Gael Whetstone BSN RN at our Wonder Valley Community Center, 80526 ½ Amboy Road
near Blower Road, on Saturday, October 6 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Living in a
rural area, knowing how to stop severe bleeding can be a life-saving skill. A
certificate of completion will be presented to those attending and completing
the class. Class size is limited to 10, but there will be a waiting list and more
classes will be held if needed.

Since the birthstone for October is the opal and the flower
is the calendula, we send out Rainbows-of-Opals-and-Calendulas to Ron Root who
turns 56 this week. Happy birthday, Ron!
Darlene’s Commentary: When you peel a red onion, save the scraps, skins and papery pieces. They contain a high level of quercetin, a phytonurtrient that fights inflammation, reduces blood pressure, prevents arterial plaque and keeps the heart healthy. Other onions have less quercetin, but are still good for your health. Use red onion scraps when making soups, gravies, stock or sauce, then remove them before eating.

Karen’s Commentary: First,
thanks to Jean Blackburn for used stamps. Second, I made a great discovery when
I finally sat down to reluctantly compose my protest letter about the proposed
fire fees. You do not need to COMPOSE anything! It is a very simple FORM
needing only name, address and parcel number, plus a signature and date. THAT’S
IT! The title “Written Protest” is very misleading.
The Wonder Valley Lending Program has books and movies you
can borrow for a month at a time. This is like a little library, but it’s right
at our WV Community Center. Come in to see what’s available any Monday,
Wednesday or Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Handy Hint: Instead
of throwing away usable items, post them online as free and they’ll usually be
gone within a day.
