Emmy Award-Winning Television Host and Lifestyle Expert, Marisa Brahney shares a few of her favorite ways to get ready for another school year. FOOTWEAR One of the most popular back-to-school items continues to be footwear. Brahney says she’s not surprised, because all three of her kids and their friends love getting new shoes for the new school year. Additionally, as a parent, she mentions how kids’ and teenagers’ feet grow fast, and for that very reason, she keeps an eye on all the latest styles. Famous Footwear is the back-to-school destination for the whole family and home to brands consumers all know and love, including Nike, Crocs, Converse, New Balance, HeyDUDE and Doc Martens, just to name a few, all at a great value.

About Máyyan 'Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve Less than 15 miles south of downtown San José and nestled between the Santa Cruz and the Diablo mountain ranges, Máyyan 'Ooyákma in Northern Coyote Valley connects over one million acres of core habitat and open space. "Máyyan 'Ooyákma - Coyote Ridge is a biodiversity hot spot in Santa Clara County, and its opening as a preserve presents an unparalleled opportunity to educate the public about the importance of protecting habitats for endangered plants and animals and helping them adapt to a changing climate," said Andrea Mackenzie, general manager of the Open Space Authority. "With our free Butterfly Pass, bilingual interpretation, special hours and docent-led programs, the Open Space Authority is embarking on a novel approach to enlightening visitors about the pressing climate crisis and the sensitive species that rely on these lands. This place will serve as an inspiring outdoor classroom, welcoming people of all ages and abilities to learn about wildlife, climate science and how to responsibly care for the land." Trails and Access The trails at the preserve are organized as follows (see map below): MÁYYAN WÁAYI (COYOTE VALLEY) OVERLOOK TRAIL Distance: 1,000 feet | Average Grade: 5% SERPENTINE SPRING TRAIL | BUTTERFLY PASS REQUIRED | Distance: 1.3 miles | Elevation change: 1,000 feet TULE ELK TRAIL | BUTTERFLY PASS REQUIRED | Distance: 1.3 miles | Elevation change: <50 feet BAY CHECKERSPOT TRAIL | BUTTERFLY PASS REQUIRED | Distance: 2.5 miles | Elevation change: 1,000 feet Three of the preserve’s trails are located inside a “Habitat Protection Area,” where 1,830 acres are enrolled in the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan. To help safeguard the vulnerable species and natural resources present inside the preserve, the Habitat Protection Area will be carefully observed for human impacts and managed by Open Space Authority staff and volunteers. The area’s serpentine grasslands provide refuge for a wide variety of rare plants and wildlife, some of which have teetered on the edge of extinction. Among them are the Bay checkerspot butterfly, the Metcalf Canyon jewelflower, California red-legged frogs and tiger salamanders, tule elk, Western burrowing owls, golden eagles and numerous other birds of prey. Please note: A free annual Butterfly Pass is required year-round to access the trails inside the Habitat Protection Area. Passes are available at https://news.openspaceauthority.org/butterfly-pass-2023 To ensure that the Preserve’s sensitive habitat remain protected, all trails within the Habitat Protection Area will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays, with seasonal hours that will vary based on the needs of the local wildlife. Additionally, wildflower season traditionally attracts a lot of visitors on Bay Area trails, so starting March through May 2024, weekend access to the trails within the Habitat Protection Area will be available only via free docent-led hikes and events that require advance registration. Other important details about the visitor experience at Máyyan 'Ooyákma - Coyote Ridge: Parking at the preserve is limited to 42 vehicles.

Full details about preserve access schedule and regulations are online at https://www.openspaceauthority.org/preserves/coyoteridge.html “We are excited to welcome visitors to enjoy the trails," said Derek Neumann, field operations manager for the Open Space Authority. “This preserve is unlike any other in the Bay Area. It's home to many rare, endangered and endemic plants and animals, which is why our hours of operation and access to the Habitat Protection Area are seasonal and require the free Butterfly Pass. We want visitors to witness firsthand how unique this place is. We are asking everyone to do their part to help respect and protect the sensitive plants and wildlife that call this place home.” History of Máyyan 'Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve The preserve is located within the ethnohistoric territory of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area, which worked with the Open Space Authority to integrate a Chochenyo translation of “Coyote Ridge” into the preserve’s name. Máyyan 'Ooyákma is pronounced “ My-yahn Oiy-yahk-mah.” The Tribe also helped develop bilingual interpretive materials at the preserve to give further visibility to the Chochenyo language. In 2015, the Open Space Authority permanently protected the property after successfully securing a total of $8.6 million in funding to protect the rare serpentine grasslands, the Bay checkerspot butterfly population found on the preserve and the r wildlife connectivity this location provides between the Santa Cruz Mountains and Diablo Range. The acquisition was made possible through the generous support of various public and private partnerships, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the State Coastal Conservancy, the Wildlife Conservation Board, California State Parks, the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Resources Legacy Fund. Prior to its preservation, the property served as a buffer between the bustling Santa Clara Valley and a 5,127-acre facility for rocket and missile testing that United Technologies Corporation operated just a stone's throw away from San José. Funding for this public access project totaled $4 million, provided by the Open Space Authority's Measure Q, a $400,000 grant from the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, $400,000 in funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Priority Conservation Area Grant Program and over $2.5 million from California State Parks. ### Click here for photos, B-ROLL, and brochures About the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority conserves the natural environment, supports agriculture, and connects people to nature, by protecting open spaces, natural areas, and working farms and ranches for future generations.

Experts encourage including HPV vaccine in back-to-school preparation for kids

YourUpdateTV

Every year, nearly than 40,000 men and women are diagnosed with a cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and about 14 million people, including teens, become infected with HPV each year. Recently, Heather Brandt, PhD, the Director of the HPV Cancer Prevention Program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, conducted a satellite media tour to increase awareness and education about the importance of HPV vaccination in preventing HPV-related cancers. Dr. Brandt is urging parents and caregivers to include HPV vaccination in their child’s back-to-school immunizations. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/36xZsO3L3U4 There are several good reasons to immunize children against HPV as early as possible. HPV vaccination is recommended for males and females ages 9-26. HPV vaccination is encouraged to be completed by the 13th birthday, well before the potential for exposure to HPV, which is why Dr. Brandt is encouraging including HPV vaccination as part of a child’s back-to-school preparation. HPV can cause six different types of cancers: cervical, vaginal, vulvar, oral, anal and penile. One of the biggest misconceptions is that HPV only affects women, which is false. Men can also be diagnosed with HPV and carry the virus, which is why HPV vaccination is encouraged for both females and males. It is important that parents know which vaccines are recommended for their children and why. This allows for parents to have a thorough discussion with their child's health care provider and can avoid surprises and last-minute decision-making on vaccines. For more information go to stjude.org/hpv. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIO: Heather M. Brandt, PhD, is the Director of the HPV Cancer Prevention Program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Dr. Brandt, a social and behavioral scientist, focuses on working with stakeholders to prevent and control cancer by using evidence-based interventions through innovative, partnered approaches. About the HPV Cancer Prevention Program Launched in 2021, the HPV Cancer Prevention Program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has set out to increase awareness and education about the importance of HPV vaccination in preventing HPV-related cancers. As the only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center dedicated solely to children, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has an important role and responsibility in increasing HPV vaccination rates locally, regionally, and nationally.
