Seems like such a brief time ago that we were waiting for the 21st century to begin and here we are almost 24 years into it. This is such a fun time of the year. We call it the holiday season. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all to celebrate. It is truly my hope that each one of us can consider the wonderful things that are in our lives and sincerely celebrate all that we ought to be grateful for. The harvest has just taken place, and some will continue for the next few weeks. What a joy it is to see the abundance of the earth and what it produces when good people work its soil. The fresh fruits and vegetables that our gardens produce is always enjoyable. The bounteous harvest that comes from the collective efforts of the area farmers is a miracle to behold. These kinds of blessings always fill the heart with gratitude. I would like to share a few thoughts about the military veterans in our community. We have so much to thank them for. So, how do we do this? Here are some suggestions. Become aware of veterans in your neighborhood and make it a point to tell them of your appreciation for their service. When you can, check on their wellbeing. Many of them carry burdens that are not readily apparent. For the second time in decades, we will be having a Veterans Day Parade in our area. It will be Saturday November 4th. Make plans to come to this event and acknowledge and honor them in this way. A sizable number of them are aging and have needs that provide us with and opportunity to serve them in this time of their lives. A wonderful way to say thanks to others for serving is to serve. I love living in this part of Idaho. I love the land and the people. Life is good here and the best is yet to come. Let us all smile and count our blessings.

Message from the Chubbuck Fire Department about Fire Prevention Week : October 08-14, 2023 This year’s Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW™) campaign, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention, works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe when cooking. Cooking Safety: Cooking brings family and friends together, provides an outlet for creativity and can be relaxing. But did you know that cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries? By following a few safety tips you can prevent these fires Cook with Caution: • Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop. • Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. • If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. • Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop. • If you have a small (grease) cooking fire and decide to fight the fire.  On the stovetop, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.  For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. • If you have any doubt about fighting a small fire.  Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire.  Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number from outside the home.
