A History Lesson
Visit to Gilfillan Farm The Historical Society of Upper St. Clair has been able to trace changes to the Gilfillan farm buildings and landscape through photographs like this one. These images help to inform decisions made as a part of the Master Plan Project to restore and preserve these historic structures. Attend USC’s Community Day, Saturday, May 21, and tour the Gilfillan house and other buildings on the property beginning at noon. While there, take your own ride around the farm on a horse-drawn wagon. n
Members of the Frazer family enjoy a tractor ride during a visit with their cousins, the Gilfillans (circa 1950s).

Family Cookouts and Food Safety • Discard any food that has been sitting out for more than two hours. • Keep coolers out of direct sunlight and avoid opening them excessively. Cooking the Food The same rules you follow at home apply to cooking outdoors. You’ll need to: • Cook meat to the proper temperature to destroy potentially harmful bacteria. According to the USDA, hamburgers are safe to eat at 160 degrees Fahrenheit. • Separate different types of raw meat from each other. • Do not place cooked meat on a plate that once held raw meat. The same rule applies for utensils. Switch out your tongs to serve cooked meat. • Place cooked meats in a pan by the side of the grill. The heat will help maintain a safe internal temperature. n
