For Donna and her daughters’ portrayal of the 18th century arts, they dress in clo
thing handspun from flax and patterned in the exact style of that era. Donna’s dress
and apron imitate those worn by Pennsylvania German women, and Amy’s dress
copies that worn by a young girl living in England during that era. The blues and
browns of the dress were hand-dyed using indigo for the blue and walnuts for the
brown linen.

Museum, Donna also incorporated
her daughters into some of the
demonstrations the museum holds
annually.
In addition to 18th century
crafts, Donna was a former Girl
Scout leader, coordinated religious
education programs, and is a mem
ber of the Gaelic (Scot-Irish) Soci
ety, in which her daughters play
flutes.
The Haines family often take
homespun wool and flax to sell at
Civil War reenactments.
Not all the girls’ activities are

Slow Cooking: Is It Safe?
WILLIAMSPORT (Lycoming
Co.) With today’s busy life
style, slow cookers or crock-pots
have become a popular way to
have dinner ready when you arrive
home. In the morning, you just
place the food items in die pot and
let them cook all day instant
meal at 6 p.m. But, with all the
concern about food-borne illness,
consumers are questioning the
safety of slow cookers.
The USDA has stated that slow
cookers arc safe, if used properly.
Together, the direct heat from the
play in the Manheim Central band,
Stacy is a cheerleader, and both are
members of their church’s youth
group.
The day care students also learn
more than 18th century crafts
when under the care of the Haines
family. When a preschooler found
a dead locust, Donna said, “Let’s
take dial inside to examine under a
microscope.”
“Everything we do is hands
on,” Donna said of her teaching
style. “It’s how children learn.”
If interested in contacting Don

pot, the lengthy cooking time, and
the steam created within the tight
ly covered container increases the
temperature quickly enough to
destroy the bacteria to make slow
cooking a safe process.
It’s important to begin with a
clean appliance, utensils, and
work area. Keeping all perishable
foods in the refrigerator below
40*F until preparation time reduc
es the chance that bacteria will
grow. (Note: If you cut meat and
vegetables in advance, keep them
in separate containers in the re
frigerator. This reduces the risk of
cross-contamination.) All of these
safe food handling practices as
sure the food doesn’t have a head
start on bacterial growth before
it’s placed in Vie slow cooker.
