Meal Swap

I would like to start a meal swap with three other moms. I was thinking that we could all get 4 of the same 8x11 grass pyrex pans with lids. Then at the first of each month we all make four of the same dishes that can be put in the freezer. Then we swap. That way each family would have four different meals to eat thoughout the month. And we would have 3 meals that we didn't have to prepare!!! We would not need to return dishes, just start over at the first of the month. Does this make any sense? We would need to figure out the specifics (foods most families like, how much meat/veggies, and other stuff that I am not thinking about). If you are interest contact Stephanie Finlayson 245-9392. If I get more than 3 other people interested, perhaps we could put together another group.

Food storage sale

Hey everyone, You'll want to check out the great deals this week (Aug 13-19) at Maceys and Albertsons. Albertsons has boneless skinless chicken for $1.69 lb, this includes tenders too if you like them better. They also have paper towels, toilet paper, and laundry detergent for a great deal. And don't miss Maceys. They have wheat (hard red and hard white) in the buckets ready to store for $21.99 for 45lbs. I've priced this out, it's cheaper than the wheat in buckets at Sam's club, and within pennies of buying the wheat from the cannery, and buying the buckets, and doing it all yourself with a lot less work! Maceys also has sugar and flour for $8.88 for 25 lbs. Just check out the ad. Remember, both of these stores run their sales from Wed thru Tues.

Hello Wellsville 2nd ward! Many of you already know me and my darling daughter Ellie, isn't she soooo talented. I'm posting today to let you know that I will begin teaching piano lessons this fall. I have played myself since I was six years old and have 12 years teaching experience. I participated in numerous competitions and events at Utah State University when I took lessons there for approximately five of those years. I charge $30/ month, which includes four thirty-minute lessons. I am also a half-day teacher at Willow Valley Middle School and have taught school for eight years now. Give me a call if you are interested 770-6114, or e-mail me at hollystreaker1@yahoo.com. You could also just leave a comment for me on the blog. Feel free to spread the word to other friends in town as well.

West Nile Virus

I saw on the news tonight that mosquitoes infected with West Nile Virus were found in Wellsville, Young Ward, and Logan. http://www.myfoxutah.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=2622E79A1F2222EEF189F1BC2F455CB4?contentId=7138416&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1


"Severe symptoms [of West Nile Virus] can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, vision loss and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks and neurological effects may be permanent. People over the age of 50 are at the highest risk of developing severe WNV disease." http://www.brhd.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=131&Itemid=31



Prevent Bites

• Protect From Dusk Until Dawn. That is when mosquitoes that carry the virus are most active, so take precautions to prevent mosquito bites.


• Use mosquito repellents that contain DEET* when doing any outdoor activity between dusk and dawn. (Follow the label instructions carefully.)


• For adults, use repellents containing up to 35% DEET. (Concentrations higher than 50% do not provide additional protection.)


• For children 2 months–12 years, use repellents containing up to 10% DEET. Do not put DEET on children’s hands or feet.


• For children under the age of 2 months, do not use DEET.


• Consider wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants for additional protection. Wear protective clothing like long-sleeved shirts and long pants while outdoors.


• Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors or in an unscreened structure and to protect small babies any time.


• Remove Standing Water. Drain standing water, since that's where mosquitoes lay eggs. This includes tires, cans, puddles, barrels, etc.

West Nile virus is rare, but if you have symptoms including high fever, severe headache and stiff neck, contact your health care provider immediately. Though anyone can be infected and become ill, severe illness or death is more common in people over age 50. http://health.utah.gov/epi/diseases/wnv/Prevention/Protectingyourselfandyourfamily/prevent.htm
