S e p t e m b e r 1 , 2 0 1 4 The Lebo Light Page 4 Time to GO HUNTING again! September is the opening month of a few hunting seasons in Kansas and by all accounts, game is flourishing. From birds to deer, 2014 has been pretty good to the health of the wildlife we hunt. Dove season opens September 1 st , with Whitetail Youth & Disability season opening September 6 th . Muzzleloader and Bow season opens September 15 th . I’ve seen pictures of deer and dove that tell me that we have a great harvest ahead of us. If you drive along the roads around Lebo, you will find many spots where the many dove are roosting on telephone wires along the roads. I have also seen several game cameras that are capturing some very nice looking deer out there! Needless to say, if you haven’t been cleaning and shooting your guns and bows, it’s time to get after it! I am excited to get started and I plan to be out there. Don’t forget to pick up your hunting license and HIP stamp for dove before you load up. If you plan to hunt the public areas around Melvern and hate to fill out the daily hunting permits, I recommend going to the KDWPT website and registering for an iSportsman tag that gives you a General Access Permit for the entire season. You can access the website online at: https:// kdwpt.isportsman.net/. With the account, you are ready to "Check-In" and "Check-Out" to a property from anywhere using Computers and Smart Phones (internet), or cell or land-line phones…or you can continue to fill out the paper permits every trip if you wish. Fall is also a great time to wet a line and try some lake fishing. The Kansas Wildlife and Parks website has a paragraph that talks about fishing in our area. “Most parts of the state are reporting fair to good white bass and wiper, with an excellent abundance at Coffey County Lake and Cheney Reservoir. Coffey County anglers recommend twister tails and small jigs and spinners.” I’d like to also mention that my nephew, Remington Wagner of Yates Center, fished the National BASS Nation High School Tournament again this year. Unfortunately, he and his fishing partner finished 38 th out of 64 fishing teams at Kentucky Lake in Paris, Tennessee. Remi will be back at it next year since his Mom and Dad bought a bass boat early this summer and Remi plans to run it ragged this year, and I’m gonna try to help him do it!. Good Luck Buddy! Have a great hunting season and be safe out there! LEBO TOPS There is a new meeting time and date for Lebo TOPS.

S e p t e m b e r 1 , 2 0 1 4 The Lebo Light Page 5 CREATE A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT I remember a Sunday school lesson I taught to a group of junior high students a few years ago. I called it "GIGO": garbage in, garbage out. The term came from the computing world; if the programming is bad, then the output will be flawed as well. The analogy drawn for my group was this: we can't be careless about the material we choose to see and hear, and nevertheless expect to behave with respect and kindness toward other people. Just as we should not subsist on a diet of junk food with no healthy food choices, we also have a responsibility to guard what we view and hear in order to protect our hearts and minds. I was slow to extend this principle to my caregiving practices for my mother. I provided books, newspapers, and magazines, but it did not at first occur to me to monitor Mom’s responses. In the mid-stages of Alzheimer's, the ability to comprehend multiple layers of meaning is compromised, and so reading material should be straightforward and at an appropriate reading level. Musical selections are important as well. Music bypasses the mind and travels straight to the emotions, and this affords a wonderful opportunity to create a positive mood for dementia patients. I've noticed Mom seems sad after hearing certain melodies and so we avoid those. Christian Gospel and patriotic music put her in a wonderful mood. Classical piano or guitar is soothing for her. I know all this, but recently I nevertheless made a caregiving error (aka, dumb mistake) that I allowed to persist over weeks of time. I'd been to a book-selling event and had visited with an author who had written an inviting-looking volume that sported an appealing title and attractive cover illustration. I purchased a copy and when I returned home, I gave the book to Mom without reading it myself. Over several weeks of time she read this book repeatedly, as she does, and during that same time frame her level of contentment deteriorated. I thought she was moving to a more advanced stage of Alzheimer's. However, one afternoon I was straightening Mom’s chair-side table, and I picked up that attractive book and began to read. I was not exactly shocked; disappointed was more my response. What had seemed like a wholesome book of the "Little House on the Prairie" genre was full of unnecessarily crude descriptions and language. I removed that book from Mom's table and replaced it with the devotional I wrote just for her, along with a novel by Janette Oke. Within two days’ time, Mom’s outlook was sunny once again. Alzheimer patients lose the ability to remember that a given media selection causes emotions of grief or anger. It is our responsibility as caregivers to monitor our loved ones’ responses and provide music, reading, and TV/movie choices that elicit positive emotions.
