WALK THIS WAY!

October 1, 2014 Issue 50 The Peoples Paper
WALK THIS WAY!
By Barbara Dailey
As the days of fall and winter approach, many people will be walking before the light of day or after the sun goes down.
Knowing the law can help you stay safe as a pedestrian. We will share some information and facts to help keep you safe.
Walking is good for your health, and it’s good for the environment. But before you head out on foot for a stroll, power
walk, or errand, there are some important safety tips to remember.
Most of these Walking Safety Tips also apply to bicyclists and runners.
1. Foot Wear: Use closed toe, comfortable shoes that will not slip.
2. Be Visible: Consider what you are wearing and choose clothes that drivers can easily see. Wear bright colors when
walking in daytime. When walking at night, wear light-colored clothing and reflective clothing or vest to be visible. Drivers
are often not expecting walkers to be out after dark.
3. Walk Facing Traffic: If you have a choice about where you walk, choose a route with sidewalks or a shoulder to give
you space away from traffic. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic. From the left side of the road you can see traffic
approaching and take evasive action when needed. You might have the right- of-way, but walk like drivers do not know
the rules.
4. Cross Safely: Always look both ways for cars before crossing a street or stepping off a curb. Make eye contact with
any drivers who may be turning. Give them a wave. Make sure they see you and have time to stop.
5. Walk Single File: While it can be enjoyable to walk down the road two or three abreast chatting merrily, drivers don’t
expect it and you may lose your best walking buddies.
6. Keep the volume down: Don’t drown out your environment with your ipod or stereo. Keep the volume at a level
where you can still hear bike bells and warnings from other walkers and runners. Your audiologist will also thank you.
7. Walk Dogs on Short Leashes: Keep your pet and yourself safe by learning proper leash walking. Don’t trip up other
walkers or bikers with poor control of your pet.
8. Know when to Stop Walking: Heat, dehydration, heart attack, or a stroke can strike walkers of any age. Learn the
symptoms of medical emergencies and carry a cell phone to dial 911. Important things to carry with you are water, and a
driver’s license or other ID.
It is important to remember that much like driving conditions can change seasonably or due to the weather, the same
goes for walking. For fall and winter walking, dress in layers to keep warm and dry. As the temperatures goes down,
remember the hat and gloves and wear shoes that will not slip on snow and ice. You will have more balance if you walk
with your hands out of your pockets.
Distracted walking can be deadly.
UNPLUG headphones when crossing the street.
HANG UP your cell phone until you are out of the intersection.
TEXTING CAN WAIT until you know you are safe.
LOOK UP! Make eye contact with the approaching driver and make sure the driver sees you!

Tai Chi classes are now being offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-10:30 pm @ the Lebo Library Conference Room.
Thelma Jones, RN, Coffey County Health Department, is teaching the six-week course.
Tai Chi is a form of exercise based on precise slow movements that are fluid and gentle. These exercises are great for people with
arthritis but provide many benefits for anyone. Some of the benefits include relaxation, improvement in sleep, balance and flexibility,
as well as the strengthening of muscles around the joints. Falling down is a major cause of injury as we age and research is showing
that practicing Tai Chi helps improve balance, thus reducing “falls”.
Interested?? Not sure this “New” kind of EXERCISE is for you? Join us and give it a try. You just might like it. Please call 620-364-
8631or email tjones@coffeycountyks.org to register for the class.

THE PRESENT
The summer I was 17, my family and I
moved to a new ranch style house in
west Lebo. That was a long time ago,
long enough that my LHS class
reunions now offer opportunities for
shared laughter over issues of graying
hair and aching joints. The current
owner of that once-new ranch house—
my son-in-law—can attest that it has
required some major renovation and
upkeep, just like most of my
classmates and I.
Some things have changed in our
little community of Lebo since the
Williamson family first arrived, but one
thing has remained constant: high
school students still serve concessions
in order to earn money for their senior
trip. In this spirit, parents are sometimes
asked to provide a freezer of
homemade ice cream for a community
gathering.
I remember my mother’s
apprehension when she was assigned
to bring homemade ice cream to the
senior carnival. She had never made
ice cream in her life, but Dad was
enthusiastic about the project. He
brought home a brand new White
Mountain electric ice cream freezer,
and we were referred to homemade ice
cream pro Thelma Sullivan for
instruction. Mom gathered her
ingredients, and we mixed the
concoction together with the
trepidation of a scientist who fears a
mixture might explode. To our
amazement everything worked just as
Thelma had promised, and I still
remember the look of wonder on my
parents’ faces, reflected on my own, as
we tasted the result. It was heaven in a
spoon.
From that point on homemade ice
cream was a feature at every family
celebration. We all loved the creamy
goodness whether it was rich butter
brickle, black walnut, fresh peach,
or just plain old vanilla. We loved
them all.
This past July I made a freezer of
ice cream for my husband’s
birthday celebration, and after
everyone had gone home there was
still nearly a half-gallon left over. For
several nights I guiltily scooped
servings of ice cream for the three
of us after supper each night. John
and I gradually lost the gleeful edge
of joy in this unaccustomed treat,
but because of her Alzheimer’s,
Mom’s exclamations of delight
never diminished in fervor.
There is something very sweet
about a dementia patient's ability to
function well even though robbed of
the past and unconcerned about
the future. My mom lives in the
present, and according to C.S.
Lewis, the present is the nearest
thing we have to eternity while we
are in our human forms. God is with
my mom in her present moment
and she is, for the most part, happy
living there.
Especially when there is ice
cream!
***
…the Future is, of all things, the
thing least like eternity. It is the
most completely temporal part of
time—for the Past is frozen and no
longer flows, and the Present is all
lit up with eternal rays. – from THE

Church and end the week with a community
service project. Dawn also told members that
their state fair items were ready to be picked
up at the office. She also said that the club

There was no old business.
For new business the club voted on their
nomination for friends of 4-H. They also

Quail Initiative
Habitat Tour and
Dinner – Oct. 21 st
By the Kansas Department of
Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism
Landowners and others interested in
improving quail habitat on their
property are invited to attend a Quail
Habitat Tour and free dinner
scheduled for Tuesday, October 21 st
at Melvern Wildlife Area, Reading,
Kansas. Starting at 4:30 PM, a tour
of completed and active habitat
projects on Melvern Wildlife Area will
take place. Those interested in
attending the tour will meet at the
KDWPT shop on the east side of Reading.
Following the tour, a free catered meal,
compliments of the Neosho Valley Quail
Forever and Emporia Quail and Upland
Wildlife Federation chapters, will be held at
the Reading city building around 6:00 pm.
Following dinner, Kansas Wildlife, Parks &
Tourism (KDWPT) will update participants on
the progress of the Quail Initiative Project and
present information on bobwhite biology and
habitat management. Local Natural Resource
Conservation Service (NRCS) personnel will
also be on hand to discuss relevant cost
share programs available, as well as
representatives from other local conservation
organizations. The evening will wrap up with a
time for questions, discussion, and the
opportunity to sign up for habitat planning
assistance.
The Kansas Quail Initiative is an effort
spearheaded by the KDWPT to implement
additional funding in two areas of Eastern
Kansas to improve habitat for quail and
monitor the changes over the next five years.
The goal is to improve quail populations by
50% in these focus areas. The area of focus
area for this meeting includes the Melvern
Wildlife Area and over 190,000 acres in
portions of Lyon, Wabaunsee, Osage and
Coffey counties. “We plan to offer 100% cost
sharing for landowners in these areas to
implement ‘quail friendly practices’ on their
land,” according to Jim Pitman, Kansas small
game coordinator. “KDWPT has designated
$100,000 each year to this effort and those
dollars can be used to supplement the
normal 75% cost share rate from federal
habitat programs. The bottom line is that
landowners in this focal area will work with
biologists to plan habitat improvements for
quail and cost-share payments will cover all
the costs,” according to Pitman. Some of the
practices eligible for cost-share funding
include native grass and forb planting,
removal of invading trees from grasslands,
prescribed burning, hedgerow renovation and
prescribed grazing. During its first two years,
the Initiative has directly impacted nearly
1,300 private land acres and 4,400 public
land acres.
To learn more about this effort, call 620-
342-0658 by October 15th to make your
reservation for the habitat tour and/or meal. If
cannot attend, but would like to know more
about the initiative, call Pat Riese, District
Biologist, 620-583-5049.

be able to continue our monthly newsletter. Due to increased
costs of mailing and printing each month, we are looking at
decreasing the number of pages in each issue as well as
decreasing the number of mailed subscribers.
It is currently costing over $6.00 per year for each mailed
subscription. This includes postage, paper and ink. If you would
like to switch from a mailed subscription to e-mail, please notify
us at lebolight@gmail.com.
