Elkhart Schools teams up with program to package unused food into take-home meals
“Mostly, we rescue food that’s been made but never served by catering companies, large food service businesses, like the school system,” said Jim Conklin, Cultivate. “You don’t always think of a school.”
It rescues the unused food.
…20 students will receive a backpack with eight individual frozen meals every Friday until the end of school.

Kauai’s Waimea High School gets a taste of new farm-to-table menu
“It’s so important, I believe, for the people in the state of Hawaii to have food that’s locally grown, nutritious, delicious, and just easily accessible,” says First Lady of Hawaii Dawn Ige. “As an educator, I know how important a healthy meal is. If students have a healthy meal in their stomach, it just makes them feel better, so learning becomes a more natural and more exciting thing for them to do.”
Farm-to-school is one thing, but farm-to-state is an even bigger goal. Aside from the 100,000 meals that the Department of Education puts out a day, the prisons serve both the corrections officers and inmates. Senator Kouchi estimates that that’s another 13,000 meals, and points out that there’s also the state hospitals to take into consideration.
“If we hit this goal, we can more than double our food production here in Hawaii,” says Senator Kouchi.

California Dems question whether it’s time for Harris to drop out – POLITICO
“Is she a longshot now? Yeah,’’ says Doak. “I don’t think staying through Iowa will hurt her. And frankly, she will be forced to get out if she doesn’t do well in Iowa and New Hampshire.”
But as far as her future in the Senate, he said, “that stuff is forgotten pretty quickly.”

Archaeologists Discover Ancient Native American Sites In Path Of Planned Highway
Greubel thinks this particular pit house was probably a center for ceremonies or gatherings for the Ancestral Puebloan people who lived here roughly 1,200 years ago. That was before they are believed to have migrated west to the Mesa Verde area and then south to become the ancestors of the Hopi, Zuni and various Pueblo tribes.
“When we were working down here, you kind of have a sense of peace and you feel like you’re accomplishing something good,” Greubel says. “I know not all people think that way, but we treated the site with respect and a sense of awe.”
…This pit house is about to be filled in and covered up by a highway, as are six other important ancient sites on this mesa.
…The new construction site will cross the outer boundaries of the tribe’s reservation.
But some Southern Ute citizens are still upset that the digs are happening at all, and they don’t feel empowered to stop them.
…”You know, those are my family’s bones in there,” Maez says. “We don’t have a ceremony to dig them up and put them somewhere else.”
He says projects like this have forced tribes to adapt to that process and create new rituals to remove and rebury remains.
…Local tribes didn’t have ultimate veto power to stop this highway project from moving forward.
…”It’s quite interesting to see how we lived, you know, and to compare in how we live today. But on the other hand, it’s very hurtful and sad too.”

Katie Hill’s downfall highlights stark generational divide among Democrats
Hill’s situation is complicated.
The California Democrat vehemently denied an improper relationship with a congressional aide, allegations that prompted a House Ethics Committee investigation. But Hill acknowledged an “inappropriate” relationship with a separate campaign staffer. [And -potentially at the hands of an allegedly abusive husband-] she faced a barrage of nude photos published on conservative websites and the threat of hundreds more to come.
Some senior Democrats, who came of age long before the proliferation of cellphone cameras, have privately suggested that Hill should have been more careful.
…“Our darling Katie. It’s so sad,” Pelosi said, according to two Democratic sources with knowledge of the meeting. “It goes to show you, we should say to young candidates, …be careful when transmitting photos.”
…[Hill] initially vowed to remain in Congress and cooperate with the Ethics Committee investigation.
The details of the scandal — leaked text messages about being in a “throuple” and intimate photos where Hill also appeared to hold a bong — [controversial on their own, let alone] in a body where the average age of lawmakers is 57.6 years and the caucus’ top three leaders are all near 80 years old.
…While Hill’s circumstances may be extreme, it is the kind of situation that could become more commonplace as more lawmakers arrive in Washington with an extensive digital footprint, lawmakers and aides say.
