We need to get our reports in for all the programs; especially Hos- pital and Membership. If we don’t get these in on time we will lose those members who have paid and are expecting membership cards. My special project at the National Home has been com- pleted, it was to refurbish the water filtration system so the whole campus can have a glass of cold GOOD water to drink. This is very close to me, as I and many of you have been where there is no good water to drink. And I live over the Ogallala Aquafer which has the best water in the world. Also, I have set a personal goal to report to the Com- mander In Chief that the MOC has done $15,000,000.00 in Hospital work this year! I am not sure that is possible, but boy what an impact that would be on those who don’t want us to continue! I just know that if we report all the hours and miles we use to visit Veterans, I truly believe that we would be way over that figure. This may be a dream, but it is my dream for our organization. So please get in all your reports and get your Special projects and MOC-MOCA House paid so you have full voting rights at Convention in Kansas City in July. I look forward to seeing you when I visit some of the Grands. Yours in LOTCS, Dan Kramer Supreme Commander 2017-18 5 From the Supreme Sr. Vice Commander Listen Up Cooties, I want to thank all the cooties I have had contact with this year for all the hospitality and comradeship shown to me. I will carry these memories with me as prized pos- sessions. Our Supreme Commander Dan Kramer has demonstrated all the qualities of a fun loving brotherly cootie and it has been an honor to serve under him. We are closing another year, so be sure to wrap up this year for our Supreme Commander Dan Kramer. With the help of cooties everywhere we can achieve and surpass our goals. Time is running out with May being the end of our year, so let us get busy and do have some fun. I attended Dan Kramer’s Homecoming in North Platte, Nebraska and the event was packed with activities including a visit to Pals Brewing Company, the Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard in North Platte, the Lincoln County Historical Museum & Village and the Bill Cody Ranch. If you missed this one you missed a good one. Now I look forward to the Grand of Ohio’s Easter Treat at the VFW National Home. I will be visiting several Grand Scratches and look forward to meeting new cooties and renewing old friendships. I hope to see everyone in Kansas City, Missouri. L.O.T.C.S. Emil Soltesz Supreme Sr. Vice Commander 6 From the Supreme Jr. Vice-Commander Listen Cooties! Here it is the year is almost over. I have had a great time, and thanks goes out to all you Cooties for your support. I need it! If you ever need anything from me, please call, I’ll be glad to help… “KEEP THEM SMILING IN BEDS OF WHITE” Yours in LOTCS, Steve W. Ruger Sr. Supreme Jr. Vice Commander 2017-2018 [email protected] 912-550-8763 7 From the Supreme Quartermaster Listen Cooties, Well Spring is here in Turtle Creek, PA. However, as I write the article it is snowing like crazy and so far we have about 8 inches and do not know when it is going to stop. So much for a weather report. Membership is coming in slowly and the Supreme Organi- zation is only at 86.39%. CCDB’s Quartermaster please do not hold membership. Something to remember when processing membership, if you have a new cootie please send in the cootie application with your transmittal. Too many CCDB’s and Quartermasters are not including the application with your transmittals. This just slows down the process of getting a new cootie into the system. In order for a cootie to go life they have to be cootie in good standing. This has been a problem this year because someone is holding off on processing membership and by the time the transmittal gets to Headquarters the cootie is no longer a member in good standing. We currently have only one Grand that has qualified for All Star, however there are 11 Grands at 90% or better in membership. Remember for a Grand to qualify for All Star they have to be 100% in the following programs: Membership, Hospital work, Donations to the Supreme Commanders Special Project, Donations to the MOC/MOCA Cootie house and Inspections. They also have to finish the membership year with same of pup tents that they had at the beginning of the year. Grand donations to the Supreme Commanders Special Project and to the MOC/MOCA coo- tie house are at 72% and 64% respectively. We have less than 2 ½ months in this program year. The Supreme policy clearly states the each cootie will be assessed $2.00 this year. $1.00 for the Supreme Commanders Special Project and the other $1.00 for the MOC/MOCA house. Remember that all pup tent elections and installations are to have been completed by March 31, 2018. Election reports should be sent (email, fax or hard copy) to both the Supreme Ad- jutant and to Supreme Headquarters. I just checked with our Hotel in Kansas City and we are currently at 49% of our contract- ed number of rooms. Also, remember if you are staying at the Cootie hotel and attending the VFW convention we have contracted for two trips in the morning and two trips in the afternoon for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, July 22-24, 2018. Cost for a round trip ride is $20.00. The tickets can be purchased from Supreme Headquarters and I can mail you your 8 tickets or give them to you when I arrive at the hotel. If you are coming to the Supreme Convention be sure to check the supply department for the convention specials. Have a lousy Spring and a lousy Grand Convention. Yours in L.O.T.C.S. Gary Dressel Supreme Quartermaster Hey there! Yep, I’m a Nit. I just wanted to thank everyone for trying to make some unsuspecting Atom take those backward steps and become a part of our Crummy organi- zation. Remember to get those membership applications in ASAP! Let’s make our Supreme QM have a Lousy and most Annoying day! 9 From the Supreme Sky Pilot Listen Cooties, Sheila and I spent the last couple of weekends on the road.

  • A Short History of the Lincoln Penny
    Read the passage. Then answer the question below. A Short History of the Lincoln Penny Few objects are more common than the Lincoln penny. On any given day, you probably have a few in your pocket or purse. The typical household in the United States has hundreds of pennies squirreled away in piggy banks, jars, and drawers. Everyone is familiar with the penny, but few people ever look at it closely or know much about its history. When the Lincoln penny made its appearance in 1909, it was the first American coin to show the portrait of a historical person. A few coins, such as the Indian Head penny and the Buffalo nickel, had portrayed anonymous Native Americans. Americans, however, had always opposed using coins to honor historical figures. The strong desire to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday overcame this sentiment. Victor D. Brenner, a Chicago sculptor, contributed the design for the Lincoln penny. His simple, somewhat stark portrait of Lincoln was topped with the words, “In God We Trust.” This was the first time these words appeared on a penny. The word “Liberty,” as mandated by a law passed by Congress, appears to the left of Lincoln, and the date is on his right. Brenner’s initials—VDB—appeared under the date on the first coins. After the coin was released, however, Americans complained that the initials were too large and detracted from the overall design of the penny. So the U.S. Mint removed the initials. As a result, pennies made in 1909 are highly prized by rare coin collectors.

  • Pediculosis (Lice, Head Lice, Body Lice, Pubic Lice, Cooties, Crabs) Fact Sheet
    New York State Department of Health Pediculosis (lice, head lice, body lice, pubic lice, cooties, crabs) Last Reviewed: November 2006 What is pediculosis? Pediculosis is an infestation of the hairy parts of the body or clothing with the eggs, larvae or adults of lice. The crawling stages of this insect feed on human blood, which can result in severe itching. Head lice are usually located on the scalp, crab lice in the pubic area and body lice along seams of clothing. Body lice travel to the skin to feed and return back to the clothing. Who gets pediculosis? Anyone may become louse infested under suitable conditions of exposure. Pediculosis is easily transmitted from person to person during direct contact. Head lice infestations are frequently found in school settings or institutions. Crab lice infestations can be found among sexually active individuals. Body lice infestation can be found in people living in crowded, unsanitary conditions where clothing is infrequently changed or laundered. How is pediculosis spread? For both head lice and body lice, transmission can occur during direct contact with an infested individual. Sharing of clothing and combs or brushes may also result in transmission of these insects. While other means are possible, crab lice are most often transmitted through sexual contact. What are the symptoms of pediculosis? Usually, the first indication of an infestation is the itching or scratching in the area of the body where the lice feed. Scratching at the back of the head or around the ears should lead to an examination for head louse eggs (nits) on the hair.

  • KNIFE SUPERSTITIONS by LRV 2007 I Was Raised by My Grandparents and Was Always Interested in Their Superstitions
    KNIFE SUPERSTITIONS By LRV 2007 I was raised by my grandparents and was always interested in their superstitions. Many of these were based on safety and I found were really an easier way to remember not to do something. Walk under a ladder, open an umbrella in the house, walk behind a horse etc all seemed to make some sense. One of these superstitions was always interesting to me. My grandfather being from the “Old Country” had many superstitions but never handing a knife directly to someone always seemed a little strange to me. He would always put a knife down on the table or desk and allow me or others to take it from there. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered that other than for safety reasons there were other superstitions out there relating to knives. This is a collection of what I’ve been able to find. Some are very similar to one another but different enough that I thought they were interesting. The most common by far was exchanging a gift knife for a penny. Giving a knife as a gift • A knife as a gift from a lover means that the love will soon end. • If a friend gives you a knife, you should give him a coin, or your friendship will soon be broken. • Never give a knife as a housewarming present, or your new neighbor will become an enemy. • To make a present of a knife or any other sharp instrument unless you receive something in exchange. • Giving a knife as a gift you should tape a penny to it so as to not severe the relationship.

  • Insights from Wildfire Science: a Resource for Fire Policy Discussions
    Insights from wildfire science: A resource for fire policy discussions January 2016 Tania Schoennagel1, Penny Morgan2, Jennifer Balch1, Philip Dennison3, Brian Harvey1, Richard Hutto4, Meg Krawchuk5, Max Moritz6, Ray Rasker7, and Cathy Whitlock8 1University of Colorado-Boulder, 2University of Idaho, 3University of Utah, 4University of Montana, 5Oregon State University, 6University of California-Berkeley, 7Headwaters Economics, 8Montana State University Authors: http://headwaterseconomics.org/wphw/wp-content/uploads/wildfire-insights- authors.pdf [KEYWORDS: forests, shrublands, wildfire, climate change, fire management, fuel reduction treatments, prescribed fire, restoration, fire-adapted, bark beetles, land-use planning, fire- adapted communities] Record blazes swept across parts of the US in 2015, burning more than 10 million acres. The four biggest fire seasons since 1960 have all occurred in the last 10 years, leading to fears of a ‘new normal’ for wildfire. Fire fighters and forest managers are overwhelmed, and it is clear that the policy and management approaches of the past will not suffice under this new era of western wildfires. In recent decades, state and federal policymakers, tribes, and others are confronting longer fire seasons (Jolly et al. 2015), more large fires (Dennison et al. 2014), a tripling of homes burned, and a doubling of firefighter deaths (Rasker 2015). Federal agencies now spend $2 to $3 billion annually fighting fires (and in the case of the US Forest Service, over 50% of their budget), and the total cost to society may be up to 30 times more than the direct cost of firefighting. If we want to contain these costs and reduce risks to communities, economies, and natural systems, we can draw on the best available science when designing fire management strategies, as called for in the recent federal report on Wildland Fire Science and Technology.

  • Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Effects of Fire on Fauna
    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Ecosystems Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 1 Effects of Fire on Fauna January 2000 Abstract _____________________________________ Smith, Jane Kapler, ed. 2000. Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on fauna. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 1. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 83 p. Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, stand- replacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory fires. Animal species are adapted to survive the pattern of fire frequency, season, size, severity, and uniformity that characterized their habitat in presettlement times. When fire frequency increases or decreases substantially or fire severity changes from presettlement patterns, habitat for many animal species declines. Keywords: fire effects, fire management, fire regime, habitat, succession, wildlife The volumes in “The Rainbow Series” will be published during the year 2000.

With the holiday season coming to a close, I look forward to the upcoming events and the new calendar year. Our membership is always out in the community doing great things for veterans, and being a general positive light for all of our brothers and sisters in arms. During the 2017 holiday season, we hosted our first ever Thanksgiving meal for Veterans in the community that may not have family to spend it with. The idea was thought up and executed by our bar manager, Kourtenay Main, and was a great time and I hope we can continue to host this each and every year. Christmas is a time to spend with family and enjoy the good things in life. The post was closed Christmas day to allow our family to spend time with their families. Even as Christmas closed in, our membership still worked hard to ensure that our Veterans were taken care of. I am so proud of the people that make post 1650 what it. Every time I think that there isn’t anything more we can do, the membership of post 1650 proves me wrong.
