Dr. Manno's BCSD Brief, Edition #6, 2016-17 School Year
A message from our Board of Education
Dear BCSD Families:
Welcome back to school! It's hard to believe it's already that time of year again, and we hope you have enjoyed your summer break! As the school District's governing body and your representatives, we have been hard at work to ensure that all of our students have a rewarding and successful school year.
Last year was a tough year. Our budget challenges caused concerns and stress for all. We are optimistic that the new school year brings a new beginning. There has been much change in the District: changes in leadership positions, changes in various programs, and many other projects. However, we recognize that what remains the same is the talent, commitment, and caring of our teachers, staff, parents, and community members. We appreciate your steadfast dedication to our students and programs.
We wish you a positive and productive start to the school year.

A message from Dr. Manno
Dear Bedford Central School District Families and Community Members:
Tomorrow is the first day of school for our students (except West Patent Elementary School students who will begin on Tuesday, September 6th). For the past two days our teachers, staff and school leaders have been diligently preparing for the return of our students - your children.
Tonight we all share the anticipation and excitement that comes with the eve of the first day of school. Most of us are excited yet a bit anxious. We are enthusiastic yet we wonder what the year will hold. We're optimistic yet concerned about challenges we may face. Many of our administrators, teachers, staff, and our students are experiencing "butterflies" tonight. Truth be told, so am I.
We are confident that our students will have a meaningful and productive year of growth and learning.
In Service,
Chris Manno
Testing for Lead in our District Schools
In June, the State legislature passed a measure requiring the testing of drinking water in schools. Our School District Safety Committee made a decision to test all fixtures in all buildings. Regulations have not yet been promulgated by New York State regarding testing methods.
Over the summer, our District made a proactive decision in the interest of the safety and well-being of our students and staff to work with an environmental consulting company. Samples of water from all of our schools were tested for lead and copper. We sampled all the water fountains utilizing the current EPA's protocols for lead sampling in schools. The current action level for lead in drinking water is 0.015 mg/L.
As a result of those tests, three fountains at Bedford Village Elementary School and four fountains at West Patent Elementary School exceeded the action level. These are the test results:
Site 001- Lead result: 0.017 mg/L
Site 002- Lead result: 0.018 mg/L
Site 010- Lead result: 0.055 mg/L
Site 017- Lead result: 0.079 mg/L
Site 018- Lead result: 0.022 mg/L
Site 024- Lead result: 0.040 mg/L
Site 025- Lead result: 0.047 mg/L
We immediately shut down those sources and deployed water coolers for drinking and bottled water for the kitchens for food preparation. The water fountains that tested positive were taken out of service. Students are certainly allowed to bring their own water bottles if parents wish.
Bedford Central School District is waiting along with all other school districts for New York State to promulgate testing protocols. Until those regulations are available, the District will work closely with its water consultant and the Westchester Department of Health to assure that all sources of drinking water are safe. This includes expanding our testing to include all kitchen sources in the District.
We completely understand the concerns parents may have about these results. We suggest parents who are concerned should seek advice from their medical professionals.
Parents have asked what we will do about the sources that tested positive. At this point, we are working with our professionals to determine just that. We will keep families and the community informed at every juncture. It is our primary objective to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff members.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call your principal or Dr. Manno directly.
A note about our school calendar
Please also be sure to review the annual notifications included in the first several pages of the calendar.
The Educators' Pledge to Civil Political Discourse
Once again our nation is in the midst of a Presidential election cycle. The process and culminating event gives parents and educators together, in partnership, a tremendous opportunity to provide teachable moments for our students on the foundational ideals of our nation.
Throughout this process, it is the duty of BCSD educational community to model for our students the ideals of acceptance of diversity and respect for civil discourse. It is incumbent upon educators to establish an emotionally safe environment for students to explore new ideas. It is our role to teach varied ideologies and political perspectives; engage students in critical thinking; and facilitate students' discovery of their own ideas and thoughts, all while modeling respectful dialogue and authentic inquiry.
At times, due to the nature of public discourse, educators may be reluctant to engage in discussion of controversial topics in an effort to avoid the perception of bias or judgment. Teachers are keenly aware of their position of influence and understand that the classroom is not a forum to bend impressionable students to their particular political vantage point. As partners in our students' education, we aspire to promote healthy, authentic dialogue in our classrooms and corridors.
We believe the upcoming election provides a unique opportunity to partner with families. To that end, we pledge our commitment to five guiding principles, honoring teachers' academic freedom as well as students' home values and individual identities:
We aim to create a safe, inclusive learning environment where students are able to participate freely in academic dialogue as speakers and listeners. The abuse of power in the classroom, or any attempt to use the classroom as a vehicle to manipulate minors on issues of political opinion, is unacceptable and antithetical to our charge.
Schools and classrooms are an environment where students feel physically and emotionally safe. We aspire to create a climate where students consistently feel a sense of belonging and membership.
We respect the inquisitiveness of learners as well as the family and community belief systems which they bring to school. Serving in the position of "In Loco Parentis" (in the place or role of the parent), educators are obligated to guard against the subversion of parental values while exposing students respectfully to varying points of view.
The US Constitution is the law of the land and a cornerstone in our curriculum. We aim to present relevant features of the US Constitution in timely and meaningful contexts. In the spirit of the Constitution, we underscore that all students, regardless of their opinion or conviction, warrant respect.
We are open and available to help students with any confusion they may experience in the process of political debate, whether that be with educators or their peers. Students should feel free to seek out the support of a guidance counselor, teacher, or administrator if they feel the need to discuss any issue.
As we open the school year, we look forward to engaging all students in a dialogue that is rich, meaningful, and respectful. Also, please visit our school website where an article has been posted entitled "Teaching Controversial Topics" in the BCSD 411 link on the top of the www.bcsdny.org home page.
Administrative Regulation: Athletic Competition
Dr. Manno has promulgated the following administrative regulation, which is consistent with our current Athletic Department philosophy, athlete/parent handbook, and practices and procedures. It is important for a statement of philosophy and direction to exist from the District level regarding the Athletic Program. This matter is also under review by the Board of Education Policy Subcommittee. This regulation takes effect immediately.
The Board of Education recognizes the value of an athletic competition program for both boys and girls as an integral part of the total school experience. Game activities and practice sessions provide opportunities to learn the values of competition and good sportsmanship.
The interscholastic program shall be conducted in accordance with existing Board of Education rules and regulations, considered as an educational activity, and shall support the integrity of the academic program for students. The athletic program shall always be in conformity with the general objectives of the District. We believe that the opportunity for participation in a wide range of student activities is a vital part of the student's educational experiences. Such participation is a privilege, not a right, which is extended to students who choose to fulfill the responsibilities that are required of members of interscholastic teams in the District. Every effort will be made to support the programs and teams with the best facilities, equipment, and the most qualified staff available.
Philosophy of the Athletics Programs
Any co- or extra-curricular program is an extension of the classroom. The same expectations for creating a safe and respectful classroom climate and culture apply to athletic and co- and extra-curricular venues. There is value in producing successful athletic teams, as this may result in an increase in school spirit, pride, and tradition. While a successful team is of value, it shall never take priority over ensuring the well-being and development of students.
Competitive extracurricular activities shall focus on all of the following:
The development of athletic skills and abilities relevant to the particular activity;
The development of good sportsmanship;
The development of positive character traits, such as discipline, determination, dedication, confidence, concentration, consistency, respect, teamwork, service, and other positive character attributes;
The development of habits of life fitness;
Success in competition.
For purposes of this policy, the program of athletic competition includes all activities relating to competitive sports contests, games, or events or sports exhibitions involving individual pupils or teams of pupils of this District when such events occur within or between separate schools within this District or with any schools outside this District.
Instilling habits of good sportsmanship is a primary goal of athletic programs; and, all district employees shall model sportsmanlike behaviors at all times.
Sportsmanship is defined as abiding by the rules of the contest as defined or accepted by the participating teams and the gracious acceptance of victory or defeat. In exhibiting sportsmanship all participants shall:
Understand and follow the rules of the contest;
Recognize skilled performance of others regardless of affiliation;
Display respect for all individuals participating in the athletic event;
Treat opponents in an empathetic manner; and
Congratulate opponents in victory or defeat, when practicable and safe for athletes.
The Athletic Director and coaches shall encourage and require young athletes to handle themselves in a sportsmanlike way. Adults working with students shall be models of self-control and dignity for players and spectators.
Uncontrollable yelling and screaming or taunting of officials/referees shall be prohibited and not tolerated.
Coaches are expected to coach and direct athletes in a positive and sportsmanlike manner.
Unsportsmanlike behavior as exhibited through verbal abuse, rude gestures, taunts, obscenities, thrown objects, etc., shall not be tolerated in pupils, staff or any persons in attendance at district athletic events or competitions. Discipline may include, but not be limited to, eviction from the competition, prevention from attending further competitions, and/or appropriate discipline for students.
Coaches shall engage in discussions on courtesy and sportsmanlike behavior at the beginning of and throughout each season.
Poor sportsmanship shall include, but not be limited to the following conduct:
Any person who strikes or physically abuses an official, coach, player or spectator;
Any person who intentionally incites participants or spectators to abusive action;
Any person who uses obscene gestures or unduly provocative language or action towards officials, coaches, opponents or spectators;
Any school or athletic staff member who is publicly critical of a game official or opposing coaches and/or players;
Any person who engages in conduct which exhibits bias based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, affectional or sexual orientation or sex, social or economic status, or disability; and
Other conduct judged by the Athletic Director or Building Principal to be unsportsmanlike in character.
Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying
Acts of harassment, intimidation or bullying are strictly prohibited per Policies 0115 - Bullying and Cyberbullying, 0120 - Student harassment and Bullying Prevention and Intervention, and 0120R - Student Harassment and Bullying prevention and Intervention Regulation. These Policies and Regulation apply at all times during athletic activities, practices, and events.
The hazing or initiation of students and/or athletes is strictly prohibited. Hazing is defined as follows:
To subject newcomers to abusive or humiliating ridicule, mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, or harassment.
An activity in which a high-status member coerces other members to do something that in some way humbles a newcomer who lacks the power to resist.
Young students are the future of the school's programs, and should be mentored and developed with respect and caring. It is directed that each team/organization establish an atmosphere that develops, nurtures, and respects all students.
Coaches and advisors shall at the beginning of each season review the definition and prohibition on hazing with students. All athletes/participants shall be informed that if he/she experiences hazing, the athlete shall immediately report the matter to the Coach and Athletic Director. If at any time a staff member, student, parent, or guardian feels a hazing concern has not been addressed satisfactorily, the matter shall be reported to the building principal. Concerns about hazing that a student, parent or guardian feels have not been addressed sufficiently by the principal should be reported to the Superintendent of Schools. Confirmation of such shall be documented in writing by each student and parent. The Athletic Director is responsible for creating the appropriate forms documenting this with a sign-off for students and parents. Forms shall be maintained by the Athletic Director.
Supervision of athletes/activity participants
Athletes shall be properly supervised, to the extent possible, the at all times, including in locker rooms.

Process and criteria for try-outs and decision regarding cuts MUST be clearly documented by coaches and approved by the Athletic Director.
The Athletic Director is responsible for hearing parent complaints/appeals. The Athletic Director's determination is final. The Principal nor the Superintendent shall consider appeals regarding athletic cuts, provided District policy has been followed.
Behavior of Coaches and Advisors
Coaches and advisors shall be positive role models for young people, and; therefore, shall display respect, poise, and self- control at all times.

Policy 3310, Formulation and Adoption of Administrative Regulations, gives the Superintendent authority to promulgate regulations consistent with Board Policy. These regulations are grounded in the following Board Policies:
Emergency Closing/Delayed Opening Procedures
Families and staff members will get notified via phone, email, and text using our School Messenger system. Please make sure your school has up-to-date contact information for you on file.
The District also posts delay, early dismissal, or closing information on the District Website, BCTV, and uses WHUD, News 12, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, FOX 5, and ABC-TV to broadcast school closings, late arrivals, and early dismissals.
On days when inclement weather is predicted, the decision to close school could be made the evening prior. If not, the decision-making process begins at 3:30 a.m. and includes research on weather conditions, assessment of site conditions for our schools, consultation with the highway departments of our towns, and a conference call with regional superintendents of schools. A decision will be made by approximately 5 a.m. and the communication process will be initiated.
Some important information:
- A "Delay" means a 2-hour delay for students and staff. Students report to their bus stops or arrive at school 2 hours after normal time.
- For Early Dismissals, the earliest dismissal bus runs for the high school/middle school begin at 10:20 a.m. Elementary students are dismissed at 11:30 a.m.
If schools are closed, facilities are not available for use for after-school or evening activities by internal or external organizations; therefore, all after-school activities are cancelled.
For Early Dismissals, staff members are dismissed 30 minutes after the students.
If schools are closed or there is an early dismissal on a Friday, please check the District website for the status of weekend activities.

Humanitas was founded to transform the quality of life and empower disadvantaged children in developing countries.
For more than a decade we have taken decisive action to protect and care for some of the world's most vulnerable children and teenagers.
We believe every child is entitled to
health care, an education and a family.
We strive to provide children across the
globe with these three key rights.
Our primary mission is to prevent the abandonment and institutionalisation of children. We achieve this through our medical and educational support projects and by providing homes for children through foster care and family style residential homes.
We are currently working in Africa and Eastern Europe. We believe that supporting children who are severely disadvantaged is one of the greatest investments that can be made - something we continue to do on a daily basis.

Although Meager, Developing Nations Dependent on Sweatshop Wages
Children in Lahore, Pakistan. gary yim / Shutterstock.com
They've become political hot potatoes, often making tragic headlines. They are a symbol of what campaigners say is wrong with capitalism and the multibillion dollar clothing industry. Mass-production textile factories in developing nations are usually painted as places where workers are exploited only for developed nations' multinationals to make great financial gains. In 2014, the United States imported clothes that sold for about $80 billion, and that number is predicted to rise.
Many campaign groups in the U.S. demand that sweatshops be shut down altogether, but the solution is not as simple as that. There are 60 million skilled and unskilled workers in the textile industry around the world; the great majority of which are women, and some are children, many working in sub-par conditions.
But can closing down sweatshops be the salvation they need from perpetual poverty and maltreatment?
Not so, says Dr. Benjamin Powell, a professor of economics and business at Texas Tech University who, controversially, argues that sweatshops are economically and socially beneficial to the countries they're in.
"If you care about the consequences for the lives of developing nations workers I believe it is ethical to buy products made with sweatshop labor," he says. Powell argues that sweatshops are not exclusive to poor countries in our modern, globalised world.
"My ancestors worked in the mills in Massachusetts. For the United Kingdom and the U.S., the process of development took more than 100 years to move through the sweatshop phase" in which women and children worked in cotton mills, factories and manufacturing, he says.
Powell makes the point that "far from perpetuating poverty sweatshops are better thought of [as] the first rung up the ladder of economic development." In some counties, garment factories are one of few jobs seen as acceptable for women, and through it they can gain economic freedom.
Powell doesn't suggest that sweatshops should be permanent fixtures, but a stage in the development of developing nations and they "often pay far above the levels of extreme poverty that exist in these countries and often even better than the countries' average incomes. In 1960, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea all had sweatshops," he says, but "in a generation they jumped from a pre-industrial standard of living to first world status."
Many countries around the world have been built on intensive labor industries and sweatshops are a major factor in getting people out of low paying agricultural work and into big metropolises where they can move up into better paying rolls, and so have better lives. But for the millions of people living in these sweatshop economies where conditions are extremely harsh, the idea that things will be better for future generations isn't going to help their lives now.
In developed nations, citizens have available to them unions to protect worker rights, laws that defend those that have been treated unfairly and a government that supports the underserved. And though sweatshop workers in developing nations very rarely have or are allowed most of these, for many, it's still the first choice when it comes to getting a job.
38-year-old Nasreen Ahmad has been working in intensive garment factories in Pakistan for over a decade. After she married at 19, her husband was abusive and wasted their family's living expenses on alcohol. When he died 10 years ago, Ahmad had little hope of getting help from the government, and didn't want to live on family handouts to support herself and her four young children.
"My life before working in the factories was really tough. It was so hard that I had no happiness at all. When my husband died, my in-laws put a lot of pressure on me to leave their house with my children. So I had to work, it was essential for my family that I work."
Ahmad gets paid approximately 3,000 rupees (about $30) every 15 days. That's when there's plenty of overtime and there's detailed hand work involved.
"I am thankful to god for my job. It's barely enough, but still enough to rent a room and live with my children," she says. Ahmad says that her wages provide enough to send one of her two daughters to school, and that her sons are now grown up. While working in a factory is not what she wants for her children, she says that her family would have nothing without it.
"Working in the factory is a lifeline for women like me," she says, adding that she hopes that her children will have a higher standard of living because of the opportunities she is able to provide them now.
But Ahmad's job affords her only the basics. She's been doing the same job for over a decade without progressing. Ahmad doesn't receive rewards proportional to what the factory owner and ultimately the brand that her garments end up as make.
Aside from the fact that the clothes Ahmad makes costs hundreds of times more than what she gets paid for them when they end up in department stores, there are other basic issues with working intensive garment factories that even the most devout supporter of sweatshops can't ignore.
"About 4 million people in Pakistan work in the textile industry and 95 percent of them never get the paperwork to prove it" says Nasir Mansoor, Deputy Director of Pakistan's Nation Trade Union Federation. "This means there's no way for them to fight for their rights if something isn't right."
The garment sector, he says, has some of the worst conditions for workers in the country.
"All garment factories, by law, have to register with the Pakistani government, but we estimate that 90 percent fail to do so and the government doesn't enforce the law. It wasn't too long ago that even inspecting the factories that were registered became outlawed in some provinces so there was no way to know what was happening in them either."
It was only after the Karachi garment factory fire of 2012 that killed nearly 300 people and injured a similar number that the inspection ban was lifted.
45-year-old Sajida Khanum has only ever worked in sweatshops. She doesn't want to disclose which factory she's working in now for fear of losing her job and being blacklisted from working in factories again.
She says that there is no security in her job, and that sometimes, when there is not enough work to do, she has to beg her contractor for work. Khanum gets paid about 40 cents per item she makes.
"We have to work fast because we get paid per dozen garments."
She's been working in garment factories for 15 years. She says most workers live the contradictions of working in sweatshops. "We all do it because its necessary, what else are we to do? I'm uneducated, all I know is this job."
It might be a hard pill to swallow, but what Pakistani garment industry workers Ahmad and Khanum say reflects what Powell has found in his research.
"When workers choose to take employment in a sweatshop, it demonstrates that they believe it is the least bad option available to them. That means that, relative to their previous situation, these sweatshops improve their lives."
Closing sweatshops isn't the answer, because millions of people around the world will be left without an income or a safety net to fall on, and the burden on the country would be unbearable. But, maintaining the industry in the manner it is now supported is arguably keeping some in perpetual poverty.
Europe and the U.S. do have a systems of checks and balances in place to try to make conditions in intensive garment factories better. The European Union has the Generalised Scheme of Preference, or the GSP+ status, it awards countries that try to ensure workers get a livable wage and maintain good conditions in factories as part of 27 commitments that factory owners would make to workers.
Pakistan was awarded this in 2014, making it a prefered trading country for the West, but little has actually been done to benefit the workers.
It's the brands that make the huge profits and those that buy from them that can make any real change, says Nasir Mansoor. "It's a hallmark of foreign brands. They pretend to observe the social and human rights of the countries they are from but these companies, they betray the commitment they have in their countries by not applying them when they buy from sweatshops here." Nasir holds these foreign clothing brands responsible for conditions not changing for the better.
So what's the solution? Most pro and anti-sweatshop advocates agree that it's a multi-faceted one. Regulation is often cited as a real stumbling block for garment factory workers. By giving countries the GSP+ status, the importing countries are making efforts to encourage this practice but that needs to feed down to the factory floor. Accountability of the big brands is a major focus point for advocates and governments alike to try and make sure that such a disasters like the Rana Plaza or Karachi fire occur, then lessons can be learned and organisations held responsible. No one disagrees with the idea that big Brands should abide by the ethics and standards that they set themselves.
What it boils down to is this: giving the garment worker a 100 percent pay rise from 50 cents to $1 a garment costs the brands and factories little, but can transform the sweatshop workers' lives. But the will and pressure has to be there to make this happen.

How You Can Help Your Hydrangeas to Thrive
There are numerous advantages to growing hydrangeas. Not only are they a beautiful plant, but they're quite easy to care for. They're resistant to most diseases and pests, and they're also fairly hardy. New gardeners and green thumbs alike can enjoy their time with hydrangeas.
Another advantage is that many types of hydrangeas, all with their own unique needs. Some crave the sun, while others prefer the shade. Some can thrive even in cooler climates, and some can climb with the proper support. No matter what you desire, you can find a hydrangea that's perfect for your garden.
Growing Hydrangeas Requires Good Soil
When growing hydrangeas, you'll want to start with a good soil. Although hydrangeas can be grown in a range of different soils, the ideal soil for this plant is a rich and moist soil with good drainage. You should add compost to the soil before planting.
When Should You Plant Hydrangeas?
The ideal time to plant hydrangeas is in the spring. Wait until after the threat of frost is over. Once the hydrangeas have been planted, water them thoroughly, and add a layer of mulch.
In most cases, your plants should received a deep watering once a week. If you live in a dry climate, you may want to water them more frequently. The plant may also need more watering if it's been grown in intense sunlight. If your plants begin to look wilted, water them immediately.
An annual application of fertilizer can help you to keep your plants in great shape. The best time to do this is in the spring, just as the flower starts to bloom again. If needed, it can be given fertilizer a second time in midsummer. Only do this if the flowers look pale or if growth has been particularly slow.
Most types of hydrangeas require pruning, but the needs vary wildly based on the variety of plant. For example, bigleaf hydrangea should be pruned the minute blooming stops, but oakleaf hydrangea doesn't require pruning at all. Before pruning, it's best to research your plant and see what experts recommend.
If you desire, you can transplant your flowers. However, you should do this during the fall or winter months, when the flower is dormant. Dig up all of its rootball, and replant it as quickly as you can.
Caring for Potted Hydrangeas
The plant can be transported to a new garden location, or into a pot. It's possible for hydrangeas to thrive in pots if they're cared for properly. They'll need to be placed in containers will a drainage hole, and be kept in a lightweight, well-draining soil. Proper drainage is important if you want to keep your potted plants healthy.
If you'd like to propagate your flowers, it's fairly easy to grow new hydrangeas from cuttings. Take a cutting from a long branch, and place it in a pot. Water it well, and then cover the pot and plant with plastic. Before long, you'll see it start to grow.
Any garden can benefit from the addition of hydrangeas. Their colorful flower and large leaves make them a standout in any garden. More importantly, the degree of versatility they offer makes hydrangeas them a perfect choice for any gardener.

Vineyard and Olive Grove History – Sue and Neil Clubb bought the property located on the historic Pipeclay Gold Fields of Mudgee in 1996. The land was originally a run-down cropping and cattle farm that had every piece of machinery that had ever been bought scattered around the site. They then set about cleaning up the place and hand planting 4,000 olive trees and trellises of grape vines with the help from family and friends. The on-site Olive press was imported from Italy where we learnt the art of making and tasting oil which enabled Neil and Sue to be judges at Olive Oil shows in both Australia and Italy.
In December 2016, Haydn and Erika Harrison purchased this property and formed an extended family partnership, which extends to Haydn's sister Clare and partner Wayne, to jointly run this successful business continues to produce the highest quality of oils with the expertise knowledge handed over to them. Haydn has rich experience in intensive organic garlic farming.
Visitors to our tasting rooms not only see the press, but are shown how to taste olive oils and have the mystery of olive oil explained.
We operate the smallest commercial vineyard in Mudgee, but we focus on quality over quantity. The vineyard has the unique ability to continue producing very generous quantities of grapes that is unique to the location of the property. We have four varieties of red wines grapes (Durif, Merlot, Shiraz and Pinot Gris) which produce distinctive and different styles of wine. The wine is made in the locality of the vineyard by the very esteemed Jacob Stein, from the Robert Stein Winery, just across the lane. The family has been making high quality boutique wines for generations and Jacob was awarded the Gourmet Traveller Young Winemaker of the year in recent years.
The Olive Nest and 1838 Wines tasting rooms and cellar door is located on Pipeclay Lane, about 8kms north of town along the Cassilis Rd. can also visit the Motorcycle Museum and enjoy a meal at Pipeclay Pumphouse Restaurant while taking in the scenic valley views. The tasting rooms give the visitor to Mudgee a unique experience of seeing how Olive Oil is produced plus learning how to taste Extra Virgin Olive Oils. This can then be finished off with tasting of our lovely regional red wines.
If you are not able to visit our tasting rooms you can learn about and buy our products through our online shop.

Gaddy in his homily last weekend. (First 5) 1. Live and let live: All of us will live longer and more happily if we stop trying to arrange other peoples' lives. Jesus challenged us not to judge but to live with the tension and let God and history make the judgments. So live! We need to live by our own convictions and let others do the same. 2. Be giving of yourself to others: Happiness lies in giving ourselves away. We need to be open and generous because if we withdraw into ourselves we run the risk of becoming self-centered and no happiness will be found there since "stagnant water becomes putrid." 3. Proceed calmly: Move with kindness, humility, and calm. These are the antithesis of anxiety and distress. Calm never causes high blood pressure. We need to make conscious efforts to never let the moment cause panic and excessive hurry. Rather be late than stressed. 4. A healthy sense of leisure: Never lose the pleasures of art, literature, and playing with children. Remember that Jesus scandalized others with his capacity to enjoy life in all its sensuousness. We don't live by work alone, no matter how important and meaningful it might be. In heaven there will be no work, only leisure, we need to learn the art and joy of leisure not just to prepare for heaven but to enjoy some of heaven already now. 5. Sundays should be holidays. Workers should have Sundays off because Sunday is for family: Accomplishment, productivity, and speed may not become our most valued commodities or we will begin to take everything for granted, our lives, our health, our families, our friends, those around us, and all the good things in life. That is why God gave us a commandment to keep the Sabbath holy. This is not a lifestyle suggestion, but a commandment as binding as not killing. Moreover, if we are employers, the commandment demands too that we give our employees proper Sabbath-time.

My wife Sheryl and I cannot fully express how excited we are to join this parish community. Our marriage has been blessed with three children: India, Jacob and Zachary. Both Sheryl and I were raised in large Catholic families whose members still regularly attend Sacred Heart of Jesus of Lake Charles. We truly appreciate the warmth with which you have welcomed us thus far. I was born here in Lake Charles, and I am the youngest of thirteen children. My older siblings, in particular, my older sisters, played vital roles in raising me. I attended Sacred Heart of Jesus elementary school, and I graduated from Lake Charles High in 1973 (Go Wildcats!). I grew up loving to read, and I left Lake Charles at eighteen years of age in hopes of seeing some of the places I had only visited in my imagination while reading. Eventually, I graduated from San Diego State University and joined the United States Marine Corps. A few of the places in which I have lived are Okinawa, Japan; Taegu, Korea; Poway, California; Hanover, New Hampshire; and Fredericksburg, Va. My wandering days ended when I returned home for my mother's birthday and met Sheryl. Ours is the classic love story of boy meets girl; boy chases girl; girl catches boy! I always tell people that after traveling half way around the world, I came back home and married the girl from down the street. Until recently retiring, I was employed by Citgo as a metal inspector, working both at the main refinery for fifteen years and at Cit-Con for five years. I ask for your prayers and patience with me as I am challenged by two personal demons. First, I have a difficult time recalling names. So please help me and repeat your name every time we meet whether it is on the church grounds or elsewhere. Second, I am a Dallas Cowboys' fanatic and have infected my children. This condition may be incurable as my wife Sheryl, a Saint's fan, has not been able to save me all these years. We are living proof that a mixed marriage can work. Sheryl and I recently completed five years of rigorous diaconal studies. Now, the real work begins as we are called to put our love into action. As I answer God's call to be your humble servant, I ask that you continue to pray for me and my family. Yours in the Spirit, Deacon Harold J.

Ruben Buller The Book of Revelation is one of the most enigmatic books of the Sacred Scripture. Yet, it is one of the most commented upon books as well. Most of the questions that are asked today have been asked in previous generations. Come to the OLQH Adult Faith Formation to hear the tradition of the Church concerning the Book of Revelation. Some of the questions that will be looked at are "Who are the four living creatures?," "What does the Book of Revelation say about the End of Days?," "What does the Book of Revelation mean when it talks about the 1,000 year reign?," "Does the number '666' reveal the identity of the Anti-Christ?," and so many other questions. In the end, we will see that the Book of Revelation is not about fear, but about hope. Come and experience the reason for the hope that the Church had in placing the Book of Revelation in Sacred Scripture. Join us for this 4-part series in the FLCC Activity Room on Mondays – September 8, 15, 22, and 29 from 6:00 – 7:45pm. We will begin with a light meal each night. Bring Your Bible!

The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of the land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry Giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy and overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea. Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where stormless eternity awaits us. Amen RCIA RCIA continues on Wednesdays, at 6:30 PM in the FLCC. If you know of someone interested in learning more about the Catholic faith, please invite them CAN YOU HELP? OLQH Parishioner in need of hospital bed for handicapped son who must undergo surgery. Please call parish office if you can help, 4771236. God of might, giver of every good gift, put into our hearts the love of your name, so that, by deepening our sense of reverence, you may nurture in us what is good and, by your watchful care, keep safe what you have nurtured. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

`Cruel´ burglar drowns puppy in bath
A seven-month-old puppy was drowned in a bath by a "cruel" intruder during a break-in, police have said.
Benji the Cockapoo was found dead at the ransacked address in Gorleston, near Great Yarmouth, by owner Susan Walker on Wednesday.
The mother-of-two said the sight of her lifeless pet will "haunt" her forever and has left her unable to break it to her children.
A computer and other items were stolen from the home in Cobholm Close between 3.50pm and 5.30pm, Norfolk Police said.
Ms Walker returned to find her house had been burgled and her dog missing, prompting her to call her brother, Gareth Deacon-Walker, and partner, Mark Phillips, for help. They found the bathroom door jammed shut, forcing her brother to kick it down and make the grim find, according to reports.
"Everything we lost is immaterial. The fact we lost the puppy is the most devastating thing," Ms Walker, 33, told the Eastern Daily Press.
"I came straight down and told Mark to not go upstairs. That sight will haunt for the rest of my life."
Benji the Cockapoo (Mark Phillips/PA)
She added: "Benji was really playful and part of the family. I have not told the children what has happened. We have told them he has gone missing and police are helping us find him."
Mr Phillips, 40, was said to have been reduced to tears by the sight of Benji's body in the bath.
Detective Sergeant Richard Wallis said: "This is a particularly cruel crime and I would urge anyone who may have seen any suspicious behaviour in the area at around the time of the burglary to come forward."
