Thunderstorm Safety: Avoiding a Lightning StrikeWarm weather usually means fun in the sun, but summer heat also can bring severe weather. Threatening thunderstorms often loom large on summer afternoons so it’s important to be prepared for downpours and accompanying lightning, which can strike outdoors or indoors. Consider the following suggestions when planning both outdoor and indoor events this summer to reduce the risk of a lightning strike.• Watch the weather. Pay attention to your local weather forecast before participating in outdoor activities. If there’s a chance of thunderstorms, consider rescheduling or moving events indoors. If that’s not possible, have an emergency plan in place in case a severe storm rolls in and designate a sufficient nearby structure as an emergency shelter.

• Stay inside. If severe thunderstorms are imminent, go indoors and wait until they pass. Safe, enclosed shelters include homes, schools, offices, shopping malls and vehicles with hard tops and closed windows. Open structures and spaces do not provide adequate protection.

• Duck and crouch. If you’re caught outside during a severe storm, it’s important to crouch low on the ground, tuck your head and cover your ears to help protect yourself from harm. Do not lie down; lightning strikes can produce extremely strong electrical currents that run along the top of the ground and laying horizontally increases electrocution risk.

• Turn off faucets. During a thunderstorm, lightning can sometimes be conducted through the plumbing. Avoid any type of contact with running water, including bathing, showering, and washing your hands, dishes, or clothes.

• Turn off electronics. All electrical appliances—televisions, computers, laptops, gaming systems, stoves, and more—that are plugged into an electrical outlet could carry a current from a lightning strike. Surge protectors will reduce the risk of damaging electronics.

• Stay away from windows. Not only is lightning a threat, but high winds and hail create flying debris that could be harmful during a thunderstorm. Close all windows and doors and keep away from them.

Garden Tips for AugustHomegrown and Hazard-Free

By: Jacki Hein, Douglas County Master Gardener

Ready, aim,… hold it! Instead of reaching for the canister of insecticide to defend your garden against insect invasions this summer, try a few organic measures first and avoid using toxic substances unless necessary.

Many tiny, soft-bodied insects such as aphids, whiteflies, or thrips can be controlled simply by hosing them off plants with a strong spray of water, or by the use of insecticidal soaps. Soaps are nontoxic to humans or animals and will degrade rapidly in the environment. They work by penetrating the skin of these insects causing cells to collapse and insects to die.

Insecticidal soaps may be purchased at garden centers, or you can make your own by mixing 3-4 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid with one gallon of water. Spray plants during the cooler times of the day – never at high noon when the sun is hot, or damage could be done to the plants as well.

With the rain we’ve had recently, or with excessive watering, slugs are often found slithering on leaves of lettuce and other broad-leaved plants. Thinning plants that are too close together will provide better air circulation and a drier, less slug-prone environment, but other things may be done as well. Slugs need a moist surface to move about. A light sprinkling of diatomaceous earth is a good organic method of control. Widely available in nurseries, diatomaceous earth is an abrasive dust which effectively pierces the bodies of these invaders – and causes no harm to birds or other critters that might eat the slugs.

Let us not forget mention of the most damaging problem to tomato growers – the tomato hornworm. Often measuring three inches in length, this voracious feeder can easily strip leaves and eat ugly holes into fruit. Hand picking of worms is effective, but difficult since they blend into the color of plants.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an organic measure to control hornworms and other caterpillar pests. It works by infecting caterpillars with a bacterial disease that causes their demise. The disease is purely insect-borne and also is not harmful to birds or to the people harvesting their garden produce.

Aside from insect problems, fungal diseases may be appearing now in home gardens. These are often the result of inappropriate cultural methods – for example, watering late in the evening will allow leaves to remain wet through most of the night. Fungal diseases require a moist environment and we create this by watering too late. Water either earlier, i.e. before 8:00pm so that leaves will dry quickly, or during early morning hours. Better yet, employ a drip irrigation system so that water is put directly onto the ground without touching leaves.

Should diseases appear, sanitation is the first line of attack. Pick off and dispose of diseased leaves. Toss them into the trash rather than compost pile so they will be removed from your yard. Fungal problems can also be controlled organically by use of sulfur sprays, following label directions carefully.

Organic controls are not overnight fixes to insect problems. It may take several days before much difference is noticed. The benefit, however, of knowing your garden is free of harsh insecticides makes the wait more than worthwhile for organic gardeners. As always, make sure you read the label thoroughly before applying anything to ensure maximum effectiveness and proper application technique.

Before the Bell Rings: Back to School Safety

As boys and girls throughout the community sharpen their pencils and get ready to head back to class, it’s important to ensure they have a safe school year. Here are some tips on how your family can be proactive and avoid potentially harmful situations:• Make sure your school has your child’s updated emergency contact information. Write down any specific instructions that should be followed in case of an emergency, and have the school keep them in your child’s file.

• Talk to your child’s teachers before classes start and alert them to any medical issues your child has. Also, explain to the teacher what he or she should do if the medical issues arise—such as an allergic reaction, asthma attack or seizure—and provide school personnel with emergency medication such as EpiPens® (Epinephrine Auto-Injectors) and inhalers.

• Help your children memorize important phone numbers so that they know how to get in touch with you and other trusted adults. Also, make sure those numbers are programmed into their cell phones, or provide them with a list of phone numbers that they can keep in their backpacks or wallets at all times.

• Let your children know exactly who they can go home with after school if their regular ride can’t pick them up, and make sure they know not to accept rides from people who aren’t on the list.

• If your children will be walking to school, walk the route with them several times before classes start to make sure they understand traffic laws and can walk the route on their own. Also, find a friend or sibling they can walk with, and make sure they always use the buddy system.

• Show your children which houses in the neighborhood they can go to in case no one is at home after school. Talk to the School board to see if there are any official safe houses in the community that your child can go to.

• Report reckless drivers to the police to help make sure the neighborhood remains safe, particularly during times when kids are going to and returning from school.


Clothes To Kids of Denver

The mission of Clothes To Kids of Denver is to provide new and quality used clothing to preschool through 12th grade students from low-income or in-crisis families in the Denver Metro Area, free of charge. Their values include:

• COMPASSION To provide a cheerful, friendly atmosphere where those served feel comfortable and welcome.

• RESPECT To be respectful and considerate of those served and not question or judge the circumstances that bring them us.

• SELF-ESTEEM To build students’ self-esteem by providing them with clothing that makes them feel good about themselves.

• SERVICE To work hard and give our best to help those we serve.

In 2002, working as school volunteers, Jode Eye and Marie McClung saw first-hand that inadequate clothing was a barrier to success among low-income children and youth. After some research, the two women discovered a tremendous need within their community for clothing for students and worked together to found the first Clothes to Kids in Florida.

In Denver, Gail Cerny, a volunteer serving in Colorado schools, also recognized a striking number of students without adequate clothing, which noticeably impacted their peer interactions, school attendance and ability to build self-esteem. After examining possible ways to meet this need in the Denver community, Gail visited the Clothes to Kids store in Florida in January of 2007. She was so inspired by the impact Clothes To Kids was having that she joined forces with Joyce Meyers, Lesa Butler and Mary Overington to found Clothes to Kids of Denver (CTKD), which opened its doors on September 2, 2008.

Today, CTKD provides hundreds of free school wardrobes each month to students from low-income or in-crisis families and has built a strong reputation among schools, human service agencies, shelters, hospitals, clinics and faith communities across the Denver Metro Area, which have come to rely on CTKD to meet the clothing needs of students from low-income families.
