Low-acid foods MUST be processed in a pressure canner to be free of botulism risks! All fresh vegetables except for most tomatoes are low-acid foods.

Pressure does not destroy microorganisms, but high temperatures applied for an adequate period of time do kill microorganisms.

CPR is like a superhero, it gives a second chance at life.
Youth who have previously taken one of our babysitting classes gained new knowledge and skills to become certified in the American Heart Association CPR, AED, and First-Aid.
They listened, participated, asked many good questions to further understand, and demonstrated their skills to be a lifesaver.
Thank you to Last Minute Training, Steve and Samantha for facilitating this valuable class.
