In the syllabuses, she says, accomplished women of history are left out in favor of “unremarkable women who are of interest primarily because the patriarchy victimized them in one way or another.”

Into the frying pan is not the place to be
■ Restaurant owners and workers take care: Dozens of people, mostly teen-agers, suffer serious bums every year as a result of accidents involving deep fryers, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
In some cases, workers actually have fallen into the fryers. Burns account for 12 percent of all job-related injuries in restaurants, and the CDC says deep fryers pose the biggest danger.
Teen-agers may be most at risk because more than 1 million of them work in restaurants, typically with little fryer training.

The time is right
■	If you procrastinated throughout the summer, putting off any career decisions until after Labor Day, it was actually a brilliant stroke, says Goodrich & Sherwood, a consulting firm.
Most companies do their marketing and manufacturing planning in the fall, chairman Andrew Sherwood says, so that’s the best time for would-be job applicants to start plotting their own career moves.

Go back in time to the days when French Colonials ruled the territory
By KAT BERGERON____________________________
THE SUN HERALD
After centuries of silence, the French colonials will re-occupy Fort Maurepas, pitching tents, firing musket volleys, drilling military-style in 18th-century clothing and cooking over open fires.
The curious and the history-minded are invited next weekend to the beachfront site in Ocean Springs to watch the colonials, who will whisk them back to the 1700s, when life in the frontier Louisiana Territory was rough and tumble and as uncertain as the next hearty meal.
The soldiers, wives and children — about 20 in all — are living historians, the title used for re-enactors who follow the traditions of the era they portray. Friday through Sunday, they will live at the replica fort, started 13 years ago to mark the birthplace of the French-American colony.
Their clothing, food, weapons, eating utensils, even their decks of playing cards, are accurate reproductions. Living history, they say, is the closest tiling to a time machine.
“This is a great way to learn, to actually experience how the people of another time lived,” says Ocean Springs re-enactor Ray Bellande, who portrays a worker-soldier sent to the Coast after Maurepas was established in 1699. 'x1 “I’m asi®ned that I grew up here and never real^knew my heritage or the Coast’s colonial hist^y — my ancestors’ history. Re-enactings a learning tool, a way to ‘feel’ history, notAst to read it in a book.”
