Page 2 Volume 9, Issue 1 Pure Romance We run around the entire year bargaining with time, because sometimes we don't have time for our loved ones or for ourselves. Special days like Valentines Day serve as good reasons to take time to be with our loved ones. We often struggle with this, since it can be hard to come up with romantic valentine ideas. As we lose touch with this softer side of life spending too much time at work, often times we can't easily get into the world of romance. What would be the ideal Valentines Day gift? How about a dozen roses, 11 red and 1 white rose signify- ing her beauty standing out among the rest. Maybe “Love Coupons” with each one having a romantic message on it. Sidewalk chalk, cheap and easy and can make a sweet mes- sage on the driveway. Romance doesn’t have to be expensive, but only thoughtful. It can be as simple as a soft touch as you walk by each other or a post-it note on a mirror, on their steering wheel or the page in their book where they left off. It’s important to keep the spice in your relationship and to let your partner know how much their love for you is desired. Have fun this Valentines Day!! Police & Fire BUDGET CUTS??

  • KEEP SMILING No. 7
    KEEP SMILING No. 7 Upon entering the little country store, the stranger noticed a sign saying ‘DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG!’ posted on the glass door. Inside he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor besides the cash register. He asked the store manager: “Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?” “Yes, that’s him,” he replied. The stranger couldn’t help but be amused. “That certainly doesn’t look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?” Because,” the owner replied. “Before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him. As he stood at the bar for the first time with his son the proud father said: “Now is as good a time to talk about some of the facts of life. Remember, a man that drinks beyond his capacity is no gentleman. To enjoy life you must observe a happy medium. Have a drink occasionally, but never, never, never get drunk.” “Yes sir,” replied his dutiful son. “But how am I to know when I am drunk?” “Well, you see those two men over there in the corner?” said the father. “If you were to see four men, you’d know you were drunk. ”“Dad, let me have the keys,” grinned the son. “There’s only one guy over there.

  • Donated Steer Raises Cash for Steaks for Troops
    Donated steer raises cash for Steaks for Troops Broadie says the steak feeds are very humbling experiences, as the soldiers are always so appreciative. Lynn Langvardt, one of the owners of J.C. Livestock Sales, sets up the steer that was auctioned off to raise money for the All American Beef Battalion Steaks for Troops program. He is joined by Bill Broadie, founder of AABB and Mr. and Mrs. Gary John- son of Dwight who donated the steer, as well as a couple of soldiers from Ft. Riley. By Donna Sullivan, Editor On our own, we can’t always accomplish all that we would like, but collaborative efforts can yield dramatic results. This was illustrated last Monday night at Junction City Livestock when what began as a bucket calf project for a young Morris County 4-H’er, turned into sizable donation intended to show support of American servicemen and women. Gary Johnson of Dwight donated the steer that his nine-year-old granddaughter, Haven Pearson, had shown at the Morris County Fair, to the All American Beef Battalion. The group, organized and overseen by Bill Broadie of Ashland, combines support of American troops with promotion of the beef industry by providing steak dinners to soldiers and their It takes a good-sized grill to feed as many as 1,500 servicemen and women. families. “When we started this, we realized we couldn’t feed the whole military,” Broadie said, so we think would be great, but they put three qualifiers in place. The troops either had to be getting ready to deploy, arriving then we go home and don’t home from deployment, or be in the Wounded Warrior unit.
