the
musical

Hall

York
City.
B
At
the
turn
of
the
century,
Newsies
is
a
rousing
tale
of
Jack
Kelly,
a
charismatic
newsboy
and
leader
of
a
ragtag
end
of
Newsies,
who
dream
only
of
a
better
life,
far
from
the
hardship
of
the
streets,
but
when
publishing
titan,
Joseph,
Pulitzer
and
William
Randolph
Hearst
raised
distribution
prices
at
the
Newsboys
expense,
Jack
finds
the
cause
to
fight
for
and
rallies
Newsies
from
across
the
city
to
strike
for
what's
right.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
many
exciting
events.
C
The
Super
Bowl
isn't
all
about
football
and
bragging
rights.
It's
all
about
the
food.
Did
you
know:
Americans
consume
more
food
on
Super
Bowl
Sunday
than
any
other
day.
Besides
thanksgiving,
we
do
hey,
I'm
Martie
Duncan
from
Martinez
parties,
calm
and
see
the
native
Food
Network
Star
I'm
known
for
affordable
ideas
for
easy,
entertaining
and
I'm,
making
a
couple
of
my
game
day.
Favorites
here
my
fiery
davalos
chicken
wings,
an
addictive
three
onion
dip,
along
with
my
fresh
guacamole
and
salsa.
C
But
did
you
know
all
of
these
can
cause
big
problems
if
you
don't
prepare
and
serve
them
properly.
Having
been
on
the
receiving
end
of
food
poisoning
a
couple
of
times,
I
know
how
important
food
safety
is
when
entertaining
so
I
partner
with
the
USDA,
the
FDA,
the
CDC
and
the
ad
council,
to
remind
you
to
make
food
safety
a
big
priority
on
game
day.
We
have
tips
on
foodsafety.gov
to
help
you
throw
a
winning
Super
Bowl
party,
because
everybody
loses
when
food
becomes
unsafe
for
parties.
I
always
follow
the
4140
rule
for
food
safety.
C
I
keep
cold
foods
chilled
at
40
degrees,
Fahrenheit
or
below,
and
hot
foods.
Heated
to
140
degrees,
Fahrenheit
or
above
also
remember,
to
clean,
separate
cook
and
chill
unclean
hands
are
one
of
the
biggest
culprits
for
spreading
germs.
So
every
time
you
high-five,
you
got
to
wash
them
again
before
preparing
and
serving
food
and
remember
to
use
clean
cutting
boards
and
to
clean
your
utensils,
and
your
countertops
two
homemade
salsa
and
guacamole
contain
a
lot
of
fresh
ingredients
like
I've
got
here.
C
Some
of
them
could
be
contaminated,
so
make
sure
to
wash
all
of
your
ingredients
and
your
hands.
Even
those
things
that
you
peel,
like
avocados
have
to
be
washed
before
you
use
them
now.
Cross-Contamination
occurs
when
raw
meats
touch
ready-to-eat
foods
like
veggies
and
for
serving
have
plenty
of
individual
plates
and
a
serving
spoon
for
each
dish.
This
encourages
guests
to
add
a
spoonful
of
guacamole
or
salsa
onto
their
plate,
rather
than
standing
at
the
buffet
and
grazing
out
of
a
shared
bowl.
