St. Rita School for The Deaf

Happenings at St. Rita School for the Deaf

Students and staff have been working very hard on Clowns’ Play a participation play based on “Jack and The Beanstalk” for children of all ages and anyone who is young at heart. In this production the audience will be learning some sign language. The drama is this weekend May 1st and 2nd at 8:00 p.m. The cost is $5 an adult, $3 for children and seniors.

May 4th is the annual Golf Outing. If you would like to pledge a golfer, you still have time! Contact the development office if you would like to make a pledge.

May 17th is Sally’s Caring Hands and Walk. Sally Monahan was a St. Rita’s school counselor for over 12 years. She battled a rare cancer. When she was first diagnosed she said she was ready to accept whatever God had in mind. Her spirit throughout the illness was amazing. On May 19, 2006 Sally was accepted into God’s kingdom. To honor Sally and the loving service she gave to St. Rita School for the Deaf, her family and friends created the “Sally’s Caring Hands Scholarship Fund”. The money raised from the walk goes into the scholarship fund which is used to provide scholarships to students attending St. Rita School for the Deaf. It is a great family event with a walk, food, and family activities. You can register online or at the school. You can find more information at http://www.srsdeaf.org/events/sally/sally.html

Don't Eat Pistachios!

Salmonella Risk - FDA Bans Pistachio

FDA recommends that consumers avoid eating pistachio products until further information is available about the scope of affected products.

The FDA and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) are investigating Salmonella contamination in pistachio products sold by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc, Calif. The company has stopped all distribution of processed pistachios and will issue a voluntary recall involving approximately 1 million pounds of its products. Because the pistachios were used as ingredients in a variety of foods, it is likely this recall will impact many products. In addition, the investigation at the company is ongoing and may lead to additional pistachio product recalls.

The contamination involves multiple strains of Salmonella. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Thus far, several illnesses have been reported by consumers that may be associated with the pistachios. It is not yet known whether any of the Salmonella strains found in the pistachio products are linked to an outbreak. The FDA is conducting genetic testing of the samples to pursue all links.

FDA is working closely with the pistachio industry and recommends that consumers avoid eating pistachio products until further information is available about the scope of affected products.

FDA first learned of the problem on March 24, when it was informed by Kraft Foods that its Back To Nature Trail Mix was found to be contaminated with Salmonella. Kraft had identified the source of the contamination to be pistachios from Setton and conducted a recall.
