The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is urging residents of coastal states to plan ahead this hurricane season to minimize the potential for foodborne illness in the event of power outages, flooding, and other problems that could be associated with weather emergencies. Steps to follow to prepare for a possible weather emergency: Keep an appliance thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer to help determine if food is safe during power outages. The refrigerator temperature should be 40° F or lower and the freezer should be 0° F or lower. Store food on shelves that will be safely out of the way of contaminated water in case of flooding. Group food together in the freezer — this helps the food stay cold longer. Freeze refrigerated items such as leftovers, milk and fresh meat and poultry that you may not need immediately. This helps keep them at a safe temperature longer. Have coolers on hand to keep refrigerator food cold if the power will be out for more than four hours. Purchase or make ice and store in the freezer for use in the refrigerator or cooler. Freeze gel packs ahead of time for use in coolers. Plan ahead and know where dry ice and block ice can be purchased. If the power goes out: Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. A refrigerator will keep food cold for about four hours if you keep the door closed. A full freezer will keep its temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if half-full). If the power is out for an extended period of time, buy dry or block ice to keep the refrigerator as cold as possible. Fifty pounds of dry ice should keep a fully-stocked 18-cubic- feet freezer cold for two days. After an emergency: Check the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. If the thermometer reads 40° F or below, the food is safe. If no thermometer was used in the freezer, check each package. If food still contains ice crystals or is at 40°F or below when checked with a food thermometer, it may be safely refrozen. Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deli items) that have been kept in a refrigerator or freezer above 40° F for two hours or more.

Te town at its prettiest There was a time when yards were a point of pride for many ladies in town. It was a time when things were not so hur- ried and there was time to tend to lawns, flowers, shrubs and trees. These ladies were members of garden clubs and took great pride in their abilities to landscape their yards, arrange flowers for special occasions and holidays and contribute to the beauty of the town. Local historian and photographer Mabel Maultsby Prevatte counted herself among these ladies and recorded in the 1950s and early 1960s on color slide film some of the prettiest yards Whiteville offered in its heyday.
