Valentine’s Day Tree at the Lyons Public Library

February 14, 2014 Leave a comment


The librarians at the Lyons Public Library took some extra time and effort decorating a tree for Valentine’s Day at the Lyons Public Library. “It took quite a bit of time, but we enjoyed doing it,” stated Geraldine Peterson, one of the assistant librarians.

The tree has been on display for quite sometime now, right inside the front door of the library, for all to see upon entering.

Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things

April 19th, 2006. That was 11 days after I turned 11.

More importantly, it was the day that I realized how precious life was, the day my first nephew, Dominic, was born. I didn’t realize until then the bond that an uncle has with his nieces and nephews. Now, almost 8 years later, there’s eight of them! Dominic, Natalie, Amelia, Riley, Avery, Addison,Sterling and Gemma.

These eight amazing wonders currently range from 7 years old to 8 months old and they all are the most adorable kids on the planet. One thing that I wish I would have learned earlier on in life that I got from them all was to just take a step and enjoy the little things. Like when Avery can see me from across a football field and come running to me no matter who’s around or where we are.

It was the most adorable thing during the Burt County Parade when her and her sister got off the dance float and were walking back with my sister (their mom) and I said “AVERY” and she takes off running towards me. It’s little things like that that I think of in hard times or when I have had a stressful day. I remember so many things from all of them that I could sit down for a year straight and talk to somebody about them. How smart, kind, loving, caring, advanced and innocent. That’s what they need, that innocence.

This is the time in their life when they have not a care in the world other than food and naps for the younger ones, and the occasional piece of homework for the older ones. If everyone on Earth could have that innocence back for an hour, or even a minute, I believe it would be the best thing for everyone. The more time I spend with them, the more I remember what it was like to be a kid and have no worries. But I can’t have the ‘no worry’ attitude forever, so that time that I share with them is when I use mine. It’s when I can play with Lego’s, video games, Monster High and the occasional Barbie and not get questioned. But since they’re there, I have not a care in the world but to help them grow into the best they can possibly be.

Everyone should take time to find their own place where they have no worries. A five minute break where you can bring out your inner child and enjoy the little things again.

Control Diabetes

February 13, 2014 Leave a comment


If you have diabetes, it is important that you learn to control it for life! Diabetes is a serious problem, but research shows that controlling diabetes makes a huge difference. Keep your blood sugar close to normal and you reduce your chances of serious health problems such as blindness, kidney failure and amputations.

 

University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension invites you and your family members to participate in a new and exciting diabetes education program. The series of programs is being offered via the two-way interactive distance education facilities. Participants will learn about current issues related to diabetes from educators with over 20 years of team-teaching experience. These sessions are designed to supplement the education that you receive from your local diabetes education team and are not a substitute for diabetes classes through your local health care providers.

 

March 10, is the first of three programs in the “Control Your Diabetes for Life” series. Based on recent research on the strong tie with diabetes increasing the risk of kidney disease we will focus on self-management of diabetes. Topics that will be addressed during the two hour program include: What’s New in Diabetes Care; Kidney Disease: Protect Your Kidney – Action Steps to Health; and Ways to Cut Food Costs. There will also be a question and answer period. Participants will sample a new recipe for a diabetic appropriate food. Team-teaching the program will be Stacie Petersen, B.S.N. and Certified Diabetes Educator; and Deborah Willcox, R.D. LMNT; of Franciscan Care Services in West Point and Debra Schroeder, Extension Educator in Cuming County.

 

The program on March 10 will be held a the Tekamah-Herman High School in the Distance Learning Classroom beginning at 7:00 p.m. Please pre-register by March 7, with the UNL Extension Office in Burt County at 402-374-2929 to ensure adequate availability of handouts. School Food Service staff may earn two hours of continuing education credit for attending this session. This program is a joint effort of UNL Extension, Franciscan Care Services of West Point, Educational Service Unit #2 and Tekamah-Herman High School.
