minn., Master Gardeners have instructed 4-H leaders who taught weekly sessions to elementary age children. Older teens have been leaders in this project as well. In Hennepin County, Minn., the program has been used by teachers and Master Gardeners in a formal classroom setting. Additional programs in Anoka, Rice, Winona, and Washington Counties, Minn., have used this curriculum. Leaders say the strengths of the program are the extensive and detailed list of projects, the impact on the local community when children do the service component, and children's learning of the scientific concepts that are the basis of the program. Cost of the materials and distribution are negative features. Further program examples will be highlighted and detailed at this workshop.

Abstract:

SARS-CoV-2 transmission is largely driven by heterogeneous dynamics at a local scale, leaving local health departments to design interventions with limited information. We analyzed SARS-CoV-2 genomes sampled between February 2020 and March 2022 jointly with epidemiological and cell phone mobility data to investigate fine scale spatiotemporal SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics in King County, Washington, a diverse, metropolitan US county. We applied an approximate structured coalescent approach to model transmission within and between North King County and South King County alongside the rate of outside introductions into the county. Our phylodynamic analyses reveal that following stay-at-home orders, the epidemic trajectories of North and South King County began to diverge. We find that South King County consistently had more reported and estimated cases, COVID-19 hospitalizations, and longer persistence of local viral transmission when compared to North King County, where viral importations from outside drove a larger proportion of new cases. Using mobility and demographic data, we also find that South King County experienced a more modest and less sustained reduction in mobility following stay-at-home orders than North King County, while also bearing more socioeconomic inequities that might contribute to a disproportionate burden of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Overall, our findings suggest a role for local-scale phylodynamics in understanding the heterogeneous transmission landscape.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: In April 2009, King County, Washington, experienced a sustained outbreak of 2009 H1N1 influenza A. This report describes the epidemiology of that outbreak in King County, home to a diverse population of 1.9 million people.Methods: The 2 primary sources of data are case investigations of reported laboratory-confirmed 2009 H1N1 influenza A and a population-based syndromic surveillance system that captures data from emergency departments (EDs). A syndromic category for influenza-like illness was defined based on chief complaint and diagnosis.Results: ED visits for influenza-like illness peaked quickly in the first week of the outbreak and remained high for approximately 6 weeks, with school-age children accounting for the greater number of ED visits, followed by young adults. Children ages 0 to 4 years had the highest rate of hospitalization. Among reported cases, blacks, Asians, and Hispanics were more likely to be hospitalized. Predisposing factors associated with admission were immune compromise, chronic lung disease, chronic heart disease, pregnancy, diabetes, and asthma. Of people receiving antiviral treatment, 34% started their medication more than 2 calendar days after the onset of illness. Mean days between illness onset and antiviral treatment were greater for blacks, Hispanics, and foreign language speakers.Conclusions: The spring 2009 influenza A H1N1 outbreak disproportionately affected children, young adults, and racial and ethnic minorities. Opportunities exist to improve the timeliness of antiviral treatment. Potential barriers to care for racial and ethnic minorities should be proactively addressed to ensure prompt evaluation and treatment.

Abstract:

Small-scale wind turbines simulations are not as accurate when it comes to costs as compared to the large-scale wind turbines, where costs are more or less standard. In this paper, an analysis was done on a decision for a wind turbine investment in Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington. It was revealed that a decision taken based only on a software tool could be destructive for the sustainability of a project, since not taking into account specific taxation, net metering, installation, maintenance costs, etc., beyond the optimization that the tool offers, can hide the truth.

Abstract:

Purpose: To investigate relations of perceived worksite neighborhood environments to total physical activity and active transportation, over and above home neighborhood built environments. Design: Observational epidemiologic study. Setting: Baltimore, Maryland-Washington, DC, and Seattle-King County, Washington metropolitan areas. Participants: One thousand eighty-five adults (mean age = 45.0 [10.2]; 46% women) recruited from 32 neighborhoods stratified by high/low neighborhood income and walkability. Measures: The Neighborhood Environment Walkability Survey assessed perceptions of worksite and home neighborhood environments. Accelerometers assessed total moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The International Physical Activity Questionnaire assessed total active transportation and active transportation to and around work. Analysis: Mixed-effects regression tested relations of home and worksite neighborhood environments to each physical activity outcome, adjusted for demographics. Results: Home and worksite mixed land use and street connectivity had the most consistent positive associations with physical activity outcomes. Worksite traffic and pedestrian safety were also associated with multiple physical activity outcomes. The worksite neighborhood explained additional variance in physical activity outcomes than explained by the home neighborhood. Worksite and home neighborhood environments interacted in explaining active transportation to work, with the greatest impacts occurring when both neighborhoods were activity supportive. Conclusion: Both worksite and home neighborhood environments were independently related to total MVPA and active transportation. Community design policies should target improving the physical activity supportiveness of worksite neighborhood environments and integrating commercial and residential development.

T County younger children’s home-living safety situation Hsu Chih-pen Abstract The purpose of this study is to conduct, with developing “Questionnaire for T County younger children’s home-living safety situation”, surveys and analyses from such aspects as younger children’s home-living safety knowledge, younger children’s home-living safety attitude, management behavior of younger children’s home-living environment, younger children’s home-living safety environment facilities and improving willingness for younger children’s home-living safety environment; through demographic characters of the subjects and the above analyses, we explore the distribution of dangerous factors of T County younger children’s home-living safety; and we compare the differences between urban and rural T County younger children’s home-living safety situations in households. We set the parents of kindergartens and nurseries in T County as the samples and adopt stratified cluster random sampling setting class as the unit of a cluster and we draw 3600 parents as the samples. After conducting statistic analysis towards the collected data we have the important conclusions as follows: I. As for management behavior of younger children’s home-living environment, it’ frequently fair, but the parents have very low points of younger children’s home-living safety knowledge with the correct answer rate as only 52.38%; as for younger children’s home-living safety attitude, it performs a low dangerous perception towards unsafe situation so that, among 19 unsafe situations, there are only 5 that are considered over 50% of the probability of younger children’s incidental injuries by the parents, especially for “while I’m busy and no other people who can help, I let the other children under 12 accompany or play with” or “using the time when the children are sleeping at home to go out for business”, most of the parents think their probabilities of danger are low and very low . II. As for younger children’s home-living environment facilities, among 10 fundamental important facilities, over 30% of the parents who don’ t have 5 of them, especially 49.7% of the families which don’ t achieve “post emergency telephone numbers of something like medical agencies at around telephone set or other apparent spots”. But what’s conforming is that there are 53.6% of the parents who are willing to improve this within one month to reach the preparatory period; but for the other items, the percentage of the parents who are willing to improve within one month is low. For those parents who are willing to improve this within one month, we may provide them with information of improving program to lower their improving obstruct; while for those who have no improving willingness in a half year, we should reinforce their safety perception. III. In T County, averagely each child will get injury 0.13 times every week. When the home-living injuries happened to children, 8.7% of them are staying alone; only 10.77% of parents took first aid-related classes of whom each one took only 0.16 hours of first aid classes during 2 years. Since there’s a salient correlation between parents’ children’s home-living safety attitude and first aid classes they took, we should open more classes related to prevention of children’s home-living safety incidents and first aid. IV. The score the male parents got on children’s home-living safety environment facility was 0.233 points more than the female parents; the older the age, the lower the “children’s home-living safety knowledge”; the lower the education degree, the lower the “children’s home-living safety knowledge”; the score the married subjects got on “children’s home-living safety environment facility” was 0.444 points more than the unmarried subjects; the score the subjects who live in cities got on “children’s home-living safety knowledge” was 0.119 points higher than the subjects who live in rural areas; the score the families with injured children got on “children’s home-living safety environment facility” was 0.5 points more than the families without injured children and 5.492 points less than the latter on “children’s home-living safety environment management behavior”; the score the parents who took first aid classes got on “children’s home-living safety attitude” was 7.151 points more than the parents who took first aid classes and 1.814 points more than the latter on “children’s home-living safety environment management behavior”. V. The salient factors influencing younger children’s home-living safety knowledge include “the parents age” “education degree” and “parent’s cities of villages and towns in the residence”；The salient factors influencing children’s home-living safety attitude include “child’s sex” “education degree” and “if took first aid classes”; The salient factors influencing children’s home-living safety environment facility include “parent’s sex”, “parent’s marital status”, “number of male children and female children in the family”, “place type where the subject lives” and “If any children got injured within one week” ; The salient factors influencing children’s home-living safety management behavior include “parent’s marital status”, “number of male children and female children in the family”, “place type where the subject lives”. Keywords: younger children, younger children’s home-living safety

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Underground septic systems thrive or fail based on the relationship with their local environment. This paper explores ways environmental variables such as soil type, tree roots, degree of slope, and impervious surfaces affect on-site wastewater treatment systems. It also discusses the effects each of these variables may have on a septic system, and the resulting impact a compromised system may have on the surrounding environment. This research focuses on an approximately 20 square mile area of central Washington Township in Marion County, Indiana. This area of central Indiana contains a large septic system owning population in a sampling of different environments such as wooded areas, hilly areas, and a variety of different soil types.

The Canoy Wildcats were a Simpson County, Mississippi, family string band led by Enos Washington Canoy (03/08/1909–05/08/1970), with his children,Durwood and Herbert, and his cousin Tim and his children “Mellie” Jean and Sadie. Other musicians that participated in the band from time to time were guitarists: James FerrelAmason, Billy Ray Reynolds, Curtis Mangum, and a Mr. Weathersby. The band was active in the 1940s and 1950s, playing as far away as Jackson for a Mason’s Lodge dance and a weekly radio show on WSJC. Sometime in the late 1940s, they were the first band to appear on Magee radio station WSKC, where they had a radio show every Saturday. They played for local square dances with a caller. Often dancers would jitterbug to old-time fiddle tunes. The band would travel a little for appearances but came home every night.

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter covers the rise of “Jim Crow North” in Boston during the late-19th and early-20th century, as well as the vigorous debates that took place in the city over black political leadership and the most effective response to the new system of white supremacy and racial discrimination setting in across the country. Initially, Booker T. Washington’s “accommodationist” approach found a welcome audience in Boston among many middle-class African American leaders and the descendants of white abolitionists. Washington, who owned a summer home in a Boston suburb and sent his children school in the city, founded the Negro Business League in Boston in 1900 to spur black entrepreneurship. During the first two decades of the 20th century, though, two other titans of black political leadership with deep roots in Boston – W.E.B. DuBois and William Monroe Trotter – rose to offer scathing critiques of Washingtonian accommodationism and put forth their own visions of racial uplift. Both men were leaders of the Niagara Movement and played a role in the foundation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Each rejected Washington’s industrial education model and advocated a more direct attack on racial discrimination and segregation in Boston and beyond.

Harris went to Washington to participate in freshman orientation anyway–he drew No. 76 out of 85 in the office lottery, for instance. But back home in North Carolina in those last days of November and early December 2018, things fell apart. His opponent, Democrat Dan McCready, sent staff around Bladen County to collect affidavits from voters willing to say McCrae Dowless’s workers collected their ballots illegally. Many said they received visits from the same woman, “a white lady.” Those affidavits were then sent to Charlotte TV station WSOC, whose reporter Joe Bruno published them on the air. Bruno then went to Bladen County and interviewed one woman, standing on the porch of her mobile home, who said she’d been paid by people to collect ballots. Meanwhile, another person who worked closely with Dowless posted on Facebook that she’d been paid by Red Dome, the group Harris hired to pay Dowless.

Lovie’s marriage takes her to the North Carolina town of Washington, where she takes a job with the Beaufort County Health Department and starts attending home births on the side. Lovie describes working under the granny law, given that North Carolina had no law at the time to regulate the practice of nurse-midwifery. At her job, she faces opposition from nursing colleagues prejudiced against midwifery who claim she is taking their profession “back to the dark ages.” Her prejudices against hospital births deepen after she has two babies at home and two in the hospital. This chapter also discusses Lovie’s departure from the health department in 1957 to embark on a solo home birth practice and chronicles the death of her husband, Marshall Shelton.

Abstract Guerrilla war in Washington County began in January 1863. Responding to unionist raids on local plantations, Jasper Spruill, the son of prosperous unionist farmer Ammon Spruill, applied to North Carolina Governor Zebulon Vance for a commission to raise a company of local secessionists. The young man proposed specifically “to kill Buffaloes [unionists].” Governor Vance reportedly replied: “Go ahead and kill the king of them and then I will talk to you about it.” Therefore, sometime in early January, Spruill and two other men, Warren Snell and L. Biggs, went to John Giles’s home, “waylaid” the unfortunate Giles “near his own gate,” and “shot him.”

Abstract:

Abstract Roy Wilkins proclaimed that the busing issue was never the real issue. The real issue, he argued, was desegregated quality education. In the following article, written in August 1972, he discusses what he believes to be the real issues behind the highly charged question of busing. Not much more can be said on the highly emotional topic of busing children to school for the purpose of aiding the desegregation of the public school system. Except that busing is not the real question, but only the excuse behind which forces, for a variety of reasons, move against the real issue: Desegregated quality education. This. said the Supreme Court in 1954, belongs to every child, irrespective of race, color, or place of residence. In this election year, many politicians in Washington are busy passing legislation to curb busing. They are getting their votes on record against busing so that the folks back home will vote for them next November.

Abstract When the Remingtons first saw the area in the summer of 1940, it was just acres of lush, green trees, out in Fairfax County, Virginia. A cooperative corporation was formed, consisting of a Board of Directors and a manager who would supervise the construction of the first twenty homes. Tauxemont was the name given to the development, and the Remingtons arranged to build their first home there-for sixty-five hundred dollars they could have a house located on a halfacre lot. Construction began early in 1941, and by December, Ann and Bill were able to move in. It seemed ideal; close enough to the city so that Bill could easily commute, yet located in the country where they could experience the pleasures of rural life. Their neighbors were friendly; most were civil servants like Bill and some were leftists-members of the Washington Book Shop, the American League for Peace and Democracy, and other Communist Party front groups. They entertained one another, formed a riding club for those who drove to Washington, and during the Christmas holidays, went caroling through the neighborhood.
