If you have plants, shrubs, etc that you want to donate to the City Park NOT next to the swimming pool, please call me at 620.375.8033 or send an email to me at slblaus@gmail.com . I will be very happy to pick up those items if you prefer. The revitalizing group really needs to get these plants planted sooner than later.
We SOOOOOOOO appreciate your plants for the park!!!
At this time, we are still discussing what trees and/or shrubs should be purchased for the park. As I mentioned before either on my blog or in my news-E-letter, those items can be purchased by anyone in memory of loved ones, etc. If you have ideas of what should be planted, please send me an email or call me on my cellphone number that I just posted.
Thank you!!!

Conclusion
Okay, Folks. I took time out of my lunch hour to check the baby car seat information that I posted last night. I urge you to check it out for yourselves. You may get something different out of it than I did.
There is a snopes accounting of this subject matter, HOWEVER, as I understood it, some variations of this information broadcast that this activity would happen during so-called "Gang week" which, as I understood it, usually happens around Halloween. I would think that each gang might have their own gang week at different times of the year. So far, none of my calendars have scheduled a gang week at any particular time. Ha! Though what I posted detailed gang members as being the people who would set up a carseat for such purpose as to beat, rape and/or kill women, I don't believe that only gangs would be interested in using this type of target.
I cannot say that I definitely know that this has happened NOR can I say that it has not happened. Unfortunately, we live in a society where stranger things like this have and do happen. Don't believe me? Then check out the news on TV, your radio or on the internet. Because of these upsetting events, I choose to bury my head in the sand by avoiding the broadcast news as much as possible. I realize how stupid that makes me sound but it is the option that I have chosen so that I don't stay awake all night out of fear. Take it or leave it.
In conclusion, I honestly believe that ploys such as this have probably been used or may be used sometime in the future. I do NOT, however, believe that only gangs might use these tactics. I would be more inclined in believing that individuals instead of groups of people would try something like this. Who knows? Maybe I have watched one more crime show on TV than I should have. LOL!!! Do with it whatever you want. Ignore it. Or use this information as fuel to be more aware of what may be going on around you.

9-1-1 vs. 1-1-2
Last night, I posted an email that was sent to me by a VERY trustworthy individual who I trust VERY much. A reader took great offense to it. He/She sent me a Snopes address to go to in reference to it. I just have a couple of minutes right now so I have not taken out the time to look it up. You can do it whenever you are not busy also. I urge you to do so. Whether these events actually happened or not, I cannot say for sure. I can see these events happening in this crazy world that we live in.
One thing that the commenter wrote was that the phone number 1-1-2 is usually only available in Europe. I think that this is very probable as I have not heard of it myself. I do believe that if anything like this happens to us, the best decision that we can make is to call 9-1-1.
Once I have more time, I will go to Snopes about this. Once I do, I will post their information on the matter.

Upcoming Fun in Tribune
Have you ever had the wish that you could issue warrants so that someone you know would be ARRESTED? If you know of someone in Tribune who you'd enjoy seeing "arrested", here is your chance to make that a reality. The Star Theatre's Board of Directors is sponsoring this fundraiser.
On Thursday, October 6th, anyone in Greeley County has the possibility of being arrested. If you would like to "issue an arrest warrant" for someone in Greeley County, please contact Christy Hopkins of the Greeley County Economic Development Committee. Her number at work is 620.376.2548.
To order a warrant, you will need to pay $25.00 for that right. You can either call Christy or another board member before next Thursday or drop by the theatre during the day.
If you are a prisoner of the theatre, you or someone else needs to post a $50.00 bond.
Want to purchase insurance that will prevent you from being arrested, you can pay a $100.00 fee to a board member or at the theatre.
The jail will be in place right in front of the theatre.
All proceeds will be used for the Star Theatre.

Important Information for Drivers and Passengers to Always Remember
Folks, I just received this email and knew that I just had to post it here for all of my readers to read. Much is to be learned about these 2 situations.

SITUATION...
While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it.
For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Canton PD and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....
"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.
"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police Department where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it....waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.
"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON 'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.
"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.
THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.
THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."
Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe.
Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM..
WARNING # 2
Some knew about the red light on cars, but not the 112.
It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.
Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her.. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.
I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place.
*Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about 112.

Tribune--Movie--of--the--Weekend
Before I announce this weekend's movie, I want to mention something else here. I am SOOO excited about the amount of people from Wichita County who are going to the movies at the theatre in Tribune now! We were hosts there almost 2 weeks ago. We saw some people from Wichita County then. Last weekend, we took the girls and a couple of their friends to watch THE SMURF MOVIE on Saturday. A large amount of us, Wichita Countians, were in attendance then! People whom e have spoken to have told us that there are a variety of reasons why they are now going to Tribune movies on a regular basis. I want to share them with you now.
1. The tickets and refreshments are VERY well priced.
2. Less fuel and time required on the road to watch a new movie.
3. A wonderfully renovated theatre
4. Trust that their children and themselves are in a CLEAN and SAFE theatre environment.
5. Comfortable seating
Because of all of these reasons, you just might want to head on over to Tribune to see the latest movies!
This weekend's movie is THE RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES and is classified as Action/Adventure/Drama/Science Fiction/Fantasy and is rated PG-13 for intense and frightening sequences of action and violence. It has a running time of 1 hour and 50 minutes. Stars include James Franco, Freida Pinto and John Lithgow. Showtime is at 8:00 CST on Friday, September 30th,and Saturday and Sunday, October 1st and 2nd.
Synopsis: A single act of compassion and arrogance leads to a war unlike any other--and to the rise of the planet of the apes.
Tickets:
Adults, 13 and older: $5.00 each
Children, 4 though 12-year-olds: $4.00 each.
Children from birth through 3-years-old: F-R-E-E
Refreshments are always very fairly priced also.
See you at the movies!!!

Local Emergency Fundraiser
A Leoti family is preparing for major surgery in Hays, Kansas. To raise extra money to help with lodging, fuel and food, they are currently selling HOMEMADE flour tortillas. If you have ever tried a homemade tortilla, you know that there is N-O comparison between that and a store bought tortilla. The family is asking $8.00 per dozen.
If interested, please call Regina at 785.392.0616. They will be happy to deliver the tortillas to you unless you want to pick them up yourself.
In the meantime, please remember Melinda, their daughter, and the rest of their family as she has surgery next Wednesday.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a day!
Yesterday started off just like any other school day. I got the girls out of bed so that they could be ready for school by the time that the school bus arrived here. After that, I went downtown to run some errands. Little did I know that I would be spending time in the emergency room not once but TWO times in less than than a 5 hour time span...
I was not sick but I did have a health concern that I was not expecting at about 1:00. I was a bit nervous about it so I called Danley. Fortunately, he was already in town. He told me to come and pick him up and we would go to the clinic together. When I called the clinic to get an appointment, I was told that in a case like I was experiencing, I needed to go directly to the E.R. We did as I was told. Soon after arriving, the doctor came in. She did a certain procedure to check things out. The problem was diagnosed and treatment was given. Stan and I both left the hospital feeling much better than we did when we entered the building. Thank You, Lord!!!
For the rest of the afternoon, more errands in Leoti and Scott City were run. When we arrived at home, Stan, the girls and I were carrying in bags. I, of course, was at the end of the line. I tend to walk considerably slower than everyone else. LOL! When I got to the porch, my shoe struck the next porch step and I felt myself falling. It is amazing that in the split seconds it takes to fall, I was trying to protect my head from being hurt. I do that naturally ever since my heart surgery. My doctors cautioned me that by my blood having to be so thin to go through my mechanical heart valve, I have to be especially cautious with head injury. If it strikes something hard, chances are that I will bleed to death before help arrives. Yeppers. It is a scary situation for me.
Well, Folks, I can tell you that my head is just fine. When I felt myself getting ready to tumble, I reached my left hand out for the porch handrail next to me. The rest of my body followed my hand. In one easy movement, my body succeeded in taking out the entire handrail!!! It was over. No doubt about it, I was about to hurt.
If you have been reading my blog for the past few months, you will recall that Stan and I had done a major transformation of our front porch last Spring. Just to the left of our porch steps, is a slope that we planted with a variety of plants. The Rose Moss that we planted did very well and spread even better than we had hoped. The slope was beautiful! Unfortunately, when the l-o-n-g stretch of triple digits hit, it became more and more difficult for me to do the weeding, etc that needed to be done in our flower gardens. The weeds and sticker patches sprung up from the soil and were doing especially well. For the past couple of weeks, I have planned on getting out there and yanking them out but for a variety of reasons, I had never gotten it done. (That changes this weekend!) Most of my body landed on that slope. My clothing became a sticker magnet. Stickers were protruding from my shirt and jeans. They also connected my clothing directly to my body. Yep, you could definitely say that there was some pain involved.
But while I was in free fall motion, my right hand reached out to break my fall. Hmmm, that was when things really went bad. Instantly, my arm hurt and began to swell. Fortunately, Abigayle who had just walked into the foyer, saw all of this happening. She hollered for help for me. Help arrived quickly. LOL! Stan sat me up on my rump and began to survey the damages that had been done. He began to pluck out the stickers by hand. But when that became a painful experience for him, he resorted to his pocket knife. My shirt was just coated with stickers. It reminded me of a neat project we did in Girl Scouts yesteryear when we were doing a project for Christmas. We took oranges and covered them in cloves, etc. By the time that our project was completed, very little orange was visible. That is how my shirt was. LOL! I knew that bad things were getting worse when Stan instructed Leighlyn to go after a blanket. I knew it was a wonderful temp outside so since we didn't need the blanket for warmth, something else was at stake. Yeah, I was right. Leighlyn held the blanket on my back side while Stan took my shirt off of me. It was the quickest way to pull the stickers out of me. Unfortunately, I am quite sure that the people who may have been watching this activity from my front side, will never be the same again. I worry that straight men may have been converted to gay-dom as soon as they saw me with no shirt on. LOL!!!
So anyway, most of the stickers were now gone. We were now going to proceed to the next step--getting me off of the sidewalk. By this time, my right forearm was swelling more and more. Burning pain was really settling into it also. Without my right arm to push me up, I needed extra help. Stan called Leif to come and help him lift me to my feet. Leif was at our house in just a couple of minutes. Once he arrived, Stan asked him if he had brought his crane. Ha! Ha! Unfortunately, the answer was "NO" which meant that both men would have to raise me to my feet. I felt sooo bad for them. In one quick motion, they had me off of my rear end and up on the bottoms of my feet.
My arm was continuing to swell like a balloon. The decision was made to take me to the hospital--AGAIN! Once there, the same doctor who had come to my rescue a few hours earlier, entered the emergency room. X-rays were ordered. Well, nothing appears to be broken. Time will tell for sure. In situations like this, it sometimes takes a few days before the broken bone can be seen through x-rays. A great ice pack was given to me which helped the swelling and consequent pain considerably.
Ordinarily, I would have gone straight home after leaving the hospital. Last night was different though. Abigayle and a bunch of other grade school students were going to be performing a musical number during the football game's half-time. Stan and I could simply not miss out on that. I took the ice bag with me. We went to sit with my mother. She began laughing at me before we reached her. She pointed out that the ice bag looked just like a sanitary napkin wrapped around my naked arm!!! OMG! I took a closer look and determined that she was exactly right!!! LOL!!! I considered removing the bag from my arm and tucking it away in my bra-ket where my cellphone was also nestled. There would have been room for the two objects but if the bag was there, my arm would continue to burn and ache. So the bag remained on my arm for the rest of the evening. People who saw it are probably wondering today about what kind of action is being done by having a sanitary napkin wrapped around an arm. Who knows? People may have gone out today, purchased a package of these feminine hygiene products and wrapped one around their forearms. So if you happen to go downtown and see someone walking around with one of these pads secured around their arm, leg, etc., have a little chuckle because YOU know where the idea came from. LOL!!!
This morning, Stan returned to the porch and re-attached the handrail to it. I was advised that handrails are not necessarily built to handle LARGE FLYING OBJECTS. Stan is such a sweet husband... Some of the swelling is better. There is still pain and a huge multi-colored bruise appeared on my chest, of all things. I am confident that I will be returning to normal sooner than later.
Be careful out there, Folks!!! This same fate could be lurking somewhere in YOUR future...

I was not sick but I did have a health concern that I was not expecting at about 1:00. I was a bit nervous about it so I called Danley. Fortunately, he was already in town. He told me to come and pick him up and we would go to the clinic together. When I called the clinic to get an appointment, I was told that in a case like I was experiencing, I needed to go directly to the E.R. We did as I was told. Soon after arriving, the doctor came in. She did a certain procedure to check things out. The problem was diagnosed and treatment was given. Stan and I both left the hospital feeling much better than we did when we entered the building. Thank You, Lord!!!
For the rest of the afternoon, more errands in Leoti and Scott City were run. When we arrived at home, Stan, the girls and I were carrying in bags. I, of course, was at the end of the line. I tend to walk considerably slower than everyone else. LOL! When I got to the porch, my shoe struck the next porch step and I felt myself falling. It is amazing that in the split seconds it takes to fall, I was trying to protect my head from being hurt. I do that naturally ever since my heart surgery. My doctors cautioned me that by my blood having to be so thin to go through my mechanical heart valve, I have to be especially cautious with head injury. If it strikes something hard, chances are that I will bleed to death before help arrives. Yeppers. It is a scary situation for me.
Well, Folks, I can tell you that my head is just fine. When I felt myself getting ready to tumble, I reached my left hand out for the porch handrail next to me. The rest of my body followed my hand. In one easy movement, my body succeeded in taking out the entire handrail!!! It was over. No doubt about it, I was about to hurt.
If you have been reading my blog for the past few months, you will recall that Stan and I had done a major transformation of our front porch last Spring. Just to the left of our porch steps, is a slope that we planted with a variety of plants. The Rose Moss that we planted did very well and spread even better than we had hoped. The slope was beautiful! Unfortunately, when the l-o-n-g stretch of triple digits hit, it became more and more difficult for me to do the weeding, etc that needed to be done in our flower gardens. The weeds and sticker patches sprung up from the soil and were doing especially well. For the past couple of weeks, I have planned on getting out there and yanking them out but for a variety of reasons, I had never gotten it done. (That changes this weekend!) Most of my body landed on that slope. My clothing became a sticker magnet. Stickers were protruding from my shirt and jeans. They also connected my clothing directly to my body. Yep, you could definitely say that there was some pain involved.
But while I was in free fall motion, my right hand reached out to break my fall. Hmmm, that was when things really went bad. Instantly, my arm hurt and began to swell. Fortunately, Abigayle who had just walked into the foyer, saw all of this happening. She hollered for help for me. Help arrived quickly. LOL! Stan sat me up on my rump and began to survey the damages that had been done. He began to pluck out the stickers by hand. But when that became a painful experience for him, he resorted to his pocket knife. My shirt was just coated with stickers. It reminded me of a neat project we did in Girl Scouts yesteryear when we were doing a project for Christmas. We took oranges and covered them in cloves, etc. By the time that our project was completed, very little orange was visible. That is how my shirt was. LOL! I knew that bad things were getting worse when Stan instructed Leighlyn to go after a blanket. I knew it was a wonderful temp outside so since we didn't need the blanket for warmth, something else was at stake. Yeah, I was right. Leighlyn held the blanket on my back side while Stan took my shirt off of me. It was the quickest way to pull the stickers out of me. Unfortunately, I am quite sure that the people who may have been watching this activity from my front side, will never be the same again. I worry that straight men may have been converted to gay-dom as soon as they saw me with no shirt on. LOL!!!

Neighborhood Watch
When hundreds of people live in a county and there are only 4 police officers to protect them and theirs, it is stupid to think that there will be no crime. But there is hope on the horizon to minimize crime if the townspeople are willing to work together to prevent as much as possible. No, I don't mean that everyone needs to go out and purchase guns, sets of handcuffs, etc. Communities around the country can start their own neighborhood watches. Time has proven that this is the number ONE best battle to stop the majority of crime in our neighborhoods. To top it all off, this does not make your taxes go up and it is completely a non-profit organization. I know of no one who would object to something like this--except for the criminals themselves.
So how do we get this started? Well, in Leoti, work is already underway. Laura Ritter has taken the bull (crime) by the horns and is taking the initiatives to make Leoti an even better place to live for not only our children, our neighbors and our selves, but for the entire community. To start the process, Laura has gained the partnership of Mayor Lori Christensen and Sheriff Randy Keeton.
This is where YOU AND I come in. We can start by visiting with our neighbors to see if they would be interested in taking their neighborhoods back. Chances are, they will. Quatrents have already been staked out. A captain will be necessary in each one. I was asked to be the captain of Quatrent "A" for our neighborhood. That will include the area north of the railroad tracks to the north edge of town and from Highway 25 to the west to the edge of town. I cannot tell you exactly where your quatrent is. For that information, you need to contact Laura at 620.401.9040. She can fill you in on all other information.
In each quatrent, safe homes are needed for children. Stan and I will be offering that in our neighborhood. If your children in our neighborhood are being bullied, chased, scared, etc, they can make their way here. We will care for them until you or the police can get here. These safe homes should put parents' minds to ease when they know that there is someone else out there who can help your children in case of any of the above situations. Those safe houses will be scattered throughout the community. Please point these homes out to your children so that they have an idea of where they can go if you are not available. If you are interested in providing this non profit service, please contact Laura.
In our part of the world, tornadoes are always a threat. Many people are killed every year in Tornado Alley because of these twisters. Unfortunately, not all of us have underground safety that we can go to easily. If you have a basement or celler that you don't mind sharing with people in your area, please let Laura know. Of course, we have wonderful public shelters that we all can go to in case of emergency but not all of us have transportation or the time necessary to get to these public shelters.
In order to have neighborhood watch work for us, we need to get street signs and window/door decals up that tell the "bad guy" that we take care of our neigbors and ourselves. Of course, these cost money. Plastic 9" by 12" neighborhood watch signs can be purchased for $4.00. 18" x 24" aluminum signs cost around $35.00 each. A package of 12 window/door decals costs $7.00. None of these prices seem especially high but they really add up when you are trying to get your neighborhood and community lined out with them. At this time, grants are being sought to purchase these crime deterents. If no grants are available, we will have to set up money raisers such as baked goods, etc or ask the neighbors to band together and purchase these materials for their neighborhood.
I have spoken with a BUNCH of people about this yesterday when this came to my attention. I talked to people on the phone, downtown and at last night's football game. Out of those people, NOT even one person was negative about this prospect coming to Leoti. A lot of them have wondered why it has taken so long to get it organized here. The answer is simple. Until now, no one evidentally took the time and energy to look into it and put things into the proper motion. Now we have the opportunity to do it.
People in Leoti can call Laura at 620.401.9040. She has left brochures at the Wichita County Sheriff's Office if you would like to drop by and pick one up. Take it around and show it to your neighbors and to local businesses. Remember to have this service, NO ONE has to pay for it. We just need to do the right thing. If you see something that should not be happening in your neighborhood, call the police and contact your neighbors. It is sad but some neighbors, for whatever reason, keep the knowledge of seeing a crime being done to themselves.
If you would like to donate money to purchase the watch materials sooner than later, please let Laura, the Sheriff's Office or City Hall know.

Country Oven
If you live in Western Kansas, chances are that you have heard of Ashlyn Nightengale's Country Oven. Ashlyn bakes breads of all kinds, cookies, pies, etc., etc., etc. His bakery goods are just divine! Ashlyn's bakery is located in Marienthal, Kansas which is just 8 miles east of Leoti.
Another great reason for you to attend the Whimmydiddle in Scott City on Saturday is to pay a visit to Ashlyn there. He has been going to this event for the past 8-10 years and always enjoys seeing his old friends and meeting new ones there. As always, his booth will be set up at the north end of the park close to the gazebo.
Don't forget that you can purchase Country Oven products at Suzie B's Flower Shop in Scott City every day and at Leoti's Heritage Meats on Thursdays and Fridays.
Folks, October is just around the corner. The holidays will be here before we know it. You just might want to start freezing some of Ashlyn's goodies in preparation for your family and friends.

Wildlife in Leoti?
A lady in Southeastern Leoti donated some mums for the Leoti City Park. Her house is close to the Wichita County Library. She had them all dug up and put into a cardboard box. We drove to her house one day last week to pick them up. As we drove to her home, we discovered that she had "company". Right there in her front yard was a young pheasant hen. The bird was so young that she did not have her tail feathers yet. I wonder if this is another sign of things to come this winter...

Leoti City Park
Have you driven by the Leoti City Park recently? Before I go any further, I need to explain something. L.C.P. is what was formerly known as the Boy Scout Park. The park that is next to the swimming pool is the Wichita County Park. If you have driven by the city park, you were probably impressed with what you saw. New plaground equipment, courtesy of School District 467, is set up and kids are enjoying it! Large tables with awnings have been moved to the park for people to eat at. Charcoal grills are ready for you to barbeque on. A few years ago, a concrete walking path was added to L.C.P.
Right now a committee is being formed to help with such things as adding trees, shrubs, flowers, etc. If you are interested in being on that committee, please call 620.375.8027 or 620.375.2341.
Some plants have already been donated but more donations would be greatly appreciated! If you have something that you would like to donate, please call the above numbers. The committee will be happy to dig them up if you want them to.
I am proud to be on this committee and I am looking forward to doing my part to breathe new life into L.C.P.

Gadgets to Help Keep You Warm This Winter
Lynn,
As temperatures begin to drop, consumers may soon have a lot more on their minds than the coming winter chill. Since 2010, many states have seen the cost of home heating oil rise by as much as 30% or more. Depending on where you live, a particularly glacial season could put a serious freeze on your budget. So instead of just cranking up the thermostat, check out these six alternative tools for keeping costs down and the heat up. Splurging on all of these high-tech solutions could cost you a pretty penny, but pick out one or two and your wallet may thank you come Spring.
1. Cuddle up with a USB blanket.
If you spend a lot of time at home on the computer, this USB heated blanket is perfect for keeping away the chills. It plugs into any USB port, comes with two cords and can be worn over the shoulders or across your lap. Just pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in.
2. Keep your toes toasty with battery-powered heating socks.
These super-cozy socks have a thin battery-powered heating element encased in the toe that won't overheat, and are made out of "moisture-wicking" material to keep you toasty, not sweaty.
3. Get efficient with a programmable thermostat.
This one's a no-brainer so if you don't have one, get one. A programmable thermostat will automatically lower the temperature of your home at night or while you're out and about, making the heat run less when you're not actively using it. Avoid the elements all together and find free shipping codes for Home Depot, who has a great selection of these handy devices.
4. Stay mobile with touch-screen gloves.
iPhone users have long known the frustration of trying to text, swipe or tap while out in the elements. Hopefully you won't need gloves in the house too often, but when Jack Frost really comes a knockin', these babies from Agloves made with a special conductive material will keep you connected.
5. Dodge the draft with outlet insulation.
Drafts pass in and out of the home through the outlet and outlet covers, especially the ones along exterior walls. Fortunately there are special outlet and switch gaskets specially made to reduce drafts. Ask your local hardware store or just DIY.
6. Go old school with the hot water bottle.
OK, this is hardly high-tech, but this ingenious invention is still one of the best and easiest ways to stay warm in bed, as well as soothe aches and pains. It's cheap, reusable and will last forever. Tell that to your soon-to-be obsolete iPhone 4.

Whimmydiddle (Corrected Date)
Years ago, my beloved mother-in-law, Joyce E. Blau, was one of the founders for Scott City's famous Whimmydiddle. I am sure that she would be stunned at just how very popular this event has become! It will be held at the City Park in Scott City on Saturday, September 24th. Don't forget to mark it on your calendar!
I'd like to add just one little thing. We have friends who live close to the park. Every year, they put up with participants of Whimmydiddle parking in their private driveway, in their backyard, and blocking their neighbors' driveways. PLEASE be kind and don't park where you should not be.
Thank you!!!

Recent Observances in Nature
For awhile now, people around here have noticed LARGE swarms of dragonflies. When asked the question, "Is this a natural sign of our upcoming Fall and Winter?", an elder farmer remarked that this means that we will have an early Fall. The lady who had mentioned this on FACEBOOK did some investigation about this in the current Farmer's Almanac. What she learned was that we in this area, should be expecting "a wet and wild winter". I don't know about you, but as far as I am concerned, I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!! Much, if not all, of Kansas needs to have a bunch of moisture. This could be the answer to our prayers.
Last weekend, we noticed large groups of yellow butterflies and Monarchs seemingly everywhere. They are on their way to Mexico for the winter. I have never noticed so many of them. On Saturday, we were in Garden City. When we were walking and driving through the Wal-Mart parking lot, we were stunned at how many of the vehicles had yellow butterflies stuck in their automobiles' grills. I have to wonder what all of this means.

Corrigan Brothers' New Hit
Ger Corrigan just sent me this and I could hardly wait to post it here!
You've seen the Corrigan Brothers on my blog several times. They are a famous band in Ireland but are gaining momentum all over the world. They had the seven-million You Tube hit, "There's No One as Irish as Barack Obama" They're at it again with "Arthur's Day in Ollie Hayes Bar".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxN55hG18gM
Arthur's Day honours the remarkable legacy of Arthur Guinness, the pioneering brewer and philanthropist and the man who in 1759, created the most famous drink in the world.
Ollie Hayes Pub is the world's most famous pub. It can be found in Moneygall, Ireland, the ancestral home of President Obama. The President himself dropped in for Guinness recently and the First Lady poured a few pints of the famous drink.
Enjoy!

Teachings
As the mother of two precious daughters, I was quite taken with the following passage. I hope that you get as much out of it as I do.
"Teach your daughters to destinguish between a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her. A man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her. A man who views her as his property and lusts after her and the man who loves her. A man who believes he is "God's gift to women" and a man who remembers a woman is God's gift to man."
And if you have been blessed with a special son like we have, teach him to be the RIGHT kind of man!

Quote
Recently, a friend of mine sent me this quote. I was quite impressed with it and now want to post it here for you to read.
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wichita County Elementary School Site Council
We had our first meeting of the school year yesterday afternoon. Several issues were discussed including what to do about a sign to identify the new school building. Various ideas are being considered including a sign that would be posted on the ground, the name being put on the building itself and the thought of a marquee being set up. If we go with the marquee, upcoming school events would be placed on there so that the public would know what was coming up. Of course, it would cost more money to go with it but at this time, I think that it would be the best way to go. If you have any thoughts on the matter, please let the Site Council members, elementary school or school board office know what you recommend. Here are their phone numbers:
W.C.E.S.: 620.375.2314
USD 467: 620.375.4677
At the beginning of the meeting, we chose officers for the 2010-2011 school year. Here are the new board members:
Vice President: Dr. Julia Myers
Secretary/Recorder: Denise Gerstberger
President: Me
Some of the other council members include Dawn Haverfield-McKinney; principal of W.C.E.S, Denise Gerstberger, parent and Kindergarten teacher, Marti Lewis-Engels, parent and teacher, Judy Sondreggor-Tankersley, First Grade Teacher and Misty Casper-Gardner, parent.
If at any time, you have a recommendation, etc, please contact any of the above people or the school office.

Well, Folks, it has taken awhile but I have now decided to return to writing my blog. Many of you had asked to be put on my newsletter list. I greatly appreciate that! But, at least for me, it wasn't the same thing. I hated to send out any more that 2 newsletters a week so that I did not stuff your boxes so a lot of information was not getting out like it needed to be. Anyway, I am back on here and will look forward to meeting you here!
