Fire Alarm Sounds at Sutter Amador Yesterday Morning
Yesterday morning the fire alarms sounded at
Sutter Amador Hospital. As emergency crews responded, hospital maintenance
crews discovered the alarmed had sounded from inside the Intensive Care Unit
conference room. Once it was further investigated, crews discovered that
the alarm was related to a light bulb issue. Apparently, gases from a faulty
light bulb had escaped into the air causing the highly sensitive alarm to
sound. The situation was well in hand and no patients were ever in any danger.

Does Standardized Testing Limit what Children are Taught?
With all the discussion over API’s and AYP’s,
STAR scores and teacher accountability a new study out finds that Americans, in
general, think the nations kids are sacrificing to make gains on standardized
tests. A poll released by Phi Delta Kappa and Gallup Poll, the 39th Annual Poll
of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Public Schools, says that among this
year's major findings are that 52 percent of Americans believe that the Federal No Child Left Behind
is limiting what children are taught. The sacrifice, according to
Americans polled, is at the expense of subjects such as art, science, health
and social studies. A significant majority of those surveyed also believe that
more must be done to prepare students to compete in a global economy.
National Education Association President Reg Weaver says "Narrowing the curriculum and teaching
to the test are only two of the unintended consequences of No Child Left
Behind, and educators were the first to sound the alarm on this
trend," Weaver continues saying "The law's single-minded focus on
test preparation is robbing students of the opportunity to think critically and
solve problems.” Weaver says “We
need to prepare them for the real world, for success in the new industries of
tomorrow like alternative energy, medical research and technology” says
Weaver.
